For those wondering, #CB4 is the literal #HipHop equivalent of the legendary rock mockumentary #SpinalTap. If you liked Spinal Tap, or even Dogs In Show… you will probably enjoy CB4.

It’s the 32nd anniversary of one of the greatest Mockumentaries of all time: Nelson George’s #CB4. A masterwork of comedic commentary on #HipHop* #music’s evolution, especially in its golden era peak of the early 90s.

So you know what that means.

This popped up in my YouTube feed tonight, which I had no choice but to repost because it makes me laugh so much every time I see it. It's from #ChrisRock's brilliant and criminally underrated #CB4, which is essentially "This Is Spinal Tap" but concerning '90s gangster rap. Here, an Eazy-E-type gangster rapper gets obsessed with '90s Afrocentrism, and we're watching the first video from his newly "Africa Proud" hiphop album.

@WythenshaweMethodists Do you know hunger, do you know cold ? How can you know for certain what ppl "need" in order to take to the streets ? NYCHA public housing (a.k.a. "social housing" and "council housing") residents have food and housing (to some extent), and yet they won't rise up to fight back against exploitation. Unfortunately, they have to lose their food and shelter until they can "get" that they are being used and abused. Not until more ppl are living in skid row will they figure out that they've been had ! #WhiteHouse #WHCOS #MarciaFudge #HUD #PressSec #SDNYNews #CB4 #FightForNYCHA

Terrific, funny cast. And some badass beats. But much like the culture it parodies, #CB4 is more flash than substance. It has a story, sure, but it's not exactly what I would describe as tight. But it's there, and given the nature of the film it's more than enough to hang a parody of gangster rap culture on.

Fun stuff.

4/5

A ★★★★ review of CB4 (1993)

I'd seen the poster for this repeatedly back in the day after it dropped on video, but I didn't realize it was a comedy. Oops. So I'm glad I finally caught up with it... 30 years later... oof. A spiritual ancestor to Half-Baked? Almost. They both certainly share the same sense of humor and tone. They'd make a great pair for a double-feature at a drive-in, at any rate. Terrific, funny cast. And some badass beats. But much like the culture it parodies, CB4 is more flash than substance. It has a story, sure, but it's not exactly what I

Giving #CB4 a shot.
