Da Hip Hop Witch is a 2000 American comedy film directed, produced and written by Dale Resteghini. A parody of the 1999 independent horror film The Blair Witch Project, the film features appearances by musicians Eminem, Mobb Deep, Ja Rule, Rah Digga, Killah Priest, Pras, Vitamin C and Vanilla Ice.[1]
After learning about the "Hip Hop Witch", a powerful supernatural being that lurks in the ghettos and attacks upcoming rappers which makes their record sales go up, five suburban teenagers go on a quest to get their rap careers started by being attacked by this "Hip Hop Witch". Filming their experience, they run into past hip hop stars that have already battled the Witch in person.
Preceding the film's release, Eminem's lawyers attempted to have his scenes removed from the film,[2] and tried to halt its distribution.[3] In 2003, Artisan Entertainment planned to reissue the film on VHS and DVD with artwork prominently advertising Eminem's appearance in the film.[4] Before the film's reissue, Artisan recalled copies featuring this artwork without official explanation.[4]
