"Though DJay, a streetwise Memphis pimp, has always had a way with words, that gift has long been misused; this philosopher-hustler lives a dead-end life at the fringes of society. Still, DJay wonders what happened to all the big dreams he had for his life. A chance encounter with an old friend, Key, a sound engineer who has always wanted to make it in the music business, spurs DJay: if he's ever going to make his mark, it has to happen now. He begins to write down his freestyle raps - his flow - and the two team up with Shelby, a church musician with a beat machine, to lay down bass-thumping crunk tracks. DJay's metamorphosis affects his entire house, as the women in his life - Shug and Nola - find ways to contribute to the creative process. With the impending visit to Memphis of hometown platinum-selling rapper Skinny Black, DJay has to make one last hustle if he's ever going to flow."

Has anyone seen this movie? Taraji P. Henson's in it, but I don't know if it's a good movie or not. Hmm....maybe I'll check it out when it comes on DVD. I don't even know if she has a big part in the movie or not.

I feel kinda bad considering the movie was filmed here and I still have not seen it but I really want to. I think Taraji plays a pretty big part in the movie but I'm not sure. She did sing in one of the songs from the movie though. Everyone says its good.

I havent seen it but I want to. Every time the preview comes on tv I feel so proud. lol. I'm glad she's doing all these things and making a name for herself. And to think we all knew who she was before she really started making it big...
