''That sh*t is art yo",
It's hard to say, but a little more context might help. (Maybe not.)What does it mean?
I came across it in the movie ''Jailbait" 2014.
Well, I don't think that's meant literally, but I could be wrong.I'm not sure why "yo" is at the end but "That sh*t is art" is the relevant part of the sentence.

That sh*t is art.What's not meant literally?
It wasn't clear that you were referring only to the word "sh*t".That sh*t is art.
Also, I didn't say it's not meant literally. I think it isn't meant literally, but I'm not sure. If in in that scene they are looking at some poop then yes, it is meant literally.
Well, it's an important part of the sentence. Let's change it to "thing" for a minute. If somebody says "That thing is art" it's pretty clear that the person is referring to some object. However, some people are in the other word rather loosely.It wasn't clear that you were referring only to the word "sh*t".
Unfortunately, that's all too true. That's why I said I wasn't sure about it. (I don't know how to make that clearer.)"That sh*t" is used in lots of variants/dialects and by many people.
The one featuring the young woman.When "yo" is at the end, definition 3 from UrbanDictionary seems right to me, particularly when yo is in harness with "that sh*t":
3. Filler-speech when a need to look "gangsta" is at hand.
By the way @Homayun there are at least two movies entitled Jailbait. One features a young man and the other a young woman. Which are you referring to?
