Editorial Review:
"Everybody wanna be the king of the South" rhymes the P$C crew (featuring T.I. and Lil Scrappy), kicking off the Hustle & Flow soundtrack with the amped-up "I'm A King" remix. This film, about a Memphis hustler trying to become a respected rapper, won the Audience Award at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, and appropriately, the soundtrack has the hottest dirty South (a.k.a. crunk) songs around. Lead actor Terrence Howard is a double-threat, not just playing up-and-coming rapper DJay, but also performing on a number of tracks in character. From the blacksploitation-affected "It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp" to the equally ('70s-esque title track, his contributions are respectable, but not nearly as pumped-up and crunked-out as the disc's standout tracks. Although the CD is rap-heavy, there are some great moments on the R&B front as well, including Eightball & M.J.G.'s lost-love track "Tell Me Why," and the disc highlight, "Still Tippin'", a Mike Jones/Nicole Wray remix that brings sweet Tweet-like grooves to the collection. Some of the CD's other contributors include Juvenile (who is typically clever in "Booty Language") and Webbie, who battles with Trina on "Bad B**ch Remix". Moms and dads should be forewarned, however, that there is nothing subtle about the lyrics on this disc: true to crunk, every imaginable expletive is crammed into these 20 songs and sound bytes, along with a hefty dose of gang-style posturing. For the under-18 set, best reach for the clean version. --Denise Sheppard

Hustlers With Flow 
2007-04-03 - The original soundtrack for the Memphis' film Hustle & Flow begins with "I'm A King (Remix)" by PSC featuring T.I. & Lil Scrappy fit perfectly for the movie's subject. For the ride Lil' Boosie & Webbie represented well on "Swerve". The Oscar winning song "It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp" produced by Memphis own DJ Paul & Juicy J of Three 6 Mafia and performed by actor Terrence Howard (DJay) featuring Shug carried the album and movie with a heartfelt performance of the street life. Another famous act from Memphis, 8Ball & MJG stuck to their formula with "Tell Me Why". If no one understood the style 'crunk', "Whoop That Trick" by Djay epitomize the term. With the looping chant throughout the song, "...you do wanna do that..." on "Man Up" by Trillville gets the adrenaline flowing for another rush, but was held down with lack luster lyrical content. "Carbon 15's, A.K.'s & Mac 11's" performed by Boyz N Da Hood is a three verse shot that was followed by "Lil' Daddy" from Young City (Chopper) with contents such as "...I done walked for that cheesecake, now I got cheesecake oh yeah..." for a complete song. Djay stepped up for the third time for the title track, "Hustle and Flow (It Ain't Over)" with a pimp instrumentation and vocals to "...keep hustlin'..." "Still Tippin' (It's A Man's World Remix)" could not have been any better because no matter who remade the original it would still be good. This version was performed by Mike Jones featuring Nicole Wray, but it should have been the other way around. PSC's "Murder Game" without their leader T.I. was still worthy of recognition. There are others on here that decent enough to listen to, but are simply mediocre. Okay, honestly how did an actor out perform some of the artist on this soundtrack? Maybe it would have been more complete if Djay (Terrence Howard) had performed the entire soundtrack himself. For the most part Hustle & Flow flows well for the hustlers!
Hustle & Flow is a great album
2007-03-22 - I love this album. Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson did their thing. And it has a lot of other good songs. My favs are: I'm a king remix(P$C), It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp(Terrence Howard), Tell Me Why(MJG), P***y N***az(E-40),Whoop That Trick(Terrence Howard),Bad B**ch Remix (Webbie&Trina), and Still Tippin' (It's A Man's World Remix)-(Mike Jones & Nicole Wray). It was worth the money. Watching the movie makes you want the album to go along with it.
Best rap album I've bought in a while
2007-01-23 - This CD is worth it just to hear Terrence Howard on "Whoop that Trick" (credited as Djay). The surprise is that there are at 4 or 5 other great tracks, and the rest are decent.
Just as bad as the movie 
2007-01-22 - The movie sucked and the soundtrack follows suit. There are about two songs that are worth mentioning. T.I's Im A King feat Big Kuntry and Lil Scrappy and the very goofy but catchy Booty Language by Juvenile, Wacko and Skip. The rest of this album is filler. I dont know why they decided to put Terrence Howard's character's songs from the movie on the soundtrack but I can honestly tell you that they suck. Whoop That Trick, It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp(this song won an award?) and Hustle and Flow(It Aint Over) are about as dull as Djay's character. Even 8-Ball and MJG drop the ball on Tell Me Why. T.I had the only verse worth talking about on Murda Game with P$C and Carbon 15's A.K.'s Mac 11's by Boyz N Da Hood sounds like leftover that was left off of their first album for a reason. In short the soundtrack stinks and is not worth your money. Its just as weak as the movie was.
