In general I think that FIRSTers show a lack of love to the world of hip hop and rap. I'm thinking any of Biggie Smalls, Tupac, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Drake or Lil Wayne all have tracks that qualify under "epic, upbeat, somewhat fast, and good to listen to songs."
If Hip Hop isn't to your liking, then take a page out of the playbooks of the sporting world. NFL Films has one numerous Emmy's for their amazing packages featuring all sorts of
inspiring classical music. Also, many sports highlights montages have borrowed extensively from the soundtracks from films such as Rudy, Seabiscuit, Remember the Titans, etc.
Here are some great examples of epic sports montages with great music: (Seriously, I could watch these all days long)
