Comedian Katt Williams devised a comedy routine using the song's chorus to punctuate his humour the routine is seen in the 2007 film American Hustle, and Williams later reprised the routine for one of his Split Sides Comedy Club performance segments in the 2008 video game Grand Theft Auto IV.

It is also featured in comedy films We're the Millers and Identity Thief, as well as “9 Days”, a season 3 episode of the scripted comedy series Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
The song is featured on the track list of the video game Skate. It peaked at number 54 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and led to Ross becoming the subject of a bidding war, receiving offers from Diddy's Bad Boy Entertainment and Irv Gotti's Murder Inc., before signing a multi million dollar deal with Jay Z's Def Jam Records. The song was a breakthrough for Ross, and skyrocketed him to worldwide fame almost overnight.
Hasn't 'Hustlin'' has been out for like a year now I feel like I've been saying 'whip it real hard' for a long time. Rick Ross' album, The Port of Miami, finally dropped this week.
"Prayer" is the final track on the album, complete with one of the more sinister beats and Ross talking about G-d. The above tracks are some of my favorites I actually prefer the original version of "Hustlin'" with just Ross, but I imagine everyone has that and this one seems to be more popular anyway. The whole album reminds me of Young Jeezy-lite, similar drug tales, flow (ending lines with the same words) and music hell, one of the songs sounds very similar to "Soul Survivor." Unfortunately, Ross just doesn't have that X factor to take it to the next level, his rhymes don't quite do it for me the way Jeezy's do. No song comes close to "Hustlin'," a true classic song. It's almost like a dual consciousness thing, two sides to every rapper today.Īnyway, Ross' debut is alright, nothing extraordinary. It's not a bad thing, as ya need to sell records to make money the mixtapes seem to be where you get the realness and more of an attempt to distinguish one's sound. and Chamillionaire are others who come to mind, who seem to smooth out the regional sounds of New Orleans, Atlanta and Houston for a more accessible sound. He actually doesn't have as much of a bass sound as the association would imply in fact, Ross seems like the latest Southern release that doesn't really adhere to any specific regional, but rather a general Southern vibe.
For those who don't know, Ross comes from Miami and the Trick Daddy Slip N' Slide scene. But, whatever, it's good to finally have another anticipated rap album out, hasn't really been a big year for the mega releases. Hasn't "Hustlin'" has been out for like a year now? I feel like I've been saying "whip it real hard" for a long time. Jay Z and Young Jeezy, "Hustlin' (remix)"
