Ultimate Hustler was an American reality show broadcast on Black Entertainment Television. The show featured Damon Dash training 16 ordinary people to become a "hustler" and make money. Based on its premise, the show has been described as a hip-hop version of The Apprentice. People claim that the show was stolen from two up-and-coming producers, John Coleman and John Rhodes. The pair recently filed a lawsuit against Dash, BET, Damon Dash Music Group, Dash Films and Huck Films.
The program was first broadcast on October 4, 2005, with the final episode on December 13, 2005, with Brian Rikuda winning the top prize.

Famous quotes containing the words ultimate and/or hustler:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“The more characteristic American hero in the earlier day, and the more beloved type at all times, was not the hustler but the whittler.”
—Mark Sullivan (1874–1952)
