By now you’ve seen (and probably done) your own Phelps Face. During the Olympics, the God of the Games Michael Phelps got in the zone before competing (and completely annihilating the competition) in Rio by listening to hip hop. Some of the other swimmers tried to break him down and make him crack, but the man with human flippers never faltered. Not once. Not happening. Ever. Walk away. Bye.

He’s a huge fan of hip hop, so it was pretty much a no-brainer for the team behind Lip Sync Battle to call upon His Wetness to act out one of his all time favourite songs and videos: Eminem‘s Lose Yourself. 

Now check out the OG version that scored Eminem the Oscar for Best Original Song for 2002’s 8 Mile

Can you believe he wasn’t even in attendance cause he thought he had zero chance to win?! CRAZY!

Ok soooo back to The Flipper King. Think Slim Shady would be surprised at hoe good he did?

Or maybe…unimpressed?

Regardless it’s a pretty good attempt at one of hip hop’s greatest songs. Atta boy Phelpinem!
