Before he was a podcaster with all the hot takes, Joe Budden was a rapper of some repute.
He even had a big hit: The 2003 track "Pump It Up".
Or at least we remember it as a big hit.
We were surprised to learn that "Pump It Up" just became a gold record -- 20 years after its release.
Congrats, we guess.
