WTF those two pieces are brilliant.

Exact same songs I use.

"Don't let a win get to your head or a loss get to your heart."

Gives you that humble, yet confident feeling.

"Where Christ is, in all of this crisis?"

Brings up religion, desperation, and puts a burden on you, makin u feel stronger temporarily.

All the other high energy songs are basically RedBulls, almost an instant high followed by slowed performance. Those two are gradual and consistent, like low-glycemic carbs.

Requiem is just beautiful. I saw the Kobe/Vince dunk and Art of War version, as well as the Drug decline movie, and LOTR. All four utilized it exceptionally.

[skillswithaz]

This may sound kinda weird and I don't do this for just any game, but when I'm feeling especially pumped up for a game I try to calm down by listening to Pink Floyd. Preferrably stuff like Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Echoes, On the Turning Away, and most importantly Comfortably Numb. That gets me so relaxed and chill. You don't want to be too pumped or you make basic mistakes and rush the game. On the other hand, if I'm feeling kinda tired, I'll pop in some Iron Maiden. Gets me going a little but no real adrenaline yet.

And right before the game starts, I'll listen to Ice Cube, Public Enemy, or DMX.

Kind of strange, I know, but it works like a charm.

[STelfair31]

i kno someone who does the same thing...why?

[CySniper]

The Lordz feat. Tim Armstrong - Outlaw


Reminds me of pistol pete

[jamal99]

I like almost all DMX's songs on warm up
+ Eminem - You don't know ft. 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks and Cashis
MOP - We run New York
Wu Tang Clan - Wu Tang Clan ain't nuthin' to **** with
Iverson ft. Method Man, DMX & Xzibit (don't know the song name)
Chamillinaire - Hip hop police
and many others...

[pelle]

almost any black metal songs

[CelticsFan34]

Burn this City- Lil Wayne and Twista
BM JR- Lil Wayne
Fly In/Fly Out- Lil Wayne

[grimreaper1377]

Rap, rap, and more rap. Along with a little bit of rap. Did I mention rap?

[Bassy JR]

Burn this City- Lil Wayne and Twista
BM JR- Lil Wayne
Fly In/Fly Out- Lil Wayne

[hito da god]

[j Fresh3]

soulja boy

[Unreal Skill]

Go to Sleep- Eminem
Remember the Name- Fort Minor

[STelfair31]

lil wayne best rapper alive is crazy..

[meanmonster]

Ozzy Osbourne
AC/DC
Gun N Roses
Metallica
Hank Williams Jr
Beck

Anything Rocking Out

[jamal99]

Juelz Santana - The Second Coming ft. Just Blaze

and 1 serbian rap song
Beogradski Sindikat - Na Bojnom Polju (viteska)

[Fallguy20]

For me, it all depends on what im getting warmed up for. When im just working out the easy thing to do is just pop in a Disturbed album (hopefully 10,000 Fists) and rock out. Before a game though, its gotta be Soldier-Eminem, No Submission-Static X, and then Ultimate Victory-Chammillionare.
:cheers:

[STelfair31]

Let us pray by lil wayne

I like listening to 50 Cent or Eminem before a game. Sometimes Lil Wayne might do the trick.

[Ives]

2 Unlimited - Get Ready For This
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAXtFBjH83o

[Hoopla]

All good suggestions, but this beats them all-

Lil Wayne

"Hot Revolver"
"With One Arm"

[Splitz77]

i listen to alot of DMX and lil jon... mainly b/c i like high energy rap it pumps me up b4 games or b4 i play

DMX deffinatly pumps me up before a game. I'll just pop in my ipod and then start warming up before warm ups..

If its a ****ty team though and I just want to play with them alot I'll most likely be listening to some Eminem. Songs like We made you..(The funnier songs)

IDK why, but it gets me into the mood where anything I do and any shot i take will be drillin right through the hoop.

DMX though, really consentrates me and makes me think domination throughout the whole game.

[Automajic23]

Cyssero - SWAGG IT OUT RMX
Lux Ataerna - (requiem for a dream theme)
TI - Big things poppin
Jay-Z - Blueprint 2
Crime Mob/LilWayne - Knuck if you buck
Nas - Halftime
Shawty Lo - Dey Know RMX

[r1kk12]

how about nas ft diddy - HATE ME NOW!
psyches me up nicely.

[NY-Knicks]

Hate Me Now - Nas ft. Diddy
Carry On Tradition - Nas
New York State Of Mind - Nas
The Second Coming - Juelz Santana
Bone Bone Bone - Bone Thugz and Harmony
Welcome To New York City - Jay-Z ft. Juelz Santana and Camron
What's Haapnin - Ying Yang Twins
Mass Appeal - Gang Starr
Eazy-E - Real Compton City G's
Shook Ones Part II - Mobb Deep

those are some songs that pump me up if needed.

[STelfair31]

[STelfair31]

Amazing- Kanye West

[GiveItToBurrito]

Get Used To It by Ice Cube, The Game, and someone else, maybe Mack 10
The Crane Wife Parts 1 & 2 by The Decemberists (the bass is the perfect rhythm for your legs when you're jogging)
any kind of sort of ambient or instrumental music, especially The Field
Dukeyman
pretty much anything by Lil Wayne, especially The Carter II
anything by Pimp C or UGK (I spent an entire summer listening to Ridin' Dirty while playing ball)
all of King by TI
and I'm not even going to lie, that Lady Gaga album gets me pumped like crazy
