"Get Up" is a single by rapper 50 Cent. It was initially released as the official first single from Before I Self Destruct, but it was later replaced by Baby by Me. It is produced by Scott Storch.
[edit] Background
The single was first released to 50 Cent's official MySpace page as well as his personal internet community, ThisIs50.com,[2] with it later being released onto his YouTube account, though the video has now been taken down from the account. The song was released to iTunes on October 14, 2008.[3] On October 30, 2008, Universal Music Group released the explicit version onto their YouTube account.[4] New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter used the song as his plate music for much of the 2009 season. America's Best Dance Crew season 3 winners Quest Crew also used the song in their week 7 performance as krumping music.
Since the single was not featured on an album, 50 cent stated he would put it on his upcoming fifth studio album (which is yet to be officially titled) as a bonus track.
[edit] Music video
The music video, inspired by the Will Smith film I Am Legend, was released in late 2008.[5] The start of the video is similar to the video for 'In Da Club' with a view of the 'Shady Aftermath Artist Development Center'. Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and Spider Loc were featured behind the scenes.
