SummerSlam ‘89, Slick walking to the ring with Boss Man, Akeem and Andre. Seeing Andre making an entrance to this song was a sight to behold.

Yo dude Andre walking out to this was the coolest thing I have ever seen

Akeem is my favorite and the best Black wrestler of all time!

This song is best heard while walking around like Akeem used to on the way to the ring.

Even heel wrestlers needed (reasonably) catchy songs (this was when people enjoyed watching wrestling - at home and especially live, hence what I've just said) [especially as the heel wrestlers are only villains in the *storyline* - not in real life, where they're much nicer, as they have families, who they love, and vice versa]

LEGEND !!! He'd be in the HOF if he did not try to sue WWE. Still wrestles.

one of my favorite themes growing up😂 listening to it now brings back memories still love it

"Well ma name is Akeem, If you know what i mean, If you don't, lemme tell ya I'm the African Dream! This is the 'Keemster talkin at-cha, Honayyyy!"

Before Obama, we had Akeem. Akeem was 20 years ahead of the times...

I once did a book report on akeem for black history month in 3rd grade and when i turned in the teacher gave me a F instead of an A. She said i needed someone who is actually black and wasnt a gimmick for the WWF doesnt count.

Still One of the best themes out there

Bossman coming out to this theme always cracked me up lol

COOL SONG AKEEM ALWAYS LIKED IT.

This has to be one of the most pimpin songs ever in wrestling!

This track was fucken awesome

The 85-91 WWF was the best because the managers were fantastic.. the wrestlers were great.. the whole thing was perfect.. no spoilers no social media.... today’s trash is lame AF..

Quality music! One of the funniest ever things in wrestling, when he "hit" the ropes with Boss Man against THE MEGA POWEEERRRSSS!

I always associated it more with the "heel" Big Boss Man! Either way it's brilliant, Slick as the heel manager was such a great and funny character!

As a white guy, it’s highly embarrassing. We don’t need to be going around exposing how lame we are. I wanted to be the Fresh Prince when I was a kid. But I didn’t paint my face and start using the n word. That’s basically what this is. This guy was no JRoc from the Trailer Park Boys, that’s for sure. I don’t blame the performer. I blame the promoter who basically said go make fun of black guys or you’re fired. On behalf of all white people, I’m sorry about this. Between this, Vanilla Ice and K-Fed, we’re really embarrassing ourselves as white people. As George Carlin said, we should be proud, be white, be lame and get the F off the dance floor.

and 'racism' is exactly why the WWE (as it's now called) got rid of Hulk Hogan (I don't think the WWF, as it was called as far back as when Akeem was in it, was in any way intending to be racist, with his African gimmick) this isn't even why Akeem left the WWF, in October 1990 (his departure, by this point, was just his popularity beginning to decline, after Big Boss Man turned on him and their manager Slick)

Are they saying "die so broke" in the chorus? I can't make it out.

Now that he's just made it to his 60s, I don't know if he'd still have the energy to sing like this (this was way back in the late 80s, when he'd just made it to his 30s, hence he'd have had the energy THEN to sing like this). This is the unfortunate thing about ageing.
