Trivia

  • Terrence Howard was to perform the Oscar-nominated song "It's Hard out Here for a Pimp" at the Oscars, but he declined. The writers of the song Jordan Houston, Paul Beauregard, of Three Six Mafia and (Frayser Boy) Cedric Coleman decided to perform the song along with Howard's co-star Taraji P. Henson and member Crunchy Black instead. The group won the Oscar for Best Original Song making them the first African American hip-hop group to win one. They also appeared in the movie.
  • During the 2013 NBA Playoffs, the song Whoop that Trick has become very popular in Memphis during Memphis Grizzlies home games.
