When you perform at good shows, often times the sound person will come up to you and ask what song you'd like him to play as you get brought onstage. A lot of comics don't care, but I feel like its a good opportunity to create the vibe you want in the room before you start your set. I pick "Party and Bullshit" by Notorious B.I.G. every time:
This song is unreal. Great beat, great lyrics, but it just creates this awesome laid back vibe, where you just want to sit back and have fun and not worry about whatever shitty stressful things you might have going on at the time. It's the epitome of what old school hip hop was about: having fun. I hate that new rap isn't like this. This song is the perfect vibe I want the crowd to have before I tell them my newest dick joke.
