Rudy Ray Moore was, and is, a legend - he did more with less than anyone ever has in hollywood (except MAYBE for Ed Wood, jr) - and has left a legacy with ripples that will extend far, far into the future. He may not have 'invented' rap, but he sure advanced it, and probably did accidentally create the modern 'gangsta' persona, first with his stand-up and later thru 'Dolemite' : rhyming his lines, being the baddest mutha around (even though he was well north of 30 and not exactly in peak physical condition when the first movie was released.)
