The team may not like my playlist, but every time I'm preparing for a game in the locker room, I have the following songs blasting off of my speakers.

1. 'Till I Collapse, Eminem - Yeah, "Lose Yourself" is the more popular Eminem hype song, but I personally find the chorus way more hype-inducing.

"'Til the roof comes off, 'til the lights go out
'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth
'Til the smoke clears out, am I high? Perhaps
I'ma rip this shit 'til my bones collapse"

2. Stronger, Kanye West - First off, let me preface this by saying FUCK KANYE WEST. He's a horrible human being and a disgrace. With that said, I'm a believer in trying to seperate the song from the performer and Stronger has always been one of my favorite hype songs. Early Kanye is one of the best rappers to ever live, it's a shame he turned out to be such a horrible human being.

3. Enter Sandman, Metallica (PARTICULARLY the version from the 1999 concert with the San Francisco Symphony) - It's Enter Sandman, need I say more? The Symphony version is the same song but with a live orchestra backing them up, I reccomend this concert to anyone who likes rock music.

4. Live Wire, Motley Crue - Another personal favorite rock band, it just goes hard.

5. Glorious, Macklemore - Oh hey, Macklemore exists, anyone remember him? This song's a personal favorite, catchy as hell and more importantly a reminder that after all the hell I've been through in my life, I'm still here and I'm grateful for every day I'm alive.
