What's that voice on Elevation?

On the album version of Elevation just after the 1st chorus (about 1: 11 into the song) It sounds like Bono going "Ahh..." then " Check it out...(something) Pop" ??
Any idea wat i'm talking about?

I think it's "Check it out I'm spitting it hot."

But not too many people agree with me. Everyone seems to have their own theories.

After listening to this until my ears bled last night, I think I've finally nailed it.


I'm pretty certain he says "pick it up or I'm sweepin it up"


It actually makes sense compared to some of the other translations.

bound to have been an in-joke in the studio.

I can't really tell what he is saying, Why don't we just go ask Bono?
