"Shit on You" is a rap song by D12. It was their commercial debut single, released in the year 2000, and it achieved some success by reaching the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart. It wasn't included in the original edition of their 2001 debut album Devil's Night, but instead it was put on a bonus disc in some limited editions (such as the European release).
The song features references to John Candy, JonBenét Ramsey, Richard Pryor and Steve Stout, and Eminem's line referring to the band as "five more zany-actin' maniacs in action" harks back to his original underground album, Infinite.
The song is included on the bonus disc of the deluxe edition of Curtain Call: The Hits.
Detroit rapper Royce Da 5'9" which at the time was beefing with D12 made a song called "Shit On U" which was a diss D12 member Bizarre, "Shit On U" used the "Shit On You" beat.
[edit] The video
The video was shot on location in Detroit, the band performing in various locations around their home city, such as Fox Theatre, the Joe Louis Memorial and Runyon Avenue. The entire video is in black-and-white, apart from some cutaway sequences (including Bizarre living in a run-down house and Eminem as an angry old man). Although Proof does not appear in the song, he provides a spoken introduction to the video, and is seen alongside his bandmates.
[edit] Cover versions
Proof, the only band member not to sing in the original song, made a solo cover version called "Shootatcha" in 2002, available from his website.
