Background

In the interview on "White Label Radio", Fredro Starr told a story about how Onyx recorded the title track. DMX came to the NYC's studio, "Sound On Sound Studios, to record the song "Shut 'Em Down" accompanied by his pitbulls and members of Ruff Ryders, but on the shooting of a video in Downtown Los Angeles, he arrived alone with the dogs![1]

The music video was directed by Gregory Dark and was filmed in Downtown Los Angeles in December 1997 and was released on "The BOX" in February 1998.[2]

The video can be found on the 2008's DVD Onyx: 15 Years Of Videos, History And Violence.[3]

  • In 2001, instrumental of this song was used in Santa Cruz - Uprising, the movie by Santa Cruz Skateboards about skateboarding.[4]
  • In 2005, "Shut 'Em Down (Remix)" has been featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.[5]

Tribute

In 2012, the Mongolian hip-hop group Ice Top recorded a cover version of the song "Shut 'Em Down Remix" by Onyx called "Shartai" and then filmed a video for this track.[6]

In 2017, in honor of 19th anniversary of Onyx's album "Shut 'Em Down" Atlanta's rapper Sick Flo, who also a member of Onyx's movement "100 MAD", released a tribute video "Shut 'Em Down".[7]
