Rick Ross, Jay-Z Among Olympian's Favorites
Published: Wednesday - August 20, 2008

Eight-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps has let it be known that he habitually listened to hip-hop while psyching himself up to race. According to a recent New York Times profile: "The music transforms him. His goofy grin dissolves into a glower, his eyes turn cold as ice. The hip-hop beats have a hypnotic effect on Phelps, who sometimes, after a race, is unable to recall the songs that locked him into his groove."

Phelps says Rick Ross and Jay-Z are two of the artists he prefers for motivation. According to Yahoo.com, the 23-year-old's iPod playlist during his historic Olympic turn read as follows.

1. "Overnight Celebrity" - Twista

2. "Burn" - Usher

3. "Roses" - Outkast

4. "Till I Collapse" - Eminem

5. "Smile" - G Unit

6. "A Milli" - Lil' Wayne

7. "Hustlin" - Rick Ross

8. "Hello Brooklyn 2.0" - Jay-Z (featuring Lil Wayne)

9. "I Got What It Takes" - Young Jeezy
