Lol yup, I remember this got heavy rotation and Xzibit's tribute to the Lakers with his song "front 2 back," where he switched the words to "back to back" when L.A. was dominating with their back to back championships.
Never did I think there would be a day when Shaq, a commonly considered C list rapper back in the day, would out perform the average “A lister” in the current day.
Shaq is a beast! He was one of the first athletes to cross over to music and film and entertainment and do it well. He proved athletes have crossover appeal and can become their own franchise.
This song should've been a massive hit in the world and not just LA only. I've listened to the whole album and it sounds very good. The album could've gone gold at least but I guessing since they see Shaq more like an NBA player than a rapper at the time so they didn't put the right promotional and marketing tools and the needed team behind the album to push for it to succeed nationwide and even worldwide.
You know you are deep in the world when you have snakes in the video. I would never!! ever!!! have no!!! snake around my neck. DJ Quick with that snake he is crazy!!!!! to have that snake around his neck.
I remember this being played all the time when I lived in LA, it was a banger tho, still is tho honestly, Shaq was one of the few, besides A.I. that could really rap
Shaq brought it hard on this one! Got Peter Gunz in the house! Yesssss! Sirrrrrrr! On to the next state to bring it to your idol, bring it to your whole team and bring home the title! Lmao! That is a dope ass verse! He backed it up too by bringing home the title! Big Shaq! DJ Quik own the productions! Funky ass song!
SHAQ the RAPPER, SHAQ the B-BALLA, SHAQ the COP, SHAQ the DOCTOR....There's NUTHIN SHAQ CAN'T DO!!! Well...hit those free throws, SHAQUILLES HEEL! But even THAT just made SHAQ more REAL. SHAQ MY ALL TIME FAVE!!! XXX♡♡♡
a lot of negative comments on this - although not sure why, its a pretty good track - certainly better than all this trap crap that has emerged in the last few years imo
WORD. People need to listen to the OG's: Big Daddy Kane, EPMD, Rakim, Wu-Tang, Souls Of Mischief, Hieroglyphics, A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, ChinoXL and soooooo many other OG's who are lyrically and street credibly superior to these cats the last 15 years.

This song was a massive hit in the LA area back in his Laker days. Heavy rotation on LA radio.

+David Duarte I remember just barely I was really young at the time.
+k5lta can you subscribe to me and I'll subscribe back to you
I remember. KBBT AND KPWR in early '97.
👍
All these years later, still slappin'
I remember this song. It was a hit in los Angeles in the mid 90's.
I'm still bumping this song in 2023 going into 2024!
Me too.
1 of the best beatz D.j.Quik produced in the history of the west coast music.
Ahh yes, the legend, DJ Quik himself. Another timeless classic.
Actor, rapper, elite of nba, 57 of shoes, lot of money, he is a legend
and now hes making a sequel to his game..SHAQ FU : A LEGEND REBORN!!!
Alex has nothing to do with his success
Edoardo Cavalcante no hes wack
Edoardo Cavalcante
He has a PHD now,add Dr to your list.
*freemason
DJ Quik one of the most underrated producers ever. He killed this track for Shaq.
This song is actually smooth. Nice west coast feel cruising in the freeway type of song
nvscamb Will you please tell these Mf's what time it is.
nvscamb yeee yeee
Somtimes u gotta go back
The track is SICK!
@@derrickcooper4856 for real DJ Quick was dope for this beat!!
I reminisce and recall the 3peat laker day parades.. this bumpin on 92.3 the beat.. good ole days
Hell yea
More like Power 106 lol
Interesting
Those were the days this right here 2021 is sh@#$$ and F!##$ BS.
Nigga, this song was a massive HIT! Not sure why Shaq stopped rapping. He was nice.
DJ Quik. Love it. Everything he produces is a classic to me.
+Prince R. DJ Quik produced this?
+Isaiah Hauck yeah, can't you tell? The funky bass, the g-funk background vocals, the guitar. Shaquille made a little reference to his name, too.
+Isaiah Hauck he was in the video too
DJ Quik was the s@#$
Had every nigga claimin' he was from the CPT
y'all remember
One time tried to clown
We had to burn this b@#$% on down
U bleep everything but nigga. Nice.
I'm 43 this year and this song still makes me want to lace up the kicks and play some ball
I'm 40 my brother and I still lace up G just do it bless up.
RIP Kobe Bryant ! 🇺🇸😥
Amen!!!
He killed it with Brian Mcknight. hey could have made a rap songs together
Lmao he forgot to deploy his FORTNIGHT glider
@@Safehouze__ Ong
this song STILL sounds so good! just like I remembered when we used to have the CD
OFC it still sounds good. Rap died in 1999 with Big L but was put out of its misery in 2004 with Ol Dirty Bastard.
RIP LEGENDS!
Better than 99% of the rap that’s out there today!
Way damn better..
More like 100% 💯
Never did I think there would be a day when Shaq, a commonly considered C list rapper back in the day, would out perform the average “A lister” in the current day.
Facts
Said no one under 35
A pure classic back in late 90s 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥇
Mid 90s
Id never hurd this song before, fark this is dope
Dj Quik - the best producer and beat maker ever !!! Remember this !
Shaq is a beast! He was one of the first athletes to cross over to music and film and entertainment and do it well. He proved athletes have crossover appeal and can become their own franchise.
MJ proved that as an actor first, buddy.
onlyone23km Please re-read my comment before you post....buddy.
So did OJ
MJ wouldn't dare pick up a mic tho lmao face it shaq is the KING of athlete rappers
@@BlueSkyCrystals Oj was also a murderer, so he has the trifecta.
