"Shake That" (also known as "Shake That Ass") is a song by American rapper Eminem featuring fellow American rapper Nate Dogg. It's the second and final single taken from the former's first compilation album, Curtain Call: The Hits (2005), as well as one of three original songs featured on the album.

Song information

[edit | edit source]

The music video is animated and depicts Eminem and Nate Dogg at a night club.[2] The single was released in early 2006 in the United States where it peaked at No. 6. In the UK, the song was released as a download-only single in April 2006, peaking at No. 28 on the UK Download Chart.

Remix

[edit | edit source]

A remixed version of the song, which adds Obie Trice and Bobby Creekwater, appears on Eminem Presents: The Re-Up (2006). Eminem does not have a verse on the remix; he does, however, still rap the intro to the song.[3][better source needed]

Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

AllMusic wrote a mixed opinion: "sex song that finds Shady sounding as if he's drifting along in his own orbit. "Shake That" has an incongruous Nate Dogg crooning the chorus."[4] Pitchfork thinks that this song is just another "lesser version of Eminem songs that already piss me (critic) off."[5] IGN called it a "rump mover" and wrote a positive review: "a booty shaker, again showing promise in Em's production. It's still a pretty simple bump-n-shuffle number, but it swings with a sense of upbeat minimalism and takes his trademark dark sounds into a slightly lighter venue."[6] Sputnik Music opined, "Shake That features Nate Dogg, and is the quintessential club banger".[7] Rolling Stone called this song a "Nate Dogg throwaway".[8]

"Shake That" was nominated for "Best Rap/Sung Collaboration" at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards, but it lost to Justin Timberlake and T.I.'s "My Love". "Shake That" was certified gold in Sweden,[9] and platinum in Denmark,[10] both due to strong digital downloads.
