Crimes Against Music

During one of my random journeys through the vast information wasteland that is the internet, I stumbled upon this amusing album cover;

Yes it is as scary as it looks Macho Man Randy Savage has released an album. But not just any album, no sirree-bob a rap album!

For those of you lucky enough to not know who this madman playing with chains is, Macho Man Randy Savage was a wrestler in the WWF in the 80s. He was known for his madness, not to mention saying OHHHHHH YEEEAAAAAHHH!! a hell of a lot.

After a quick listen to some of the tracks (what can I say, my curiosity was peaked), I can say without a doubt that Macho Man has got it going on! I didnt really think that a 50 year-old white guy could really teach me more about rap music, but his mad M.C. skills really get the party moving. Its like hes taken all that charisma and crystal clear dialect that he used in the ring, and put it into 14 songs to make the baddest rap album on the planet!

Naturally, I could not find an online cd store that still had it in stock it is obviously so popular with hip-hop fans worldwide, that it has sold out. I hope more copies can be found, as I plan on spending every waking moment listening to this album. Time spent doing otherwise should be seen as wasted time if you see anyone doing anything other than listening to this album, thats NOT ME!

All the songs have HIT written all over them from Feel The Madness, to Macho Thang, through to Hit The Floor with DJ Kool (one that Macho Man states is strictly for the clubs.). But the real treat is the title track Be A Man, where he challenges none other than Hulk Hogan to a fight, claiming he is a chump and will wash his mouth out with soap. Tough words there, Macho. I wonder how the Hulkster would respond...




Well, no need to worry it seems the powers of Hulkamania have helped to produce this classic album:

Now, this rare gem was made quite a few years ago so it isnt exactly a response to Macho Man, but judging by the cover, it looks like it has as much attitude as Macho's Be A Man, although I must admit I do prefer the cover for the limited edition:


QUICK To the HULK-Mobile!!

With song titles like Hulkster's In The House, I Want To Be A Hulkamaniac, Hulk's The One and Hulk Rules, you wouldnt expect anything but the best music Hulkamania has to offer. Sadly, I have never heard anything from this album, and not surprisingly like Macho Man's it is no longer in stock. But I thought I would pass on a review I read:

Some say that the Hulkster should have made this album in 1985 instead of 1995, but it is plain to see that with all the synthesizers used in the creation of this jewel, it should have been produced in 2015. I truly believe that Hulk Hogan has the power to #1: defend my freedom (if I truly believe) #2: "Hang, Bang, and Turn it on." (at the beach) and finally #3 I believe that if I pray for them, one of these days I too will have 24 inch pythons. Hulk Hogans success just seems to keep rising, and at the rate the Hulkster is going he will probably be the guiding force of all God's creations.

"The prayers we said together, are still my guarantee." -Hulk Hogan

And for those trivia buffs who are as curious as myself, one of the members of The Wrestling Boot Band is a Mr. Jimmy Hart a former wrestling manager and Hulk's very own wife sings backing vocals. Talk about a depth of musical talent on one album! I am willing to bet this album is as poignant as those classic Hulk movies Mr. Nanny and Santa With Muscles.

I think the truly exciting thing here, is that this could be just the beginning! Why should wrestlers stop at albums? This is what I really want to see

He already has the mask. And with enough steroids, I think he could probably do the entire show in one breath and without blinking.
