I remember watching the episode of Simpsons where the Navy produced a series of music videos with subliminal messaging back when it first came out (apparently in 2001).

Re-up as a term to re-enlist or re-sign up has been around for at least 15 years.

Interesting. I first heard of this term when Nicki Minaj came out with "The Re-up."

Interesting note, The earliest mentions of Rig Veda gods found thus far were not in India but in Northern Syria.

There's a theory that "devi" and "devil" are connected. That the devis of the so-called pagans became the devils post christian conversion.

The Wire

I actually wasn't aware of it being either street slang or associated with The Wire. It seemed a pretty familiar term to me. A few different online sources suggest it started out as military slang to mean "re-enlist."

And the military usage goes back to the early 1900s:
