"'''The Jump Off'''" is a song by American rapper [[Lil' Kim]] featuring fellow American rappers [[Mr. Cheeks]] and [[Timbaland]], who produced the track. It was released by [[Atlantic Records]] on February 10, 2003 as the lead single from her third studio album ''[[La Bella Mafia]]'' (2003).<ref>{{Cite book|title=Jump Off Poster|url=https://d9nvuahg4xykp.cloudfront.net/-3547972490363951208/6550997646823923343.jpg}}</ref>
"'''The Jump Off'''" is the first single off the multi-platinum album ''[[La Bella Mafia]]''. The single debuted at number 95 and climbed into the top 20 at # 16. The single sold over 200,000 copies and certified platinum within months. A remix featuring [[Mobb Deep]] was also released but was used as a promotional single.


==Background==
The song is produced by well-known hip-hop producer [[Timbaland]] and features [[Mr. Cheeks]] for background vocals.
"The Jump Off" means something that gets the party going and is also [[slang]] for "the best".<ref name="InStyle" /> The chorus of the song interpolates the [[Lost Boyz]]'s 1995 song "[[Jeeps, Lex Coups, Bimaz & Benz]]". Kim decided to incorporate the song for the hook because it was one of her favorite songs during that time and felt it fit the storyline, despite producer Timbaland saying she should do something else.<ref>{{cite web|author=MTV News |title=Lil' Kim Battles Butterflies, Invites Strong Girls To Join Her Mafia |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1470462/lil-kim-battles-butterflies.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025115633/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1470462/lil-kim-battles-butterflies.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 25, 2012 |publisher= |date=2003-03-11 |accessdate=2012-09-11}}</ref>
The remix retained the same beat as the original, as well as Mr. Cheeks with background vocals, but featured new verses from Kim as well as Mobb Deep. There is also an unofficial remix to this song which features T.I.


==Music video==
One memorable line from the song is when Kim says "I can make a Sprite can disappear in my mouth." This line sparked some controversy, as when the remix was released Kim got more controversial and said "you thought the Sprite can was off the meter, imagine what i do with a 2 liter."
The music video for the song was filmed at "Capitale" in New York City. It was directed by [[Benny Boom]].<ref name="InStyle">{{cite journal |last=Lee |first=Elyssa |date=May 2003 |title=Tiny Dancer |journal=[[InStyle]] |page=270 |publisher=[[Time Inc.]] }}</ref>
