Shaquille O’Neal Does This, Too??

I was just a teenager when the guy who had feet twice the size of mine became famous on the basketball court. You also might remember him for breaking backboards or missing all the foul shots. But did you know Shaquille O’Neal wasn’t just shooting basketballs in the 90s? He was also shooting music videos. From hand checks on the court to mic checks in the studio, here’s Shaq rapping in a song from the early 90s called “What’s Up Doc? (Can We Rock)”…


But wait, there’s more… When I opened up Spotify to find that song, I discovered Shaq is STILL making music! Gosh, is there anything he isn’t involved in these days? We all know he shows up in commercials weekly and besides that success, he’s a successful businessman. But back to the music, oh before we get to the new stuff, here he is alongside the King of Pop in “2 Bad,” circa 1995.


He’s connected to all the famous Michael’s, huh? Maybe he should sign on to endorse Michael’s, the craft store. 🙃 Ok, now for the newer music. It’s kind of like rock/EDM type stuff and I like it. Here’s a track called “Bodies Freestyle”…


Check out more (he has multiple albums) under the name DIESEL. I knew he did music in the 90s but I was so surprised he’s still involved. Impressive and if I had kids I wouldn’t hate if they strived to “Be Like Mike” “Be Like Shaq”… Heck, I want to, too!
