Produced by Just Blaze, the beat was originally turned down by Beanie Sigel, Freeway and Jay-Z before Budden used it.[2] It contains a sample from "Soul Vibrations" as performed by Kool & the Gang and The Payback as performed by James Brown. The song was nominated for the Best Male Rap Solo Performance award at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards.
Music video
editThe music video was partially inspired by the 2002 film, The Ring,[citation needed] and begins with three women putting a videotape containing Pump It Up into a VCR player. Budden then appears on the television screen and eventually walks out of it, when the video cuts to him performing the song to a large crowd in a park. The music video features cameos from DJ Envy, DJ Clue and Dub-B.
Remix
editThe official remix is a mash-up of two beef freestyles by Jay-Z and 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, Volume One (2010).
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 with a verse by the rapper Busta Rhymes.[3]
