T.I. stars in new Netflix movie

T.I. is set to star in Netflix's newest comedy movie together with Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Wesley Snipes, Mike Epps, and Keegan-Michael Key.

The movie revolves around the life of Rudy Ray Moore, a legendary comedian, musician, actor, and movie producer. Moore eventually popularized the character "Dolemite," a pimp who influenced the entire "pimping" style that everyone is familiar with today.

To a lot of rap enthusiasts, Moore has been referred to as the "Godfather of Rap" due to his raunchy and sexually-explicit rhymes. He became famous in the 1970s when his underground records became popular in black communities. He used his funds to produce and star in "Dolemite," a blaxploitation movie featuring a pimp with a bunch of kung-fu-fighting prostitutes. The film, which was not available publicly, was an underground sensation.
