  • i have no pulse then :/

  • this is my favourite scene out of the whole film, not even a fan of opera but fuckin ell dis womans voice is amazin

  • this is just beautiful

  • Just great! ^^

  • In one of Maya Angelou's books she describes a scene from her real life while traveling with a dramatic troupe in Europe. On the train some of them were singing and she used these words to describe the voices "it was like hot silver being poured from a high place" ... this is exactly what this song reminds me of! Beauitful!

  • I'd seen this movie before but it has been on my mind for some reason.

    I checked out this clip, decided to rent the DVD, after I returned the video I came back and watched this and other clips over and over until I just decided to buy the DVD on Amazon.

    Now I own the DVD but still like to watch these clips on YouTube.

    Online sharing can be a good thing for the studios.

    IF they produce work worth paying for, we the consumer will be compelled to buy it!

  • @papermermaid this song is a old negro hymnal about when the blacks were slaves and how they submitted to servitude to not get beaten or killed and how Jesus and faith told them not to let that happen. To keep the fight no matter what. In the movie, this is what DJay feels. No matter what...keep the fight, and let no one tear you down.

  • I guess it is because I am a student of music that I do not like this work. i tried to, but I don't understand it. Someone explain it to me so I can understand the context.

  • @papermermaid what i got from it was..even though he was a pimp...by choice...there comes a time when we all think, remember, our pasts and hurts..even though that wasn't said in the movie....so if jesus changed his name...literally but to be taken metaphorically...he would be different or a better person

  • @TammyKish

    That sounds reasonable. Thank you for telling me. Have a wonderful Christmas!

  • @papermermaid what does you, being a student of music have to do with anything when it's beautiful music?you simply don't like Jesus, and are trying to bait someone into your false concepts of how Christianity was used to suppress blacks.facts are, the slaves were forbidden to read the Bible especially, because the slavers knew that it was all about freedom and liberty, serving God and not man, condemning of oppression and menstealing,etc. The slaves knew this and used it for their liberation.

  • @Ruddermanspeaks

    1. I listen and study music as required to perform well. I'm a violinist, so it would stand to reason that I have listened to amazing music. 2. Atheists can make and be moved by mythological music all of the time. Mozart had some beautiful music is is based around Israeli mythology (Lacrimosa), Beethoven ode to joy ...the list continues. 3. Just a literature point - It seems you have never read the bible. Christian mythology and superstition is still killing around the world.

  • @Ruddermanspeaks

    They used the bible to justify slavery. The bible tells you haw to beat your slave and how to teat them. The new testament even instructs slaves the 'Listen to their master'. You really need to brush up on your mythology. I was sent here by a friend because she is a singer and thought I would like this song. I didn/t understand it. That/s all. Mythological work can still be good work, no matter how wrong the superstition is.

  • @papermermaid again, there was nothing to "not understand". the devil in you is revolted at the mention of that worthy Name. What a tired, old, nonsensical claim that the Bible promotes slavery. These were either indentured servants who sold themselves as property of captives of the the heathen nations, in the old covenant, who were to happy they were not killed, yet bore the judgement of slavery which was a mercy unto them. they were commanded to be freed with money every 7 years.

  • @Ruddermanspeaks

    I am not revolted by Jesus as much as I am revolted by fairies, unicorns, and mermaids. He is just mythology.

    I love a lot of mythological music. Most of classical music is based on the christian myth. I absolutely love classical music. I love christian mythological art work. The Sistine Chapel. I would love to look at the Vatican, and in the same respect I would love to see the Parthenon, or the pyramids

    Note: Slavery is never mercy. Rape is never mercy. Murder is not mercy

  • @papermermaid so, at best they were to have seven years of godly influence and then released in a better state. this is not at all to rightly justify the kidnapping and or oppression of men, forbidden in the Bible. only when the children of Israel (who were in a theocracy, guided by the Lord Himself), were commanded to be the hand of the Lord, in judgment, to kill or enslave, was it right to do so. the avaricious imperialistic conquest of the European fake Christians had no Biblical backing.

  • @Ruddermanspeaks

    Godly influence? It was slavery! Sexual slavery was written in the bible as okay. The bible gave instructions on how to enslave and rape virgins, girls (to pay for debt), and other people. Slavery, rape, and genocide were okay , that is because it was okay back when this book was written. Since then our morality has evolved enough so that we know that it isn't okay to rape as a war measure, or to enslave our daughters into sexual servitude to pay our debts. Use your reason.

  • @Ruddermanspeaks

    Slavery was never forbidden in the bible. Moses enslaved the people of the land he was leading his people to. If you can tell me where it says that you are not allowed to enslave people I will stand down on this issue. However I have ready the book. Thus your arguments are wrong. But please correct me.

  • This just restored my faith in the fact that music is the centre of everything

    

  • SHOUT WORTHY!

    

  • Goosebumps!!! Simply beautiful... (sigh)

  • This should have won the Oscar at the Academy Awards not 3 6 Mafia for Hustle and Flow!! Some people just dont appreciate pure talent and class!!!

  • This is why the ushers pass out tissues at my church. This is spirit of God is real and some ppl respond by crying. God uses music to stir the souls of his children.

  • @trunuyorker7

    No, it isn't real. But Humanity's ability to express itself through music is.

  • Nothing like it.

  • although I've seen this vid a thousand times before, I always get goosebumps. One of the powerful voice, i've heard in my life

  • 2 people don't know what music clearly don't know the definition of music...

  • ich verstehe zwar nicht was die frau singt, aber das hört sich einfach nur hammer an.

  • I am totally against religion in all forms, but there is absolutely no denying the soul and emotion in this woman singing this song so beautifully. If it doesn't move you, you have no pulse. Magnificent.

  • I almost got to shouting in the movie theater! LOL

  • but it could be a million n a half things the movie hands down is my favorite because you can pick apart everything about it

  • she is amazing

  • Angelic voice, touched my soul with pain and joy at the same time

  • Hustle and Flow is such an underrated film

  • they spelled "my" wrong!

  • @oxyborb I think they did that for a reason lol

  • @dakari09 in the movie dj gets pissed every time someone says his name the wrong way the way he demands his respect a pimp does come in many forms but always demands his respect. how i feel is they put this song in the movie because shit in the movie dj really dont appreciate anyone who says his name wrong after this part of the movie you can tell he takes the lords word to heart and is out in his streets doing what he has to by ne means

  • @mc36 thnx for the history I never thought about it that way

  • The iTunes version is without the choir in the background:( still good just not the same for me.

  • This is the most beautiful thing i have ever heard. Truly a the voice of an angle

  • @wegflyiuasgduyags

    An obtuse one or acute?

  • My God this is so beautiful that I almost can't take it. I agree with Poetshine..I have look EVERYWHERE for this...the only place I have been able to find it is on Youtube. They have a valuable diamond in this song and don't even know it!!....How dare you not release this as a single....How can you not recognize is beauty and power...how foolish they are.

  • Theres no way to describe this song sung by this soulful sister. Her voice pulls at ur heart and makes u cry. Its like u can feel the pain urself. Love it love it love it!

  • This song can bring tears to your eyes. The meaning behind it is incredible. Its been on repeat for 24 hours. I feel like it has altered my life in an even better direction.

  • love her voice

  • Chills over my whole body... eyes watery,,, just beautiful

  • This song needs it's own soundtrack...repeated 10 times!

  • At first I was bare confused by this bit of the movie coz I was high, but u kno how u appreciate music so much more wen ur stoned. This was amazing!

  • Simply Powerful. It speaks to the soul of any human dealing with struggles within themselves.

  • Such a emotional scene I'd never forget in this film like his soul was crying. It's almost as if you could feel his pain through hear voice.

  • i wish i could sing somewhat like her. i love her opera voice....if what i just said makes sense lol.

  • This song is truly truly amazing, it stikes me deep. Wow.

  • Religions aside, the amount of heart & soul in this song is breath-taking !

  • @Dstructor You don't have to put it aside.

  • This lady it heaven sent !!

    To have the ability to belt it out like that... I don't care who you are, if any type of sound can give you the chills ( muscle car, steer bike, bass rattling , a country twang ) this lady has to have given you the chills .

  • one person is an idoit

  • sounds like what happens when the black muslims in america change their name to Muhammad... .........HMMM.....

  • I do, every time I watch this scene.

    The best song in the movie, and it is not on the soundtrack.

  • YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I remember the first time I saw this movie, and this scene came on after the pot deal at the corner store. this scene was unexpected. suddenly I was listening to the most beautiful voice I had ever heard in my life singing those words....and a tear began to roll down my face. at that very instant they cut to him with a tear rolling down his face. it was an amazing moment for me....transcendent, much like her voice is transcendent.

    I now own the dvd and to this day I tear up every single time.

  • '' Jesus told me..that the world would be against me if he changed ny name''... WOW...all i can say is that this is so true! when one becomes a christian he is hated by the world...by the secularists, the liberals, the atheists and peoples of other religions like islam.

  • @shamvara

    Oh please, you guys dish out as much hate as everyone else does, you just call it "judgment". So go rid yourself.

  • @Tillerspoke look all im saying is that the level of hatred towards christians is higher and of a distinctive nature....tell me what happens to a muslim person who converts to chistianity?? DEATH PENALTY...look at all the deep hatred that people have for jesus here on youtube...its so obvious... 'if the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. No servant is greater than his master, if they hated me so shall they hate you'

  • @shamvara this song is a "spiritual". spirituals are songs that slaves would sing when laboring or worshipping giving them a sense of connection and community when given very little opportunity to do so.

    the lyrics are referring to slaves that had their names replaced with the names of their masters.

    no matter what was done to them, they still had their connection with Christ, which gave them inner strength to counteract the hopelessness of their situation.

  • @dunkafelic ah. Okay I understand. (S/N their connection with Christ was beaten into them because according to the bible it is okay to have slave. that is why so many of them wanted to remain slaves.

  • I need to find out if its safe to have chills repeatedly flow through the body..cuz if not then i probably shouldnt listen to her voice again.

  • WOW!!! What a beautiful operatic voice. I wonder why they didn't put this on the soundtrack.

  • No lie the best Song Remix

  • 121- 131 gav me a chill

  • when he cried at the end made me cry 

  • My name is changed..... "I" am CHANGED!!!!

  • she can bring a tear into a mans eye

  • beautiful.

  • So haunting! I love it!

  • Never heard such a voice..touches my heart.

  • Meaning I told Jesus it would be alright if I have to take on new responsibilities and if I am confronted with worldly challenges because I decided to become a Christian, to be use by him. To Die to Self. TO GO HUNGRY IF NECESSARY AND ITS OK IF THE WORLD HATES ME. POWERFUL.

  • you dont have to be religious to feel this realness

  • ITENSELY POWERFUL, enough said.

  • amazing artist. Love how the movie was about giving unkown talent a shot & yet Jeffifer's performance was ironically left off the soundtrack album...

  • I love this song!! It sure has an amazing way of piercing my soul!! Definitely a annointed song..

  • "And revolutions always mean the breakdown of old authority." ~Hu Shih, 1891-1962~

  • Gives me chills every single time. This is how people break chains, through anointed music like this.

  • her Voice is Anointed Praise God

    She preformed it amazingly she has a major gift on her hands and she uses it in the most profound ways. :)

    It touches that spot in my heart when I dedicated my life to Praise Jah!

    I cry and feel so good and purged afterwards.

  • This is why I like too sing. I want to achieve what she has. The power to make you cry at something so beautiful that it just silences you. You can't help but cry too.

  • beatifulll..!!!!!

  • @poetshine I was equally pissed off. I love this song and it definitely should have been added to the soundtrack. What were they thinking? That is why I didn't buy the soundtrack because it missed this song.

  • @iroc31407 tell me about it and i def didn't noticed it wasn't on the soundtrack until AFTER i brought it...needless to say i got my money back....

  • @poetshine you're right...i can't find anywhere this song!!!

    did you find by now?

  • @IngGio83 that's because it's not anywhere lol it was a miracle how i happened to have come by it actually but yes i have it

  • absolutely awesome!!! one of the most beautiful arrangements i've ever heard.

  • This is very soothing

  • this is the best part of the movie.

  • This Is Just Beautiful!

  • Angelic

  • Wow. Just wow. THAT, people, is what we call God-given talent.

  • I nearly cried when i first saw this part.

    It makes me glad to be christian, to see such soul.

    Unarguably one of the top three best parts of Hustle & Flow

  • This was the best part of the movie. I got chills the first time I saw this.

  • she can really sing. it sounds so good
