"Hand on the Pump" is a single by hip hop group Cypress Hill, released from their self-titled debut album. While still successful, the song did not reach the popularity of previous singles "How I Could Just Kill a Man" and "The Phuncky Feel One". The song was re-recorded and released as a single in 1992 under the name "Hand on the Glock"; this version was also released on the "Latin Lingo" single.
Music video[edit]
Like many of the group's early music videos, the video simply shows the members performing the song in various locations, alongside various clips from an unnamed cinematic title filmed in Red Hook, New York [1]
