Shaq: “I Know I Got Skillz”

“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.

    every time i think about the fact that this guy went platinum makes me vomit. dont get me wrong, he’s one of my favorite ball players in his prime, but do yourself a big favor big ficus, and put the mic down.

    -im out like shaq’s sperm “now i cant breed’em”

    I cant even front, I still play this song on occasion, that beat is on point

    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.

  4. fallinup says:

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

  6. Celts Fan says:

    Who was worse? Master P as a basketball player or Shaq as a rapper?

  7. ERIC says:

    stick to basketball, shaq.

    no rap
    no movies

    SHAZAAMMMMM!

  8. Jeffrey says:

    The first problem with that statement is you even having his tape in the first place to begin with

  9. fallinup says:

    There you go Dime, I just thought of an article. NBA player rap battles. Post a music video of two baller/rappers…and let us crush on both. :p

  10. justice says:

    The “Basketball’s Best-Kept Secret” album had songs by Dana Barros, Gary Payton, Malik Sealy, Jason Kidd and Brian Show, among others.

    Troy Hudson also raps.

  14. it aint easy being green says:

    what about the timeless “whats up doc, can we rock?”
    and speaking of shaq-fu, does anyone remember the mj video game? i forget the title but i think it had something to do with the windy city.

  15. MoxWestCoastRep says:

    T-HUD

  16. Celts Fan says:

    Ya, I’ll never forget Troy’s opening week. It was reported he sold 17 copies nationwide. Not 17000, not even 1700, SEVENTEEN. (and that’s 17 too many)

  17. T Dubbs says:

    The best athlete rapper ever was obviously Roy Jones Jr.

  18. Sho-Nuff says:

    Y’all musta forgot-Roy Jones Jr.

  19. Quest??? says:

    ummmmmm no shaq you donnt got skillz………best athlete rapper is allen iverson and i aint even saying it cuz hes my fav player, 40 bars was tight

  20. kowtz says:

    exactly why he doesn’t deserve to be in the HOF,,,

  21. kowtz says:

    check out “lost in the sauce” by malik sealy…

  22. karan says:

    the ‘kobe – tell me how my ass tastes’ song makes shaq the best rapper ever

  23. Jay26th says:

    Kazaam tops Shaq-fu any day.

    “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.
