The King👑, Mr. Rudy Ray Moore aka Dolomite, put it down!😂 The audience laughed, were then a little perplexed, then they caught on and laughed even more. It probably didn't air on Def Jam because of politics, smh. They did the comedian game a disservice by not showing it. I was laughing so hard just now. We have his records, a couple classic movies (Dolomite, Petey Wheat Straw, and maybe The Human Tornado), lots of records, hip-hop samples, his Arsenio Hall performance which aired live, and now Def Jam.

Thank u VERY much for posting this. I FINALLY get to see Rudy Ray Moore on Def Comedy Jam. Rudy was hurt cuz it never aired. I don’t get why it didn’t air. He was just as dirty as Martin Lawrence, Bernie Mac etc.

[@anpuarcturus]

No wonder I never heard anybody talk about Rudy Ray Moore on Def Comedy Jam! That is so sad and shameful! Too often that trailblazers like Rudy get treated so badly! His career could have been resurrected!

[@ghanasoul]

@anpuarcturus Deep down, I know why it didn't air. If Rudy KILLED it like Bernie, Chris Tucker, Eddie Griffith, Bill Bellamy, etc, they would've definitely aired it. He did ok but didn't do well enough 4 the producers 2 air it. Rudy was very disappointed that it didn't air cuz the guys I just mentioned are basically talkin bout what Rudy said on all those albums he made in the '70s.

[@anpuarcturus]

@ghanasoul that's the difference between us and other races. Other people tend to recycle people when possible that paved the way for others. Comedians like Rudy Ray Moore, Tina Dixon, Leroy & Skillet, Wildman Steve, to name a few, are from a different era. It's hard to make me laugh, but I can be amused if the routine is good. I get what you are saying, but the producers were wrong in my humble opinion. Rudy Ray Moore never became a household name. Himself and others helped future Black comedians to do so.

[@marlongreenworldwide2451]

​@@ghanasoulI've seen every episode of every season, and there are many, more than 20 comedians, that got fewer laughs than Rudy Ray Moore, but there performance aired. Also, some comedians had their sets edited to hide the dead spots of their sets. Rudy Ray Moore's set should've aired. It was more about politics than anything else.

Rudy ray Moore stole his entire act and jokes from a homeless man.

[@gorgeouslady5612]

Rudolph Frank Moore (March 17, 1927 - October 19, 2008), known as Rudy Ray Moore, was an American comedian, singer, actor, and film producer. He created the character Dolemite, the pimp from the 1975 film Dolemite and its sequels, The Human Tornado and The Dolemite Explosion (aka The Return of Dolemite). The persona was developed during his early comedy records The recordings often featured Moore delivering profanity-filled rhyming poetry, which later earned Moore the nickname "the Godfather of Rap." Actor and comedian Eddie Murphy portrayed Moore in the 2019 film Dolemite Is My Name. Early life Moore was born and raised in the Johnson House on 1400 North 12th Street in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and eventually moved to Akron, Ohio, and then Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In Milwaukee, he preached in churches and worked as a nightclub dancer.[6] He returned to Akron, working in clubs as a singer, dancer, and comedian, often appearing in character as Prince DuMarr. He joined the US Army and served in an entertainment unit in Germany, where he was nicknamed the Harlem Hillbilly for singing country songs in an R&B style. He developed an interest in comedy in the Army after expanding on a singing performance for other servicemen. After his honorable discharge he lived in Seattle, Washington and then Los Angeles, where he continued to work in clubs and was discovered by record producer Dootsie Williams. He recorded rhythm and blues songs for the Federal, Cash, Ball, Kent, and Imperial labels between 1955 and 1962, and released his first comedy albums, Below the Belt (1961), The Beatnik Scene (1962), and A Comedian Is Born (1964). Career Dolemite records and wider acclaim By his own account, Brown was working at the world famous Dolphin's of Hollywood record store in Los Angeles in 1970 when he began hearing obscene stories of "Dolemite" recounted by a local man named Rico. Moore recorded a number of street poets, including Big Brown who, before he moved to Los Angeles, had been an influence on Bob Dylan, among other artists, while living in Greenwich Village. (Dylan said Brown's poetry was the best poetry he had ever heard.) In 1973, Moore produced Brown's album, The First Man of Poetry, Big Brown: Between Heaven and Hell. According to Moore, there was a wino named Rico, and Moore heard him on the street corner doing all these raps and rhymes: Rico, you do "Dolemite", I'm gonna give you some money for soup. He did "Dolemite" in the middle of the floor in the store I was working and the people just rolled. So I thought then, he's not a professional; I'm a professional comedian. What if I did "Dolemite"? Sure enough, I invited him to my house, give him a little reefer and some wine. He put "Dolemite" on tape, I recorded it, the rest is history. Moore began recording the stories, and assumed the role of "Dolemite" in his club act and on recordings. In 1970-71 he recorded three albums of material, Eat Out More Often, This Pussy Belongs To Me, and The Dirty Dozens, where "with jazz and R&B musicians playing in the background, [Moore] would recite raunchy, sexually explicit rhymes that often had to do with pimps, prostitutes, players, and hustlers." Moore was influenced by more mainstream comedians such as Redd Foxx and Richard Pryor, as well as by traditions such as the Dozens. The recordings were usually made in Moore's apartment, with friends in attendance to give a party atmosphere. The album covers and contents were often too racy to be put on display in record stores, but the records became popular through word of mouth and were highly successful in Black American communities, where his "warped wit and anti-establishment outlook" were embraced. Dolemite movie and later success Moore spent most of his earnings from the records to finance the movie Dolemite, which started filming in January, 1974. It was released and distributed nationally beginning in April 1975, and has been described as "one of the great blaxploitation movies" of the 1970s.The character 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." The film was successful and was followed by The Human Tornado, The Monkey Hustle, and Petey Wheatstraw: The Devil's Son-in-Law. Moore continued to release albums that appealed to his enduring fanbase through the 1970s and 1980s, but little of his work reached a white audience. His "rapid-fire rhyming salaciousness exceeded the wildest excesses" of Foxx and Pryor, and his highly explicit style kept him off television and major films. At the same time, Moore often spoke in his church and regularly took his mother to the National Baptist Convention. He said that: "I wasn't saying dirty words just to say them... 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."
