FUN FACT - The connection between Shaq, Biggie & Michael Jackson. 1994 - Biggie's "Unbelievable" song from his debut "Ready To Die" samples R.Kelly's "Your Body's Calling". 1995 - Shaq appears on Michael Jackson's "2 Bad" from his "HIStory" album. 1995 - Biggie also appears on a Michael Jackson track. "This Time Around" from the same "HIStory" album. 1996 - Biggie appears on "You Can't Stop The Reign" with Shaq, dropping two verses. 2001 - Michael Jackson drops "Invincible" with "Unbreakable" initially meant to be the lead song. "Unbreakable" samples Biggie's "Unbelievable" and features a verse from Biggie taken from the second verse from his 1996 appearance on Shaq's "You Can't Stop The Reign".
MJ was rumoured to have talked to both pac and big about the beef; and wanted to get them together for a tripple collab ; that shit would have been GAME OVER for the rap game; i believe pac was even supposed to be on the Biggie and MJ collab called "This time around"
@@Makaveli13Xroy that’s False AF! Around the time when that supposedly beef was going on MJ was on tour the entire time with the Dangerous tour and doing almost every award show from 1995-1997 when MJ is focused on his career/musically he never listened to any other music, News, any other artist! That MJ x Biggie collab happened because of Dallas Austin (who wrote the song) and DJ premier. Smh you 2pac stans always trying to rewrite history.
Well you gotta realize, rappers are actually broke, unless they’re VERY popular and people love their music even so they’re still getting ripped off by their record labels if they’re signed to one.
@@cactusjack2264 Facts, most of these rappers are renting cars getting their shit repossessed all to keep up an image. There is no money in rap unless you can tour and sell out shows.
@@redh8606 There's a solo Shaq version with completely different verses that are just as good, if not better than his own on the biggie version. Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/IveE_CSimws/v-deo.html
@TRU city Boy if you’re over thirty and still haven’t learned people have different tastes and opinions that’s sad. You’re probably single or in an unhappy relationship :)
Favorite Shaq record is Shoot Pass Slam, Where you at, biological father, Roughneck, Got skills, and so you want to be hardcore, Got it made, and of course no hooks
Dream come true. Facts! Can't stop the rain is hard to listen to without crying. Biggie held back out of respect for Shaq. Listen closely to the record. Big got better each verse. The man was about to loose his freaking mind. That mic was on 🔥
...I wanna hear Big's first bars for "You Can't Stop The Reign." The one that after he dropped it in the studio and after he finished, Shaq told him we can't use that...too explicit.
This brother is like man. Being from Newark it's hard to even say. My aunt used to beat him up. He still humble, funny and generous. That's motivating and inspiring
@@kodyscot9360 yes he said it on his Show when they gave him that hot ass Chip!! He said, “ y’all must not know who I represent” And as he said his Frat that heat started to kick in and he started choking 🤣😂
I bump this shyt EVERYDAY "HOW CAN HATERS STAND THERE AND SAY I SOUND LIKE THEM HELLO PUSH WIGS BACK AND PUSH SIX COOPS THAT'S YELLOW CLUTCH CLIPS TO EXPAND FROM HAND TO ELBOW SPRAY UP YOUR DAYS IN ANY TOWN THAT YOU LAYING
@TRU city Boy i like pac but i feel he went backwards sometimes. When you listen to one of his first tracks "MC New York - Tears of a Clown" you realise pac was a genuis at a young age he just didnt always follow that route. Even in the song he speaks on that, "Confused? you shouldnt be, my facts are stated clearly, Yet my rhyme contains no wild thang so i guess no one will hear me"
Never seen yall two be so nice. No cussing. Just regular guys today. Why does Shaq bring out the gentlemen in everyone? Shaq has that Mike Tyson effect. I think the respect you showed for Shaq and his brand was honorable. Great example for young men.
There was an album in the 90's titled B-Ball's Best Kept Secret that had like a dozen NBA players rappin' - Cedric Ceballos, Malik Sealy, Jason Kidd, Dana Barros, Brian Shaw, Gary Payton, JR Rider, Chris Mills...Shaq was also on it! Today of course it seems like everybody in sports is/was rappin' at one time from Antonio Brown, Floyd Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr., Marvin Bagley III, Aaron Gordon to Tyron Woodley, Lou Williams, Damian Lillard, Iman Shumpert, Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant etc. There are sooo many...Shaq to me is the best among them though! Oh and I don't know if you guys had seen that commercial where Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and a bunch of others were rappin' haha that was bad but very funny! :D
3:33 That track that Biggie said Shaq's Name on was "Gimme the Loot", off his 1st Album🔥. Also the Part here where Shaq said Big said "Im Ready Right now"4:48, Big was Really LIKE That, he could Spit Right off the Top, On the Spot FACTS💯✊🏾. And True, Shaq was only rappin to hav "Fun w his Fav Artists" like he Said. He Neva claimed to be a "Legit Rapper".
@@CityUnderSiegeTV let me guess you a Pac fan 😒…Big is definitely the goat. His verses alone have surpassed the test of time let alone his albums. His peers were calling him the King of NY while he was alive.
@@bobbytrilla6733 I’m a hiphop fan. He doesn’t have enough material to stand the rest of time. His two albums aren’t so great that it’s greater than Pacs 5 or jays 13 etc.
What's your favorite non-basketball Shaq moment in entertainment?
Kazaam
When he fought Oscar Dela Hoya..😂
dancing w/the blue men
When he tripped & fell on set tryna race Kenny to the screen 😂😂😂
Ayooo when that nigga walllo said “MUST BE THE MONEY “ .. I Fuckn GEEEEKED 🤣🤣
Salute from Baltimore City 🤜🏼🤛🏾❤️
Shaq wasn't that bad to be honest...His You can't stop the Reign song is still one of my favorite songs til this day.
broo thats my shiii .... anyone who grew up in the early 90s experienced the best of hip hop
“TILL DIS DAYYY”
That’s a classic ppl sleep on honestly should have a lot more views
true
I wonder why he stopped rapping.

You Can’t Stop The Reign was that JOINT
The JOIIIIIINT
When it starts to faaallllllll
Whole album went off in the streets for sure.
The greatest rap song by a NBA player ever
@@jarrodholmes9701 Easily
People forgot that Shaq-diesel albums in the 90s went platinum status
It wasn't for his rapping skills
@Aaron9 I'm speaking the truth platinum cus he bought the copies
@Aaron9 He's right though. He sounds good on the track but his rhymes were wack lol
@@boosteddaily1294 okay they still went platinum and he wasn’t whack.
@@boosteddaily1294 lmao u spit something better youd look stupid lol Shaq suits rapping if you ask me
Shaq really just said there wasn’t enough money in the rap game to interest him.....now that’s a whole different level of rich
That’s super recent tho
That was in the 90's. Rappers were getting ripped off left and right. Now they're filthy rich

From the nba, to rapping, to movies, to tv, to businesses.. Shaq really lived many Dream Lives!
Video games too.
Don't forget EDM DJ.
That song “ you can’t stop the reign “ is still ..... still..... 🔥 🔥 🔥. Both versions.
Facts 💯
2 versions??
Huh 2
I wish the album was on Spotify

Shaq might not be a rapper but he probably has the best collab with Biggie ever released. Work of Art is what that track is. #Salute RIP B.I.G.
These boys are killing the interview game
Yessir
Yes very good. 👍
No they not, they doing good but killing it is a reach
And he gave him two of his best verses!!!!
If he wrote that line today: “Ashes to Ashes, and dust to dust, if you walk up on Shaquille, then you will get Touched.’
@TRU city Boy they aren’t trash, YOU just don’t enjoy it and that’s completely fine.
@TRU city Boy if you’re over thirty and still haven’t learned people have different tastes and opinions that’s sad. You’re probably single or in an unhappy relationship :)
No Hooks with Rza and Meth was his hardest joint, that shit was crazy in my 85 Cutlass Supreme back in 96!
My favorite Shaq joint, ever!!!
Wu-Tang!!! Wu-Tang!!!!
Favorite Shaq record is Shoot Pass Slam, Where you at, biological father, Roughneck, Got skills, and so you want to be hardcore, Got it made, and of course no hooks
Shaq: “I wanted to be a rapper”
also Shaq: “I never wanted to be a rapper”
I was confused too lol. He said it seconds between each other lol
😂😂😂
Lol
He wanted to be a rapper.... but not as a profession
🤣🤣🤣
"WE THE PEOPLE " DEMAND THE HEAR THE ORIGINAL B.I.G. VERSE ON THAT SONG✊🏽
You never heard the extended version
It’s probably destroyed
One of the best songs made classic shit... Shaq and B.I.G spit bars
Shaq loaded with money but still humble with it
Dudes a gentleman in the highest form 👊🏻
Shaq Was A Beast In His Prime Ain't Nobody Stopping The Diesel
One of the most forgotten and dopest songs from a legend.
been bumping this all day..classic banger
Shaq is the greatest sports emcee! I have all his albums!
Yo that shaq, rza, and method man track No Hooks…goes hard today!
that's one of my fav Shaq & Big song's...timelezz...i wish i could hear that Big verse that he has in the archives
I can hear that Lady now..You can't stop the reign 🎶
Shaq really went platinum as a basketball player goat status lol
When you have Redman, Biggie, Wu Tang and many more on your albums if you don't go plat some is wrong with you 😂
Legend and an all round good guy. Respect Big Shaq👊🏽
Stop the Reign is a classic song of the 90s and the remix .........with Bun B verse is classic
Dream come true. Facts!
Can't stop the rain is hard to listen to without crying. Biggie held back out of respect for Shaq. Listen closely to the record. Big got better each verse. The man was about to loose his freaking mind. That mic was on 🔥

You can't stop the reign is his best album and the features are insane. The beats are classic and Shaq came correct.
I bet it was Biggie who was happy that he got to do something with Shaq, Shaq was a monster in the 90's
I don't care what anyone says, SHAQ aka "towering inferno, invincible smooth individual" is the best basketball rapper of all time.
I bump this shyt EVERYDAY "HOW CAN HATERS STAND THERE AND SAY I SOUND LIKE THEM HELLO PUSH WIGS BACK AND PUSH SIX COOPS THAT'S YELLOW CLUTCH CLIPS TO EXPAND FROM HAND TO ELBOW SPRAY UP YOUR DAYS IN ANY TOWN THAT YOU LAYING

I listen to that song atleast once a week the most slept on song ever it should be played today!
"I rely on Bed Stuy to shut it down if I die,
I put that on my diamond bezels,
Ya messing with the devil, ONE."
Biggie snapped on that last verse 🔥🔥
Legendary!!!
My garage fool of c-lo 4,5,6's if it ain't broke don't fix it.
