Three 6 Mafia: "It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp" (Live On Mo'Nique) (Video)

What a totally insane world we live in. We live in a world where Mo'Nique, the former host of Flavor of Love Charm School, can talk to Three 6 Mafia about winning Oscars. Oscars! The award that Martin Scorcese only has one of! The award that Sandra Bullock also has! Insane.

Here's a video of Three 6 Mafia performing their Oscar-winning song, "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" on Mo'Nique's talk show. It's apparently for a Hustle & Flow retrospective, since co-star Taraji Henson was there too, and they even have her sing the hook a little too. The performance is a bit heavy on the muffled "yeahs," but this is like a time capsule item, because this is what it took to win Oscars in 2000s. Oscars!
