Editing CB4 (section)

==Reception==
The movie had a mixed reception from critics. ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' wrote that despite ''CB4'' having been "one of the more adventurous of the recent African-American comedies, it still gets bogged down in those movie-movie formulas, those phony recipes for success."<ref>{{cite news|title= MOVIE REVIEW : 'CB4' Hips, Hops and Just Bounces Too Much  |work=Los Angeles Times|date=1993-03-12|url= https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-03-12-ca-9899-story.html|access-date=2011-11-06|first=Michael|last=Wilmington}}</ref> ''[[The New York Times]]''' Janet Maslin wrote that the film "promises sharper satire than it actually delivers. Pandering a shade too avidly to the real rap audience, the film sometimes tries to use the same sexist, mean-spirited ethos it makes fun of."

The movie currently holds a rating of 52% "Rotten" rating on [[Rotten Tomatoes]], based on 27 reviews.<ref>{{cite news|title= Review/Film; 3 Rappers Seeking Stardom  |work= [[The New York Times]]|date=1993-03-12|url= https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9F0CE0DA103CF931A25750C0A965958260|access-date=2011-11-06|first=Janet|last=Maslin}}</ref>
