Fun fact: in the church scene Terrence Howard tearing up was not scripted. It was just that beautiful.

Fun fact: The neighbors that Terrence gave the weed too to turn down their music are three 6 mafia, they wrote every song for this movie and won an Oscar for the soundtrack.

Taraji is the best part of any movie she's in. So pretty, and an incredible talent.

You should check out the movie “Four Brothers” as well. It’s a loaded cast with Terrence, Tyrese, Andre 3000 and Mark Wahlberg. Not a blockbuster but still a great movie

Fun facts bout this movie for you MJ: the song Whoop That Trick was originally made by the rapper Al Kapone and Lil Jon and Hard Out Here For a Pimp was made by memphis rap group Three Six Mafia who won a grammy for the song as well.

I remember after watching the first episode of Empire, I had to come back and watch a few scenes just for Taraji and Terrence

"Hard out here for a pimp" won a Oscar...the first for hip-hop

When i was still back home in N.Y. i saw Terrence Howard while i was looking for a job when i finished talking to the Manager on my way out he even said "Good Luck" until this day being acknowledged by this man meant the 🌎 to me i've been watching him since "Dead Presidents"(1995) he's a great actor and you should check him out in "Four Brothers"(2005) also.

The fact that my stepdad is in this movie & I didn’t notice until a couple of years ago when my mom & him pointed it out. I’ve been watching this since I was 7. 😂😂😂😂 Amazing reaction as always MJ ❤💙

MJ went from calling this a basic movie to a 10/10 😂 I swear your reactions be having me dying lol and you’re super authentic (crazy beautiful❤) I love how you always speak your mind about how you feel. Btw that song by Three Six Mafia “hard out here for a pimp” won a Oscar and it was the first hip hop group to do it.

This movie always hit home for me. Definitely with me being from Memphis,TN & wanting to be a Producer/Artist. Love this reaction MJ 💙.

The fact the tape was hanging out the cassette implies Skinny ruined the tape BEFORE he threw it in the toilet

Beat and song so legendary for “Whoop Dat Trick” they play it in football and basketball arenas and got fans of all ethnicities saying it

MANE that's that memphis lingo 😅Gotta love our accent

26:30 DJ Paul from 3 6 mafia 33:56 Juicy J

Taryn Manning is awesome in this movie. She's dope in everything to be fair.

Never clicked so fast to a reaction in my whole life until I saw you was gonna react to one of my favorite movies Hustle & Flow. I really enjoyed your reaction! And yes skinny black threw that tape in the toilet on purpose. This movie basically made Terrence Howard a even bigger star. For this role he was nominated for a Oscar for Best Actor. The highlight of the Academy Awards was when 3 Six Mafia won the Oscar for best original song "Hard Out Here for a Pimp" which they wrote. The Academy Awards are not known for picking rap songs to win so when they won it was definitely a shock and a exciting moment at the time.

lol.. 😂🤣7:28 He's a Pimp so his role is management of the money, clients and protection.

This movie is dope and great soundtrack

I just realized this is basically a movie about Sugar Free 😂. Didn't dude marry his bottom bih? Nah but he had his hz singing on his tracks too. I think this movie won an Oscar, too.

The movie was set in and shot in Memphis, Tennessee (my hometown) that explains their country accent 😂 and it’s a classic because of how authentic it is to Memphis culture

this could of had a sequel showing DJ getting out and now being a hot rapper and all the things he do to adjust to being a rapper now.

I used to be obsessed with this movie back in high school but not anymore. I still like it but don’t really love it all that much because there are so many disrespectful moments that get on my nerves like with Ludacris character Skinny Black. Terrence Howard and Anthony Anderson are both awesome actors from Big momma’s house and Anthony from Barbershop.

Great reaction MJ ❤ Skinny definitely didn’t let that cassette fall in the toilet, it had the tape pulled out

MJ I LOVE your reaction to this (It was so real, empathetic, very genuine - "You understand what was in that man's heart"). This film always hits a note in me, no matter how many times I watch it. "A true classic."

Checkout the movie "Colors" Everyone in that movie are movie stars and half became MEGA STARS. This movie alone is the reason they DONT mention "real" gangs in gang movies or cop shows. Everyone wears Black. I heard some movie theaters had Riots!!

Mid life crisis usually happens around 40’s and up to 60

The White Girl is known for the Tv Show Orange is The New Black but of course she’s in so many other Movies

38:09 it didn’t just fall in the toilet because if you look at the tape the thing was ripped out so no one can take it out the toilet and try to listen to it. Skinny did it on purpose 100%.

i like to think hustle and flow and Empire play are somehow connected lol

In the beginning in the bar scene the oldan is Isaac Hayes he is a music artist and chef from south lark

I wish Empire would return with our final 2 episodes that was supposed to back in 2020 in the final season/Season 6. And, they never needed to cancel Star, too. Star was another hit show on FOX.

Low key classic 🔑 very underrated movie 🔥 🎥 🍿

This is one of, if not the best performances by Terrance Howard. He movie had great music, great acting, and great writing.

Loving your reaction selections! Keep it up MJ

hey this is a american drama film movie and is great i watch this long time ago and terrence howard look like he deserve to get nominated for playing this role him and taraji p henson

I have this movie on Blu Ray somewhere in my house. Me and my friend kept singing that "whoop that trick" song back in the day haha. Oh, snap! Mo Money was on the poll haha. That's a good one too. The Wayans bros are funny and Stacey Dash was bae.

Terrence Howard and Taraji P Henson are best friends. They're good together in Four Brothers movie, Hustle And Flow movie and Empire tv show.

Fun fact.....In EMPIRE, Terrance Howard and the guy who played his son Jamal in the show ..they did a song together and Terrance actually said "Whoop That Trick" LMFAO

I died after MJ turned to the camera and said "this shit is ass" when terrence was tryna spit. Was thinking the same thing 🤣😂

U being a Spanish girl from the hood ain’t no way half these movies u reviewed u ain’t see yet there’s no way, i meant i get the concept of you channel but saying u seeing some of these for the first time is crazy

You did it this morning, girl! Good bounce-back movie! I'm not rocking with Martin in drag...

I can't believe Terence Howard only made 12000 from this movie

Keep hustling keep flowing 🔥🎶🎤

Glad you did this😊 Happy 2024🎇

Taraji p, broke me in "Hidden Figures", had my eyes leaking

That accent all down through the south.. I've lived in Mississippi my whole life. Everybody talk like that. White folks, black folks and everybody else. I know a Chinese dude who sound just like DJ.. 😂😂😂

Everyone needs a Shug in their life. Not every girl will get you a lava lamp.

Thanks MJ. Always coming thur. Always enjoy your reactions. Big YES!!! Its hard out there for a pimp. Won a soundtrack OSCAR. 365 Mafia. The first rap qroup to win one.

11:00 first time I seen him was in Romeo must die - Jet Li

Fun Fact: Terrence Howard played as Jackie Jackson on The Jacksons The American Dream. So he has singing rep!

I meet all of them I was there when they was filming here in my city Memphis 😅

Not mj bringing the ice out for this reaction

Thank you... you are the only other person besides me who noticed this.. in 20 years 😂😂 ... I thought he figured it out and was gonna flip but he went in a kissed her 🤦🏾‍♂️

I remember when this first dropped my pops went and got a Jheri curl 😂😭😭😭

This has been one of my favorite movies since it came out still have to watch it once a year me and all my friends when we drink always have to play whoop that trick

Really good movie great soundtrack

Empire was based after the event of this movie

WHOOP DAT TRICK!!!

26:30 its dj Paul from THREE6MAFIA

Iced out MJ❄️❄️❄️❄️

It’s hard out here for a pimp. Love this film

Mj looking good 😅😊

She was crying when they lady and her baby were thrown out because she was the one basically raising the lil boy she took care of him love.

I love the way you talk. You be true to you sweerheart! You are black to me. Your ancestors are the same as mine. You are just mixed with a little spanish! Some people hate because there lives are so hurt and feel with pain. Like Pac said in his song 'baby dont cry'. They win when your soul dies! Let your light shine! Beautiful little Sister!😊

I love this movie Terrence Howard said on the Joe Rogan podcast that he only made $5,000 for this movie I love that the guy that plays chef is in this too from South Park

i cant wait for shottas or 4 brothers she gon cry every classic

I was looking for this Yesterday and it popped up Today 👍🏾

Immortal Technique said he wrote "Revolutionary Vol 1" in prison, and when he got out and recorded it he said all the flows sounded the same because he was rehearsing his rhymes without a beat: Early 2000s. Nowadays people be recording audio & video from behind bars

I love your reactions you're emotional expressions are adorable and make me feel like im watching these movies for the first time again😁😁...if you get a chance could you react to "American Me" please? Its kinda like a more gritty and serious "Blood In Blood Out" and more historically accurate anout the California Prison systems. I think youll enjoy it😁😁🫠🫠

They in Memphis I believe

Love this movie

& then EMPIRE was born lol you would love empire. Staring both of them MARRIED

You know it's hard out here for a pimp.

The Fact That Skinny Black Really Thought He Brought DJ Down By Throwing Away His Tape 😂 And By The End DJ Still Wins With People Hearing Him On The Radio

One of your best reactions ✌️

Hell na that tape aint fall lol he shreddred the tape out

You should listen to the soundtrack. All the songs they made in the movie are on there. And they sound really good. Give it a listen

That was dj Paul from three six mafia that answered the door

Happy New Year 🎈🎊 MJ

I've been really impressed with your reactions. I like how articulate, emotional and informative. To be as young as you are it really impressive. I believe you are destine for so much more. You should look into being a Tv personality, like sports commentor, talk show host, News reporter. Thats your gifts, you are very warm and engaging personality. Everybody has gifts. Some sing, some acting, some play sports and you are a very beautiful young lady. I think when the time is right you will be a great mother and wife. Im 54 but you remind me of someone from my generation. Which was GenerationX, i went school before there were computers and cellphones. We had to go to the library and do research and investigate and read. You should read and research things for yourself. What ever your interested in or about! Dont feel bad about movies that were around before you were born. There was music and movies around before i was born. We all continue to grow and expand our knowledge. Im sure you know more things now than when you were a kid. We all grow and turn into adults. With age comes wisdow. Your parents and grandparents were kids at one point in there lives. You continue to inspire and grow. Thats the God in you. We all have a piece of god in us! When i can i will support your pateron channel! Continue to keep your head to the sky! Thats a old saying and Earth, Wind and Fire Song. I grew up on old 70's songs. I love old hip hop. When it inspired and had something to say. The only younger rappers i listen to is like J. Cole, Kendrick lamar, Joey Badass. I grew up on Krs-one, Public enemy, Eric B & Rakim, LL cool J, Big Daddy Kane, Queen Latifah, Mc Lyte, A tribe called Quest, 2Pac, Nas, Biggie, Jay Z to name a few. Inspire to be like those who motivate and inspire. Dont follow those who try to tear down and harm!

Love ur reactions homegirl💙🙏🏽

This reaction 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥

Three six Mafia made the beats fraysor boy wrote the lyrics both from MEMPHIS

Loved this movie. Love Taraji. Great reaction. The songs in the movie were 🔥 🔥 🔥 too!! The soundtrack go! Even the other songs not performed by DJay. Lol.

Your necklace is so ICY ❄️ 🧊

check out "the big lebowski" & "tropic thunder" one of the funniest movies ever

This feel like Memphis mo n mo I watch it. Thanks three six mafia.

My movie frfr 💯

Abra in the intro 😂

I’m digging your channel mayne

The blonde hair girl with the braids was in 8 mile B Rabbits ex

This mf a classicccccc

The person who made this movie really loves Memphis and wanted to put as much as he could find authentic Memphis in it, except Elvis because he already gets a lot of attention.

Great work and reaction MJ the tape in the toilet is one of the realest scenes as it can get sorry MJ I know as much as you wanted to believe that tape accidentally fell out a wasted Skinny admitted to destroying the tape after DJ asked him twice. I can try to sort everything out but the second DJ lost his temper and put fists to face that was battery. Then skinny tried to pull his gun DJ took it from him and continue to beat him. When I-20 walked into the bathroom and saw what was happening he pulled his gun out and tried to shoot DJ but DJ was quicker on the trigger using Skinnys gun and shot him near the shoulder and used him as a shield to get out of there. Even though he use that gun in self-defense that would be assault with a deadly weapon. Everyone at the club who was involved in the shootout should have been charged but since skinny black had a big entourage all fingers pointed to DJ and they came and arrested him. We don't know who DJ's lawyer was but DJ was fortunate he only had to serve a little under a year because if that bullet wound was fatal DJ would have been charged with second-degree murder and would have been doing 20 to life. Oh eah you mentioned the southern accent and slang the setting was in Memphis,TN.

They record over their phone calls, Pooh Shiesty just dropped another freestyle over the phone on Apple Music

That’s a Grammy yo

Love this movie!
