电影《川流熙攘》(Hustle & Flow)的主题歌《It's Hard Out Here for a
Pimp》获得最佳原创歌曲奖。
虽然Hip
Hop和说唱音乐是当今美国流行乐坛主流，但是在奥斯卡上却不是那么如意。2003年的奥斯卡颁奖典礼上，说唱天王阿姆(Eminem)凭借处女电影《8英里》(8
Mile)的主题歌《Lose Yourself》获得最佳原创歌曲，但是他并没有现场演唱这首歌。再回看历史，获得最佳原创歌曲的说唱歌手是要数1972年Isaac
Hayes主唱电影《夏福特》(Shaft)的主题歌《Theme from 'Shaft'》。
It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp
歌词
You know it's hard out here for a pimp (you ain't knowin) When he tryin to
get this money for the rent (you ain't knowin) For the Cadillacs and gas
money spent (you ain't knowin) [1] Because a whole lot of bitches talkin shit
(you ain't knowin) [2] Will have a whole lot of bitches talkin shit (you
ain't knowin)
[Djay] In my eyes I done seen some crazy thangs in the streets Gotta
couple hoes workin on the changes for me But I gotta keep my game tight like
Kobe on game night Like takin from a ho don't know no better, I know that
ain't right Done seen people killed, done seen people deal Done seen
people live in poverty with no meals It's fucked up where I live, but that's
just how it is It might be new to you, but it's been like this for
years It's blood sweat and tears when it come down to this shit I'm tryin
to get rich 'fore I leave up out this bitch I'm tryin to have thangs but it's
hard fo' a pimp But I'm prayin and I'm hopin to God I don't slip, yeah
[Chorus]
[Djay] Man it seems like I'm duckin dodgin bullets everyday Niggaz
hatin on me cause I got, hoes on the tray But I gotta stay paid, gotta stay
above water Couldn't keep up with my hoes, that's when shit got
harder North Memphis where I'm from, I'm 7th Street bound Where niggaz all
the time end up lost and never found Man these girls think we prove thangs,
leave a big head They come hopin every night, they don't end up bein
dead Wait I got a snow bunny, and a black girl too You pay the right price
and they'll both do you That's the way the game goes, gotta keep it strictly
pimpin Gotta have my hustle tight, makin change off these women, yeah
