Need a change of pace from the rock and alternative I normally listen to when training …
Any recommendations for hard, driving rap that’s good for lifting? Songs, artists, whatever …
Cheers

Ok, im sad. Just some of my preferred rap music.
For the record, I think Get By is an awesome song to work out to.
Oh yeah, Mobb Deep too.

Actually anything of Jedi Mind Tricks. Early Mobb Deep albums, DMX, etc.
When I think of Rap music that makes me wanna punch someone in the face, DMX is all that comes to mind.
Born to Win by Papoose isn’t necessarily “heavy” rap, but it’s a good song to lift to. DMX is good, as is Tupac and even some Eminem tracks. Hellrazor is a good one, as is Til I Collapse.
Early albums by Brotha Lynch Hung and any Black Market Records (Brotha Lynch Hung’s label) stuff in general. Spice 1’s first couple albums. Mr. Mike’s first couple albums. DMX’s first album and some of his second. Early Ice Cube, some early Three 6 Mafia/Prophet Posse, really early no limit stuff like Down South Hustlers, TRU(and I am weary of recommending this for fear of ridicule but…screw it) Method Man, Tupac, Ol Dirty Bastard, Thug Life…I could think of a million more but this should hold you off for now.
Ghost ride the whip! rap is no good.
Sepultura
Pantera
Alice in Chains
I’ve been feelin Game lately.
I’m gonna have to go with R. Kelly or Cassidy, maybe even a little usher.
Now seriously…
Some of Eminem’s songs, not the more pop ones, but like “Soldier” and “Go to Sleep” (with DMX)
DMX and 2Pac were good advice
I like some of the “harder” 50 cent songs, favorites include “blood hound,” “patiently waiting,” “back down”
Coolio - Gangstas Paradise is also one that i enjoy
