If Rocky was a rapper, pimp and drug dealer. Love this scene, especially Shug's reaction when she hears how beautiful her voice is and, gets the spark that maybe her life's not hopeless after all, really hits me. I'm not a rap music fan but I love this movie and this tune.
The fact he was so dedicated and chose to write his own lyrics while working with 36 mafia made this movie even more greater they literally owned the Oscar
Not going to lie this is definitely the foundation of Empire. Terrence killed this roll. Me during 2020 and all the madness - I done seen some crazy thangs in these streets -
Seriously one of my favorite movies. Seen it so many times. Still bawl like a baby at the church scene where the choir lady sings. Like. A. Baby Every time. If you haven't seen it... see it!
Man when Katrina came this is all me and my brother watched and found comfort in until services were restored to the city we was at ground zero and only had a generator for power for 2 weeks in New Orleans, I will forever love this movie😇...
My bad if this is a stupid question but does empire actually have anything to do with hustle and flow? Ain't seen empire but I know taraji and Terence are in it
I'm a middle aged white guy that grew up on 80s hair bands and for a rapp song I have to say I like this song some young guys had this song on and I came in and started singing it an it blew their minds

As an artist , I remember the first time I heard my voice on something I SNAPPED on and had the same reaction. If you never recorded before , that is a feeling of pure confidence straight through your body
That process... that magic of making a beat from nothing and creating... then adding ideas... then words to those ideas and making a song.... from nothing.... no better feeling in the world.
This is honestly the best cast that they could’ve picked. They all mesh so well together, and each person portrays their character perfectly
Foreall no lie lol
"But I gotta keep my game tight like Kobe on game night"
RIP black mamba
That line is fire 🔥
I love bro
today on this day , makes it the O4th anniversary.
O4 yrs ago , RIP. 🙏🏽 🩵
Hell yeah i felt that all the way in Chicago
😢🫶🏽👏🏽💜💛🏀🏆🕊️
When Sug hears her voice for the first time it brings a tear to my eye. It definitely empowered her!
Absolutely. Taraji Henson crushes it as Sug.
Really good movie.. Lowkey
It's pretty crazy how your voice sounds so much different to yourself in your head versus recorded and played back to you.
I love it!
Me too. Great reaction shot.
0:15 that reaction when she hears her own voice - Priceless
So freaking genuine feeling. Almost hurts.
Chills... That brand new feeling she had at that moment, changed her life
She is a beautiful woman
There actually is a price on it because its a fake reaction. It's a movie.
@@ofir20503 damn took a genuine comment and shot that mf twice in the face lol Your a cold mf my guy lmfao
That was exceptional acting by Taraji. I’ve seen this scene a million times and I feel Sug’s realization of her self worth every time
She had a beautiful soul
She would never ever work with a thug like Sug. She has self respect.
It actually brings tears to my eyes when Shug hears a voice played back for the first time!
Honestly me too ❤
This song is a true demonstration of creative genius of Three 6 Mafia.
not gonna lie if Terrence Howard would drop a cd I would probably buy that shit
He has: itunes.apple.com/us/album/shine-through-it/id287848035.
he did some bluegrass shit, 3-6 offered to do a CD for him
Who the hell listens to bluegrass? Lol!
Actually, I do. I loves me some bluegrass.
winogirlll Me.

this is why Terrence wouldn't act empire without cookie you know they were meant together for the roles
lol girl bye
jk
Actually she wouldn't work without him
it was actually the other way around, she demanded production for him to be Lucious
Pimpin from another multiverse 😅
The fact he was so dedicated and chose to write his own lyrics while working with 36 mafia made this movie even more greater they literally owned the Oscar
Too bad Paramount Pictures owns it and gets Royalties checks for it
I never knew he wrote his own lyrics!
He never wrote his own lyrics
@@yb3505he said it in his interview pretty sure
The beginning of EMPIRE ... Cookie & Lucius Lyons.. Awesome movie!!!
Walker, Cookie and Lucious Walker lol

Actually apperently taja p Henderson was offered the role of cookie and said she wouldn’t do it unless they cast Terrance as lucious
One of the most deserving Best Original Song Oscar wins in history
Yesssss
Lol
Seriously one of my favorite movies. Seen it so many times. Still bawl like a baby at the church scene where the choir lady sings.
Like. A. Baby
Every time.
If you haven't seen it... see it!
Great scene, I love how cookie realized they had made magic
is THAT what this is? LOL
jen vel no this is from hustle & flow
Sameer Love I was asking about the "magic". I didn't see any.
j v you're tripping. Everything about the track is great
MrBrational I love cabbage so....
This scene still gives me the chills. Fantastic movie.
This is like the back story for Empire
Except that it's NOT.
@@TheVeek192 that’s why he said “LIKE”
That how Empire Begin Bruh
Terrence Howard is outstanding.
Anchal Kumar favorite actor
Wasn't he in the first Iron Man?
And very attractive!
If only he was married to a black woman
@@tristanheckler2568 Yeah
I really love Taraji Henson's character. She tore it up and stole the show for me in this one. lol As well as Terrence of course.
It's hard out here for a physicist
It's hard out here for a Terryologist.
It's hard out here for a Webmaster
Man when Katrina came this is all me and my brother watched and found comfort in until services were restored to the city we was at ground zero and only had a generator for power for 2 weeks in New Orleans, I will forever love this movie😇...
Minutes from 2024, and this banger hits my mind. Wherever and whomever you are, make it fkin count or just go to sleep 🔊🎶
I love this movie the connection between , Terrence, Taraji, Anthony, Taryn, Dj is amazing I'm glad I was a 19 girl when this came out

Everytime I watch the new empire show. I think of this song.
I do too
her reaction never gets old.
Empire- the beginning
oh hell yes
My bad if this is a stupid question but does empire actually have anything to do with hustle and flow? Ain't seen empire but I know taraji and Terence are in it
Spiritual prequel. Shug (Cookie). Life in the ghetto
winogirlll/ I thought the same
Mirrorcob Films fundhyr
This movie is an underrated classic...
Shugs face was priceless when she heard her own voice
A+++ she KILLED this scene
One of the best movies ever
All before Empire, anyone agree?

Thats actually her singing it, and she played the actor. Talent in these young sisters is awe bearing....
The chemistry in this movie made this ish gold 🔥

1:14 me listening to this song
When I first seen this movie before it came out, the energy was unspeakable 😊
ah, :15 in...makes me tear up every time. Only one of many reasons why she is one of my favorite actors.
+Ahntara123 You mean actresses.
No, I meant actor. That word applies to both genders who act.
Ahntara123 Oh OK sorry.
Damn, I love this movie. And double damn, Terrence Howard is a hell of an actor.
“Like Kobe on game night.” DAMN STRAIGHT. Damn I miss those nights.
This scene is fire, but as a engineer you need to let him finish the track and worst come to worst you do it again, but this flow is legendary
I LOVE THIS SONG! THIS BEAT GO HARD AS SANDPAPER!
This is why Southern hip hop rules the charts ❤️🔥❤️🔥 .. Memphis indeed was put on the map 🗾🗺️
should've known pennsatucky was involved with the pimp game
I love Terrance and Taraji. This was a good cast pick , All of them.

It’s a shame none of this soundtrack is on Apple Music, I’d still be bumping it to this day.
And this song rightfully won an Oscar
Loved this movie and in 2024 it's so true.
It's hard out here for hydrogen's tone frequency sound
One of his best performances ever. Hustle and Flow
Who's here 2024

I thought the lyric was "it's HOT out here for a pimp." And I was like, duh you got those big fur coats on you goofballs!

Same here
"It's Hut out here for a pimp" is how pimps put in a vote for Pizza Hut for lunch
That's how I always quote it!

pennsatucky was in this wtf
Haha yup
This role was better for her... She was a confused as girl in this thinking that she can make moves like Dee
That process... that magic of making a beat from nothing and creating... then adding ideas... then words to those ideas and making a song.... from nothing.... no better feeling in the world.
