to be honest, i've seen interviews with Shaq where he just sounds slow and stupid. but he actually speaks rather well when he's dropping science on the mic. he sounds more normal.
Ive been in the camp that shaq needed to stop rapping like 20 years ago, however I got a good laugh at this one, and didnt think is was totally horrible. He seemed to warm up in the middle as he started to feel his flow.

Shaq may be slow when he talks. But I certainly don't think he ever came across as stupid.
I'm a very blunt person. But this pretty much trumps my life's work in that department I think.
Anthony

i really would just love for Shaq to win a ring without Kobe, to really hammer home the point that Kobe is nothing without a dominating big man. shit, Kobe and the Lakers didn't even get good until they stole Gasol from Memphis. but seriously, if Shaq ever won again it'd be the greatest thing. what an asterisk there'd be next to Kobe's name.
i don't get the "how my ass taste" part though. don't know what he was trying to say, but i think it's just great - at least we know where Shaq stands with regards to Kobe.

1. He won with Kobe. With Dwayne Wade.
2. How my ass taste is in reference to the girl that Kobe is accused of raping. Reports indicated something about anal sex taking place, among other things.

Shaq is seriously the worst rapper ever. Even when people are ghostwriting shit for him, he can't spit worth a lick. It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad. I mean, at least Kobe GOT to the Finals with a bunch o' scrubs. What did Shaq do in Phoenix but LITERALLY drag them down?

Scrubs? Odom and Gasol aren't exactly "scrubs". Also, is it fair to compare a player who is 36 years old to a 29-year-old player who is in his prime?

Compared to the awesome threesome in Boston? Scrubs might be harsh, but the sentiment wasn't too far off. You gotta have at least one other bonafide star on that team. Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol don't qualify.

He even took a shot at The Captain...?
Anthony
06-23-2008, 08:20 PM
it's funny, ESPN.com printed the following (quoting what Shaq said during his freestyle):
He also implored the crowd to sing along to his oft-repeated chorus: "Kobe [expletive], tell me how my [expletive] tastes."
lol, that leaves a lot to the imagination. i would've thought a whole lot worse filling in the blanks.
"Kobe, dear sir, tell me how my clams casino tastes."

Basically, he said it was all in fun and that he didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. Also, he said when him and Kobe were teammates they used to rap with each other and say worse things about each other.
I'm not into rap, but I thought it was pretty tame and in the tradition of freestyle rap to take these sort of shots at each other without it meaning much. Of course, Shaq and Kobe's history makes it seem much worse.

Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol don't qualify.The "sentiment" was Lakers in 5, maybe 6 before the series started. Pau Gasol was the perfect fit for the triangle offense big man and people were speculating it could be the start of a mini-dynasty.
This rap sucks, but not nearly as much as the media (read: ESPN+clones) breathlessly reporting on it as if it is more relevant than actual sports news.

So the girl told Kobe to tell her how her ass tastes? Or did she do something to Kobe's ass and then had her put the implement into her own mouth, with the understanding that she would tell him how his own ass tastes?
And in the end, wouldn't he expect her to answer with something along the lines of "it tastes like ass."

that's like a homeless cat havin' more figures than me
that's like Patrick Ewing havin' more rings than me"
I don't see anything wrong with that. It makes sense, and it's not insulting unless you happen to be Patrick Ewing, which also happens to be hilarious. The whole thing is awesome wrapped in a big bow of Shaq.

06-24-2008, 02:43 PM
Look at the line that Lathum copied! What the hell does that even mean. The lyrics aren't good at all, in the slightest.
to be honest, that is a blatant freestyle. now, i think if you were to be brought up on stage right this very moment and asked to rap off the top of your head, if you could even get words out, more than 2 sentences worth, i'd be surprised. for a freestyle, its very decent - he didn't stumble. can he freestyle with the best of them? no. but if you can make complete sentences off the top of your head and be able to get the crowd chanting along with you then you can walk away with your head held high.
when in doubt, always go the anal route. how the ass tastes. how the ass smells. what you put in other people's asses. what the other guy's mom puts in her ass. ass is safe when freestyling.

And by the way, don’t forget, six albums, two platinum, two gold. Anybody who knows me knows I’m a funny freestyler.

PHOENIX -- Shaquille O'Neal will lose his special deputy's badge in Maricopa County because of language he used in a rap video that mocks former teammate Kobe Bryant.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said the Phoenix Suns center's use of a racially derogatory word and other foul language left him no choice. Arpaio made Shaq a special deputy in January and promoted him to colonel of his largely ceremonial posse earlier this month.
"I want his two badges back," Arpaio told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "Because if any one of my deputies did something like this, they're fired. I don't condone this type of racial conduct."

He also holds up the necklace Shaq is wearing that says "BIG" a second before the first time Shaq refers to himself as B-I-G.
It sounds like it could be freestyle because he's just that bad of a rapper. Still hilarious though.
No question he was freestyling. No way he writes that whack a set of rhymes down on paper. You could tell he was just doing all of that off the top of his head. And that he was a little liquored up.

Yes! Psychologists are not medical doctors. Psychiatrists are medical doctors. I'm the latter. :)
It was actually 2 psychiatrists and 2 social workers.

You know what's fun? Calling yourself a "Software Engineer" or "Solution Architect" (both titles I've held) in front of an actual engineer or architect. Hilarity ensues.

I can vouch for the Software Engineer part. That's my actual title right now, and it really pisses off engineers.

or what used to piss me off about 2 of my friends, who, because they held the title "Account Manager", tried to play it off as is they were actual managers. i'm sure they've done this on subsequent interviews and have since got better jobs.
i used to be like "you manage ACCOUNTS, not people in some type of supervisory role you farce of a human".

I don't know what the big deal is. I'm not sure about you, but I went to school for 18 MONTHS STRAIGHT to get to where I am today! 18 MONTHS! I didn't get no summer break, no co-op term, no 2 credit hour semesters. No sir, I pumped out copious amounts COBOL and C for a year and a half, only pausing to sleep, eat, and frequently masturbate.

You hit the nail on the head. We have Marketing Managers here...everyone in the fucking Marketing group has that title. Who the fuck they manage is beyond me!
I love when people say they are Industrial Engineers. All they are is glorified planners...more like Imaginary Engineers!

Your answer is much funnier, but one of the social workers (who isn't a sports fan) said, "Did you hear what Shaq did?" That led to a 30 minute conversation about things such as: How smart Shaq is (or isn't), how funny he is, Kobe vs Shaq, and a variety of other things that I never thought I'd be talking about with this group. I thought it was interesting how much this issue has spread to non-sports fans (or perhaps it was the LSU connection that put it on their radar.)

I took the co-op route and spread my courses over 4.5 years. :cool: I finished before one engineer and at the same time as another. Now both engineers are basically software developer-type people.

at my wife's corporation apparently they give out the title "Assistant VP" like it was an std. she keeps telling me "yeah, but it's not like a real AVP where you're an executive of the company" and i'm always like "so who cares, it looks great on your resume, no one will ask if you work in a cubicle with a title like that".
i'm waiting for Kobe's response. bear in mind he put out a rap album a while ago, where he thought rapping in Italian (i'm being serious) was gonna be a great gimmick and catch on. he performed his song at some NBA-All Star event that was televised i think on that NBA show with Ahmad Rashad.
and btw, what the hell was Ahmad Rashad - a former NFL WR - doing on a show about basketball? has this ever been answered. Summer Sanders was a cutie though. i don't know where i stand on Ahmad Rashad. i'll let you guys know if i'm pro-Ahmad or anti-Ahmad.

4.5 years? Jeez, you must be one of them guys with a 'degree'. Snooty bastard! RRC 4 LIFE!

Haha, I tried out UofM and just stuck with it, but I almost dropped out after 2nd year. All those theory courses sucked ass. A buddy wants to get into the field, so I told him to go to RRC since from what I've seen, it's the same thing, you just get done faster. I think UofM recently changed some stuff with their degree. Combined a couple of courses that I don't think should even be courses anyway.
edit: Sorry HA, it'll go in spoiler tags.

True story:
My official title is "Client Service Analyst I" (which I think leads to being a Client Service Analyst II in a year or two, but I don't really know for sure). When I interviewed for this job, as I was speaking to the woman who would become my supervisor, I accidentally mispronounced "analyst" as "anal-ist."
I guess, in essence, I offered to tell her how her ass taste.
Hey, I got the job.

Sounds better then 'My Wife's Assistant' anyways. And her ass tastes fine, no bad experiences had there yet.
