Re: Custom Sounds and Misc Clips

I think what we should do is get as many people as possible done, then once you are ready to start your franchise or whatever you can just use other guys music for players who we don't know what they use.

If it's a latino - use some latin music from another latino player
If it's a black guy - use some other players rap
If it's a country boy - use another players country walkup or rock

atleast that way you don't have 55% with walkup music and 45% withut

Yep. That's one of the reasons I'm grabbing everything I can and what others give just for a buffer for those players we don't have the "official" stuff for.

The latino music is tough to find - hopefully we can find enough that we can back fill the others with existing lation music and still get enough variety

Re: Custom Sounds and Misc Clips

there has to be like a "thing" that has top 100 latina music on the net somewhere

Re: Custom Sounds and Misc Clips

Guys,
I do not know how to cut the songs and stuff, but I did find an MLB Link to all the Reds starting lineup walkup songs as of 09/28/08/ Everyone except Paul Bako and Corey Patterson is still presently on the team. (I deleted them below)

Link: http://mlb.mlb.com/content/printer_f...4/c3418453.jsp

Actual Article: This walkup songs and why they choose them. Hope this helps. See 6 players below and as of end of 08 season!!!
PS- Some have multiple song choices selected below that interchangeably play, but the first song is their MAIN song.

09/04/2008 12:21 PM ET
By Doug Miller and Brandon Harris / MLB.com


The Cincinnati Reds play in one of the smaller and cozier stadiums in baseball, a place where you can comfortably see the diamond from every seat, watch homers fly out of the yard at alarming rates, and hear the loud music that announces the Reds' hitters as they stride to the plate.


MLB.com/Entertainment has been getting to the bottom of the Major League tradition of walk-up music all season long by going from clubhouse to clubhouse and soliciting cutting-edge commentary from the players, the organizational brass, and some of the best music critics in the business. Song choices will change over the course of the 2008 campaign for various -- and often superstitious -- reasons, but rest assured that we'll feature the songs straight from the players' plate play lists at press time.

Here are the Reds' tunes:

Hitters

Jeff Keppinger, SS
Song: "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" by AC/DC
Keppinger: "I have no idea. It's just whatever they've thrown up there. I didn't choose it."
Critic commentary: "Given this shortstop's batting average vs. the amount he's getting paid relative to, say, Miguel Tejada, I'd say yes, this song works."--Whitney Pastorek, Senior Writer, Entertainment Weekly


Brandon Phillips, 2B
Songs: "Snap and Roll" by Soulja Boy; "Get Silly" by V.I.C. featuring Soulja Boy; "The Boss" by Rick Ross featuring T-Pain; "Umma Do Me" by Rocko; "Let Me Get 'Em" by Soulja Boy; "Crank Dat Batman" by Pop It Off Boyz
Phillips: "The songs that I have, they're songs that get me motivated and give me energy to go up there and hit. And there are others that describe me as a person. I like 'Get Silly' because I'm a silly person. I like 'The Boss' because I feel like I'm the boss, like I'm the man. Sometimes you have to feel like that. I like 'Umma Do Me' because I feel like I've got to do what I've got to do to help the team. I like playing songs that describe me as a person. Some songs that describe me as a person also motivate me to get things done."
Critic commentary: "Look, Brandon, we get it: With the exception of the Rick Ross ditty, you like the sort of non-melodic crunk-hop songs featuring irritating repeated catch phrases that tend to be featured in those late-night commercials encouraging you to text a random number to some other random number to get a free ringtone. I can only suggest getting more sleep."--Whitney Pastorek, Senior Writer, Entertainment Weekly


Joey Votto, 1B
Song: "Black Betty" by Ram Jam
Votto: "I didn't choose it. They just gave it to me. To be honest, when I'm going up to bat, I don't hear a single thing. I'm just concentrating on hitting."
Critic commentary: "Is that Freedom Rock, man? Well, turn it up, man! The Toronto-born Votto swings for the fence on this one. One-hit wonder? Check. Ridiculous band name? Check. Unapologetic and proud Southern rock? You betcha." --Jim Welte, freelance music writer


Edwin Encarnacion, 3B
Song: "Alo" by Los Hermanos Rosario
Critic commentary: "Nice horns, solid rhythms, excellent Dominican flavor equals another one of those generic salsa/merengue numbers that are perfect for a hot summer afternoon at the ballpark. You know, ballparks should really serve more umbrella drinks in general." --Whitney Pastorek, Senior Writer, Entertainment Weekly


Jay Bruce, RF
Song: "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath; "Don't Bring Me Down" by Electric Light Orchestra
Bruce:: "I didn't pick those. I haven't picked any, so I don't really care."
Critic commentary: "Yes, yes, 'Iron Man,' you are one, I am dozing off, and then -- A-WOO-hoo, what's this?? Jay Bruce, kudos to you for the first truly wonderful and unexpected batting music I've been asked to judge in this 2008 season. It's harmonic and catchy, it's family-friendly, and most of all, it's fresher than a day-old kitten. Well done, sir!" --Whitney Pastorek, Senior Writer, Entertainment Weekly

Jerry Hairston Jr., IF/OF
Songs: "Kiss Kiss" by Chris Brown featuring T-Pain; "Top Down" by Swizz Beatz
Hairston: "I've got the best songs out of anybody. They're just a couple songs I like. There's no reason. I needed to pick songs, and at the time, those were the songs I liked."
Critic commentary: "Hairston looks to get his swerve on with two club hits. The first features Brown and T-Pain laying down the burden of having too many girls to choose from. On the second, super-producer Swizz Beatz tries to fend off the haters by riding with his top down. Owning a convertible never seemed so vital." --Jim Welte, freelance music writer

[KJWILLIAMS1]

Re: Custom Sounds and Misc Clips

Same as Reds above, but for Dodgers. Again, I dont know how to cut and edit the songs, but here they are.

Link: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article_ente...ment&fext=.jsp

Kept Andruw Jones (Who just signed with the Rangers), but took out Nomar (FA), and Kent (retired)

So here's the best of Chavez Ravine, new and old:

Lineup


1. Rafael Furcal, SS
Song: "Los Venganza de los Pelados" by Los Lobos
Critic commentary: "Opposing teams should definitely be scared of any leadoff hitter who comes to the plate with that kind of look in his eye, backed by a song whose title begins with 'The Revenge.'" --Kenny Herzog, Editor-in-Chief, CMJ New Music Monthly


2. Russell Martin, C
Songs: "Touch the Sky" by Kanye West (alternate: "I Can't Drive 55" by Sammy Hagar)
Martin: "I like a wide variety of music, but 'Touch the Sky' is probably one of my favorites just because the beginning of the song gets me amped a little bit and gets me ready to go. When it comes on (at the stadium), I hear it and it gives me a good feeling. Every time I hear it off the field, it makes me think of when I go hit."
Critic commentary: "Presumably, the once unstoppably productive catcher is hoping this Kanye cut will catalyze his ability to hit more balls toward the far reaches of Dodger Stadium." --Kenny Herzog, Editor-in-Chief, CMJ New Music Monthly


3. Matt Kemp, RF
Songs: "The Boss" by Rick Ross and "Umma Do Me" by Rocko
Kemp: "Your walk-up music is everything to you. It's your at-bat, man. It gets you ready. It gets you going, and they gotta play it loud so you can feel it and get hyped. Get hyped, boy ... it is what it is. When a new song comes out, I usually think if that would be a good walk-up song. That is how I did it in the past: 'That would be a tight walk-up song.' It always changes."
Critic commentary: "If Rick Ross is the new Biggie, does that make Matt Kemp the new Mike Marshall?" --Saul Austerlitz, freelance critic for Boston Globe and other publications

5. James Loney, 1B
Song: "Still Will" by 50 Cent featuring Akon
Loney: "I just like the beat. It kind of gets the crowd into it and livens up the game."
Critic commentary: "The skittering, ADD beat seems to say, 'called third strike,' but the muted, gliding horns say 'base-knock to left.'" --Saul Austerlitz, freelance critic for Boston Globe and other publications


6. Andruw Jones, CF
Song: "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley and the Wailers
Critic commentary: "'Don't worry about a thing, 'cause everything's gonna be alright,' is the perfect positive message for a guy with a 50-homer season in his resume. The Caribbean roots he shares with Bob don't hurt, either." --Jennifer "J-Dog" Odell, Editor, BobMarley.com

8. Andre Ethier, OF
Song: "Still D.R.E." by Dr. Dre
Ethier: "I've had times where maybe you're not all the way locked in and pumped up for that at-bat, and you hear the music playing and you get that good feeling back. It's one of those associations where you've had success with familiar themes in a song or a similar situation and you might not be feeling so well and you hear that again and it might bring those positive thoughts back into your mind. It gets your blood flowing and that association."
Critic commentary: "You'd think he'd choose a song by the Canadian indie rocker who shares his name (and even sang the National Anthem at Dodger Stadium last year), but alas, if Dre's latter-day classic gives Ethier a 'chronic' propensity for reaching base, who are we to quibble?" --Kenny Herzog, Editor-in-Chief, CMJ New Music Monthly


9. Juan Pierre, OF
Song: "My Struggle" by Lil Boosie
Critic commentary: "The chorus goes, 'You don't know my struggle, so you can't feel my hustle,' but every Dodgers fan already knows Pierre's base-stealing hustle." --Saul Austerlitz, freelance critic for Boston Globe and other publications

More to come....... Hope this helps!! Again as of end of 08 season.

Re: Custom Sounds and Misc Clips

I have about 5 songs on my cpu of some latin music which I know some mets players use. I can post some stuff when I get back home

[KJWILLIAMS1]

Re: Custom Sounds and Misc Clips

CUBS- BTW, These are all MLB.com written and approved articles at the end of the 08 Season, so they are ALL current. If you click on the links I have provided, it takes you to the team I have linked. On the side is EVERY team broken down with the music for their STARTING lineup of the last week of the 08 season. This should give us the ability to get ALL teams done quickly and noty have to search around much. I am willing to do cut and edit the music if someone teaches me how. I will contribute in any way I am needed to make The Show 09 that much better.

Link: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article_ente...ment&fext=.jsp

1. Alfonso Soriano - "Happy Days" theme
Alfonso/The Fonz, you get it.

2. Ryan Theriot - "Tiger Rag"
Theriot played college ball for the LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge, where the tune played religiously at football games. Reaching for a college fight song is a Pressy staple. He used Southern California music for former Trojan Mark Prior.

3. Derrek Lee - "Dare Me" by the Pointer sisters
"Derrek Lee" and "Dare Me" sound similar. Pressey also favors "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" by Jim Croce, again stretching Lee's name.

4. Aramis Ramirez - "You're Sixteen" by Johnny Burnette
Ramirez wears No. 16, simple enough.

5. Kosuke Fukudome - "Fu-Ku-Do-Me" chant
Pressy must not be familiar with Japanese pop stars Seiko Matsuda and Hikaru Utada.

6. Geovany Soto - a Latin beat of some sort
Soto is a San Juan, Puerto Rico native.

9. Rich Harden - "A Hard Day's Night" by the Beatles
For the record, Harden was born 11 years after the Beatles broke up.

About half of the Major League parks use on organ, but Wrigley is the only one to use organ music for at-bat songs, Pressy said.

"When you walk into Wrigley Field, it's a cathedral of baseball," he said. "I think the organ makes you feel like you're going back in time to a simpler time."

Again, all teams are on the side of the link listed out by AL and NL and by division. I will list them all if need be. Thanks

[KJWILLIAMS1]

Re: Custom Sounds and Misc Clips

NATIONALS-

Link: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article_ente...ment&fext=.jsp

Hitters

Cristian Guzman, SS
Song:"Lean Back" by Terror Squad
Guzman: "I didn't pick it. I don't care."
Critic commentary: "If only Fat Joe's chest-thumping rhymes could help the humble shortstop lean back clear all the way to Opening Day, when the Nationals still felt like they had a shot at the playoffs. At least Guzman's 2008 All-Star Game seamless stint at third base was memorable."
--Anne Marie Cruz, Staff Editor, People Magazine


Ryan Zimmerman, 3B
Song: "Superstar" by Lupe Fiasco featuring Matthew Santos
Zimmerman: "I didn't pick the song. It doesn't matter to me."
Critic commentary: "Lupe's chill vibe paired with Matthew Santos' plaintive, Coldplay-ish singing doesn't quite betray the tough times that the Nats third baseman and his teammates must be stuck in, even if the former Virginia Cav did tell the Baltimore Sun, 'We know what we're in for here. It's not like we have a $100 million team out there losing 12 in a row.'"
--Anne Marie Cruz, Staff Editor, People Magazine


Austin Kearns, RF
Song: "I Go Back" by Kenny Chesney; "Johnny Cash" by Jason Aldean
Kearns: "I like country music. Switch it around, it's easy to pick any (song). There's no particular thing that sticks out."
Critic commentary: "The twangy, nostalgic ditty by Chesney, the hardest-working singer in country music, could have Kearns -- a stoic, play-through-the-pain kinda guy -- longing for a time when he didn't have post-surgery stiffness in his elbow. Meanwhile, 'Cash,' the Macon, Ga.-born Aldean's boot-stomping road-trip song, is perfect for this injury-prone right-fielder, who just may be headed out of town after the season."
--Anne Marie Cruz, Staff Editor, People Magazine


Lastings Milledge, CF

Song: "Change Clothes" by Jay-Z
Milledge: "Just whatever sounds good. It doesn't really do too much. I don't really get into the walk-out music, it doesn't really matter."
Critic commentary: "With the playoffs out of the question for months, this talented center fielder is apparently already thinking about the after-party. This smoothed-out track is all about getting your groove on with the ladies. We'll have to wait and see if the 23-year-old Milledge has the clout to land a Beyonce-type companion."
--Jim Welte, freelance music writer

Jesus Flores, C

Song: "Na de na" by Angel and Khriz
Flores: "The song makes me get pumped up and I like to hear it. I like to listen when I'm walking to home plate -- it makes me feel more energy."
Critic commentary: "The Venezuelan goes with a reggaeton hit from the club-friendly duo of Angel and Khriz. The track -- the video for which features a Shakira look-a-like dancing in a cage -- has all the hallmarks of reggaeton: thumping bass line, bouncy synths, grating raps and a hilariously repetitive chorus."
--Jim Welte, freelance music writer

Willie Harris, LF

Song: "Dey Know" by Shawty Low
Harris: "I didn't pick it. I don't listen to that stuff. I don't care about all the music."
Critic commentary: "One of the members of the group that brought the world the ringtone hit 'Laffy Taffy' is back for more. Set to an excellent beat that features marching band-style horn breaks, Lo raises the inflection of his voice at the end of each line, holding the last word. The result is some sort of cross between gangsta lean and goo-goo-ga-ga baby talk. And awful. Harris should stick to the instrumental version."
--Jim Welte, freelance music writer

Re: Custom Sounds and Misc Clips

ROCKIES-

Hitters

Clint Barmes, IF
Song: "Back From Where I Come From" by Kenny Chesney
Barmes: "Country music's my favorite, and that was the one they gave me in '05 when I started the season. I like the song, and it kind of grew on me that year. I had some success early, so I never changed it."
Critic commentary: "This is. The slowest. Kenny Chesney. Song. Ever. Clint! For the love of all that is holy! Why you wants to be putting the crowd to sleepytime? The air is thin enough up there! Switch it up: 'Living in Fast Forward,' maybe, or 'Never Wanted Nothing More.' That way you keep your Kenny, but don't lose your audience." --Whitney Pastorek, Senior Writer, Entertainment Weekly


Garrett Atkins, 1B
Song: "The Way I Are" by Timbaland
Atkins: "Spilly (Ryan Spilborghs) introduced me to it, and people seemed to like it, so I stuck with it. I liked the beat and the intro, and kind of went with it. I'm not real good at picking out songs to come up to bat with, so I let the other guys help me out."
Critic commentary: "What's funny about this is that Timbaland might have, in fact, used Garrett's would-be namesake diet to help slim down and bulk up in recent months."--Kenny Herzog, music/pop culture critic


Brad Hawpe, RF
Song: "Rockstar" by Nickelback
Hawpe: "I picked it a while back -- a year or two ago. It was just a song I heard at the time. There's nothing too big to that. I've been meaning to change it, but I haven't had time to think of anything else."
Critic commentary: "As perhaps the only working member of the current music press who will admit to a fascination with and begrudging fondness for Nickelback (50 million derivative rock fans can't be wrong?), I applaud Brad for putting this out there. But again, 'Rockstar' is hardly the band's most energetic track; 'Animals,' for example, is way more pumped up." --Whitney Pastorek, Senior Writer, Entertainment Weekly


Ian Stewart, 3B
Song: "Figure.09" by Linkin Park
Stewart: "I didn't pick the song. It was just the one they gave me when I came up here, but I kind of like the way it starts."
Critic commentary: "I suppose the kids these days aren't too keen about that 'Love Potion' of the same numerical appointment." --Kenny Herzog, music/pop culture critic


Troy Tulowitzki, SS
Song: "Gimme More" by Britney Spears
Tulowitzki: "We always played it in the locker room and stuff, and everybody liked it, so I decided to make it my song. It was 'I'm A Flirt' by R. Kelly, but I changed it earlier (this season) because I was (slumping). Now I've got a couple hits with this one, so I'm just sticking with it. I don't really like Britney Spears except for this song."
Critic commentary: "Really, Troy? Really. I mean: seriously?"--Whitney Pastorek, Senior Writer, Entertainment Weekly


Jeff Baker, 2B
Song: "GZ and Hustlas" by Snoop Dogg
Baker: "I like the bass line in it. I just like old-school rap -- Snoop and Dre and all those guys, man. I enjoy listening to that."
Critic commentary: "Despite the fact that Baker bears closer resemblance to New York sports reporter Chris Cotter than one of Snoop's posse, it's a motivating enough piece of music to come up and bash to." --Kenny Herzog, music/pop culture critic

Batters:

Chone Figgins, 3B
Song: "Speedin'" by Rick Ross
Figgins: "I just liked the song. It's more of just a motivation thing to relax. You hear the music and you go up and relax instead of being tense. If you don't have music, you start concentrating on where to put your hands, like 'How do I do this?' With the music you just get up there and relax. I hear it. When you're on the road you don't hear anything, so when you get home, at least for 81 days, you get to hear your own music."
Critic commentary: "One hundred fifty-five stolen bases in three seasons undoubtedly gives you the right to do a little bragging; 'Figgy' is indeed speedin'." --Saul Austerlitz, freelance critic for Boston Globe and other publications


Gary Matthews Jr. OF/DH
Song: "Show Me What You Got" by Jay-Z
Matthews: "It's just a beat that I like, a song that I like. I like the artist, too. I've been doing Jay-Z for a while. I've always got a Jay-Z song somewhere in the lineup. I've stuck with the artist for a while because it's worked. I've had him for about four years. The question du jour every season is what you coming out to this year? Sometimes you go to a stadium and there is a guy that is playing your song and you just played him back at your place and you know he stole your song. You admire guys that do that. You give them a hard time but you know they got it from you because you know you had it first."
Critic commentary: "Jigga's snake-charmer horns are downright ridiculous. Can there be a better batting song than this?" --Saul Austerlitz, freelance critic for Boston Globe and other publications


Torii Hunter, CF
Songs: "Umma Do Me" by Rocko
Hunter: "It kind of gets you locked in. All you need is a few seconds, whatever, when you're walking up. It gets your focus. You might not get a hit, but it feels like you're ready to do something. Most of the players out there, whatever floats your boat -- slow music, country music, R&B, hip-hop -- whatever it is, those seconds when you're walking up to the plate gets you locked in. When I'm driving down the street and I put the CD in, man, it's amazing. I get in the same frame of mind. I get locked it when I come to the stadium. Then I can hear it in a restaurant or a bar, whatever, it's the same thing. I'm like, 'Wow.' I start bobbing my head. You want to get a hit. It's pretty weird, I can't explain it."
Critic commentary: "The synthesizers whoosh like an airplane taking off for the chorus, but don't you want to come to bat with a slightly more team-friendly message than, 'Umma do me?'" --Saul Austerlitz, freelance critic for Boston Globe and other publications


Howard Kendrick, 2B
Song: "Get Buck" by Young Buck
Kendrick: "It's just actually something that I like in a song. Most of the guys that have songs listen to it and it's about the hitter playing the game or something that gets them pumped up. It is a personal choice and for me, the song that I come out to is something that I like and I like the beat. It is just something that got me going a little bit. For the most part, come-out songs are either the hottest song right now or stuff that guys like. Maybe there are some words in there that are baseball-related. Like 'Speedin.' If you're a faster guy you might use a song like 'Speedin'. If you listen to a lot of guy's songs, you'll hear that a lot of them are sports-related. You can hear it when it comes on and you come out from the on-deck circle and the announcer says your name. But it's not like I'm going to stand on deck and wait for them to play my come-out song. It is something that you know is kind of like your trademark. Baseball and music, I think, there is a fine relationship, or any sport and music, it seems like it goes hand in hand."
Critic commentary: "The killer beat and menacing brass lick should have the injury-riddled infielder amped to get back and do the slam thing." --Anne Marie Cruz, Staff Editor, PEOPLE magazine


Mike Napoli, C
Song: "Yahhh!" by Soulja Boy
Napoli: "I just liked it. We usually play it in here after games that we win and I just liked it. It's the kind of music that I listen to. You hear it, but it's not like you're waiting to hear it. I'm locked in and hitting. If I'm not playing that day or on the road, I listen to other people's songs, but it doesn't really fire me up or anything."
Critic commentary: "People, there's a reason LeBron said there's no comparison between Soulja Boy and Jay-Z. This is one brainlessly repetitive song. At the very least it gets the message across that Napoli wants the opposing pitchers to 'get out my face.' Yahhh, trick, yahhh!" --Anne Marie Cruz, Staff Editor, PEOPLE magazine


Jeff Mathis, C
Song: "Breath" by Breaking Benjamin
Mathis: "There are a lot of different reasons I picked the song. But mostly it's personal. I like the drums. I've been playing a lot of Rock Band. I have to pay attention to all the drum parts."
Critic commentary: "This one might be an understandably rousing rock hit, but fortunately, most Angels fans don't have to worry about catching theirs with top-notch signal-caller Mathis behind the plate." --Kenny Herzog, Contributing Editor, Heeb Magazine/Freelance Music Critic

Hitters

Rickie Weeks, 2B
Song: "Adrenaline Rush" by Twista
Weeks: "I picked it. It's just an instrumental. It has a beat that I've always been fond of. A lot of times (a walk-up song) is just supposed to loosen you up or make you feel up to a game, something to make you feel good I guess."
Critic commentary: "It's been a struggle for the former No. 2 draft pick, with late-game mistakes in the field and a lack of patience at the plate. You'd think the last thing the guy needs is an adrenaline rush. But this is an intriguing pick, with Chicago's Twista rapping at a mile-a-minute pace." --Jim Welte, freelance music writer


J.J. Hardy, SS
Song: "Flower" by Moby
Hardy: "The first time I heard the song was at the beginning of 'Gone in 60 Seconds' and I thought it was a pretty cool song. I just kind of like the beat. I don't really listen to a whole lot of music, so I don't have a lot of songs I could come out to. To be honest, I could care less what song I come out to."


Ryan Braun, LF
Song: "Go Getta" by Young Jeezy
Braun: "I picked it last year. It was one of my favorite songs at the time and I've had some success with that song, so I stuck with it. Everybody has his own personal reasons for what song he chooses, but for me, it's just a song that I like that has worked for me."
Critic commentary: "No Matisyahu for the 'Hebrew Hammer?' Instead we get a rapper who can't write a rhyme, reciting tired boasts over a generic synth beat. We'll bite our tongue because Braun continues to be one the best young hitters in the game." --Jim Welte, freelance music writer


Prince Fielder, 1B
Songs: "A Milli" by Lil Wayne
Fielder: "I have no idea. I really don't hear the music when I'm up most of the time."


Corey Hart, RF
Song: "International Harvester" by Craig Morgan
Hart: "It was one of those songs that I heard and I liked. When you pick a song, you kind of want to pick something that is kind of like your personality. You want to pick something that has a good intro because you only get to hear five, 10 seconds. I liked the beginning and obviously the song kind of fit me a little bit."
Critic commentary: "You gotta love this pick. Amidst all the chest-thumping and guitar shredding of walk-up choices throughout the league, Hart goes with a good ol' boy country track about being a farmer who is unafraid to drive his tractor on the highway at 'chug-a-lug-a 5 miles an hour.' We still favor Hart's All-Star Game pick of his namesake's 'Sunglasses at Night.'" --Jim Welte, freelance music writer


Bill Hall, IF
Song: "Got Money" by Lil Wayne
Hall: "I like my songs to have a good beat. Hitting is a lot about rhythm, so I like to listen to a good beat while I'm walking up there to keep me relaxed and keep me in rhythm."



Mike Cameron, CF
Song: "Put On" by Young Jeezy
Cameron: "When I pick my music, it tries to involve myself, personally, and to try and get the fans involved. This is one of those cities, one of those blue-collar cities that seems to relate, that's all."
Critic commentary: "The 35-year-old vet shows that he can still get down with the youngsters by picking one of the rappers du jour. It's one of Jeezy's better tracks, and it brings with it the comedic pleasure of Kanye West singing in an AutoTune-improved robot voice." --Jim Welte, freelance music writer


Jason Kendall, C
Song: "Dig" by Mudvayne
