Why so much hate Shaq? You make yourself look like an idiot when you open your mouth. Your rhymes suck and so does your game nowadays.

But heres the truth Laker Nation. Without Shaq we have no rings. Kobe should be sending thank you notes to Shaq for the three rings that he’s wearing.

KOBE DONT NEED TO SEND SHAQ SH*T!!! IT TOOK A TEAM TO WIN THOSE CHAMPIONSHIPS…SAME IN MIAMI…EACH TIME HE HAD AN ALL-STAR GUARD!!!! LAKERS HAVE FINALLY GOTTEN PAST THE SHAQ CURSE…SO WE WILL WIN AGAIN…SHAQ NO LONGER MATTERS IN LAKER LAND!!!! HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN!!!!

Shaq you aren’t a diesel you just a cactus…jack
We’ll see who laughs last when kobe posterizes you at the rack
He may be down 3-4 but he still has years left
Your @ss is washed up and like your wife n kids your good years left
You’re on the right team we don’t need you
We have kobe, odom, fisher, and big andrew
You may have lost pounds but the lakers are the ones who’ve dropped dead weight
You be distrespectin but unlike kareem and kobe you’ll never be a laker great
Kobe has real shoes, your sh1ts sold at payless
Your retarded @ss freethrow percentage is the reason why you play less
You wanna know how your ass smells? We’ll let nash be the judge of that
Your so desperate you paid for head from a little hoodrat
You’re not even close to superman, more like fat albert with a cape
I think bynum dunking on your dumb@ss is the closest thing to rape
You’re only dissin out of anger and frustration
Cause you know you can’t beat the lakers and the HEART OF ITS NATION

My ultimate view on this, considering myself a rap fan, a kobe fan, someone who occasionally freestyles for fun, and former Shaq fan (not sure what I am now, just objective I guess):

Shaq is and always has been funny. I was annoyed at the petty attack on Kobe especially at this semi-painful time BUT I have to admit that his rhymes are so silly that I can’t help but laugh. C’mon! “Kobe, tell me how my a** tastes” and this part about him having a vasectomy? That being said, don’t blame your divorce on Kobe. And I’ll also clear it up that this was definitely NOT “freestyled,” i.e., this was not off the top of the head. I don’t think he rehearsed it over and over but he had some lines ready and pulled them off as best as he could. Now he’s trying to downplay (which is what he AND Kobe should do). I’ll me damned if this isn’t funny though.

I don’t hate Shaq or anything, I think he is a formerly great player, great Laker, a great entertainer, and kind of a selfish baby as well as bitter and lazy. He can still be a potential game-changer, but not for more than short spurts and those are fading fast. But I still got some love for the Big ‘Fella, Kobesters not perfect either…

ESPN: 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.”

“Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I don’t think that either conduct should be out there publicly, even if media wasn’t there,” Arpaio said.

O’Neal previously served as a reserve officer with the Miami Beach Police Department while playing for the Miami Heat. He also volunteered with the Tempe Police Department after being traded to the Suns in February.

Shaq snitched on hisself,he ratted you out…OH,WORD!…OH!like when you RATTED ON EDDIE JONES AND GOT HIM CUT FROM THE LAKERS,TWICE IF YOU COUNT MIAMI…..and please let’s not forget Stan Van Gundy,everybody in Florida knows YOU GOT THAT MAN FIRED!

Penny Hardaway,Eddie Jones,Kobe Bryant and Dwayne Wade have felt what it is like to be burned by WAQ-DIESEL….JEALOUSY!
