Shaquille O'Neal is a man who needs no introduction, one of the biggest basketball players of all time both in terms of height and status. What is perhaps not as well known is the fact he had a music career.
This was no one off novelty record though. He released 4 rap albums and this was happening alongside his basketball career. In addition he also DJs.
Being first and foremost a basketball player he was always going to have his critics regarding anything else he does. He was seemingly accepted amongst the rap community though. This record features The Notorious BIG and made the Top 40 just before his death. Additionally Snoop Dogg includes Shaquille O'Neal amongst a bunch of other rappers who are "down with us" in one of his tunes.
As far as the UK Top 40 went though this was it for Shaquille O'Neal. Had basketball been more popular in this country then this record may have charted higher. Then again, given we have footballers releasing records that flop, maybe not.
