But we are, as you already heard, we're talking about Hustle & Flow, a gritty drama set in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, that follows a small-time hustler and pimp named DJ that is struggling to break out of his cycle of street life.
And DJ decides to pursue a rap career, pouring his experiences, frustrations, and ambition into music.
With the help of an old acquaintance and a small group of allies, DJ works to record a demo that might change his life.
The film explores themes of redemption, ambition, and self-expression, all set against the backdrop of Southern hip-hop.
And Hustle & Flow was written and directed by Craig Brewer, who you know from Song Sung Blue, the Footloose remake that should have never happened, and the upcoming Snoop Dogg biopic.
Yeah, they just casted the guy who's playing Snoop Dogg, but I don't remember who it is.
Why? And then Hustle & Flow stars Terrence Howard as DJ, Anthony Anderson from the Barbershop movies, DJ Qualls from Road Trip, Taraji P.
Henson, Taron Manning, Ludacris, and sweaty balls himself, sweaty chocolate balls himself, Isaac Hayes.
