11th, S1

D: Hey bro, did you hear Eminem's last album? It's the shit!
A: Are you serious? I thought it was dope.
D: Ya, it's the shit.
A: What? But shit means it sucks, right?
D:Ya, if it sucks it's shit, but if it's awesome, we can say it's the shit.
A: Oh, so we're the shit!

If you say something "it's shit", it means it's bad, it's awful.
But if you say something is "it's the shit", it means it's great, it means it's amazing.-(Comes from Hip Hop.)

"Dope" used to mean drugs（大麻）, but nowadays young people really like to say, if something is cool, it's "dope".
