Whoop That Trick

This scene, the song, everything about this movie is perfect. I just saw it for the first time about a week ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Obviously when DJay is rapping about ‘tricks’ he’s not talking about women, at least not necessarily. The song is about him and Nola as ‘hustlers’ kicking ass and taking names of the mark-ass bitches, busters and scallywags, independent of gender, who consistently blow up spots. In DJay’s moral worldview, I hold, women are esteemed as equals because, like men, they too are hustlers or tricks by virtue of action, not birth.
