CB4


This 1993 comedy, written and starring Chris Rock is i think his funniest work, this movie is an hilarious parody of N.W.A's 'Straight Outta Compton' biopic, yes thats right, even though it came twenty-two year before, making it even more genius and innovative, plus Ice Cube and Eazy E of  N.W.A make a cameo appearance as themselves. The movie is also a kind of rockumentery that follows the rise of CB4 (cell block 4) which is Chris Rocks characters group in this comedy that basically made fun of N.W.A through out the whole movie, CB4 even had their own version of the song 'Straight Outta Compton' and called it 'Straight Outta Locash', Locash being the city Albert (Chris Rock) and his group members/friends are from.
Gusto and Albert go head to head

This movie also stars Charlie Murphy (Eddie Murphy's older brother), as the bad guy, Gusto, who's identity got taken by Albert (Chris Rock), so he can live out his gangtsta rap super star fantasy, which proves costly when the real Gusto gets out of jail.
