“Booty rappers stay booty.” He said it, not me. I remember opening up Shaq’s debut tape (yes, tape) Shaq Diesel for Christmas the year it came out and listening to the whole thing straight through that same morning. I remember being disappointed.

Ahhh, I remember getting this TAPE as well. I remember being disappointed with the album too…I didn’t hold it against him though because it was pretty new that a baller would rap in those days. He could be called a pioneer in that sense. haha
Shaq Fu, I will hold against him though. That game was soooo hyped but was sooooo horrible.
Boom shacka lacka boom.

This was my fave song off that album though. You can’t deny Erick Sermon.

“All i can think of is Shaq, Kobe (painful), Artest and TONY PARKER!! who can forget tony parkers ‘french rap party’ What a fool. Youtube that ish.”
You made me laugh at work…
I can’t stand Parker, nor the rap but I think I heard him one or twice and it was so fucking risible, and it’s a French who is talking.
