Storia
Hustle and Flow follows DJay (Terrence Howard), a Memphis pimp who dreams of becoming a hip-hop artist. When his prostitute girlfriend Nola (Taraji P. Henson) becomes pregnant, she decides to leave her life behind and move to California with her new boyfriend. This prompts DJay to reevaluate his lifestyle and pursue his musical ambitions as a way out of the pimp game. He partners with a struggling musician named Key (Anthony Mackie) and they record an album together. The process is challenging, but ultimately rewarding as it allows DJay to confront his past mistakes and express his emotions through music.
