THROWBACK - Check out "Pump It Up," Joe Budden's biggest hit.

Long before he was telling young rappers to get off his lawn, Joe Budden was making bangers. The 2003 track was produced by the legendary Just Blaze, and scored Joey the biggest mainstream hit of his career. He even landed a spot as a playable character in the classic game "Def Jam 2: Fight For NY." Any of ya'll remember that game?

While many newcomers are getting to know Joe Budden for his Everyday Struggle antics or Drake diss tracks, once upon a time Budden was a rising star in the rap game. "Pump It Off" is a reminder of that time, and remains Joey's biggest hit. 

Quotable Lyrics

She at the bar stylin' she throwing it up
She drink a little hypno, throwing it up
But I'm only dealing with freaks that wanna cut
Ma if you agree I wanna nut
Camcorder, get it played late night on BET Uncut
