didn't they say he died from exhaustion? Being tired? I never heard of anybody dying from being tired. was it like he came home, his wife was like baby you look tired, go get some sleep. Isaac was like fuck that, as tired as I am, fuck a nap, I'll just die. R.I.P. Isaac

Isaac sung the theme song to shaft, but he didn't play shaft. Richard Rountree was shaft. I think it was richard roundtree.
