Plot
A "rockumentary", covering the rise to fame of MC Gusto, Stab Master Arson, and Dead Mike: members of the rap group "CB4". We soon learn that these three are not what they seem and don't appear to know as much about rap music as they claim... but a lack of musical ability in an artist never hurts sales, does it?
Sinekatalog’s take
A mock-documentary spoof of gangsta rap in which three suburban guys fake their hard-edged image, and the jokes ride on the gap between image and reality. Uneven and loud, but the satirical idea is sharp and often funny. Good for fans of loose, scattershot parody.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
