I am not a huge Chris Rock fan, But I enjoyed Cb4 and it's parodying. I thought Kandi Alexander(newsradio) was sexy and Great, I thought the movie was funny, in a silly sort of way.I enjoyed Phil Hartman's(R.I.P.) Role too.

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 rap hits and then change the words. Making a 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.

Great Movie

This is a hidden gem. Chris Rock and Chris Elliot (I think that's his name) pair up for one of the Original Mockumentaries. Perhaps a Rapumentary? Either way, its hilarious.

I saw this when it first came out, and found it again here... still funny! I love Chris Rock, and there are other stars like Phil Hartman who are great!
