Push It Baby

"Push It Baby" is the second single of the album Late Night Special by Pretty Ricky. It was released in March 2007. The single was also featured in television network BET's 2007 Spring Bling event during their performance. Pretty Ricky has performed this song live on BET's video countdown show 106 & Park on May 16, 2007. The official remix features Sean Paul.

Music video

Pretty Ricky held a contest on YouTube in which users could suggest the "Push It Baby" dance to be featured in the music video for the song. At the end of the contest, a winner was selected, though Pretty Ricky decided to combine the entries and use them all in the video. After production, the music video was aired on Access Granted on BET. The following day the video was aired as a "New Joint" on 106 & Park, and peaked at number-two on the countdown. On December 31, 2007, it appeared at number 91 on BET's Notarized: Top 100 Videos of 2007 countdown.

The video itself features the members of Pretty Ricky walking into a ballroom. They pick up masks on the table and start dancing, singing, and rapping. The dances submitted in the contest are also featured, and are performed by the group and other dancers. Reggae artist Sean Paul also appeared in the video; his portion was filmed in Los Angeles, California. The Pretty Clothing line was featured in the video, as well. Aside from Sean Paul's performance, the video was filmed and took place in Prague, the Czech Republic.

Static-X

Static-X was an American heavy metal band from Los Angeles, California formed in 1994. The line-up fluctuated over the years, but always held constant with band founder, frontman, vocalist, and guitarist Wayne Static. The band rose to fame with their 1999 debut album Wisconsin Death Trip where the band's heavy industrial metal sound found attention within the burgeoning nu metal movement of the late 1990s, with the album eventually going platinum in the United States. The band released five more albums over the course of the next decade: Machine in 2001, Shadow Zone in 2003, Start a War in 2005, Cannibal in 2007, and Cult of Static 2009.

Shortly after their last album's release, the band entered a hiatus while Static worked on his solo album, Pighammer, in 2011. Static briefly reformed Static-X in 2012, using only members of his solo album's touring band, before officially breaking up in June 2013. On November 1, 2014, Wayne Static died at the age of 48.

"Push It" is one of Static-X's best known and most popular songs and is credited, along with "I'm with Stupid", for making Wisconsin Death Trip Static-X's best-selling album. The song is a combination of most effects of the industrial metal genre along with the band's self-described "evil disco". The music video for Push It was directed by Mick Olszewski and introduces shots of clay creatures mixed in with the band performing the song.

Music and lyrics

The song talks about being self-strong, not giving up. The song begins and concludes with heavier segments with screamed vocals, while its middle section is more atmospheric and melodic.
