Shaq a Wack

Shaquille O'Neal f/ Method Man and RZA- "No Hook" (1995)

Watching Shaq at the Pepsi Center last night brought visions of Emmitt Smith in a Cardinals uniform to my mind. The Nuggets simply ran by the Suns, who suddenly look like the over-40 team at your local rec center. Shaq looks like a fatter Greg "Cadillac" Anderson; he barely moves on defense, he doesn’t go for long rebounds, and he has a penchant for virtually camping in the lane.

If Shaq has lost it on the floor, has he lost it on the mic too? Did he ever have it on the mic? Maybe, maybe not, but Shaq and his riches and label (Jive) could conjure up some great guest MCs and producers of the day. Now, if we could just find that Steve Nash hidden verse.
