'''Krip-Hop''' is a movement that promotes the musical talents of [[hip hop]] artists with disabilities to media outlets, [[educators]], [[disability]] and race scholars, [[youth]], [[journalists]] and hip hop conference coordinators.<ref name="khn-facebook"/> The Krip Hop movement uses hip hop music as a medium to give a voice to the disabled, providing them with the opportunity to speak out about their experiences.<ref>Choy, A. (2012, February 12). [http://dailyuw.com/archive/2012/02/12/news/krip-hop-nation-uses-hip-hop-expose-disability-issues "Krip-hop nation uses hip-hop to expose disability issues."]</ref>

==History==
Krip Hop was founded by Leroy F. Moore Jr., an African American writer, [[poet]], lover of hip hop, community [[activist]], and [[feminist]] who was diagnosed with [[cerebral palsy]].<ref name="khn-facebook"/> Moore was born in New York in 1967 to parents that were highly involved in the activist community. The involvement of his parents in activism activities made sure that Moore grew up aware and involved with issues pertaining to African Americans as well as the disabled.<ref name="amoeba"/> Moore discovered at a young age that most people had very little knowledge of the influence of disabled African Americans throughout history. This realization led him to do his own research starting with those in the music industry.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.amoeba.com/blog/2008/07/jamoeblog/krip-hop-project-s-leroy-f-moore-on-being-black-disabled.html |title=Krip-Hop Project'S Leroy F Moore On Being Black & Disabled |publisher=The Amoeblog |date=2008-07-11 |accessdate=2014-01-26}}</ref>

Moore first put a spotlight on disabled hip hop artists in the early 2000s. He co-produced and co-hosted a three-part series on what he dubbed "Krip Hop" for a Berkeley, California radio station. The "Krip Hop" series appeared on [[KPFA]]'s ''Pushing Limits'' program, which focuses on news, arts, and culture from the disabled community.<ref>{{cite web|last=Hix |first=Lisa |url=http://www.kqed.org/arts/performance/article.jsp?essid=43903 |title=Interview with Leroy Moore, Founder of Krip Hop Nation |publisher=KQED Public Media |date=February 17, 2011 |accessdate=2014-01-26}}</ref> The series became very popular and because of this Moore founded the Krip Hop Nation for disabled musicians shortly after.<ref name="kqed"/> Until this point very little cultural work or music concerning people with disabilities had been recognized. <ref name="reverb"/> “The Krip-Hop movement really makes the pain the people feel visible,” Moore said. “It goes a lot deeper than what people can see.”<ref name="uwdaily"/>

Moore has explained the name "Krip Hop" comes from a play on words from "Hip Hop." The "Krip" part of the name refers to "crippled" but is spelled with a "k" to avoid any association with the infamous [[gang]], known as the [[Crips]]. <ref name="kqed"/>

==Krip Hop Nation==
After Moore participated in "Krip Hop" on [[KPFA|KPFA 94.1]] he created the Krip Hop Nation. Krip Hop Nation addresses the discrimination against disabled artists in mainstream hip hop by publishing articles and hosting events, lectures and workshops. Krip Hop Nation currently has over 300 members worldwide.<ref name="wordgathering"/>

The main goal of Krip Hop Nation is to inform music and media outlets of the talents, history and rights of people with disabilities in the hip hop industry. In an interview, Moore expressed his hope that in listening to his music the audience would understand the need to question authority and the information that is provided to them through textbooks. He said he wants his listeners to learn about their community and become open and accepting of all people. Issues such as racism and sexism are commonly discussed, and Moore says he hopes that people will likewise reflect upon possible ableism in their attitudes.<ref name="kqed"/> Moore said that Krip Hop Nation serves a purpose beyond producing music and the stereotypical bling associated with hip hop; the movement is about advocacy, education and reclaiming oppressive material. Moore has sought to reclaim negative terms associated with the disabled such as "crazy", "lame", "retarded", and "cripple", instead using them to shock people into understanding and respecting the history of the disabled African American community.<ref name="wordgathering"/>

==Accomplishments==
The Krip Hop Nation project:
*Has released two mix-tape CDs;
*Put on conferences with the PeaceOut HomoHop organization at UC Berkeley and New York University;

Welcome to Poor Magazine! N.p., n.d. Web. 18 Nov. 2013.</ref> Among these collaborators was Emmitt Thrower of Artist Magnet. The documentary is to be released in 2014.<ref>{{cite web|author=Leroy |url=http://poormagazine.org/node/4655 |title=Krip-Hop Nation End of the Year Accomplishments 2012 |publisher=POOR Magazine/Prensa POBRE |date=2013-01-08 |accessdate=2014-01-26}}</ref>

[[Kalyn Heffernan]] is an up-and-coming rapper from [[Denver]], Colorado. Suffering from [[brittle bone disease]], Heffernan stands at 3'6" and is permanently confined to a wheelchair. She is the driving force of Wheelchair Sports Camp, an experimental hip hop group that combines classic beats with jazz and avant-garde influences. Her raps are highly political, with many discussing the imbalance she faces as a handicapped person in America. Heffernan has helped musicians in Haiti by creating beats for rappers in the area still dealing with extreme poverty following the [[2010 Haiti earthquake]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Gentile |first=Joseph |url=http://www.vice.com/read/everyone-in-this-wheelchair-sports-camp-is-stoned-and-making-beats?utm_source=vicefbus |title=Everyone in This Wheelchair Sports Camp Is Stoned and Making Beats |publisher=Vice |date=2013-12-05 |accessdate=2014-01-26}}</ref>
