Eminem – Rap God (Explicit)

Eminem, a rapper from the United States whose high-level skills are recognized worldwide.

His track “Rap God” is one of his songs where you can especially savor that skill.

As proof, the song holds a Guinness World Record as the “hit single with the most words.” The speed of his rapid-fire rap is astounding—starting at 4:28, he raps 97 words in roughly 15 seconds.

Because the tempo is extremely fast, it’s recommended for anaerobic running workouts!

JoeyStarr is a rapper who’s respected as a legend by heads in the French hip-hop scene.

With a hardcore rap style, he’s highly regarded by both mainstream and underground heads.

The sound is extremely hardcore, so it’s highly recommended for heavy weight training sessions.

Its energetic heavy metal sound makes it a great recommendation for intense running routines or weight training.

50 Cent is an artist who’s active not only as a rapper but also as an entrepreneur and boxing promoter.

In the American hip-hop scene, when people think of a thug-style rapper, many would name him.

The beat is insanely cool, so it’s a great BGM recommendation for heavy lifting sessions.

Where The Hood At?DMX

DMX – Where The Hood At? (Dirty) (Music Video) HQ

DMX, the legendary American rapper who was hugely active in the late 1990s.

While many rappers from that era still stick to an old-school style today, he kept catching trends throughout his long career.

One of his most acclaimed classics, “Where The Hood At?,” is a work marked by that good old-school rap feel.

It’s an extremely energetic track, so I think it’s perfect for activities like weight training.

BreakThree Days Grace

Three Days Grace – Break (Official Video)

Three Days Grace is a Canadian rock band known as a leading force in alternative metal and post-grunge.

Their hallmark is an extremely hard, razor-sharp sound, and some songs even feature fast tempos reminiscent of thrash metal.

Break is one of their signature tracks, a standout piece with that crisp, punchy sound.

I think it pairs better with training that uses lighter weights and higher reps rather than heavy weightlifting.
