SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:54 Min.
The song appears as the fourteenth track on “Macho Man” Randy Savage’s 2003 debut rap album, Be A Man. He collaborates with Prymary Colorz in a personal tribute to his late friend and colleague, “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig, who had passed away earlier that year. Savage’s brother, Lanny Poffo, penned the song. As “The Genius,” Poffo once ‘managed’ Hennig during their WWF/WWE days — notably, for high-profile feuds with Hulk Hogan and later Brutus Beefcake.
REVIEW:
Of the few assets re: Be A Man, “Perfect Friend” is one of them. Setting aside Savage’s dubious rap talents, the lyrics are decent, if not sometimes awkwardly phrased. This track scores in large part due to Prymary Colorz’s solid R&B/rap melody. In terms of good intentions, Savage’s remembrance of Curt Hennig is commendable, as “Perfect Friend” is likely the best effort on Be A Man.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 7 Stars
Note: An opportunity to see Savage & Hennig team up is their tag match as ‘The Perfect Team’ at WWE’s 1992 Survivor Series.
