Gusto believes that the trio set him up, swearing revenge when he is released from prison.

" A parody of rap music, including Public Enemy, N.W.A., Ice T,, MC Hammer, and PM Dawn, CB4 certains around “The Most Dangerous Rap Group in America”, and includes MC Gusto, Master Arson Stab, Dead Mike, and how they went from being Straight Outta LoCash, to be being in Jail, and their rise to the top, and the Senator who wants them to be permanently banned. However, when the real Gusto shows up CB4, could ended up being off the charts. Permanently. The film ended up getting mixed reviews"

Interesting film facts (453 movies items)

"The three songs performed by CB4 are loose remakes of real rap songs. 'Straight Out of Locash' was 'Straight Outta Compton' by N.W.A, 'Sweat of my Balls' was 'Talk Like Sex' by Kool G. Rap & D.J. Polo and 'Rapper's Delight' was originally by the Sugar Hill Gang. The rap group CB4 claim to be from the town of Locash. LoCash is in fact the name of one of the film's screenwriters, Robert LoCash."
