Chris Rock, who is set to release his next movie "I Think I Love My Wife" is talking Hip-Hop. Recently, he shared his thoughts on NWA's influence. Now, Mr. CB4 is touching on some of the most influential Hip-Hop groups of all time, and he's also shedding light on his movie.

"The first concert I ever went to was Run-DMC,"
he told MTV. "My Run-DMC concert was probably my most 'Ooh, I'm gonna be in show business' moment of my life. Run-DMC at the Nassau Coliseum [in Uniondale, New York]. I was sitting over the crowd, I had kinda a bad seat, but it was a good seat because I didn't get robbed. Run and DMC were incredible. But when I saw N.W.A, probably my life was never the same. It made me realize I could say absolutely anything I wanted to say. N.W.A in San Diego. They were the opening act for LL Cool J and they absolutely blew him off the stage. I love rap music."

On his film...
"I think I'm funniest as a real guy...That's the discovery I made through this movie I like playing a grown-up. I think most guys play guys who won't grow up. This is a grown-up movie. It's a movie about a guy who might f--- somebody else. Not roses and ... he's thinking about f---ing around."
 
"It's like my standup...Some jokes you love, some jokes you're like, 'F--- him.' I wanted that type of movie experience. I wanted people arguing. There's things in there that didn't test well that I kept in because I thought it was a better movie. It's jokes and departures from reality, but the movie is based in reality."

On future endeavors...
"I'm working out, so I may go on tour. I'm doing research. Here's what I'm probably gonna do if I can raise the money: I want to do a documentary on the Bronner Bros. Hair Show in Atlanta," he said of the long-running hair competition. "That's what I been thinking about. It's bigger than the Super Bowl and it's nothing but hairdressers. I'm not making fun of anybody. It's very entrepreneurial; there's something real interesting about these people. There'll be some humor in it, but I won't be making fun of anybody."

He's also working on Madagascar 2, and the Bee Movie with Jerry Seinfeld.
 
I Think I Love My Wife opens tonight.
