The Great……keep it up bro, you make it happen, Captain. From gifts in Wal-Mart for mothers to the stand-up showmanship, on Houston’s Resturants. I thought you were gone Starbucks on Blast, but hey….that’s not your call of duty. #SALUTE.”
Another stated: “Wow, I see so many faces in this pic. A little bit of Marvin Gaye and Malcolm X…interesting.I can’t wait for the film to start. My first time watches Rudy Ray Moore I was I my 20, and I saw it in drive-in theater here inhere in Memphis. It was my first date ever going out with a guy, and I enjoyed watching the movie ever since then I’ve been watching all of his films.”
And a third person shared: “I cannot wait to see this masterpiece film! This is going to be the classic film of the year. You took this character to a whole new level. #Soulglow Squad.”You no business born soup eating, insecure honky muthafu#ka!” 2) “Dolemite is the name and fuc*in up muthafuc**as is my game!” 3) “You gon have to take me!” *Honorable mention*- “Yo Lips look like a turtleneck sweater.Fam if Eddie went all out and even did the ?karate stunts Imma be crying tears.”
This fourth person claimed: “Eddie Murphy is the old comic that can pull this off again.. To his credit Coming to America, Beverly Hills Cop series, the nutty professor, and life are comedy classic. His is a writer on top that as well an excellent collaborative talent too. Superfly was problematic because a first-time hip-hop director chooses poorly executed script & typecasting. Same goes for Benny boom and the 2pac movie.”
