"Shut Up" is a song by American rapper Trick Daddy, released in 1999 as the lead single from his third studio album Book of Thugs: Chapter AK Verse 47 (2000).
The instrumental of the song features a riff of trombones and tubas performed by the marching band of Miami Northwestern Senior High School, where Trick Daddy and Trina graduated from.
[1][2] Writing for AllMusic, Jason Birchmeier commented, "Above all though, Book of Thugs boasts 'Shut Up,' his rowdiest club-banger yet, also notable for reprising the dynamic Trick Daddy-Trina collaboration that had made 'Nann Nigga' such a success two years earlier.
"[3] Steve "Flash" Juon of RapReviews praised the song, writing "the thuggish 'Shut Up' has that uniquely chunky horn funk and simple 'Uh-huh, okay, whassup?
"[4] The music video begins with Trick Daddy at an album signing, and leaving due to being badgered by a news reporter asking him if he plans on "doing it again".
