Key's impressed with what he hears and brings in Shelby (DJ Qualls, "The New Guy") to provide the beat. A junkie hard up for money sells him a Casio keyboard for a quarter. At Arnel's Bar, the owner (Isaac Hayes, "South Park's" Chef) confides that Skinny will be in town and that DJay should procure some 'good stuff' for him - a brush with fame all but assured. All of a sudden, things start to click for Djay. Djay's not merely disgruntled for his own situation, but clearly he thinks Nola should be aiming higher herself as well (and when she does, it's corny as hell, but satisfying). The camera pulls back (cinematography by Amy Vincent, "The Caveman's Valentine") to reveal that he's talking to Nola (Taryn Manning, "A Lot Like Love," "8 Mile"), one of his three girls, in his Chevy Caprice Classic (complete with rust-proofed front fenders). The film begins with a tight shot of DJay (Howard, in a breakthrough role if ever there was one, delivering a beautifully written soliloquy) as he offers his philosophy on why men are like dogs except for the fact that dogs never question their purpose. Writer/director Craig Brewer may be accused of sugar coating the lives of a pimp and his whores, but he and his cast have created such slam dunk terrific characters, that one can suspend one's disbelief and giddily get into their groove. 2005's Audience Award winner is the real deal, though.
