Playa you must like a 14 years old of sumthin'. Shaq has two platinum albums...did Biggies write those too. Go down to the local Jr. college & enroll in Hip Hop 101 so you won't look like fool around you homies

For a minute I thought it was "Shaquille O'Neal as a Raptor", I got a little scared. He would have sucked, just like he did on the mic. ahaha.

Shaq Diesel and Shaq-Fu actually weren't bad at all...his voice is what killed his ability to flow on point all the time, but in reality his lyrics aside from some of the basketball references wre bad at all, and he's definitely not garbage...No Hook was dope...

how ya like me, i drop bombs!

"tell me how my ass tastes" might be the greatest line in hip-hop history IMO..

It was average at best.

Now here's a line that is HOF material.

I'm pushing his eyes way to the back of head, let'em see what he gettin into
A part of his mind that he never been to -Rakim on the Punisher.

But oh yeah we'll be using that "Tell me how my ass taste" . You can count on it.

Apparently he wears the number 32 because that's how many records he sold.

with 2 certified platinum albums and 2 certified gold albums, Shaq has sold over 6 million copies, not including singles, two of which went gold...

Shaq's rap career>>>>>>Ron Artest + Chris Webber + Allen Iverson + Tony Parker + Gary Payton + Dana Barros + Cedric Ceballos + Troy Hudson combined...

How many copies you sell is not indicative of how good of a musician you are.

I know, but I thought I'd warn anybody after you who wanted to use those statistics as justification. Shaq is a better rapper than other "athletes turned rapper", but he's still not on the level of anyone notable in hip hop.

This is pretty interesting; a sampling of rap songs from NBA players:

I like "Ya Don’t Stop", by Dana Barros, Cedric Ceballos, and Sadat X. It sounds like something Gang Starr or Tribe would've done in the early-90s.

The beat on "Livin’ Legal and Large" sounds like something from NBA Jam...

Shaq is a TERRIBLE rapper.

Maybe terrible is strong word, he can be funny some times, but overall he's pretty bad.
