Michael Phelps bumps Jeezy & Outkast..

Outkast, props.....



First, there was a mention.

Now, there just might be a meeting.

History-making Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps’ (top picture) has told a number of media outlets that Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy (below) is in heavy rotation in his iPod.

In fact, in a New York Times article Monday, Jeezy is cited as one of the eight influences for his record-breaking eight gold medals Phelps won in Beijing. (The Jeezy single “Go Getta” - with R&B singer R. Kelly — in particular).

“Phelps and his American rival Ryan Lochte, who is also a fan of Jeezy, greet each other by saying ‘Juh,’ in homage to the rapper, a.k.a. Jay Jenkins,” the Times’ Karen Crouse writes.

Now Jeezy tells us that Phelps’ “people” have been in touch with his “people” about the two being officially introduced.

“It would be great if I could holler at Phelps,” Jeezy said during a break from his nationwide promotional tour for his upcoming CD, “The Recession”. “And it’s a compliment that that man found inspiration in the music I do for the streets over here, over there in Beijing”.

(It would also be quite the picture seeing Phelps — pride of the red, white and blue — next to Jeezy, who’s “Recession” promotional materials include a black and white-striped flag, and T-shirts with “My President Is Black” on the front.)

And Phelps’ Atlanta Music Scene inspirations doesn’t stop with Jeezy. According to Yahoo! Music Usher (“Burn”) and OutKast (“Roses”) are also on Phelps’ Top 10 playlist.
Both Andre “Dre” Benjamin and Antwan “Big Boi” Patton of OutKast (above, in their movie “Idlewild”) said they weren’t aware of that until we told the history makers in their own right. (They are the first rap group to win Grammy’s top album of the year prize).

“Ha!” a delighted Benjamin shot back in an e-mail. “That’s great to know!” added Patton.

And what OutKast songs do they think just might motivate other athletes during the rest of the Games?

No 1. “B.O.B”; 2. “Gasoline Dreams” 3. “Bust” and 4. “Git Up, Git Out,” says Patton.

“Oddly enough,’So Fresh, So Clean’ is a good one,” Benjamin replied. “Yes, [‘B.O.B.’] is another one. A rare OutKast track [on ‘Stankonia’] featuring Cee-Lo called ‘Speedballin’ is another.

He'd prolly evolve into a dolphin j/k

And I dont knoe why theyre singling out Jeezy, Outkast, and Weezy, maybe cuz those artists are big on the mainstream level, that'll be dope if he listens to artists like Immortal Technique, Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, Common, Talib, Mos Def, Jedi Mind Tricks, etc.
