Take Flashdance, replace the female construction worker/stripper lead character with a male loser-pimp (loser even by bowery street standards) whose portrayal was nominated for an Oscar. Then remove the dancing & put in rappin' instead. Replace the implausibility of the plot with a straight forward script that holds no punches & booyah....there you have it. A hard-nosed "makin' your dreams come ... read more

Since I kept hearing many good things about this flick, I was quite curious and I really wanted to check it out. To be honest, I was at first rather skeptical about the whole thing because, in my opinion, being a pimp must be of one the worst jobs either but you have to give some credits to the people involved in this movie as they still managed to make me sorry for the poor bastard. Furthermore, ... read more

It owes much to the 70s black underground cinema. The cinema that produced films like Foxy Brown or Shaft, Hustle & Flow is the spiritual child to the Blaxploitation genre. And beyond that, it’s a tale of the liberating power of music, a grassroots story of a man taking every intense feeling he has in his life and filtering into one song. It’s a shame that this came out in 2005, an incredibly ... read more

"First viewing - July 19th I've been wanting to watch Hustle & Flow for at least 10 years, but it's been tough to track down on streaming services. AMC's On Demand service has it right now for $3.99, however, so I ponied up the money to finally watch it. Turns out I should've just spent the $9.99 to own it. Next time I come across a physical copy I'll pick it up. I can't think of a single thing I took issue with, and the only thing missing was that perfect 10 feeling."
