Is "Pump It Up" by Joe Budden a classic hip hop record?

[Phantom Dreamer]

It wasn’t a party record in 2004 for tho

Crunk music was running everything in 2004

Knuck If You Buck >>>

 

[Roxx the King]

Yes.

Even if only because it gave us Joe Buddens career.

Song came out before the crunk wave.

 

[Sauce Dab]

Yeah, I’d say so. I mean why not?

Song regularly gets played at cook outs and block parties and be in movies and video games, it’s a time capsule of the era it came out in

What cook outs you going to where that’s still being played

[Buckeye Fever]

Hated this and that Focus bullshyt.

It took Marques Houston for him to be part of a hit song

 

[ISO]

It be the old heads

 

[Boolean]

I haven’t heard Joe’s version in more than a decade

Crazy it took

years for this to go gold.

 

[Solomon Lurke]

I still don’t understand how these numbers working. Same with Freeway “What We Do” just going gold. These songs were everywhere all these years and also came out during a time when you could physically buy it but never hit gold. Meanwhile YKPRQ Lil Coli Breh is going diamond in his first year.

 

[African Peasant]

I have to say yes. And if it's not, it's very close to it.

 

[BK The Great]

Song was everywhere when it dropped Like In Da Club.

 

[DapMeUp!]

Cult classic.

Joe talked about it on the pod before. It 1st came out on 2 Fast 2 Furious movie and soundtrack before his album even was released and made big impact in You Got Served was also on games like Madden 04. So the actual song was gettin plays from some big movie soundtracks in early 2000s, games and not Joe himself. If anything wit all the beef he had wit industry how he sees exec shyt and he feel he got played gettin that "gold" must piss him off cause that was obviously a plat record
