That's That Shit is the second single by Snoop Dogg from the album Tha Blue Carpet Treatment. Snoop Dogg recently spoke to AllHipHop.com^[1] the track off "Tha Blue Carpet Treatment" which Nottz produced and features R. Kelly. "Dr. Dre called me today. We’ve been working on my record. He helped me fix this song I did with R.Kelly. It was a hit record before I gave it Dre, but now it’s a super hit record. He made me strike all my vocals. That means, “Take all your lyrics off, I don’t like ‘em. They’re wack.” I even go through that s**t too. To this day, you know what I mean? I ain’t too big to take criticism. He made me take all my lyrics off and me and D.O.C. had to come up with some more s**t that was just extraordinary."

Listen to the song at his MySpace.

The song samples the beat played in the movie Coming to America during the bathroom scene when Eddie Murphy gets washed by female servants.^[2]

The song was performed live at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2006. The curiosity of the live act was that the intro of the song was the same cut as in the movie with the Victoria Dillard skit at the end, which was left unedited in the direct broadcast, though in the later reruns of the programme, the offensive "word" was censored. Though R. Kelly wasn't present.

The video premiered on MTV Tuesday, November 7th at 3:30pm EST on TRL.

The album version differs from the video/single in its intro, whereas the lyrics includes the movie intro (see below), and R. Kelly answering "Thank you". The clean version has the title shortened to exclude profanity, and has R. Kelly's final solo hook its "sex" word taken out.

The song was performed live at the 2006 BET Awards and at the 2006 American Music Awards. R. Kelly's part was playback in both events.
