The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A-
"Though the language is quite foul and the sexuality and domestic violence can get down-and-dirty, at heart Hustle & Flow is pure Rocky."
Austin American-Statesman: 4 of 5 stars
"The movie's formulaic contours get blasted out by a beat that feels new and urgent and now."
