You can sample the music — and hear Savage call out fellow geriatric wrestler Hulk Hogan in true gansta style — in the multimedia section of Macho Man's well-done web site.

As you might expect, there's are a lot of "Oooh Yeah!" mixed up in the dope beats. A LOT of "Oooh Yeah!" Unfortunately, I haven't caught a Slim Jim reference. Check out these lyrics from the song Be a Man:

They call you Hollywood (hugh hugh) don’t make me laugh
Cuz your movies and your actin' skills are both trash
Your movies straight to video the box office can’t stand
While I got myself a feature role in Spider Man

If you locked Eminem and Nas in a room for a month they couldn't come up with a more lethal lyrical assault than what has been penned by the former St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds farmhand. This stuff is gold, man. When's the Grammys? February 8? Savage is gonna have to rent a U-Haul to take home all the statues he's gonna win.

This is clearly one of the great albums ever put out by a wrester, but nothing will ever top the mid-'80s masterpiece The Wrestling Album, which has an average rating of 4 1/2 stars on Amazon. You can download full .mp3 versions of the songs, including the Land of 1,000 Dances medley, Grab Them Cakes by the late Junkyard Dog and Cara Mia by velvet-voiced Nikolai Volkoff. The crown jewel of the album is, of course, the debut single (and final single!) from Hillbilly Jim titled Don't Go Messin' With a Country Boy.

But take nothing away from Savage. It's only a matter of time before the Macho Man is headlining shows with Jay-Z and DMX. Take it from the Macho Man himself: "This CD is definitely gonna be a collector's item all the way!"
