Review of CB4 (1993) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 18 Jul 1998
CB4 is a profoundly confused movie, combining rap music with a satire of the world of rap. Working both sides of the street, it gets caught in traffic. The film stars Chris Rock and Phil Hartman from Saturday Night Live, but it doesn't have SNL's smarts -- and worse, it doesn't have any sense of what's funny.
On a structural level, it's incompetently written and directed.
