Speaker: 00:00:00

A pimp with a song in his heart.

2

: 00:00:02

Is there any other kind?

3

: 00:00:04

But can DJay get “Whoop That Trick”

onto a demo tape for the world to hear?

4

: 00:00:09

Today on Hip Hop

Movie Club, Hustle and Flow.

5

: 00:00:11

if crack dealers can be successful

rappers, why not a pimp?

6

: 00:00:14

Ice-T was one. So there you go.

7

: 00:00:17

I was going to say

there have been other instances of pimps

8

: 00:00:20

that become rappers

or the two professions cross paths.

9

: 00:00:25

Well, people talk about

I don't know how true it is,

10

: 00:00:27

but they like to think of themselves

as pimps.

11

: 00:00:30

Too $hort was one as well.

12

: 00:00:31

I don't know if he was really a pimp.

13

: 00:00:33

There's mixed

14

: 00:00:33

theories about that or not.

15

: 00:00:35

But yeah, definitely a believable story.

16

: 00:00:37

You get your grind and

17

: 00:00:38

the two can be somewhat related.

18

: 00:00:40

So we want to.

19

: 00:00:40

Transferable skills!

20

: 00:00:41

Yes, exactly.

21

: 00:00:43

The main character is DJay,

played by Terrence Howard, who is the pimp

22

: 00:00:48

who has hustle and adding the flow.

23

: 00:00:50

What would you say

was his most endearing quality?

24

: 00:00:53

What made him who he was?

25

: 00:00:55

BooGie, want to kick us off on that one?

26

: 00:00:57

Sure. I think.

27

: 00:00:59

DJay’s persistent.

28

: 00:01:00

I mean, the guy knows how to,

29

: 00:01:01

quote unquote, hustle.

30

: 00:01:02

He's a survivor.

31

: 00:01:03

He knows how to go out there

and make money.

32

: 00:01:05

He knows how to make those ends meet

33

: 00:01:08

That was a pretty intense scene.

34

: 00:01:10

And he said, I'll do something for you.

35

: 00:01:13

I'll get you in front of the microphone

and have you be part of this.

36

: 00:01:16

That was intense.

37

: 00:01:18

Yeah, to piggyback off

with that scene

38

: 00:01:19

with Nola, man,

I mean, he was trying to calm her down.

39

: 00:01:23

There was one line that she said in

that exchange that really stuck with me.

40

: 00:01:28

She looked at him and she said, D,

I know when you're messing with my head

41

: 00:01:32

because I let you, because sometimes

my head needs to be messed with.

42

: 00:01:35

But right now just don't, okay?

43

: 00:01:37

It's like, wow, it was like that was.

44

: 00:01:39

Very good.

45

: 00:01:40

Because she let him know,

46

: 00:01:41

like, this scene, like you're

not as sharp as you think you are.

47

: 00:01:45

Yeah. Yeah.

48

: 00:01:46

You say things.

49

: 00:01:46

I listen to you,

but I also let things happen.

50

: 00:01:50

Not because of what you said,

but because in my head,

51

: 00:01:53

I'm trying to find a way to escape

what’s going on in reality.

52

: 00:01:57

I was like, Wow. Yeah, He's not so slick.

53

: 00:02:00

Yeah, you

not as slick as you think you are.

54

: 00:02:02

Yeah.

55

: 00:02:04

The actual writing session

that turned into Whoop That Trick.

56

: 00:02:07

As a musician,

I appreciate the process of creating music

57

: 00:02:12

and I really appreciated the DIY

58

: 00:02:14

nature of having a stack of drink holders,

making that the

59

: 00:02:19

the soundproofing and the pantyhose pop

filter - it actually works. So

60

: 00:02:24

audio producers out there

with low budgets, get yourself some

61

: 00:02:27

pantyhose with runs in it.

62

: 00:02:28

And working out the beat on the MPC,

that's real.

63

: 00:02:31

Yeah they let the beat build.

64

: 00:02:35

There was a funny quote that I recorded

65

: 00:02:37

from Key's dialogue.

66

: 00:02:38

Anthony Anderson's

character said There's two types of people

67

: 00:02:41

those that talk the talk

and those that walk the walk.

68

: 00:02:44

People who walk the walk sometimes talk.

69

: 00:02:46

The talk, but most times they don't

talk at all because they walkin’.

70

: 00:02:49

Now, people who talk the talk,

when it comes

71

: 00:02:51

time for them to walk the walk,

you know what they do? They talk.

72

: 00:02:54

They talk. People like me to walk, walk.

73

: 00:02:56

I was just like, What?

74

: 00:02:57

My head was spinning,

but it made a lot of sense.

75

: 00:02:59

It did eventually make sense.

76

: 00:03:01

It did make sense.

77

: 00:03:03

Terrence

Howard was nominated for the Academy Award

78

: 00:03:05

for best actor for his role as DJay.

79

: 00:03:08

And do you remember

80

: 00:03:09

“It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp” won

81

: 00:03:11

one of the awards for Best Song.

82

: 00:03:12

Best Original song.

83

: 00:03:13

Original song, Yeah.

84

: 00:03:14

By Three 6 Mafia, right?

85

: 00:03:16

So ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Ding.

86

: 00:03:21

97

Musical.

98

: 00:03:48

It had

99

: 00:03:49

drama,
