10. "Barry Horowitz" By Action Bronson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNKeBoRbifw Lyric: "It's Barry Horowitz rap/I pat myself on the back" If you were to come up with a list of wrestlers that could and should get referenced in a rap song, you probably wouldn't come up with Barry Horowitz's name for a very long time. Horowitz was best known for losing and losing and losing and then losing some more. It goes to show you that Action Bronson isn't your "normal" rapper. He is a well-known fan of the wrestling business and has made several references in his songs, including name dropping Bam Bam Bigelow, The Nasty Boys, Marty Jannetty, Booker T, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine and much more. You tend to stick out a bit more when your lyrics are filled with references and one-liners that everyone else isn't using. Mentioning one of wrestling's most beloved "jobbers" is a good way to stand out and the fact that a Barry Horowitz name drop was still able to become a confident line makes it all the more special.
