Remember The Name

"Today's soundtrack to sporting endeavour and excellence from Mike Shinoda's LA ensemble"

It's a track that's been around for a while but Fort Minor's Remember The Name has clearly now achieved cult status as 'the' soundtrack to sit alongside stella sporting endeavour.  Across the internet legendary basketball players Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Dwight Howard all have their best moments on court compiled by die hard fans to this ripping hip hop classic.  Cristiano Ronaldo has even got his own montage.  Only probably not for long...

Alas WMG have recently decided to get tough on unauthorised use of the track and insisting that audio be disabled across the web piste.  Once view count hits around 200 thousand even the best montages can come crashing down without the background riff ... shame.

So before it's too late check out the effort below - as the architect tells us ' a video dedicated to and inspired by regular people doing some pretty amazing things....'

And there's no doubt that the track's lyrics tell their own story of what it takes to achieve a bit more in life ... we just have to decide whether we're up for pushing ourselves. 

 "This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!"

Amen to that.

And if you ever were one to reflect on how sport can sometimes be so class to battle - look no further than here.  Same tune, same stirring of the soul.
