Rudy Ray Moore was een komiek die vooral bekend stond vanwege zijn ranzige stand-up shows voor volwassenen, waarin de eerste vormen van rap een grote rol speelden. Moore kreeg hierdoor dan ook de bijnaam Godfather of Rap. Als 'Hollywood' hem geen kans wil geven maakt Moore zelf in 1975 de blaxploitation film "Dolemite".
Ja! de film Dolemite Is My Name is nu beschikbaar om te kijken op Netflix in Nederland.
