"Your mother play dice with the midnight mice."

I learned how to talk in the street, not from reading about Dick and Jane going to the zoo and all that simple shit. The teacher would test our vocabulary each week, but we knew the vocabulary we needed. They'd give us arithmetic to exercise our minds. Hell, we exercised our minds by playing the Dozens.

I fucked your mama 

Till she went blind. 

Her breath smells bad, 

But she sure can grind.

I fucked your mama 

For a solid hour. 

Baby came out 

Screaming, Black Power ...

And the teacher expected me to sit up in class and study poetry after I could run down shit like that. If anybody needed to study poetry, she needed to study mine. We played the Dozens for recreation, like white folks played Scrabble.

Buddy Bolden, who is often credited with leading the first true jazz band, was apparently an aficionado of the form. A fan named Dude Bottley recalled that Bolden and his regular sidemen, trombonist Frankie Dusen and guitarist Lorenzo Staulz, "had the reputation of being the nastiest talking men in the history of New Orleans, and that also included the Red Light District."

When they arrived on the bandstand they greeted each other with such nasty talk as, "Is your mother still in the District catchin' tricks?" "They say your sister had a baby for a dog." "Don't worry about the rent, I saw your mother under the shack with the landlord." These three men could go on insulting you for hours if you played "the dozens."

She said, “Daddy, where you been?”
You said, “Bitch, I been out gamblin’ and tryin’ to win.”
She say, “you know you lyin’, motherfucker, you haven’t laid a bet,
you standin’ there all funky and your dick still wet.”
She said, “Well, you know, daddy, you know you can find a grinder
any time that can grind a while,
but tonight I want it did on the Hollywood style.”
She said, “I want you to fall down on your bended knees
and eat this pussy like a rat eat cheese.
I don’t want you to slacken up one bit
until I pull your ears and make you quit.”

I used to hang out in bars just to hear the old men ‘talking shit.’ By the time I was nine, I could talk Shine and Titanic; Signifying Monkey, three different ways, and Piss-Pot-Pee for two hours without stopping”

I met a fellow who was a wino when I managed a big record store.He used to come in reciting these lines.I'd give him money whenever he'd break into his rap so he could eat.He could only eat soft food because his teeth were so bad.I would tell him to do Dolemite for me and everybody in the store would start laughing.I had him put it on tape for me and hastily went to the recording studio and elaborated on it from there.I took it to the record store I was running, which was called Dolphins of Hollywood.I put the needle on it and the customers heard the first line from it, "Some folks say Willie Green was the baddest motherfucker the world ever seen." Immediately, a guy walked up and said "Give it to me."He carried this record home and 30 minutes later I had people coming in and asking for the record.-Rudy Ray Moore
