Rudy Ray Moore--Dolemite RIP (NSFW Profanity) 
Way, way down in the jungle deep The badass lion stepped on the signifying monkey's feet. The monkey said, "Motherfucka, can't you see? You're standing on my god damn feet!" The lion said, "I ain't heard a word you said." Said, "If you say three more I'll be steppin on yo muthafuckin head!" Now, the monkey lived in the jungle in an old oak tree Bullshittin' a line every day of the week. Everyday before the sun go down, That lion would kick his ass all through the jungle town. But the monkey got wise and started using his wit, Start telling "I'm gonna put a stop to this old ass kickin shit." So he ran up on the lion the very next day He said, "Oh, Mr. Lion. There's a big, bad motherfucka coming your way. And he's somebody that you don't know. He just broke aloose from the Ringling Brother's Show." Said, "He talked about your people in a hell of a way. He talked about your people til my hair turned gray. He said your daddy's a freak and your momma's a whore. Said he spotted you running through the jungle sellin asshole from door to door! Said your sister did the damndest trick. She got down so low and sucked a earthworm's dick. Said he spotted yo niece behind the tree, Screwin a muthafuckin flea! He said he saw yo aunt sittin on the fence Givin a goddamn zebra a french. Then he talked about yo mammy and yo sister Lou, Then he start talkin about how good yo grandmaw screw. Said yo sister's a prostitute and yo brother's a punk, And said I'll be damned if you don't eat all the pussy you see when you get drunk! He said he cornholed your uncle and fucked your aunty and niece, And next time he see yo grandmaw he gonna get him another good piece. Said your brother died with the whoopin cough and your uncle died with the measles And your old grandpaw died with a rag chunked up in his ass, said he's goin on home to Jesus. And you know yo little sister that ya love so dear I fucked her all day for a bottle of beer. So, Mr. Lion, you know that ain't right. So wherever you run up on the elephant, I want you to be ready to fight." The lion jumped up in a hell of a rage Like a young man smoking some gage. He ran up on the elephant talking to the swine. He said, "All right, you big, bad motherfucka, It's gonna be your ass or mine." The lion jumped up and made a fancy pass, But the elephant side-stepped him and knocked him dead on his ass. He fucked up his jaw, messed up his face, Broke all four legs and knocked his ass out of place. They fought all night and all the next day. Somehow the little lion managed to get away. He drug his ass back to the jungle more dead than alive, Just to run into the monkey and more of his signifying jive. The little monkey said, "Look here, partner, you don't look so swell. Looks to me like you caught a whole lot of hell." Said, "Your eyes is red and your ass is blue. I knew in the first place it wasn't shit to you. But I told my wife before you left 'I should have whipped your ass my motherfucking self.' Shut up! Don't you roar! 'Cause I'll jump out of this tree and whip your dog ass some more. And don't look up here with your stuck 'ol case Because I'll piss through the fork of this tree in your motherfuckin' face!" The little monkey got happy; started jumping up and down His feet missed the limb, and his ass hit the ground. Like a ball of lightning and a streak of white heat, That lion was on his ass with all four feet. Thus, rolls of tears came in the little monkey's eyes, Nothing he could see and nothing he could hear But he knew that was the end of his bullshittin' and signifying career And SIGNIFYING CAREER!!!! thanks for the memories!!!

Rudy Ray Moore dies at 81; comedian and filmmaker influenced rap and hip-hop
By Jocelyn Y. Stewart 4:21 PM PDT, October 20, 2008 Rudy Ray Moore, the self-proclaimed "Godfather of Rap" who influenced generations of rappers and comedians with his rhyming style, braggadocio and profanity-laced routines, has died. He was 81. Moore, whose low-budget films were panned by critics in the 1970s but became cult classics decades later, died Sunday night in Toledo, Ohio, of complications from diabetes, his brother Gerald Moore told the Associated Press. Though he was little known to mainstream audiences, Rudy Ray Moore had a significant effect on comedians and hip-hop artists. "People think of black comedy and think of Eddie Murphy," rap artist Luther Campbell of 2 Live Crew told the Miami Herald in 1997. "They don't realize [Moore] was the first, the biggest underground comedian of them all. I listened to him and patterned myself after him." And in the liner notes to the 2006 release of the soundtrack to Moore's 1975 motion picture "Dolemite," hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg said: "Without Rudy Ray Moore, there would be no Snoop Dogg, and that's for real." When it came to his own sense of his accomplishments, Moore was never burdened by immodesty. "These guys Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer and Bernie Mac claim they're the Kings of Comedy," Moore told the Cleveland Plain Dealer in 2003. "They may be funny, but they ain't no kings. That title is reserved for Rudy Ray Moore and Redd Foxx." The heyday of his fame was in the 1970s, with the release of "Dolemite" followed by "The Human Tornado," "Petey Wheatstraw: The Devil's Son-in-Law" and "Money Hustler." The way Moore told it, his introduction to Dolemite came from an old wino named Rico, who frequented a record shop Moore managed in Los Angeles. Rico told foul-mouthed stories about Dolemite, a tough-talking, super-bad brother, whose exploits had customers at the record shop falling down with laughter. One day Moore recorded Rico telling his stories. Later Moore assumed the role of Dolemite, a character who became the cornerstone of his decades-long career as a raunchy comedian, filmmaker and blues singer. "What you call dirty words," he often said, "I call ghetto expression." But long before "Dolemite" debuted on theater screens, Moore had found fame -- and fans -- through stand-up routines and a series of sexually explicit comedy albums. Not only were the album contents raunchy, the album covers featured women and Moore nude and were too racy for display. So store clerks kept the albums under the counter. Without airplay or big-studio promotion, the so-called "party records" were underground hits. "I put records in my car and traveled and walked across the U.S. I walked to the ghetto communities and told people to take the record home and let their friends hear it. And before I left the city, my record would be a hit. This is how it started for me," he told the St. Louis Post Dispatch in 2001. Although his contemporaries, such as comedians Foxx and Richard Pryor, managed to find success with a broader audience, Moore's stardom was bounded by the geography of race and class: He was a hit largely in economically disadvantaged, African American communities. According to his website, Moore was born in Fort Smith, Ark., on March 17, 1927. In his youth Moore worked as a dancer and fortune teller and he entertained while serving in the U.S. Army. But his big break came with the recording of his Dolemite routine: Dolemite is my name/And rappin and tappin/ that's my game/I'm young and free/ And just as bad as I wanna be. By the time Dolemite appeared on film, he was the ultimate ghetto hero: a bad dude, profane, skilled at kung-fu, dressed to kill and hell-bent on protecting the community from evil menaces. He was a pimp with a kung-fu-fighting clique of prostitutes and he was known for his sexual prowess. For all the stereotypical images, Moore bristled at the term blaxploitation. "When I was a boy and went to the movies, I watched Roy Rogers and Tim Holt and those singing cowboys killing Indians, but they never called those movies 'Indian exploitation' -- and I never heard The Godfather called 'I-talian exploitation,' " he told a reporter for the Cleveland Scene in 2002. Late in life, Moore saw his work win fans far beyond his African American audience. There is a "Dolemite" website and chat room that boasts a cross-cultural collection of young fans. Such interest won him mainstream work in an advertisement for Altoid Mints and a commercial for Levis jeans. Though Moore built a career on talking dirty, he was very religious. He took pride in taking his mother to the National Baptist Convention each year, and often spoke in church at various functions. He rationalized his role as a performer. "I wasn't saying dirty words just to say them," he told the Miami Herald in 1997. "It was a form of art, sketches in which I developed ghetto characters who cursed. I don't want to be referred to as a dirty old man, rather a ghetto expressionist." "Let love be your perfect weapon..." ~~Andy Biersack | |

i pulled out my dolemite dvd and watched it in rudy's memory last night.
my dad introduced me to the awesomeness that is dolemite by accident when i was about 14--he gave me an old tape to listen to one day (i think he'd forgotten what was on it  ) and i didn't think much of it until one night when i was bored. i popped the tape in my tape player, listened to it...i was like "dayum, this is awesome!" "pistol packin' pete" is mah shit!
rest in peace, disco godfather.
 this edit's so bad, it kicks its own ass twice a day[Edited 10/21/08 6:43am] | |
