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.[3] 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.[4]
