Lil Wayne: Music of Champions
I have been completely addicted to the Olympics since they started, and like many of you I am wrapped up in Michael Phelps' quest for 8 gold medals. I can't help but notice that Michael, like many athletes, keeps his headphones on until right before he takes the plunge. My curiosity got the best of me, so I started digging around to see what is on his playlist. Hip-hop news reports:
When asked by The Today Show what music he listens to while preparing to swim, Phelps paused before replying "Lil Wayne, 'I'm Me."
More digging reveals this from Yahoo! Sports:
Other artists that populate Phelps' iPod include: Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, Eminem and Outkast. (What, no 'Pac?) Occasionally, he'll throw some techno into the mix, but usually keeps things rap-centric. Phelps doesn't speak much about the specific songs he's listening to, but he did tell NBC in 2004 that Eminem's "'Til I Collapse" was on his most-played list at Athens. In 2005, he created a playlist for the website Rhapsody that included the songs "Roses" by Outkast, "Burn" by Usher, "Overnight Celebrity" by Twista and "Smile" by G-Unit.
I don't know about you, but I plan to immediately add "I'm Me" to my workout playlist. I'll let you know if if I start beating my splits on the treadmill.

To accomplish both comfortably, you don't desire to have the literary sensibility of terrific authors, but you do need to accomplish certain issues, a number of which we will contemplate it within the approaching paragraphs. Typically, no matter what I do, I all feel twice of them.
