[PleaseBlitz]

Anything by the Wu Tang Clan.

Bring da Ruckus and Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing ta F' Wit are especially good choices off of Enter the Wu.

[DoubleB123]

Here are a few from my ipod gym mix



Coming undone wit it – Dem Francize Boys and Korn

American Psyco 2 –D12

My Name - Xzibit

Wake Up featuring – The Notorious BIG

If you so Gangsta – Lloyd Banks

S*** Hits the Fan – Obie Trice

Never Scared – Bone Crusher

and a must have Natural Born Killaz – Dr Dre & Ice Cube

I agree with PleaseBlitz wit the Wu Tang Clan - download Ya'll Been Warned.

[SkinsOrlando]

Gameover- Scarface
Hello -MC Ren, Dre, Cube

[MWLthe1st]

Fort Minor (or atleast their one hit), lloyd banks - warriors part 2, obie trice

[RedskinChiefin]

TI - King (the whole album)

Xzibit - Restless (the whole album)

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

Fort Minor is great, 'cept where Shinode feels like he has to curse and ruin some good songs just to fulfill his inner wigger.

Also, "Coming Undone Wit It" is an insult to rock and Korn.

Just like that "Crazy Train" remake :doh:

One more thing: rap is not music: it is noise with a beat......

[jasimpson]

anything by bone thugs, thuggish ruggish ring a bell?

[Air Force Cane]

thanks, I am going to write them down and hook it up tonight..

[PleaseBlitz]

Anything Mobb Deep, Hit'em up by Tupac, Money Power Respect by The Lox, old school SLAM! by Onyx :)

[Cdowwe]

Dexies Midnight RIders....come on Eileen

[halter91]

Public Enemy, Welcome to the Terrordome.

[Diggs]

I take my lifting music very seriously (RATM, Godsmack, Wu-Tang affiliates, etc.)

As far as some more rap for your lifting mix. Get as much M.O.P (Songs: how about some hardcore, Rocky remix feat Jay-Z) and Jedi Mind Tricks (on the eve of war feat. Gza) as possible. Not only will it amp you up to push out that las rep, but you will probably want to fight the guy taking too long on the bench. :laugh:

[chomerics]

Eminem . . . there are a few great ones to workout to, I am kinda preferential to Mosh though ;)

[DCsportsfan53]

I do love that CD, definitely a good one to get pumped up to.

Lol, I'm a HUGE fan of Bone but most of their stuff is probably better for hitting blunts than weights :silly: I'd still work out to them, though, because I love their music and they still have a lot of high energy songs. Just about every song on every CD up through Art of War is off the hook.

I loved his first two albums but everything since sucks ass. I couldn't think of a better workout album than his first two CDs, though.

[twenty-eight]

The game- 300 bars


18 min track with 20? diff beats? He just spits for 18 mins (300 bars, straight)

def a banger

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

I know this may not be your cup of tea, but throw some Korn on there.

From "Let's Get This Party Started" to "Thoughtless" and "Right Now", those songs WILL get you going.

Anything angry and dark will also work.

[Air Force Cane]

good ones- i have about 198 songs now-

some Matrix soundtrack, gladiator,
air force/military songs, patriotic stuff, star wars soundtrack, black hawk down, big and rich, Mr and Mrs Smith,
lots of drumlines, 24, Here comes the boom, die mfer die, godsmack, ramstein,
kid rock, limp bizkit, linkin park...

[TheKurp]

I stopped listening to music while lifting. It's not about how pumped up you get, or how much weight you lift, but proper form and total focus on the muscles you're targeting.

I.e., concentration usually requires no external interference.

See, I see no reason why music should distract somebody from lifting properly and getting a good "pump." I can lift with or without music, but once I got my Ipod, I got spoiled having music to keep me going at the gym. I can get the same boost if there are some good lookin ladies at the gym as well. :D

I can get by lifting w/o music but I sure as hell need it while doing cardio work.

[TheKurp]

But music is just that, a distraction. Otherwise, why would anyone care what they're listening to? I.e., if you're focused on what's playing then you're not focused on proper lifting and the targeted muscles. Can't have it both ways. Studies have shown that listening to music does not improve performance in the weight room.

That said, music is GREAT for aerobic exercise because by very definition you must do it continuously to for at least 20 minutes to derive benefit. Getting lost in the music helps distract you from monotonous exercise and you're likely to do it longer without gettting bored.

[Air Force Cane]

I think it is personal when it comes to that- I just have more energy and am ready to roll when I listen to banging music. it gets me pumped up.

if I didn't have music, I would be tired after a day of work and lethargic.

and yeah, the hotties at Gold's help also :cool:

[rictus58]

Wild Wild West-Kool Moe Dee. :paranoid:

[scskin]

Public Enemy, Welcome to the Terrordome.

May just be me, but music gets my adrenaline up. Adrenaline improves performance in the weight room. THerefore, music improves performance.

[slackermike]

It's not rap, but Anthrax/Pantera/System of a Down really gets me moving when I'm at the gym.

I think you can find a pretty good balance between being distracted and using it appropriately.

That said, I listen to mostly rock while working out (RATM, Godsmack, Disturbed, Korn, Rob Zombie, etc.) but I've got a few rap songs to suggest (some of which have already been mentioned but I'm just listing everything I've got on my playlist, so if it's a repeat, consider it an endorsement):

BT feat. the Roots- Tao of the Machine (from Blade II soundtrack)
Crystal Method feat. Ryu- Name of the Game
Fort Minor- Remember the Name
Lil Jon feat. Trick Daddy/Twista- Let's Go
Ludacris feat. Sum 41- Get Back Rock Remix
Nappy Roots- Aw Naw Rock Remix
Nelly- Heart of a Champion, Errtime, Boom
T.I.- What You Know
Three 6 Mafia- Stay Fly
Outkast- Bombs Over Baghdad
Public Enemy feat Anthrax- Bring the Noise
Knoc'turnal- My Muzik

[hu-bison-skinsfan]

I don't lift weights but for exercising I like:

Ambitionz of a Ridah - Tupac ("you don't wanna f with me...")
Break Em Off Somethin' - Master P featuring UGK

[LiveStrongSkins]

Fort Minor is great, 'cept where Shinode feels like he has to curse and ruin some good songs just to fulfill his inner wigger.

Also, "Coming Undone Wit It" is an insult to rock and Korn.

Just like that "Crazy Train" remake :doh:

One more thing: rap is not music: it is noise with a beat......

What a ignorant post. I'm not a huge fan of rock but do you see me saying it isnt music? Take your unwanted opinion somewhere else if you cant contribute to the thread.

[LiveStrongSkins]

A Couple Grand- Young Joc

Kinda graphic, but a good beat and strong lyrics that will be sure to make you get a few extra reps on the bench press.

Also, some Jeezy would do the trick.

[Burger35]

The main rap music I have for my weight lifting tape is
MOP
Mobb Deep
DMX
ONYX
Not because I love all their songs (even though there are good ones) but because the beats and sound sem to push me.
Honorable mentions are
Eminen "I am"
Jay-z and MOP " Welcome to he roc"
and most new Dip Set

On Rock it would be
Linkin Parks 1 st album
Stainds 1 st album
Slipnot
System of a Down

I have been lifting weight a long time and find that this music helps push me. I never work out alone with no music. Never.
