To prepare for some future event; to bring one's "a game"; to make yourself ready to handle something extremely intense
Bro, the party this weekend is going to be off the chain, so get up for it.
That chick is coming over tonight, so I'm getting up for it.

It is to leave your name or tag up somewhere. In today's graffiti world it is a generalized term signifying earning a reputation by placing your moniker somewhere whither seen or not. Traditionally "to get up" meant to place one's graffiti name in a high and visible location like a Billboard, Rooftop or High Rise i.e. literally "Getting Up" somewhere high and visible in a sometimes difficult spot for notable and street fame.
Tonight I am "Gettin' Up" on that Billboard along I-70 because I am Out for Fame and maybe one day I can earn some street credibility by "getting up" on rooftops like Amaze in L.A..

Get the getting upmug. basically the same thing as get down since one must get up to get down. Specifically implies to get up on the dance floor and get down.
