00:00 Check this out. I made $12,000 for doing Hustle & Flow.
00:05 And then on top of it, what Paramount did,
00:08 instead of putting my name as Terrence Howard performing the songs,
00:12 they put "Performed by DJ."
00:14 Well, they own DJ.
00:16 So guess what? The performance royalties went to Paramount.
00:20 - They went-- - Wait a minute.
00:21 - They didn't go to Terrence Howard. - So if we're talking bills,
00:22 Terrence Howard made $12,000.
00:25 That's all I ever made from Hustle & Flow.
00:27 Everything else went right back into Paramount.
00:30 So now I gotta sue Paramount or send them a letter.
00:33 - Are you serious? - I gotta send them a letter to say,
00:35 "Hey, you guys owe me about 20 years' worth of residuals and performance royalties."
00:40 - But I didn't know-- - Wait, wait.
00:42 I was just trying to pay my rent then.
