Be a Man is a hip hop album released on October 7, 2003 featuring professional wrestler "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Among the tracks, the album features a song where Savage makes fun of Hulk Hogan along with a tribute song to Curt Hennig.

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."

[edit] Title track

The album is best remembered for its title track, in which Savage legitimately challenged Hulk Hogan for a fight.

During the song, Savage made fun out of Hogan's acting career (comparing such movies as Mr. Nanny to his "feature role" in Spider-Man) along with Hogan's match against The Rock at WrestleMania X8. Savage also claimed Hogan no-showed a match against him in a children's hospital charity event and that Hogan threatened Savage's father on the telephone.
