CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com "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 Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsAnother urban hit soundtrack for the summer Derrick Dunn | Woodbridge,VA | 07/13/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Hustle and Flow has been gaining a lot of buzz since it won the audience award at Sundance this year. The movie has been on the top of must see list for a long time and the soundtrack is surprisingly good. Originally Ludacris's DTP label was supposed to distribute the soundtrack, and when I heard this I was looking forward to hearing the club banger Georgia which feat. Ludacris & Field. But with . T.I., Juvenile, 8 Ball and MJG, E-40, Trillville, Boyz N da Hood, Mike Jones, and several others make this a timely and fitting companion to the film. More importantly, in keeping the connection between film and soundtrack as tight as possible, a couple tracks performed by actor Terrence Howard, as Hustle and Flow protagonist DJay, a pimp turned MC are included, along with a handful of dialogue bits. Al Kapone, a Memphis-based rapper asked by director Craig Brewer to write DJay's rhymes, also appears, only adding to the authenticity. While the soundtrack complements the film, a few of the tracks provided by rookies such as Young City outshine the big guns for the top-level tracks. While there isn't a track as strong as the lead single by T.I. the tracks are more memorable than the average cuts granted to a soundtrack." A Good collection of songs... Enlightened | Atlanta Georgia | 07/20/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "The Hustle & Flow soundtrack is a Grand Hustle Presentation. If you are unfamiliar with Grand Hustle, maybe you are more familiar with popular rapper T.I. AKA The King Of The South. And you know just from hearing that name, that the soundtrack would at least have some value to it because T.I. doesn't put out wack products. All the players show up for the soundtrack including T.I., P$C, Eightball & MJG, Al Kapone, Lil Boosie & Webbie, Trina, E-40, Boyz N Da Hood, Mike Jones & Trillville. Terrence Howard, the actor ( the one who's eyeballs fell out his head and jaw dropped to the floor, tongue waggin, drooling at the BET Awards when he was the lucky man of the night receiving treatment from BEYONCE), drops a few songs from the album and they are surprisingly pretty tight and he does a good job considering he's not a real rapper (the songs weren't written by him they are just rapped). There are more than a couple of good songs on this compilation including but not limited to T.I. - I'm A King, Eightball & MJG - Tell Me Why, DJAY (Terrence Howard) - Whoop That Trick, Boyz N Da Hood - Carbon 15's, Webbie - Bad B!tch Young City AKA Chopper from the Band - Lil Daddy, and P$C - Murder Game The soundtrack is very upbeat and riding for sure. This album is straight up beats and rhymes not made for listening to at low volumes on some computer speakers. This is loud, unabashed, crunk music. Hate it or love it...but chances are if you love it then this cd will be right up your alley. 4 stars." One of the summer's best Timothy Bowman | Arizona | 08/07/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Hustle and Flow is one of the best movies i've seen so far, and i would even have to say that it topped 8 mile in a inspirational rap movie. the soundtrack has nothing but high caliber rap artists, that give the movie its due in its prolific line up of songs. with almost everyone from the south gave their shout outs to this album so it more than just a movie soundtrack, its one of the best south albums out there...if you ever have a decision to buy? quit thinking, and start buying...you'll enjoy it from the moment it hits your speakers to the time you'll press eject, believe me..."
