I think he intended it to be a double entendre. Playing on the phrase "turn it up right now"

I.e "turn it upright, now" and "turn it up, right now".

Rap genius is so stupid, half the time it is written by retards. That ^ should go without saying. The real genius of the line is the double entendre.

It's just a play on words to catch you off-guard...

It was mainly to get to the 'turn this motherfucker up right now' which is obviously a play on... as already said - like, turning volume up, and also to turn the finger up the right way...

But also just like a play on mixing up hearing with seeing... that's what that whole line is.
