The Macho Man Randy Savage had pursued a career as a rap artist; his debut album Be a Man was released on October 7, 2003. His album
was met with scathing reviews; according to a review by Dan Aquilante of the New York Post, his album "defies the laws of physics by blowing
and sucking at the same time." Another critic described the vocals as sounding like "Nick Nolte after a whiskey and sandpaper binge." The title
track of the album was intended to make fun of Hulk Hogan. There is also a track entitled "Perfect Friend", a tribute song for wrestling buddy
Curt Hennig.
Savage died of a sudden heart attack while driving with his wife in Seminole, Florida on the morning of May 20, 2011.
