"Shit on You" also known by the clean versions as either "Sh*t on You" or "S*** on You", is a song by American hip hop group D12. It was their commercial debut single, released on December 5, 2000. It achieved moderate success by reaching the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart. It was not included on the American vinyl, CD, digital, or streaming editions of their 2001 debut studio album Devil's Night , but was included as a bonus track on the cassette version, [2] [3] UK, European, and Australian releases, and on the deluxe version of Eminem's greatest hits album, Curtain Call: The Hits .

Background

The song was mixed by Dr. Dre and features references to John Candy, JonBenét Ramsey, Richard Pryor, Steve Stoute, 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.
