I hope your week is going great so far!
It’s time for another Tunes Tuesday linkup with Steff from Run Steff Run and Kimberly from Kooky Runner. We’re so excited to have you share your favorite music with us each week! We’re looking for inspiration for our running and workout playlists and even a “jog” down memory lane as you share your favorite jams! The theme this week is pump up music and I’m sharing a few of my hip-hop favorites!
I’m also sharing my playlist with Angela and Ilka for the Sunday Fitness and Food linkup and Marcia, Patty, and Erika for Tuesdays on the Run!

Tunes Tuesday: Pump Up Hip-Hop Music
I’m so excited to be back for another week of Tunes Tuesday! The third Tuesday of the month is dedicated to pump up music, so I decided to create a playlist solely dedicated to this theme and each month, I’ll add a different type of pump up music to share as part of Tunes Tuesday!
In case you missed it, here are the Tunes Tuesday posts I’ve shared so far:
To kick off the year’s Tunes Tuesday Pump Up Playlist, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite hip-hop music that can get me amped up! I tend to keep things “throwback”, though I do have a couple of newer songs on the list. I hope you enjoy it, as I tried to pick some slightly less predictable tunes, and maybe it’ll pump you up on your next long run or workout! Feel free to follow the playlist on Spotify!
Featured Hip-Hop Artists: Pump Up Music
Notorious B.I.G. – I still really love Hypnotize…keeping it old school!
50 Cent – What Up Gangsta….hey, don’t judge me!
Busta Rhymes – Touch It was such a huge hit and of course I love anything tangentially related to Daft Punk!
Fat Joe, Remy Ma, Jay Z, French Montana – All the Way Up…I can’t ignore how much this song gets me hype!
Drake – 0 to 100….real quick! It’s a catchy song!
LL Cool J – Headsprung…I still remember this music video with Timbaland who was clearly going to the same gym as LL!
DMX – There were too many great DMX songs to choose from but I haven’t heard What’s My Name in a long time…it’s an intense song!
Nelly – Flap Your Wings is really catchy song produced by the Neptunes…doesn’t get much better!
Ludacris – Ludacris has some great anthems like Move, but I hadn’t listened to Get Back in years…this song really takes you back!
Missy Elliott/Eve – 4 My People is a really great song that with a lot of energy that I just love!
Eminem – Just Lose It is a silly song but it makes me want to dance, haha!
T.I. – One of the first T.I. songs that I really enjoyed was Bring Em Out…Swizz Beatz did a great job with this song!

What are some of your favorite hip-hop songs to get you amped up? What songs did I miss?
I still act like a fool when Touch It comes on the radio, especially the remix version, lol. I love all yout song selections this week!
Did you ever see when they performed the Touch It Remix on the BET Awards years ago? At the very end, Eminem came out and killed it! Now I need to find it again on Youtube!
I love the old 2000 hits. I am not afraid to admit I love some 50 cent and Eminem. Even some JaRule, remember him? It really gives me that extra pep in my step during my runs.
I have to say I’m stuck in the past, haha! Yes, I remember Ja Rule and I really enjoyed him when he was at his peak!
I may have had some Eminem singing to me on my run today.
Eminem is always great!
Some of these are new to me and some I have not heard in a long time! Thanks for the new ideas
Glad I could provide a little inspiration!
WOW! Yet again, you nailed it! This list is taking me BACK to my college days! Lots of great “pumped up” jams indeed! Get Back used to be my anthem (Ha!) If this doesn’t motivate me during my workouts, nothing will. Thanks for sharing!
I’m glad you like my picks, Jennifer! I definitely thought of you when I added Get Back to my playlist! 😉
This is a fantastic playlist. I might have to snag it. 🙂
Please do, Rachel! 🙂
Great choices for the hip hop playlist!!
Thanks, Wendy! 🙂
So does my Beastie Boys collection count?? 🙂
I really need to check them out, I barely know any of their music…they definitely count!
