    Eminem "Lose Yourself"

    I seriously get HYPE when that comes on the ol' iPod while I'm running...plus the beat is a really good running pace (for me).

    Skrillex's Mortal Kombat remix is LEGIT for working out. I love it!!

    Pandora Rap Strength Training station. It's awesome. It has some good beats that help time your reps. Plus it switches songs between fast raps, which are great for sprinting on the treadmill between exercises, to hard raps which give you a little bit of anger to help boost your workout. It really helps to push you through the last set of weights when it gets stressful. ;)

    For the Elliptical- Moments in Love the techno remix 9 minute extended version is killer.
    Most of the Watch the Throne Ablum for general working out.
    For distance running for some reason Chasing the Satellites by the Counting Crows helps me pace a long run
    Otherwise anything gangsta rap or with Jay Z esp. the Collision Course with Linkon Park

    Some old, some new but it works for me.

    for cardio i usually anything from Prodigy, and i also put it on Sirius radio area and the songs that station plays does nothing but make you move! for strength training i usually listen to anything that has a good rhythm. and thats usually classic R&b for me like temptations mostly motown style music and then if i am really into it i will listen to some classic rock just to get me moving a little more..lol
