“Why, the day he was dropped from his mommy’s ass, he slapped his pappy’s face and said, ‘From now on, cocksucker, I’m runnin’ this place.'”
…So sayeth the Dolemite, whose The Return of the Dolemite 2002 — the latest in the legendary B-Movie series — is due out soon (alas, straight to video).
Man, did I ever love the 70s blaxploitation flicks… Richard Roundtree, Melvin Van Peebles, Jim Kelly, Bernie Casey, Shelley Winters…and now, at the age of 65, Rudy Ray Moore is back — “fuckin’ up muthafuckas” just like in the old days (well, with the help of a coupla stunt Dolemites, no doubt).
A history lesson in street lingo. Enjoy a Dolemite / Sweet Sweetback’s Baad Asssss Song double feature (the latter flick starring Melvin Van Peebles (1971) — and dedicated to “Brothers and sisters who have had enough of the Man”).
Now. Where’s my bitches?
Ah, Dolemite was the Shakespeare of Ebonics. He gave us expressions we use everyday:
“What the shit is that?”
“You no-business-havin’ honkey motherfucker!”
