Monday is quickly becoming my favorite day of the week – it’s time for #MusicMondays!
So I still consider this one of my “get hype” songs to this day. As soon as that beat drops I just get so much energy. Other “get hype” songs include “Party Up” by DMX and “You Can Do It” by Ice Cube.
Oddly enough I really like this song for hills. I’m not sure why but it just fits…and then when I finish the hills I brush my shoulder off 🙂
This isn’t a great song if you’re trying to run on the beat since it’s a little slow but I use it more a a “zone-out” song. If I have a good rhythm going and want to keep my pace this is a good song for that.
I love this song and I have no doubt it will make an appearance on my NYC Marathon playlist!
Other honorable mentions include “On to the Next One”, “Otis”, “D.O.A (Death of Auto Tune) and “Holy Grail”.
What is your favorite JAY-Z song?

Not family friendly at all but so good! And you can't forget the collab he did with the Punjabi MC. That is an awesome Indo Rap!

OMG Smitha – I totally forgot about that song! I used to blast it daily when it first came out, so good!!
