"Dolemite" is a 1975 American blaxploitation crime comedy film centered on its main character, portrayed by Rudy Ray Moore, who co-wrote the film and its soundtrack. Inspired by a rhymed toast he heard at a record store, Moore adopted the persona of Dolemite in his stand-up routines, which featured on his 1970 debut album, "Eat Out More Often." In 1975, Moore decided to create a film based on Dolemite, funding most of the production himself and recruiting friends and fellow comedians for the cast and crew. The New York Times once referred to "Dolemite" as the "Citizen Kane" of blaxploitation films.
