This fake documentary, covering the rise to fame of MC Gusto, Stab Master Arson, and Dead Mike: members of the rap group 'CB4', who pretend to be tough street thugs. When they come face to face with real gangsta violence, however, their true colors are revealed.
Partly scripted by Nelson George, the premier authority on hip hop, the film is not without moments of insight, and there are certainly enough gross-out gags to keep you watching.
One of the first movies to parody gangsta rap, it does so knowingly and affectionately.

If your mood is loose and profane, if you speak hip-hop (or you just like hearing it) and if you think Rock is funny (he is), you'll be glad you checked this out.
CB4 promises sharper satire than it actually delivers.

As a series of ocasionally-amusing vignettes, CB4 is is fitfully entertaining. However, when everything is tied together into a cohesive whole, this movie is a colossal mess.
CB4 just isn't too funny, and one gets the feeling that the filmmakers themselves lacked the resolve or coherence of vision to mock rap in any effective fashion.
Tamra Davis, a musicvideo director with the well-received feature debut Guncrazy on her resume, might have really had something here had she settled on any one of the many paths the movie starts down.
