Rap songs that motivate me usually just have an aggressive/uptempo beat and a good chorus and sometimes an aggressive delivery in the verses.
It's not like I sit there and listening to the verses intently while I am working out...that would kill my work-out and would be a bad thing actually.
So, currently I have this as my play-list when working out:
TI - Trap Back Jumpin
TI - Addresses
J Cole - Let Nas Down
Ace Hood ft Lil Wayne - We outchea
Drake - No New Friends
Slaughterhouse - Frat House
JEFFERSON MONEY
