Patrick Swayze Rap Star Wannabe?

Dirty Dancing icon Patrick Swayze is now experimenting with ''rap rhythms as an emotional undercurrent for ballads,'' reports AllHipHop.com.
The 53-year-old Swayze had a massive hit with the song She's Like the Wind from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack in 1987. The song is one of the most-played songs in the history of radio and helped the soundtrack sell more than 11 million records.
Hip-hop fans are familiar with Swayze for a different reason than his starring roles in such classic movies as Red Dawn, Roadhouse, The Outsiders and Ghost -- his last name has been used as rap slang since the early 1990s, when EPMD popularized the term on various albums. In U.S. hip-hop vernacular, ''Swayze'' means to ''leave'' or ''disappear,'' a term derived from his role in the 1990 film Ghost.
Swayze resurfaced in the rap world again in 2002, when he starred as an aggressive FBI agent in Ja Rule's video Reign.
Swayze, who has a role in the new flick Keeping Mum, did not peg a release date on his new material.
