"Pump It Up" is a song by American hip hop artist Joe Budden. It was released on March 24, 2003, as lead single from his self-titled debut (2003). The song peaked at number 38 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 13 in the United Kingdom.

Produced by Just Blaze, the beat was originally turned down by Beanie Sigel, Freeway and Jay-Z before Joe Budden used it.[2] It contains a sample from "Soul Vibrations" as performed by Kool & the Gang. The song received a nomination for Best Male Rap Solo Performance at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards.

Music video[]

The music video was partially inspired by The Ring, and begins with three women putting a videotape containing Pump It Up into a VCR player. Joe Budden then appears on the television screen and eventually walks out of it, when the video cuts to Budden performing the song to a large crowd in a park. The music video features cameos from DJ Envy, DJ Clue, and Dub-B.

Remix[]

The official remix is a mash-up of two beef freestyles by Jay-Z & Joe Budden against the other person. The rapper's freestyle of the song is included in the deluxe edition of his compilation album, The Hits Collection Vol. 1.

Jay-Z's version is also part of NBA 2K13's soundtrack.

On December 12, 2015, during a guest appearance on an episode of "Abstract Radio", a Beats 1 radio show on Apple Music hosted by rapper Q-Tip, Just Blaze debuted some exclusive unreleased music, which included an unreleased official remix of the song featuring a verse by rapper Busta Rhymes.[3]
