4.0 out of 5 stars CB4, 14 Jun 2004
in a nutshell, CB4 is a laugh in the face of the 'gangster rap' scene of the 1990's. It could loosely be described as a spoof to the scene, but isn't as obvious as the airplane or naked gun films. the film stars an early Chris Rock who was coming straight from his success in New Jack City, who plays the films leading character Albert Brown. Along with his two 'homies', they are the most hopeless rappers that has emerged on the rap scene in LA and are desperate for the 'big break' to set off their career. Then one night they are showcasing in a club and meet the notorious rapper MC Gusto, which gives them the idea to relaunch themselves as 'gangster rappers'. Things take a turn for the best and they suddenly are catapulted to stardom, with serious consequences. From then on in, the film really takes off and features cameos from Ice-T, Ice Cuve, MC Ren and Public Enemys Flavor Flav and Chuck D. If you like gangster rap, then this is the film for you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Straight out of Locash and Lostyle, 6 Sep 2009

This review is from: CB4 [DVD] [1993] (DVD)
Clearly one of director Tamra Davis early efforts. Made in 1993 after she was fresh out of the music video scene. I thought this had all the hallmarks of an amateurish quickie (and probably low budget, too)

Rap music culture is a rich vein of over-the-top personalities and quirky business dealings that obviously has the potential for some knockout satirical fun and to wrap it up in a fake documentary like CB4 was the best way to go but to work well it needs creative talent in writing and direction that is so lacking here. Best bits, for me, were the songs and these worked because all that was required were the lyrics from well known hits and then change the words. Making a good movie, though, is a lot more effort.

A year after CB4 was released 'Fear of a black hat' came out. Exactly the same premise but I thought it was so much better. All the usual suspects were included but it actually hung together as a movie rather than a series of potentially funny vignettes which is CB4.

This review is from: CB4 [DVD] [1993] (DVD)
this film was okay. sounded funnier than it was. it is a spoof documentary about a rap group. you will enjoy it more if you are familiar with early nineties rap as it is making fun of that kind of culture. some funny moments but overall average.
