You might've known Patrick Swayze for his good looks and dance moves, but did you know his name was also frequently dropped in hip hop tracks? No, Swayze didn't have a secret career as an MC, but his rhymable surname and starring role as ghost Sam Wheat in 1990's 'Ghost' led to musicians adopting his name as new lexicon. Hip-hop music blog, 'Hip-Hop is Read' writes:

The term "Swayze" (and, as a nod to his film, "going 'Ghost'") became popular in the early '90's, employed as a synonym for "leaving", "going" or "disappearing".
For example:
That's why I bust back, it don't phase me/
When he drop, take his glock, and I'm Swayze/

-The Notorious B.I.G. "Runnin'" & "Runnin' (Dying to Live)"
I'm sick, insane crazy, Driving Miss Daisy/
Out her f*ckin' mind now I got mine I'm Swayze/

- Method Man; "Bring the Pain"
