Trivia

• “Shit Hits the Fan” is a diss track aimed at Ja Rule, featuring a verse each from Obie Trice and Dr. Dre, with an uncredited performance by Eminem on the hook.
• When speaking with The New York Daily News about the song, Obie Trice stated, “I don’t want to take on 50 Cent’s beef. But then Ja Rule said stuff about Eminem’s daughter, and I felt I had to say something back.”
• Dr. Dre’s reasoning stems from Ja Rule’s statement in the June 2003 issue of XXL magazine: “And when I get my fuckin’ hands on 50 again, I’ma wear his ass out. Him, Em, Dre, any one of these niggas, I’m gonna wear they ass out on top of the raps.”
• The song was released as a promotional single prior to the album’s release.
