Shake That

A track so drenched in amoral hedonism it would make a porn actor blush, “Shake That” is Eminem’s last Curtain Call single, and one of the album’s three original songs. It closed a chapter of both Em’s and Nate Dogg’s careers: it was Em’s last hit before his 2006-2008 hiatus, and it was Nate’s last big hit prior to his strokes, retirement and untimely death. Notably Nate engages in a sizeable amount of rapping here.
