The Shaft Soundtrack to be Re-released as a Deluxe Issue

Craft Recordings has announced a new deluxe reissue of Isaac Hayesā€™ Grammy Award-winning album Shaft.

Set for a June 14th street date and limited to 5,000 copies worldwide, the two-CD collection will offer the newly remastered, classic soundtrackā€”originally released in 1971ā€”plus all of the original music from the film, which did not appear on the best-selling LP. In-depth liner notes from Ahmir ā€œQuestloveā€ Thompson round out the set. A single-disc version consisting of only the remastered soundtrack will also be available.

In the liner notes of the deluxe reissue, Roots co-founder Ā Questlove writes that the film ā€œwas the Big Bang of African American moviesā€¦It was Year Zero for the Blaxploitation movement. It was the blast center.ā€ While Shaft was a game-changer, Isaac Hayesā€™ compositions for the film helped set the stage for countless scores to follow. Questlove elaborates, ā€œShaft did many things. What it did, most of all, was cement the relationship between African American movies and African American music. Every Blaxploitation film that followed, whether it was a straight crime story, a feminist rewrite, a comedy, or even a horror movie, had an accompanying soundtrack by an artist trying to put the black experience on wax.ā€

Both a commercial and critical success, Shaftā€”Music From The Soundtrack remains Isaac Hayesā€™ best-known and best-selling album. The groundbreaking titleā€”which, upon its release, was already setting a record as the very first double album of original studio material from an R&B artistā€”became an instant success. Shaft spent 60 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart, peaking at Number One, while ā€œTheme From Shaftā€ went to Number One on the Hot 100 singles chart. Hayes took home three Grammy Awards for the album and its songs in 1972, and an Academy AwardĀ® for ā€œBest Original Songā€ for ā€œTheme From Shaft,ā€ becoming the first African American to win an Oscar in a non-acting category. The classic track has been sampled by N.W.A., Big Daddy Kane, Jay-Z and many more. In 2014, Shaftā€”Music From The Soundtrack was inducted into the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress for being ā€œculturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.ā€

Three Generations Get Together To Kick Ass In New ā€˜Shaftā€™ Trailer [Video]

LCM: Samuel L. Jackson x Dylan Jones - Celebrity Karaoke Evening

Source: David M. Benett / Getty

It’s been almost two decades since Samuel L. Jackson kicked ass first and took names later as John Shaft and though it seemed like that original film was destined to be a one-off, it turns out that Warner Bros. isn’t done dealing with the bad mutha – well, y’all know the rest.

In the first trailer for the latest installment to Shaft, we’re introduced to John Shaft Jr.(Jessie T. Usher) who isn’t exactly a chip off the old block but ain’t exactly an apple that fell far from the tree either. Looking for help from his father and grandfather, OG Shaft (Richard Roundtree) to help him solve the untimely death of a friend, Shaft Jr. finds his millennial self struggling to adapt to the old school code of badassness that made his OG folks living legends out on the streets.

Filled with comedic hijinks and bullets all over the place, the trailer to Shaft does seem like it’ll be an entertaining watch.

Check out the trailer below and let us know if you’ll be checking for it come June 14.

Cardi B Lands Deposition Date for $15M Lawsuit Against Former Manager

Cardi B is involved in a string of legal issues. One of the battles is with her former manager, Shaft, who argues that he jumpstarted the former reality star’s career before she financially cut him off. Bardi clapped back with a lawsuit of her own.

The “Money” rapper sued Shaft for $15 million and claimed that he was way too controlling over her career and personal life. However, she’s scheduled to meet with his attorney in March 2019.Ā She’ll be testifying against Shaft about her legal battle with him.

The court allowed Cardi to push the date back due to her pregnancy, but now that she has given birth to baby Kulture, she’s ready to put the legal gloves on.

Offset might also get a deposition date because Cardi B previously alleged that Shaft tried to intervene in her relationship with the Migos rapper because he charged the Bronx rapper $50K for his “Lick” verse after saying it cost $25K. He hasn’t received a deposition date.
