Rap musicians find something new to be afraid of in this hip-hop-themed parody of The Blair Witch Project.

As The Street Don presents daily television reports on the witch's latest victims, everyone who can scare up the courage (and needs the money badly enough) hits the streets looking for the she-demon, while a number of rappers discuss their own horrifying encounters with the Black Witch. Da Hip Hop Witch features appearances by top-selling recording artists Eminem, Mobb Deep, Pras, Ja Rule, Vitamin C, Killah Priest, Spliff Star, and Vanilla Ice. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
