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
