Nineteen Eighty-Two brought his comedy routines to video in the form of RUDE. Other than that the 80‘s, in the film business was slow for Rudy, but he stayed busy on the road performing shows throughout the country. Rudy was not aware of the new audience on the rap scene; he was picking up from sampling his songs. Many rappers at that time thought Rudy was dead. Rudy had no contact with the rap scene, because he was performing for another type of audience.

Not until a little neighborhood kid grown up now, name Donald Randell, decided to help Rudy with something he knew about, rap. Donald was (the kid who sneaked down the street) and began his career in entertainment on the film Petey Wheatstraw the Devil's Son In Law starring comedian Rudy Ray Moore aka Dolemite. Randell and Dolemite maintained a friendship and shortly thereafter, Randell began negotiating and clearing samples for the comedian who recognized that Randell had the business and artistic savvy to handle his catalog.

This led to Randell managing Dolemite 25+ city tour. He initially started out as a songwriter on the tune Merry Muthaxxxx Xmas released on Ruthless Records with the legendary late rapper Eazy E. Randell continues his work with Dolemite as his tour and business manager. He has produced and coordinated projects for a roster of talent that include Grammy Award nominees and winners Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Tone Loc, Busta Rhymes, and 2 Live Crew

to name a few.
