"Hustlers" is a song from Nas' 2006 album Hip Hop Is Dead that features West Coast rapper The Game and female singer Marsha Ambrosius. It is produced by Dr. Dre, who creates a rapid synthesized string-heavy beat. Mike Elizondo and Lionel "LJ" Holoman, the song's bassist, play keyboards on the track. Nas' lyrics are about his connection with West Coast rap and Dr. Dre specifically, while The Game spends most of his verse telling a story about stealing two classic rap albums, Nas' Illmatic and Dr. Dre's The Chronic.
A music video for the song was leaked to the internet on November 9, 2007. The video shows Nas in an elevator for his first verse, followed by The Game driving a lime green impala for his verse and then features both Game and Nas on a rooftop in Los Angeles for the third verse. Omar Cruz also appears during the end of the video.
