Gyming can be a high-intensity activity, where one needs to stay focussed on each repetition and set. For this, rap songs, with their upbeat tempo, can help fuel the energy required to stay motivated.
Most rap songs also have a lot of social commentary and lyrics that propel one to better themselves than the rest—which, again, makes rap perfect for exercising.
