Question by spacecase_mlb: Does anyone know the type of keyboard and beat machine that was used in the movie Hustle and Flow?
My boyfriend wants to learn to make his own beats. He loves Hustle and Flow and the movie seems to inspire him to start on the path of music. I want to know the type of equipment that Key (Anthony Anderson) and Shelby (DJ Qualls) used in the movie so I can go out and look for that type of equipment. Thanks for your help.
