Any comics about black guys solving crimes and spouting jazzy one liners? I want some good old fashioned blackxploitation.

Pretty sure that's exactly what early Luke Cage comics were

Ape Entertainment published a Black Dynamite one-shot several years back. They even got old-school 1970s comics artist Jun Lofamia to do the art for that blaxploitation feel (pic-related)
IDW also published a Black Dynamite miniseries after that.
Super Fly wasn't fighting crime, he was saving his own ass.
This one's about a gay Jamaican cop but it's pretty classic hero-against-the-system and being a total badass.

There's a Shaft ongoing that's pretty good.

Yeah OP, Priest was a straight up drug kingpin.

>gay Jamaican cop
As a Jamaican I ask how the fuck did that guy not get brutally beat to death? Carribeans really do not like Gays atleast the male ones

That's kinda the whole point of the book. He was stealthmode, but somebody outs him and it becomes a total manhunt to kill him and his partner. He's trying to get them both out of Jamaica and to the US where they can be safe.

A coincidence, I assure you. Ape Entertainment primarily publishes licensed kids picture books and comics (Sesame Street, Penguins of Madagascar, Strawberry Shortcake, etc.).
IIRC, Black Dynamite was their first attempt to publish a licensed comic that isn't based on a kids/all-ages property (Black Dynamite is a blaxploitation parody film directed by and starring Michael Jai White... the dude who played Spawn in the 1990s live-action Spawn movie). Probably didn't work out for them, since the license migrated to IDW not long after the one-shot's publication.
