I was inspired to listen to a few new artists at the gym recently by an FD Signifier video on how lately female rappers are going hard in a way you can lift to while recent male rappers have mostly been going for a more, calm, rambling flow that is probably better for when you’re relaxing on drugs or driving or something.

So I picked a couple of the female rappers he mentioned that were newer than my aged music tastes (Latto, Megan Thee Stallion, etc.) and added some of their songs to my lifting playlist and ya, some of their songs went pretty hard.

I’m wondering if there are any other good artists I’m missing out on keeping the same rotation forever, so I thought I’d ask the class.

What songs do you listen to when trying to get pumped at the gym?

    Bleed - Meshuggah

    Parpaing - Igorrr

    Manufactured Extinct - Cattle Decapitation

    If I’m doing cardio I find Amon Amarth always has a steady beat that’s great for keeping pace. Their music is samey but it works
