When it comes to rappin' he was through with it before the rest of them learned what to do with it!
Features: DVD
This hilarious box set contains seven comedy flicks starring the hilarious Rudy Ray Moore including Dolemite, The Human Tornado, Rude, Disco Godfather, Petey Wheatstraw, Live At The Wetlands and The Legend Of Dolemite. Rudy Ray Moore is the Godfather of Rap, the original black action hero and mack daddy, party record impresario and renaissance man. Before there was Eddie Murphy, Rudy was delighting and shocking audiences with the bluest humor of his time or any other in live performance and on his records "Eat Out More Often" and "This Pussy Belong To Me." He was rapping twenty years before the Sugar Hill Gang even existed, and created the unique and hilarious prototype for the "blaxploitation" hero with Dolemite. The pioneering Dolemite films rise above all others of their genre because of their pure outrageousness: exaggerated stereotypes, kung fu sequences, 70s kitsch and bawdy humor. You can see evidence of Rudy's influence in the work of Robert Townsend, Quentin Tarantino, The Hudlin Brothers and Ice-T. Still going strong and spreading the gospel of Dolomite, Rudy Ray Moore is an American original.
