Shake That (Remix)
Nate Dogg, Eminem, Obie Trice & Bobby Creekwater · Eminem Presents the Re-Up (Bonus Track Version)
A club anthem built on getting wasted and using people for pleasure.
Where the words land
Signal: At Odds.
What do these signals mean?
- Edifying: Points the heart toward God, truth, hope, or love.
- Worth Weighing: Real good and real concern together. Test it before you take it in.
- Strained: Strains against Scripture: leans toward what could dull or mislead.
- At Odds: At odds with Scripture: celebrates what it warns against. Little here builds up.
Weighed against Scripture
“Get buzzed, get drunk, get crunked, get f**ked up”
“Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.”
The song glamorizes drunkenness as the gateway to the night's pleasure, the opposite of the sober-mindedness urged here.
“I like good p***y and I like good trees”
“Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.”
Paul calls the body a temple to be honored; this verse treats sex as mere appetite and conquest, stripped of any dignity or relationship.
“Some girls they act retarded”
“With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be!”
Demeaning language toward others made in God's image runs directly against this warning about the tongue's power to curse.
“Knows that she can say no but she won't say no”
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.”
Love does not insist on its own way or presume upon another; this line describes manipulation dressed as desire, not love.
The song as a whole
“The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions, and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”
The whole song's catalog of drunkenness, sexual immorality, and self-indulgence reads like a checklist of what Paul names as works of the flesh.
In short
This is party music built entirely around intoxication and casual, often coercive sexual conquest. There's no reaching toward love, connection, or meaning here, just appetite dressed up as a good time. The language objectifies women throughout and includes a slur used as an insult.
- Lyrical content
Explicit sexual content, drug and alcohol excess, degrading language toward women, and a slur used casually throughout.
- Spiritual posture
The song centers on self-gratification, conquest, and intoxication with no reach toward anything beyond the moment's pleasure.
- Apparent intent
Built as party bravado and shock entertainment, the lyrics treat women as objects to be used and discarded rather than people.
What do these ratings mean?
- Lyrical content, what the words say on the surface. Clean: nothing coarse, sexual or violent. Mild: a trace of it, by allusion or a rare word. Strong: profanity, sex or violence in plain words. Explicit: graphic, or sin held up to admire.
- Spiritual posture, where the song's heart points. God-honoring: toward God, truth or hope. Searching: honestly reaching or wrestling toward truth, without arriving. Neutral: spiritually indifferent; neither reaches nor rejects. Dark: despairing, nihilistic, self-exalting or hostile to God.
- Apparent intent, what the song is for. Edifying: worship, encouragement, honest lament. Cathartic: letting grief, anger or longing out, told honestly. Ambiguous: hard to say what the song is for. Harmful: celebrates evil, mocks faith or draws toward sin.
Does this song shape the kind of desire and view of others you actually want to carry with you?
