Shut 'Em Down (Public Enemy song)

Production was handled by the Imperial Grand Ministers of Funk, with The Bomb Squad serving as executive producers.

Part of group member Chuck D's voice was sampled on the track "Ten Crack Commandments" by The Notorious B.I.G.

The opening of the song was used by Russell Simmons Television Productions (RSTV) during the closing credits of Def Comedy Jam.

A mashup of the song with The Prodigy's "Stand Up" was created by fan Pony Sixfinger, who posted it on his YouTube channel.
