Drag-on- Trouble
Pit Bull, Lil Jon- Culo
Lil Jon, Twista, Trick Daddy- Let’s Go
Murphy Lee, Nelly- Hold Up
Lil Flip- Game Over

Ok, only 6 but those are the more recent ones, or at least the ones I have been listening to recently.

The Chevelle Album is great! So is Linkin Park

  • Requiem for a Dream- Hope Overture (NICEEEEEEEE!!! Sik Song and great movie!)

Im more of a hip hop head though here are my picks…

-Nas
-Mobb Deep
-Diplomats
-Old 50 Cent

Anything by rage against the machine, disturbed, linking park etc.

For rap, some eminem (soldier, till i collapse, run rabbit run), victory by the bad boy family…

linkin park songs, nirvana, and clap back by ja rule get me pumped like crazy.

Ok a lot of what i like has been said, but you know what really gets me pumped?
I’m not kidding here either, feel free to laugh —
The music from the Rocky IV training montage where he climbs the 55000 ft mountain in running boots!
SO GOOD!

Dude, I could swear that the rocky series should be shown to every young man and women in america interested in sports. What a motivational tool!!!

“There are few things in life that have the motivational properties of watching an emotional person with motivation.” ~Jay

does anyone here have the song lets go by trick daddy and lil jon the EDITED version…we cant have swearing in our warmups…

thanks

how about movies? any given sunday and varsity blues get me going. i love the line in any given sunday the end gives beanmen when he first gets in. “Better get used to that shit muthafucka, because Ima be pickin peanuts outta yo ass all day!”

My name is Willie (Willie Beaman)
I keep the ladies (creamin) — So good!

“There goes my hero” — just as good!

Chariots of Fire!
Bruce Lee!

Gonna have to say metallica! Anything off the S&M album is enough to get me pumped ready to explode. Other choices would have to be eminem, guns n roses (civil war, welcome to the jungle etc…) or nickelback (breathe)

Grand Champ by DMX is what I’ve been listening too most recently. Bump the Metallica, and Victory too. NIN remix of Victory is a great track.

For me, I get hype with hearing Jungle (Drum and Bass) especially Old Skool like Brockie and MC Dett,Stevie Hyper D,Randall,Jumping Jack Frost,Ray Keith etc.

Also listening to MF Doom aka Vicktor the Slicksta aka Super Villian gets me rolling…For those who don’t know…get to know…this cat is deep on the lyrical tip! Infact I’m looking for a 6.6/6.7 this indoor season and MF Doom is gonna help to get me in the mood for aggressive actions out of the blocks!!!

YES, THAT’S F’N AWESOME!
