Krip Shaft
Leroy F. Moore has Krip Isaac Hayes‘ classic Song, Shaft, what he calls,Krip Shaft. Shout out to Isaac Hayes III and his Fanbase social media!
What & Why of Krip Shaft: Leroy F. Moore continues to make powerful Black disabled image and songs. His recent Krip remake is Isaac Hayes 1971 blaxploitation film/song Shaft is aimed to empower Black disabled people. Early 1970’s was empowerment of Black experience especially in music by Black men from Isaac Hayes to Curtis Mayfield, James Brown and on the big screen with movies like Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss, Shaft and Superfly that also had powerful Black women like the 1974 movie Foxy Brown with Pam Gier to today’s powerful Luke Cage where he has a disability and his partner’s injury but comes back with a bionic arm.
There are many sides of the 1970’s blaxploitation films with their soundtrack songs era but the one side that Leroy is concentrating on is Black empowerment through lyrics and image with a 2025 Krip-Hop politics. A Black disabled Shaft is suppose to be a symbol of empowerment for Black disabled males that you don’t hear or see often in today’s song lyrics and in music videos.
Leroy has a long history of writing and remaking songs to empower Black disabled men like when the late Rob DA Noize Temple teamed up with Leroy to remake aka Krip out Curtis Mayfield’s 1971 hit, Beautiful Brother Of Mine it was a message to Black disabled men to keep their head up, then Leroy once again teamed up with Rob to put out Man To Man Talk, Black Disabled Man and also Leroy Krip aka remade Josh White Sr. 1960 song, The Blind Man Stood On The Road & Cried. By kripping Isaac Hayes’ Shaft Leroy puts not only Black disabled men in an empowering role but also makes the Black community and Black women a home that Krip Shaft is protecting and a place where he is powerful.
Lyrics and YouTube link:
Who’s the the black public krip
that’s a forbidden sex machine to all the chicks
You damn skippy
Who is the Krip that runs with a limp to save his brother Krip?
You dig it
Who’s the Black super Krip that pulls up when people are shouting
Wheel on Wheel on Wheel on cause this is only the beginning
They say this cat Krip Shaft is a bad mother..
Flatten your tires
With a Krip-Hop Soul beat
To take you off your feet
R.I.P. Isaac Hayes
Communicating on Fanbase
I’m talking about Krip Shaft
Then pop a wheelie
He is the invisible man
No one can see him but his women
That forbidden sex machine
Women swinging on the taboo
Krip Shaft can’t loose
He makes you forget about your blues
City to city wheelin in his scooter
With his women coming together
One more time
In a Krip-Hop Soul rhyme
Like wine
He is so fine
Who’s the the black public krip
that’s forbidden sex machine to all the chicks
You damn skippy
Who is the Krip that runs with a limp to save his brother Krip?
You dig it
Who’s the Black super Krip that pulls up when people are shouting
Wheel on Wheel on Wheel on cause this is only the beginning
They say this cat Krip Shaft is a bad mother..
Flatten your tires
With a Krip-Hop Soul beat
To take you off your feet
R.I.P. Isaac Hayes
Communicating on Fanbase
I’m talking about Krip Shaft
Then pop a wheelie
He is the invisible man
But no one can see him but his women
That forbidden sex machine
Women swinging on the taboo
Krip Shaft can’t loose
He makes you forget about your blues
City to city wheelin in his scooter
With his women coming together
They say this cat Krip Shaft is a bad mother..
Flatten your tires
I’m talkin’ ’bout Krip Shaft
(Then we can pop a wheelie)
[Outro]
He is a the invisible man
But no one can see him but his women
Brother to brother sister to sister hand in hand
Krip Shaft you understand
