He Hits it from Downtown

The mass beckoned, and Shaq supplied. For as long as time could tell, everyone wanted basketball franchise players to rap, and Shaquille O’Neal was the one to satisfy the needs of the public. From the beginning of the CD to the very end, listeners are stunned by a full onslaught of the forceful Shaq-Attack as he bounces beats just as well as he bounces basketballs. The unexpected aspect of the music which is the most captivating is the thoughtful lyrics. Unlike other celebrity made music attempts, Shaq reaches into his soul and pulls out some emotional issues and shares them. The highlight of the album is Biological Didn’t Bother, which tells of the moving relationship Shaquille O’Neal had with his step father Phil, because his real blood related dad wanted nothing to do with him. This heartfelt rap jerks all the tears in ones ducts leaving you wanting more, which is exactly what you get. Shaq is a leader of the people and supplies the demands which is why Biological Didn’t Bother is delivered twice on this astounding musical masterpiece. Surprisingly, the second time you hear this song, it is better than the first, which was originally thought to be impossible.

Another precious pearl of perfect performance is Shaq’s Got it Made, where Shaq tells it how it. Shaq’s got it all, he can play basketball, he can write, he can rap, he drinks Pepsi, he can sing, he’s a love machine, and he can act. Another fine attribute to the personal character of Shaquille O’Neal is his loyalty. While listening to this CD Shaq throws mention to his sponsor at the time Pepsi, which is cleverly worked into one of his raps.

The only down side of this national treasure, is that a certain level of respect is lost for other rappers on the CD such as Redman and Method Man. When rapping on their own, it is not apparent, but once paired against the astonishing Shaq rap, it is clear that these are lesser rappers. Shaq not only casts a shadow over these artists due to his immense stature, but he also leaves them in the dark as he casts a shadow over them with his immense talent. The others can barely keep up as Shaq rolls his rhymes as a professional that can free style as well as his free throw.
