Six years after its release, Macho Man Randy Savage's debut rap album has become quite the hot comodity. It's priced NEW on Amazon.ca starting at $72.95 and USED from $101.06. Why is the used version more valuable than new? Why you ask? Perhaps these reviews might shed some light on the subject. It seems like those few who get a chance to listen to an original copy of the album have been forever changed by the experience. Perhaps owning a used copy of 'Be a Man' is a little like owning a piece of history. While not owning an original copy myself, I have heard MP3s of the tracks, and it is no exaggeration to say that 'Be a Man' is unquestionably the single greatest piece of music ever created by anyone throughout the history of mankind. I mean, just look at what the title track inspired these dudes to create! The only other artist to even come close to reaching Macho's heights is of course none other than Macho's life-long nemesis Hulk Hogan, who's song Hulkster in Heaven inspired a fan-made video of its own.

5.0 out of 5 stars The First Of Many Inspiring Albums, Jan 12 2005
By Dark Ninja (Canada) - See all my reviews

There is no way you will ever get closer to the utopia you experience when you listen to this outstanding album. I hope for the sake of every being in the universe that we will see many, many more Macho Man albums in the future. When I first caught a glance of this CD at Walmart, I turned and fell to my knees while time literally stopped. Once I regained consciousness I quickly filled a crate with the album and handed the cashier a flying elbow drop! When I placed the CD onto the tray of my stereo system, I knew at once that my life had culminated to that point, my purpose was to witness the sick, wicked, and nasty beats that were about to pulsate through the earth itself and energize my very life force. When the tray recalled itself back into the stereo console, it was as though the final puzzle piece of human existence had been put into place. Rainbows began to pour inexplicably out of the speakers and onto my terrace. The windows flew open and The Macho Man himself floated in on a winged platinum unicorn. He gave me a $5 gift certificate at Radio Shack and told me that I was the chosen one. He said that He and I would lead mankind out of poverty and strife forever. He said we must hurry, unimaginable evils were gathering and following him and there was not much time before he would have to face them. As we prepared to embark a low rumble could be heard in the distance. Hardly decipherable at first, but it began to grow louder, and apparently closer. The sky darkened rapidly and took on a red-orange tint. The rumble grew exponentially louder and more fierce, and the ground began to shake. Without warning an enormous crack in the planet's surface appeared and a great mountain of rock and molten lava shot up from the center of the earth with the force of ten trillion mighty buffalo. Satan himself stood before us, in all of his evil majesty. Despite this apocalyptic series of events, Randy was not at all intimidated. He stood fast, and with a mighty cry of 'OOOOOOHHH YEAHHHHHH!' he was suddenly 250 feet tall and was made entirely of gold. Satan lunged towards Savage with blinding speed, but The Macho Man was suddenly gone. Satan spun back around just in time for a vicious Macho Man drop kick to the throat. Again, Savage disappeared, leaving Satan dazed and confused. As Satan tried to recover Randy leapt at him from out of nowhere with a punishing sunset flip, sending The Dark Lord directly into a black hole on the other side of the universe. Savage explained to me how his musical talents inspired the Greek God Zeus, and so Zeus gave him super powers and ultrasonic vocal cords. I told him he's the illest, the true chief warrior. The bottom line is I used to steal cars and buses all the time, but ever since I heard this album I only smash fire hydrants. I no longer sleep or eat or talk, I just absorb the lyrical extremes that this album surpasses time and again and train to fight The Hulkster. Everything that you've ever done, are doing now, or will ever do is a complete waste of time unless it directly involves Randy 'Macho Man' Savage. If you don't own this album, I sincerely hope that this review has helped you realize what a clueless and wretched piece of waste you really are. And seriously Hogan, be a man for once in your life. If you just take the beating maybe Savage won't banish you from the universe....OOOOOOOHHH YEEEAAAHHHHH!!! I just crapped on myself.

With Xmas just around the corner, I thought I'd just add this little link to my Amazon.ca Wish List... just in case.

Also.. Weird Al has a new song about the state of the economy... which may be a little on the obvious side. Not really one of his best ideas. He didn't even bother trying to change the name of the original song.

Many people who visit Toronto for the first time are shocked by the sight of black squirrels everywhere. Many Torontonians are equally shocked to learn that black squirrels are rare and exotic creatures to outsiders. In Toronto black squirrels outnumber grey ones by a ratio of 10 to 1, and are just about everywhere you look. Outside of the city limits however you'd be hard pressed to find a single black one, unless you were in London Ontario, Washington D.C. or the handful of small towns across the U.S. that sees them not as a nuisance, but as a source of civic pride.

Aloha everybody! I wrote recently about how the unexplained death of former WWF Superstar Brian "Crush" Adams a few weeks ago inspired me to seek out his awesome 1993 song 'Cold Crush' from 'Wrestlemania: The Album.' As you may recall, I was surprised at just how rare and hard-to-find a song it would be. While it didn't take me long to track down 'Wrestlemania: The Album', Crush's single was conspicuouly absent. Turns out, for whatever reason, that particular track was only included on the U.K. and Canadian releases of the album. I began to worry that I might never hear this wonderful song again. Well, a few days ago I was visitig my parents' house and took the opportunity to dig up my old 'Wrestlemania: The Album' CD. Sure enough, the single 'Cold Crush' was right there on track 10, between 'I'm Perfect' by the late Mr. Perfect and 'Hard Times' by the late Big Boss Man. The song was just as fun as I remembered it, however given the mysterious circumstances surounding his death it's hard not to wonder if he failed to listen to his own advice when he sings "Stay away from drugs. Life is hard enough, and you need all the help you can get brotha, and drugs is a dead end road". Now, without further adieu...
