[jjonesych214903]

WAY DOW IN THE JUNGLE DEEP LOL

[sirskunksalot]

He changed the end. The REAL Signifying Monkey has close calls but gets away anyways.

[KojiRecords]

Well, Rudy, here is the weekend, this is about the time we'd be talking on the phone; in what was to be our last conversation, I told you how much I valued your friendship for all those years, having absolutely no idea how ill you were getting at the time. Will never forget getting you and LaWanda (Aunt Esther) Page on a 3-way call at work, my coworkers wondering why I was laughing so hard. Never thought I'd be talking to you now in cyberspace; will always miss you, Rudy, thanks for the memories

[beennybb1]

My aunt had this album. She also had Red Foxx, Richard Pryor and a few others that was not intended for young ears. I listened to this every chance I got when my aunt was not home. I loved The Signifying Monkey and used to tell it to my friends. Aaahhh, those were the days....LMFAO!!

[xXLivingLegend019Xx]

ROFLMAO!!!!!

[05peacock]

[MILLSPRO123]

[ffsBonGo]

Wisdom

[nackabilly]

This is great! Reminds me of House Party. No Rudy Ray, No Robin Harris I know but they were both hilarious.

[cgreenartpro1]

I remember when me & my brothers were little kids & discovered this records my father had of Rudy Ray Moores they were funny then & now timeless Classics.

[Tougemaster06]

Michael Jai White wrote Black Dynamite...

[gregwi562]

He should have be The Poet Laureate Of the U.S.

[shanestites]

I wish the uploader would change the name to the real name, which is THE SIGNIFYING MONKEY

[loudreality]

@shanestites Thanks. Good looking out!

[returnofdaking]

@shanestites indeed this is awesome

[jacksontrucking169]

damm i love this

[durtyboiEDT]

this iz da shiiiit

[Adamguy2003]

I prefer his other poem (The one about Shine and the Titanic), but this one's hilarious, too!

[Helenem55]

First of all: IT WAS TITLED THE "SIGNIFYING MONKEY"....when it came out in the 60s. Guys in prison would memorize Dolemite to make their crew laugh while talking shit, smoking & drinking.

[murrayalexander]

yeah, to stop em getting cornholed! lol

[coolwafferman]

Damn this is some ignorant ass shit. Funny as hell! They need more black movies like this.

[thetruthis9]

@coolwafferman

check out "black dynamite"...that shit is sooo funny...

[blackronjeremy]

Your right black dynamite was funny as hell I think they should have used Jamie Fox instead of Micheal Jai White still good though.

[ObamaTheRealLoser]

@blackronjeremy you crazy if you think that Boule fag Jamie Foxx could of done a better job then Micheal White. Jamie is old, short, not nearly as muscular and doesn't know half of what Mike knows about martial arts. Jamie Foxx is a coonin clown that has been over exposed. Micheal White didn't sell out and that's why he was perfect for the part.

[blackronjeremy]

@ObamaTheRealLoser if you like micheal jai white check out Blood and Bone. BTW im not dissing MJW hes a good actor hollywood just underrates him i think hes better than about %90 of todays mainstream crowd.

[ObamaTheRealLoser]

@blackronjeremy I may of seen that already but MJW went to waste because Hollywood is done with that type of black actor with extreme sex appeal (no homo). Wesley & Denzel did enough damage. They can't have that. They're getting back to their roots of cooning black actors that only bring comic relief. He is better then 90% of the black actors and many of the whites too. Peace

[mumbleora]

Check out "Pool shootin' monkey".

[geiadude]

I was a little white boy in the San Franando Valley working at of all things, a Car Wash and was turned on to Black Culture in 1968 Or 9 Whatever. I Truly loved (Still love and Miss) my Black friends and brothers There. I guess I was a step ahead of it all in some ways. Rudy was a part of that. I still have his old Party Records. All them old LP's And Im glad I still do I do Love my Man Rudy Ray Moore!

[1C7Z3H5X]

@geiadude enough about the movie,lets hear more about you and how you changed our culture

[hsingi7777]

@geiadude

You are toooo funny! You are unique. It would be great to talk to you and hear you, a white guy, quoting Rudy Ray Moore. I'm a black guy and I live here in SoCal -- but I'm more of what some of my friends have called me: a white boy. I'm more of a classic rock guy than rap music guy; The Doors; Van Halen; Kansas; Boston; etc. I find it fascinating when people go outside of their stereotypical zone, as in your case. To hear you running off Signifyin Monkey would be something.

[tezee21]

yes this is 2 funny

[dirtysouthhood]

all time favorite this my shit

[MARDLtransmit]

EPIC!!

[fatmak909]

[MsPuddie]

everybody should ignore racist comment's they dont matter they have been jealous since the beginning of time it's so sad that they are the only ones who still make ignorant comments still to this day that tells me alot . they are not worth the energy.

[CSMHBH]

Don't sweat it, Justice. While that ignorant Cracker writes racist trash, his daughrer is somewhere getting busy with the Brothers. As you well know, Tractor Boy wouldn't have the balls to start something in person. His kind rarely do.

[concreteoutlaws]

@CSMHBH I would wipe my cave man ass on your collards eggplant

[ohmphthschwrhu]

@concreteoutlaws you mama wants to suck my cock, shes collardizing her bolemic hole from eeyah to eeyah , for THIS big black MUTHUFUHKIN KEEYAWOCK HEEYAH,HEEYAH. you lithium eating shitkajizzazism!

[concreteoutlaws]

@ohmphthschwrhu Uh, Uh, cocaine is a hell of a drug nig nog. Now go get me a bean pie beotch and remember your new name is now Toby, dont make me show you what the word cracker really means. I used to walk over people like your black stank ass just to get to a fight. Mark.

[MIKESOWELL]

@concreteoutlaws Can't we all just........get along?

[sevenjustice]

I wish I COULD HAVE 5MIN WITH YOU TO SHOW WHAT A NIGGER WILL DO IF YOU SAID THAT TO HIS FACE

This reminds me of Kid n Play's house party!!!!!! Way down in the jungle deep...!

[liltd87]

[spyrotek2000]

Haha, That's where I first heard it. I wouldn't even have known about Dolemite if it wasn't for House Party. I feel I'm missing out.

[SuicidleLemming]

im watching house party now thats why i searched for this lol!

[zariahnyree]

"You do like Dolomite dont cha? U grew up on it." I love House Party 1 and 3

[JR123187]

This man was way before his time, I think that's why he has never , truly ,been credited for his genius.

[LakerKev]

Nobody says "motha fucka" better than Dolemite!

[danifilth28379]

Amen Amen

[charliestube1]

The only other person that says it just as good is Samuel L. Jackson.

[derek1651]

Try Morgan Freeman in " Wanted." Man it was hilarious to hear him swearing...lol

[nashishan]

:/ Why are all the positive comments on this video marked thumbs down several times? What is wrong people on the internet?!

[keysib]

This shit was funny as hell!!! Rudy Ray Moore was a fool! R.I.P.

[dpkvwells]

[adresher]

Rudy Ray Moore - simply the best - better than all the rest!

[osu612]

word.

[w4wtoronto]

This is an African tale that Dolemite aka Rudy told in a "jive' fashion. Has the same effect though, "bullshit will always fly in your face".

[jaysua]

how did dolemite die?

[pkrishnametal]

diabetes

[blacknuss6]

all of you so-called rappers, bow down!!!!!!!!!!

[Trillville66]

[Raven6248]

This movie has touched so many. You know Robin Harris raised Kid on this.

[marleyinoc]

wow well said. white people shiver. black unite. gray, i said gray, come to attention.

I see whites and blacks and I see gray. Gray, come to attention. Gray, are you hearing me? Gray I said come to attention.

Do you hear me?

[fahiim101]

R.I.P (Rudy Is Prestige)

It was an honor and a privelege to have smoked some of the fattest doobies with you! you were the shotgun king and i will always remember the day that you coughed so hard you farted and hollered out "shit fire and save matches, hurry up and light another one!" you were truly significant, monkey!

[yopersonaltraina]

he's one of he best eva and check out Wild Man Steve

[onithor]

Leroi Jones lives...I mean Amiri Baraka wrote a damn good poem. But i doubt even he could match the theatrics of Rudy Ray.

[birmingham2222222]

R.I.P. U MUTHAFUCKA U

[anderson1939]

To this day : I wonder where did the late Robin Harris get that line from ? When I was going to school my brother showed & interduce me to : Dolemite . It's sad that Rudy Ray Moore passed away , it broke my heart , but his still legacy can be heard from almost everyone. God rest in peace , Dolemite.

[anderson1939]

And this was the line I heard at 0:40 that got me hooked to this very single day.

[kdog3055]

Rudy Ray Moore will never be equaled in terms of his originality. I got props from the lines I memorized and used when "signifiying" on lame ass rat soup eating no business barring muthafuckahs in school! RIP Brother, you were the best!!!

[crunchmaster0]

Godspeed Mr. Moore. RIP

[will8523]

[thompson1454]

dolemite is god like.

[lookahere]

He might have been ahead of his time but his acting sucked. LOL!!!

[Juonouchithepunk]

poetry in the making

[drlove1972]

why does this man not get the recognition that he deserves for being a pioneer

[MIDNIGHT1DEMO]

Naw this guys a legend. He was just ahead of his time. Comedy that vulgar back then was frowned upon. Now its comedic gold.

[Hoopskidoodle]

There was always comedy like that in black circles. Black comics couldn't play the big rooms, so they had nothing to lose.

[charliestube1]

Yes this is true, Rudy was ahead of his time. It's just that he came out very early and now all of the commedianes (Eddie Murphy, Martin, Dave Chappelle) all pay homage to him. And he likewise is known as the Godfather of rap. Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Easy E, and many more sampled much of his materal. So Rudy was a huge trend setter and a trailblazer that just came out before his time.

[butterflyfist19]

das a bad boy right there

[charliestube1]

Dolemite should teach a college course on human sexuallity. That would raise a lot of eyebrows!!!

[Caveman7091]

Dolemite MUTHAFUCKA!!

[sponooch]

he's the baddest motherfucker!

[charliestube1]

Dolemte working his baddest mojo.

[roborocker123]

a monkey screeches at 1:45

[charliestube1]

Dolemite doing the dam thang!!!

[jorbird]

it funny then that monkey

[ladyraven30]

Love it!!

[jr4820jr61]

FUNNY SHIT THAT BAD ASS DOLEMITE
