Question

What music does michael phelps listen to before a race? ?

Answer 1

I thought that he had a better taste

Answer 2

my man listens to rap!! he knows what good music is!!  

Answer 3

I don't know if I'd call him a "suburban white boy."

Baltimore is a rough city (Bodymore, Murderland).

On top of that his dad was a state trooper. To make it worse he left them when Michael was very young. I'd venture to guess he didn't grow up very privileged.

All that aside he is the best at what he does. I'm not white, I'm not from Baltimore, I'm not even an American and I can't help but cheer for Michael.

Answer 4

lil wayne usually playing the song, im me.  he also listens to young jeezy, mostly hip hop  he said that in an interview with espn

Answer 5

I watched an interview this afternoon where he states that he states Lil Wayne and Weezy plus a little techno here and there. This is an article clip on the subject

"While his pre-race tracklist varies, Phelps has said that "I'm Me" by Lil' Wayne has been on his playlist in Beijing. The track, off Weezy's EP "The Leak" features the line:

Yes I am the best/and no I ain't positive I'm definite/I know the game like I'm reffing

That's about the only lyric that's printable on a family blog.

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."
