    He’s the one who truly understands that only the audience matters, not the critics.
    And him walking the aisles in the theater talking and thanking people for coming to see his movie is awesome. You’d never see that these days.

    Have to respect Mr. Moore. He knew his goals, understood his strengths, and accepted his limitations, then set out and made himself a life that fit who he was. An existential hero of sorts.

      I kept thinking about that money he saved up, even in today's world a hundred thousand is a nice chunk of change most of us would love to have sitting in their account. Imagine how easy it could have been for him to spend, say a third of it, and live way more comfortably in that day's currency. He certainly had self control to save all that cash back then.
      He had a goal and he set out to do it after years of saving. That alone is incredibly impressive.

      Moore is not a great success story because of the type of movies he made. It does not matter how he got there but look at what kind of movies he gave us. Have you seen Dolemite? All you need is the first 10 minutes to see what I am talking about. He is a pimp, a misogynist pig. This is usually not the kind of man who is honored. Look at the naked women on his album covers. We have evolved from this place. I can't understand why we are resurrecting this man. We dont need to go back in time to attack him but we also need to leave this man and his legacy in the past where it belongs.

    Wow. Just...wow... THAT was an AWESOME mini documentary, sir! Good work! :) I really think that Moore would be PROUD to see this video! ;) I honestly never even heard of the man until now, but now I am definitely going to be checking out his work! So, thank you for making this video! I will have to catch the new biopic starring Eddie Murphy, too. (BTW, for those that are curious, according to Wikipedia it will be out in "limited release" on October 4, 2019 and on Netflix the following October 25!)
    BTW, I wish more people would realize that "dirty" art is still art. There's a little bit o' Dolemite in everybody and there is certainly nothing wrong with exploring, discussing, and, yes, even laughing (especially laughing) about the darker/"dirtier" side of human existence (i.e. sex and "gross" stuff, like, a-hem, "poop"). Maybe if more people relaxed a little more it would make for a better world. More people just need to learn to kick back and laugh at ALL of the funny/weird things that we humans seem to like to do. Maybe even discover that we all have a little more in common with each other than we ever realized before. Here's to you, Rudy! :)

    I live in Fort Smith, Arkansas and had no idea that Rudy Ray Moore was from here until I watched the 'My Name Is Dolemite' movie with Eddie Murphy. I'm going to start a petition to the city of Fort Smith to recognize Rudy Ray Moore for his lengthy, ultimately successful career in Hollywood. I've never seen his name anywhere here.

    Wow the fact that I’m coming back to the comment section weeks after watching this mini documentary and just literally finished watching the Netflix movie( which in my opinion was somewhat a bore) you pretty much covered the actual damn movie minus the actors and writers fluffing up some details about him I’d say you did a better job than big budget Netflix!!! Keep doing your thing it’s totally appropriated.

    Back in the late 80s, I was always intrigued by (but never rented) a VHS tape that said "He's rawer than RAW... He's the high priest of JIVE... He's absolutely LIVE!" It was a Rudy Ray Moore concert film, apparently released to piggyback on the success of Eddie Murphy's "Raw." I had heard of Dolemite over the years, but only watched it for the first time yesterday. It does not disappoint. Thanks for this insight into the man's life.

    My first exposure to Rudy Ray Moore was through Aries Spears on Mad TV. After learning about him through the Netflix film, it's clear that he was not the "godfather of rap". Clearly, the man was the Patron Saint of rap, independent film, and stand-up comedy. He made miracles happen through sheer will, determination, and dedication to his craft.

    I've commented on other videos of yours, but I'm just going to say it again.
    The main thing that made me a fan of your channel is the amount of research you put it, I love that.
    Keep it up for as long as you can, and I'll keep watching.
