The best. Originated as a term to describe high quality drug substances. IE, "this is good shit."
Evolved to common usage for any item of high quality. However, in typical usage, the article "the" is required to denote superiority. Without the word "the" prefacing the word "shit," a different, usually negative, meaning applies.
