Background
The song was mixed by Dr. Dre and features references to John Candy, JonBenét Ramsey, Richard Pryor, Steve Stoute, Richard Simmons, Deebo and Peabo Bryson, whilst Eminem's line, "five more zany-actin' maniacs in action", hearkens back to his album debut, Infinite.
Proof, the only group member not to rap in the original song, recorded a remix, using a different beat, titled "Shoot At You", in 2002, which was available from his website. In some countries, "Shit on You" was also made available on the B-side of the group's following single, "Purple Pills". Detroit rapper and Eminem associate, Royce Da 5'9", who at the time was beefing with D12, made a song called "Shit on U", dissing Bizarre of D12 over the "Shit on You" beat.
Music video
The video was shot on location in Detroit, the group performing in various locations around their home city, including Fox Theatre, Brewster-Douglass Housing Projects, the Joe Louis Memorial, Michigan Central Station, Comerica Park, and Runyon Avenue. The entire video is shot in black-and-white, apart from some cutaway sequences, including Bizarre as an abusive alcoholic living in a run-down house, Eminem as an angry old man, a cutscene where Eminem is at his old house and when Proof is with the chicks. Although Proof does not appear in the record, he provides a spoken introduction to the video, and appears alongside his fellow MCs.
