Perfect Playlist

The playlist I shall create if for my pre game time on the bus ride or in the locker room. That is a time where you have to think about your responsibilities, know your role, and get pumped up and ready to go out and play. The songs I would choose to put on this five track playlist are "My Moment" by Meek Mill, "Traumatized" by Meek Mill, "Bible on the Dash" by Gunplay, "Mind of a Maniac" by Lil Boosie, and "Lose Yourself" by Eminem. I chose "My Moment" because it was basically designed for these situations, it has a sort of up tempo beat a chorus that says "..just waiting on my moment.." and Meek Mill's lyrics and passion in the song motivate you. Instead of a song that really pumps you up, "My Moment" instead inspires you. "Traumatized" is another Meek Mill song that pumps you up but in a different way. It has a slow beat without really a chorus, it is about some of the troubles in the artist's life and how he overcame them, and it literally sends shivers down my spine every time I listen to it. "Bible on the Dash" by Gunplay is another song that fires you up with a slow beat. Truth be told I do not even know what it is about, but the chorus, beat and sound of all the components of the song get you going. The last two songs "Mind of a Maniac" and "Lose Yourself" are the most popular of the bunch. "Mind of a Maniac" has you bobbing your head ferociously without you even knowing it, the song fires you up and gets you prepared to go to war. "Lose Yourself" well, is the perfect pre game song. You can hear it at any sporting event across the country. It starts off slow without a beat "His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy.." Then Eminem just explodes into a song about having to completely submerging yourself to the task ahead. These songs work so well together because the first three get you inspired and make you think, then the next two get you fired up ready to play.
