Bup Bup Bump Bump Bump B B Bump B B B B B B B B B B B Kahn B Oh yeah what's going on y'all. Dice DJ DJ MCJ Kast Easy Ahh! In the mother building! In the motherfucking building! I didn't usually just drop such fierce F bombs right out the gate but this just pumps you up. It's probably the most appropriately themed song that has ever been. I was gonna say it except for you know but I don't know

got anything. No, it's it's it's. Pump week, y'all. It is pump week. It's pump week. We've got to continue on. We already did the other pumps on you heard. And now it's time to bring Joe button pump it up into the... An impromptu pump week. There was definitely no plans going in. No. You know, sometimes... What is pump week? We were about to find out. Yeah. Sometimes you just get into it and then you get about nine yards deep and you're like, is it pump week? I'm like, yeah, let's do it. You know what? It is. That's what we got to do. And that

That means it's time to throw on the good old Joe Buttons jam. I don't know how many Joe Buttons jams get tossed on. I don't know another Joe Button. I feel like there was at the time. I remember one. It's not clicking with me right now. But this is the only one that stands at test time, that's for sure. Yeah, I remember this is me in high school.

And we were head on Miami trip, me and my cousins. All the way to Miami. We were riding down the freeway, and we had this thing on repeat. That's what this song was made for, just like the team and the bus. Oh, and basketball team. Yeah. On the way to the big game and everybody's just getting hyped and everybody's just vibing left to right and, yeah.

I mean, just like. I brought this back recently, DJing for Cal State Fullerton. I brought the pump it up. They were like, what? I was like, that's right. And then they won the game by six. Four. Okay.

So it may have played a factor, but it wasn't like it. It wasn't the difference. Maybe it was. I don't know. But it is Pump Week. And we're here to get you pumped up to dissect DJs. Castle and Jack back at you with another one. Joe Button, bring it.

Hold up. You're right, Joe, button. We are going to hold up. Because once again, we have to dissect. And once again, Castle and I, I think we forgot to pull up the lyrics. That's just like a tradition at this point, I think. Like, just expect that to happen. You would think that, you know, right before we start the song, we would pull up the lyrics because that's part of dissecting each song.

You would think. It'd be too easy. That'd be too easy on us. All the way into Pump Week, we are. Still not doing that as you can hear the typing I gotta get a soft To get the lyrics for Pump It Up because I Actually don't know It's hard Anything that he says right now

We're about to learn because I'm This is definitely one of those songs that you've always been Rapping with but you always just rap to the sound of it Like I mean I'm always Pump it up You tap it all All right so let's see what he's saying What the hell?

Oh this is a different song This is Elvis Custello also has a song Oh yeah It's a good one Oh, yeah? I don't believe it's better than Joe Buttons, though. I mean, it's up there. It's up there. Why it's not coming to my head for some reason? I don't know. I didn't. It skipped already. All right. Pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump it up.

Okay, I'll skip to the part after the hook, but that's the first part of the lyrics. That's what it sounds like when a trendy white guy reads the lyrics. Translates. Yeah, that's how that translate. Just blaze? By the way, Just Blaze, is that like a producer? I feel like that, because I hear that a lot of tracks. I believe so. Yeah.

The reason his name works, I think he's actually, his name is like Justin Blaze. Isn't that what it is? I don't know. You can start calling you, just play it on there if you're like, yeah. I already just Google the lyrics and I don't want to come off. And then. And I also used to be like, it's time to smoke?

Yeah, no, it works. It works. It's a good way to like get somebody hyped just before the last. And also, if you don't like drink alcohol, you just pull. Just blaze? Just do that then. Maybe that's the producer's deal. Like, you know.

Yo, hey, Justin. Want a sip of this? Like, nah, man. No, man. Just blaze. Just blaze? No, he starts it off with a look, comma. So, like, he's grabbing your attention.

Right, effect. Like, all right, check this out. Look, all right. Pump it up if you came to get it crunk. With a dame and shit that's drunk, you came to get it on. More than five o's in your bank, then get it on, roll it up like that stink,

and get it on. All right, let's just slow down here. Let's settle out. Let's settle up the first couple of lyrics. So you came to get a crunk. Yeah, you came to get a trunk with a dame and shit that's drunk. All right. You're here to party. Yeah, you're here to party with a dame.

And I don't know. And she's a little drunk. She sounds like she might be a little too intoxicated. There was a good amount of pre-gaming that went on. And now we're at the party. So, like, you know, at this point, it's all working out. You came to get it on, more than five o's in your bank, then get it on. more than 5 o's in your bank okay so he's got more than a hundred thousand

oh shit i was thinking he was talking about like ounces of weed o's in your bank all right fuck this is ready to roll on some shit tonight oh you're going the drunk one no i just he's got a lot of he's got a lot of money he's got a lot of money all right he's rolling five six figures let's go like five o's mean six figures and he's and he's coming ready to throw it down tonight which is if he's only he's probably like more than five o's he says that's probably six o's which means he has to be a millionaire because he's calling him. Which, okay,

immediately this is something I've always noticed in rappers that are kind of up and coming, which I know this had to be the first, like, real jam that Joe Buttons put out there. He was not a millionaire when this song dropped. So when he wrote this shit, he's claimed, I feel like a lot of, like, becoming up as a rapper is like you have to just claim,

like you're rolling with six o'clock. Yeah, it's a big fig until you make it, baby. It's a big fig until you make an industry. It ends up costing a lot of them on the back end. But, you know, I feel like Joe's actually one of those. He had his time. Yeah, you know, and this song lives on. All right, so roll up like that stank and get it on.

Stank that fitted on, came to get it on. Okay. It doesn't matter. He just throwing the on. Yeah, he wants to get the on thing on. Yeah, he's hitting the on button hard right now. I don't know what's a rhyme right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Which is good. You know who's mastered that? Juvenile. Every single juvenile song. Okay. Chibunuba naichi. Are you calling out Juvenile week? Yeah, we've already made.

this pump week though we can't juvenile week is gonna have to wait but we can do that to show how he does that and back that ass up and then he has a song ha where it's literally just you wait on no trots a big one huh you want to know no manna I've never heard that song

what never heard that song oh okay we gotta have to do a juvenile week now okay so he's still pump week it's still pump week what's not you're you're stomping all over pump week's shoes with that shit right now continue with the joke hold up she want to work that twerk That then again let hurt that murk that till you got a hurt back. Oh, okay Classic life. Yeah, that one's money. She's working it and he's riding it out as long as his back will carry him

Can't spit it out wait can't spit it out. Oh, you got a slur. Oh, kids To sell fast rapping songs are gonna be hard to dissect because these guys go through it and their lyrics Which means we're probably not gonna be able to do lyric for the lyric, but at least we'll give them love in the first verse on this Because the first first actually is probably the most legendary one. Can't spit it out. Boy, you got a slurp that. Can't cuddle after we done. It wasn't worth that.

I love how many of these guys had to like point out mid-first-verse. You're like, yeah, we gonna get cranking on my fuck that, but not too tight. Don't squeeze after we done because I'm not really into it. I'm not leaving. Yeah, yeah. Get out of here. I'm definitely leaving right now.

I'm trying to wipe that shit. I'm just trying to hit that. that in a rap song and then leave and then get the fuck out don't snuggle it wasn't worth that joey um he calls out joey who's joey joey i'm responsible for bringing jersey back and then in parentheses it says and we bad joey is joe i assume that's joey oh that's right joey budd actually you know what i feel like joey buddn works better there's nothing about the name buddn that's just off-putt in i never thought it was a very good last name i actually always thought it was joe buddins and it's like Joe Budden apparently

Did I just add the ass on my head on? Okay She had to start styling And she throwed it up She drink a little hypno Throwing it up All right Very good use of the same words

Back to back Because first she was styling And she throwing it up Like she's tossing her hands up Like yeah And then she drink a little hypno Throwing it up Like

Blah blah blah blah Blah Blahah Let me again Let me hurt that Murt that Say you got a hurt back Can spit it out

Boom you got a slurp that What's been cut her rap that we do it wasn't worth that. So we're responsible for bringing dirt back. Can we back up? She has to bar style and she's throwing it up. She drank a little hip note throwing it up. But I'm only dealing with freaks that want to cut minds if you agree and want to Nuttkins.

I'm going to get it played late night on B the uncut. Ooh, what's she say right there? Right after she gets done throwing up. But I'm only dealing with freaks that want to cut. Cut. Slam. Okay. I feel like cut in this version

means girls at the club that are like down to cut and cut out get back to the pad that's how I'm hearing it okay cut out but you know yeah same we end up with the same place got you the finish of the maze is the same deal

hustlers wait wait no it's the wrong okay ma if you agree I want to by the way this is the part it gets kind of sloppy because it feels like this part he's like just trying to throw it to the end before it gets to that

playing it playing and play so like i don't even my if you agree i want nut camcorder get it played late night on b t uncut i can't really do it justice because it didn't sound good when he said it either but he just kind of threw it in there by the way remember b t uncut no okay that was like the a bt's music video show that would come on late at night i think only in like saturdays too or something and it was basically all the music videos that they couldn't play during the week which back then was a bigger deal because like there wasn't as much available just whatever you want on YouTube and a lot of these rappers make like I remember Nelly's tip drill was always on that which was just you know basically him having a shipper party and all the girls were like

getting topless and shit so all the stuff that like they wouldn't put on MTV or even BET 106 and Park like you want to check that video out you can see it on uncut yeah pussy popping that was definitely on there yeah nice Pump it up. Okay. What's it say right there, Cass, real quick? All right, so that hook is obviously just pump it up. Let's just party.

We're pumping out. And it gets me hype every single time. You kind of look forward to the pump hour. It's like, all right, we're pumping. And you just get back into dancing like crazy because it just hits so well. The horns come in well. Yeah. It just really is good.

It gets everybody bouncing. And I actually love that we're doing back-to-back pump week with Technotroningen and this because I don't think anybody until this song, had really like hit the pump it up thing as well since technotronic that up until this point was the pump it up song and at this point it kind of modernized it for what this time was and uh yeah it needed it because pump it up given an early 2000 to feel everybody wants to feel a pump up sometime you know pump it up sometimes I just want to pump it up and then he starts calling out word back then he starts calling out the other fools I see some haters drilling I see some ladies chilling I see

So he sees the haters, he sees the girls. He's basically scanning the floor at this point. You know, basically they've been pumped up. They've been partying. Now he's looking with that girl to cut. Never mind the haters. Never mind the haters. He sees them.

Not worth his time, y'all. Actually, I feel like Joe Button was big on calling out haters. Would you hear something I always have to call out about guys calling out haters? The simple fact that you are giving them any kind of recognition says, you do pay attention to them. You do care what they say. You're looking at them like, oh, they don't care what the haters say. Then you clearly saw them. You're looking at them and you probably heard the words. Am I wrong? Like, I've always thought this. Like, when people call out something, they're clearly thinking about the person they're calling out, even though they're saying

that they're not calling out that person. You know what haters hate the most? You don't even mind their existence. Exactly. So why would you talk about them? I wouldn't. Joe Button felt the need to. My eyes never even made eye contact. To me, don't exist. It's actually I find it to be the best way to deal with haters because sometimes like you see somebody out of the corner of eye and like is that fool mad dog of me right now? And you know what the best way for all parties involved is to like, nah, I'm just tripping. Don't even look back. How long is that dude going to mad dog you while you're not even you're just doing your thing? I'm talking to you, talking to this girl, talking to the bartender.

At a certain point he's just like, man, this fool's not even looking at me though. The fuck, eh? So you know, he's going to get over his head. He's just like, oh, whatever, I'm going to spend my time doing something else. think so at least more to the point of whenever somebody called out something I'm always like you're really thinking about that yeah just spending way too much

energy on that fool bro he had to put him in your song you put the haters in your song you put them in the second line after the earth come on Joe he actually put it ahead of I see some ladies chilling so that means he was actually noticing the haters grilling first yeah that's what he said huh I see some he some ladies grilling I see some ladies chilling yeah he saw the haters like these fools saw them first

he's definitely paying attention to him from what I do know about Joe Budden, actually, from historically, he's kind of always had a problem with haters. And, like, he's been a mad hater himself from, like, some of the shit I've seen. So I think that's apropos, man. He puts the haters' grill in ahead of the ladies' chilling. How much more does he have to pump up? Pump it out.

Okay, we was leaving. We was done. Then she's sick and my people's come. Here we go. I see it. Don't stop. They want to ride and stopping with a rims don't stop. Look, baby, you fine, but your girlfriend's not.

I always love that. A little bit of that shit. I love a little sorry in the background. Sorry. Sorry. I feel like he comes in with telling you you fine, but your girlfriend's not. And he hits that like some asshole. But then there's a lowkey like, sorry about that.

Yeah, but y'all can't come though. She's not. She's too wack. Just straight up calls it out. Like, now, now this is the point, like, where I've seen shady girls go. All right, Michelle, just go home. Go home, Michelle. We're going to, I'm going to go.

Oh, yeah. They cut the fat one loose. Yeah. He's like, all right, you gotta go. I'm gonna jump in the bins. Hit me up on Monday, though, you know? Let's go to lunch. Yeah.

Okay, bye, girl, I love you. Yeah. If you want to hold out, getting cute on the phone. I ain't got to be part to be chewing your own. My jump off doesn't run off at the mouth so much. My jump off never has why I go out so much. My jump off never has me going out of my way. She don't want nothing on balance on date.

Jump off. She's a perfect jump off. She's a down with a cause. He doesn't actually. No off never has her going out of his way. She don't want nothing on Valentine's Day. She doesn't run off of the mouth so much. Doesn't ask why he got out so much.

Actually, none of the things that he's talking about is jump out. There's anything she actually brings to the table. It's just all what she doesn't do that he appreciates. That's it. He never actually comes around. Like, by the way, she cooks some bomb-ass popros. She gives some great back massages.

But jump off, make a cauliflower all day. Like what? She always put the dishes away. My jump-bob don't argue and get rebellious. And she don't mind hanging out with the fellas. Fourknot into pure a darling. What's all the jump-off things that this jump-off does? I got to figure out.

What is the characteristics of a jump-off? Okay. She won off on the mouth so much. Yeah. She doesn't ask why he goes out so much. Doesn't ask why she goes out so much. It doesn't make him go out of his way. Doesn't want anything on Valentine's Day.

Then there's three more things. What if that's just Joe just making bold assumptions there? She didn't even want any Valentine's. She didn't even ask for anything. Nothing. She didn't even ask for anything. She didn't even ask for anything. It's just like, yay.

That's why you might jump-off because you didn't even want none of this shit. She's like, it's okay, Joe. She's like, yeah. It's okay, Jamie. For sure, totally. Yeah, that's cool. So, okay, so she don't want nothing on Valentine's Day. He says three other things.

She don't argue or get rebellious. She don't mind hanging out with the fellas. She don't argue. What does he have? Does he have a rubber, like, there's a plastic doll? Is that what this is? Like, the woman doesn't talk. He doesn't exist.

Yeah, she's just always there. She almost like, you know, you ever have like a guy who, like, who says, like, just bring a girl around? She's kind of like, oh, it's kind of my girl. He never really, like, introduced her to anybody. He just kind of started bringing her around. She doesn't really talk, so, like, the rest of the crew, like, doesn't even really kind of like,

I don't know, she's just kind of there now. And then she's just there on the side, just kind of on his side. And then every now and then just kind of has, like, small talk to him. I'm like, oh, wait, my time. And that's about it. And apparently that's all he wants from his jump-off. I guess that's what defined jump-off. That's why we hear about jump-off in this song

and not the ones where to talk about the girl they were super into. It reminds me of that one part, or something about Mary where he's like, can he make us some cookies? Tollhouse? Tollhouse? Yeah? Is that cool?

Go make some toll house. Yeah, exactly. Oh, yeah. That's great. She does that? Yeah. By the way, do we know what the definition of a jump-off is? No.

Is it jump off? Like, is it because she jumped? All right, you know what? I'm going to take the urban legend. Urban dictionary. That shit. Want me to play this while you do? Yeah, do that.

Let's do that. Do your thing, let me do my thing. I mean, do your thing, let me do my thing. Come on, moot that thing, mommy, move that thing. Alright, I feel like at this point, we've spent enough time. You keep talking about your ice and all the shine to it. That's a white goat fork with a real fine, cubic. My want to fall in love like I'm stupid.

Telling me she don't get brain like I'm stupid. All right, I feel like at this point, we've spent enough time on Joe's definition of a jump-off. We got to actually bring a full circle into what a jump-off is. So Urban Dictionary claims a girl used strictly for sex. Two, a hassle-free fuck. That's right. The second definition has an exclamation point on it. I don't know if you get that ever in a dictionary,

but an urban dictionary, you're going to get a hassle-free fuck when you define jump-off. And then the definition, I don't got to remember my jump-off's birthday. That's it. literally, I just read everything that Irma Diction has to say about Jumpoff. No, so this definitely sounds like what Joe's describing, so, huh, okay. And then the lyric we just got out of

before we figured out what the definition of jump off is, she talks about how she doesn't give head, like, and he's like, like, I'm stupid. And for a girl to say out loud that they don't give head, I'm going to go ahead and say that that girl probably doesn't

give, if she does give head, good head. Okay. We're going a little bit. This might get cut, probably, but I'm just going to go and speak it because I need to get out of my shell a little bit here. And I'm just going to go and say that. If a girl says they don't give head, then I kind of don't want to head from her because she's not going to give head. Right. Acrid head is.

It's going to be awkward. I want a girl that's like, I'll fuck your shit up. I'm like, okay. Here's where Joe wins with his line, though, because he follows it up with the ever encouraging. You could do anything if you put your mind to it. So he says, she's like, no. No, I don't, I don't give it. I don't give brain, as he says.

Like, oh, come on. You can do anything if you put your mind to it. I believe in you. Get down, get down, go. Go ahead. Get down. Try it. Open what?

Like, he's encouraging her. All of a sudden, he's... I don't know how deep we can get about the head talking, but... Just that deep. About as deep as a girl who doesn't give brain. No, why do rappers do that? Where they just pick a word and just keep rapping at the end And I act like all the words they're saying it right before that are the actual lyric

And then they rhyme with player. All he did was say, look at the back player, walk the back player, tick the back player. They rhymed, but it's because you were rhyming the same exact word. I hear what you're saying, but it kind of totally works in this song. Like I'm kind of done with it. That being said, he did it about eight bars too long. He did keep it going up to the point where we stopped it the first time. I was like, yeah, yeah, that was all right.

I don't mind it for it. And then he did it, like, another, like, four hits. And I was like, okay, well, yeah, let's get off the play the thing, right? Yeah, what you want on? What you want all? Several brick, come, five, five, film, ball, homie jump off. All these haters go on my up, don't jump off. Okay, that last verse was mostly just him saying pump and jump in different orders.

Like, it was a lot of, it was like word, word pump, word pump, jump, jump, literally the last three, as I'm looking at the lyrics, it just says, would all the streets need is jump off, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump off. uh uh uh uh uh and that's that's how he he i think we just pump it up the rest of the yeah he used their go ahead and let it ride right let it come on get up fella let me do your thing let me do my thing moot that thing mommy moot that thing mommy moot that thing do you yeah let me do my day pop it up Do your thing, let me do my thing.

I mean, do your thing, let me do my thing. Mooh that thing, mommy, move that thing. Come on. Moot that thing, mommy, move that thing. So do your thing, let me do my day. Please, let me tell you a G's a G. You're not. Now it's efficient.

Hey, hey, hey. And if I don't pump you up. Get up right now. You know you're feeling it. You gotta be rocking your playlist. This is your new workout song. If you haven't had it already. Unless you've been listening for like 10 years and now it's played out.

And now you've got to take it off because you've had it for too long. We don't worry about that right now. Get it. Get it. Get it. Oh, yes. All right. Joe Button pumping it up, talking about jump-offs and all sides of shit. We learned a lot about jump-offs, which is apparently a big part of how Joe gets pumped up

because that was half the song. Half the song was him mostly just saying pump and jump, and then the other half was just talking about how his jump off doesn't do shit really. And some player guy. A lot of player. Some player guy that he didn't even really read what he was going over and that. We just got lost in the fact that he was ending a re-line with play. He ended about 16 lines with player.

A lot of player references. You know what? Sometimes when you listen to hip-hop, you don't need every single line to be some lyrical masterstroke of poetry. Sometimes it's just like, yeah, just, throw play at the end of everything and just keep it going with the beat and it's all I need it's fine it's fine it works it works for this one I think got me pumped up

fact is Joe went into making a song called Pump It Up and mission accomplished it's it accomplished I give you that I'm pumped up I'm hyper than I was before we started this thing that's for sure absolutely now you're ready to go now you're ready to dissect some tip tip tip I'm always ready to dissect some shit but before we dissect anything else Castle what do you uh what do you give some slaps to give slaps and snaps what you're giving it pump

pump it up sorry I don't know I wanted to make the pump something along with the slaps so you gave it three claps but it was like a pumped up three it was three pumped it was three pumped it was like I was like pumping

while I was slapping which that doesn't sound right yeah three slaps a little like that's fine there we go a little late snap there you go that's for you Joe I like it three slaps

and a late snap just for you Joe I'm coming in with okay can you get the mic what was that four three four mic slaps four mic slaps four entirely too close entirely too close to the mic

I hope it's still mic slaps I hope the mic is still plugged in yeah okay we're good just pumps you up good hip hop good 2000s keeps it going can still use it timeless

oh man if you got like a game never get ready for or like a boxing match or some or something Something like something that's going to require you to get pumped up. Definitely put this on your A track. It's ready to go. This one will work. It'll get it.

I'm not really sure what happened to Joe Budden after this. Honestly, the last time I saw him, there was an up-and-coming basketball player called Brandon Jennings. Remember him? He was like hot coming out of, like, if he was one of those guys who was like ready to go pro out of high school, but the rules didn't let him. So like I think he kind of, I think he maybe went overseas for you or something like that. Anyways, up and coming up.

and basketball player like getting ready to get drafted and he was on a phone call with joe buddn and he you know they were just talking shit and jennings was uh just talking shit a bunch of like other like players and like celebrity jo button was recording the whole thing and he was like putting a video on youtube and he's like doing he's like pointing the phone is like oh he don't even know like i'm recorded and i just saw that and i was like yo that's mad fucked up like you've sold out your boy just to like get some youtube views like get the fuck out of here so i was personally done with joe after that and I think everybody was I haven't seen him since really you know I think I've seen him honestly pop up in like some beef squabble shit that's the only time so that's what I was talking about

with the haters earlier I think his deal with like haters and maybe wanting to get like I think he I think he actually started doing some podcast shit I don't know he basically became more about like talking shit than he did like you know pumping shit out fuck Joe button I don't know that you kind of dude right there no he's up the hater aid dad it's also It's also what kept it at three, you know. You got four stars. It was a good song, though, Joe. That song's epic, though.

I was still, if I got a game tomorrow, that shit's going on before I get the hardwood. With that, dissect DJ's pump week, complete. Damn, we all pumped up now? Let's do it. I think that means I'm ready to jam my way into next week. Next!
