![]() ![]() You can read the movie review to get a feel for Howard's performance as the pimp-turned-rapper but the self-trained keyboardist and Chemical Engineer performs all of his own raps in both the movie and the soundtrack. Also, it's an interesting twist that Terence Howard, as Djay, performs three songs in the movie and those same songs show up on the CD, unedited in all of their glory. ![]() Many of Djay's best lines are delivered out of the order in which they occured in the movie but it works well on the CD. The dialogue excerpts and skits from the movie are some of the brightest spots of the CD as you give it a straight listen through. A version of this story is going on right now all across the country and many of the artists on the soundtrack have lived, are living or know a hell of a lot about the struggle of Terence Howard's character, Djay, in Hustle & Flow. The movie is about a pimp hanging onto the bottom rung as he stays half a step out of poverty while trying to make his big score in the hip hop music game. Checking out the movie Hustle & Flow should almost be required before throwing in the CD that's "from and inspired by" the film.
