I'm addicted to hip hop but I had never seen this...I watched it..and something about watching it with a clean head gave me the chills..in a good way..I'm clean right now...I'll never forget how this movie inspired me

ITS ONE OF THOSE MOVIES, THAT AFTER U SEE IT, ITS ALMOST LIKE U WANNA GO BACK IN TIME AND SEE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME AGAIN anyone feel way too?

@Seryma86 so how many dollars were spent?? Exactly PLAYED, someone with no power, getting something unobtainable without paying?? Aint a female in the world that could make me play a song i didnt personally endorse on MY radio show, thats wild. And bc he got to bust he wins? 😂 mf has a hand, and hopefully more women around. She got exactly what she needed. He got... head 😮.
That white girl took one for the team. Honestly, that's probably 100% how the music industry is. If you don't know someone, you gotta get in one way or another.
I don't like to mention It but it happens in the bible. Israelite women lay with kings to save their people. It's sad because that's all they think women are good for. I blame God for that shit. Now I know God is a man. They despise smart and independent women.
No one is playing your song because you slept with them. The radio is basically advertising for these labels. They fight for air time for new artists. For the established artists the radio pays them off sponsorship money.
@@bkit5this movie was back in 2005 and even now there are artists who have talked about sleeping with DJs to get played and independent artists who have paid under the table for spins. Trust me, it happens and it’s been happening.
A lot of people don’t understand why Hustle & Flow is such a significant and monumental movie, and why people enjoy it so much. They trivialize it to just some pimp trying to rap, but it’s so much more than that. Throughout the movie, you realize that Djay isn’t necessarily a bad guy. Sure, he’s a dealer and a pimp, which isn’t necessarily ethical, but for the most part, his heart is in the right place, but he falls victim to his environment. When the dude sells him the keyboard, he immediately wants to make sure he didn’t steal it from children. He confides in Shug, opens up to her, is vulnerable, and in a weird dysfunctional way, they fall in love with one another. When he’s in the bathroom with Skinny, he says, “A wild n***a would do some f**ked up stuff to you right now” - basically letting Skinny know, like “Look, I’m just trying to help you pull your pants up, I’m not trying to take advantage of you in any way.” That really shows Djay’s character and his essence. This movie is so much more than a gritty, urban, hood movie. • It’s the authenticity. The connection of having a dream, a desire, a goal that you so desperately want to attain. • It’s the casting and the little sparks of humor throughout the film, like when Djay mistakes Shelby for a Mormon, and how Key says: “No, he’s just light skin.” Or when Nola and Lexus start argumenting on the couch, while Key and Djay are rapping in Yvette’s kitchen. • It’s the way Djay holds on to his father’s watch with such pride, and talks about how the school buses remind him of his father. As people of color - especially in the Black community - we may not have the fanciest material things, like diamonds and pearls, but we have our family, our memories, and our reminders that there’s some beauty in life. • It’s the music and the songs that are so relatable. • It’s the way Djay adamantly says, “Hell no” when Shug accidentally thought he wanted her to leave, or the special moment that she gives him the necklace, or when he passionately kisses her before seeing Skinny. • It’s the way Nola desperately cries and says, “Do you know what I do in the back of them cars.” Or when she says, “I know when you’re messing with my head. And sometimes I let you, because I need my head messed with.” Even if you’ve never sold your body, you can’t help put to have empathy for her. • It’s the heartbreak you feel when Djay picks up the tape in the toilet. • It’s when Djay says that he’s going to lie and tell Keisha that she can be president, because she’s a kid who has a dream. It’s the beautiful way dreams never seem too big or too unattainable to a child.
The movie shows that it’s never to late to change paths. Djay was a bad guy throughout most his life. He was an asshole to people, sold drugs, and was a pimp. He didn’t care about anybody but himself, he wasn’t nice to his friends or the girls he used for pimping. He only decided to do better when he realized he was going to end up on the streets sooner than later, and also realized there are people out there that are far way more dangerous and bad than himself. He wasn’t that tough guy he thought he was. Actions have consequences, and he realized that.
My friends and I sang this for months after this movie first came out And of course I’ve been singing “it’s hard out here for a pimp” since this came out
DJ seems like the type to be unconventional and give them a listen. Giving them the nod or telling them the truth. Especially knowing how he felt when Skinny Black literally shit on his dream.
They really could have made a good trilogy out of this. DJay's rise to starting a rap empire but his ego and ambitions get the best of him and ruin him. A tale as old as time itself.
Damn an amazing ending....awesome movie... she hustled hard to get him his radio play ....cause she did that got him straight ... and she used his game to play...lol
No He was at Stark Industries & was Abduct/Replac - ed By the Skrull's Some-How Escaped (Lost His Memory During the Whole Ordeal) Started Over as a Pimp Started a Rap Career (Married His Botom B!+€#) Which Lead to Him Building an Empire
I die laughing how she dressed like that remember me when my ex husband said something about her and thought that I would wearing something like that to courthouse
Nola went from prostitute to manager she always had the gift of gab… shug went from ex prostitute to singer… light skin went from smoking to producer .. djay pimp/ drug dealer to rapper

@custercarlin2203 I hate to break it to you but that is everywhere on earth. That isn't a trait specific to freaking MEMPHIS TENNESSEE lmao
This is one of the most realistic movies I've seen. Go to any hood in America, and this is exactly how everyone is. Fantastic movie.
that's crazy, you've been to every hood in America? What an interesting life!

Shut up 😂😂😂
Can’t believe William ex C.O. won lawsuits Drug kingpin “Freeway” Rick Ross …took guy name 😅& persona (street rep)
@SanDiego yo! You know whats up. Rick Ross was a CIA asset running the Contras coke. The rapper Rick Ross stole his identity!!!!
For real 😂😂
Nola straight up hustled that DJ 107.1 she a straight ganster
The star of the movie really
Behold the power of the pvssy
Then she gave him head to play it lol

Thank you Memphis Grizzlies for helping me discover this song.
You must be white
The bald headed c.o was inspired so much that he quit his job, gained weight and formed the label Maybac music!

Well that's utterly false...
He's a scumbag
You should've proof read, but pretty decent overall. A-
Thanks for sharing! Yea even though you can see he's trying to find his way, he had to deal with his unethical past which is hard to escape

Watching this and then seeing Taryn playing the role of Karen is wild. She is so underrated as an actress
This shit teared me up...that feeling of finally getting on the radio used to really mean something.
Came here to say this. Wasn’t expecting to tear up watching Hustle & Flow clips but here I am
The beginning of Lucious Lyon!!!!!
Everybody gotta have a dream.
Best hip hop movie of all times. Surpasses Straight Outta Compton
Ole girl he put out on the street hit hard times like that in real life. Wild art imitates life.
Back when movies were still real.
I feel ya
DJ Qualls rocking a black Flag shirt. Years later and just noticed. Fuck yes.
What we need
Hustle and Flow pt .2
Empire lol
@@Lonely-DmoeN was just coming to say that
Not a bad idea actually

They call me big five 0 Now they call me Rozay
ROZAY GOT 60 MILL EAT DAT

He got 60 mil front the diddler, you clown
Shoutout to the mavs for whooping that trick to the suns 🤣🤣👏🏽
This movie a guilty pleasure of mine!!!
My friends and I sang this for months after this movie first came out
And of course I’ve been singing “it’s hard out here for a pimp” since this came out
"This that cat that stomped on skinny with that whoop that trick song"
This movie deserved a sequel, with D-Jay becoming a big rap star, with Luda as his big rival. Could've played it out like Jeezy vs Gucci Mane.
Facts
Facts
Cassette tape that's what got him in jail 🤣
Good thing it wasn't an 8 track 😮
DJ seems like the type to be unconventional and give them a listen. Giving them the nod or telling them the truth. Especially knowing how he felt when Skinny Black literally shit on his dream.
Such a great ending
And now he on that frequency, vibrations and energy swag!
Shout out to Memphis for giving us great music from the first guitar hero Chuck Berry to all the hip hop.
The baby 🤣🤣🤣
Great performances. I was surprised Terrence Howard did not whoop that Oscar...
this scenE Is RICK ROSS.. DONT MISS THAT!
Loved this movie

Every corrections officer run both sides of the law.
Man I really want to check out big 5.0 and block C's tape out
Great ending. THIS is the game. You let a good ho graduate.
Ok pimp I see u

I heard this song in The Cleveland Show!
*She did her shhhh!*
History repeats itself
That white lady deserved all the profit
All ?! That's reaching
She deserved the manager or promotion percentage.
if it wasn't for him there would be no song
Man all white people entitled as fuck
Give it up for Pennsatucky!
Everyone didn’t realize this was Rick Ross Origin Story.
You can't take the language out of a movie like this and still expect it to be as much of a hit
Most underrated movie , damn good movie 👍😎
one of my favorite movie of ALL times mane!
my favorite part is the "Whoop That Trick" line
Still time to make this into a show. First episode is him getting on then carry it from there.

Officer Ricky
This song was written before he ever met skinny black. 😂😂 Who Shot Ya, mayne.
I hate to play devils advocate, but now you’re understanding why a lot of athletes married these type of women.
This is your answer .😊
Am I wrong to want a part 2 just to see
Nola got a little scooter on her
