很多运动员都有在比赛之前听音乐的习惯。在报道上看到过，听音乐也同样是刘翔喜欢的放松方式。据他自己说，“比赛前，会听听慢节奏的，抒情一点的，有时候可以促进睡眠，而到了比赛前一个多小时，做准备活动的时候，我就听快节奏的，有利于把自己的神经系统调动起来，让自己更兴奋。”在刘翔还没有在鸟巢亮相之前，这些天几乎在水立方天天看到菲尔普斯。全世界的观众都可以看到，菲尔普斯在大赛之前总是在听iPod。这iPod成了菲尔普斯的行头，直到在下水前几分钟才摘去。有没有人知道菲尔普斯在听什么音乐，是抒情的还是快节奏的，与他夺冠有没有一点关系呢？
其实，菲尔普斯听的曲子不能简单地用“抒情”或者“快节奏”来描述。据美国媒体报道，菲尔普斯的iPod中的曲子都是Hip-hop。英文中Hip是臀部，Hop是单脚跳，Hip-hop则是轻扭摆臀的意思，这是美国黑人的一种街头说唱文化，中文译为“嘻哈”。
菲尔普斯特别透露，他在北京常听的曲子中有一首I’m Me，由说唱歌手Lil'' Wayne演唱（音频）。Lil’
Wayne是黑人，今年26岁，生在美国路易斯安纳州新奥尔良市的穷人区，从小成长于充满暴力和饱受贫困的街头，早年辍学之后开始正式从事说唱音乐发展，是hip-
hop改变了他的一生，现在是美国当红的南部说唱歌手。
I’m Me这首歌是Lil'' Wayne在今年初发行的专辑The
Leak中的第一首曲子，其他三首曲子是Gossip、Kush、Love me or Hate Me、Takin’ About
It。这首I’m Me的歌词似乎描述了Lil’
Wayne自己的经历，包含很多俚语甚至粗话，但是菲尔普斯喜欢这首歌自有道理。因为歌中有几句歌词用来形容大赛前的气氛颇为贴切： I
know the game is crazy, it''s more crazy than it''s ever been
。特别是歌词中还有一句Yes, I''m the best! I know the game like I''m reffing
it，用来描述屡战屡胜的菲尔普斯更是恰如其分。
