Hip-Hop Hear This!

Leroy Moore

Hip-hop hear this!
introduced Crip-hip-hop
Now the industry is “Thumpin” on L.y.f.e’s., debut album, “Southern Comfort”
the first Deaf Rapper & Producer
Teamed up with another Deaf emcee
Watch out for “Sho Me Who Rocs Betta: Chapter 1” by Sho Roc

Face on the turntables
Scratching with his chin
DJ Ectic has no arms, no legs
Getting the crowd up on their feet
His music swimming on sound waves across the ocean and sea
From the UK to the US

“Hop Up On Your Good Foot”
C.R.I.S.I.S spits on Officer in Charge from Zambia
The rap celebrates people with disabilities
With upbeat West African hip-hop lyrics

Blues to hip-hop
Digging deep down to the roots
From 1887 to today
“Strut That Thing” sang Cripple Clarence Lofton back in the day
“Wheelchair Blues” by Celeste White
Me, The Black Cripple, rhyming about “Identity”

Peg Leg Howell did the Peg Leg Stomp
and the Beaver Slide Rag in 1926
Peg Leg Sam Jackson did the Peg Leg dance in 1972
Ludacris brought back wheelchair square dancing
With a hip-hop flavor in 2005
“when I move, you move just like that..

House it with Paul Johnson
“In Motion”
as the record spins
Lost his legs from diabetes
But his hands made him the funkiest
house dj in the business

Fezo Da Madone uses his feet
To drop nasty beats in the studio
“Here I AM”, his latest CD
Radical MC with Cerebral Palsy




Jive Records made history in the early eighties
Signing the first disabled musician
Brooklyn’s own Rob Da Noize Temple
35 years in the music industry
Now he is stepping out in front with “Peace Thang”


Hip-Hop hear this!
Cripple Connection Production
Slapping on a label
“Warning this purchase will shatter images”
messages wrapped in a plastic cd Jewell case

Hey Blackalicious, your Rhymes, are they a gift or a sin?
You say you have Rhymes for the deaf, dumb and blind
but all we hear is gab, gab, gab, gab your name fits Gift of Gab
Give us the mic welcome to crip-hip-hop rehab
Hip-hop in recovery taking speech therapy opening up a new positive vocabulary
ripping a page from KRSOne Edutainment

Changing people’s backwards attitudes
Targeting the untapped disabled market
Distributors, agents, record companies, MTV & BET
Will pimp us as new kids on the block
But Cripple Connection Production is independent
Funding coming from our SSI benefits

Hip-Hop hear this!
Jay Z, sign our Ticket to Work
Puff Daddy and Flavor Flav, its time for a new Reality show
Called BADAS, Black And Disabled Artists Sharing
reporting inaccessible concert venues to the ADA police
The verdict please! Hip-hop hear this!
You’re out of compliance!
