Shaquille O’Neal is a multi-faceted talent. While most of us know him for breaking backboards, he is also well-known for his prowess in the music industry. Over Big Diesel’s 30+ year-long hip-hop and electronic career, he has released both a platinum and a gold album. Shaq maintains regular activity in the music industry through his Shaq Fu Radio, letting fans in on what the Big Diesel is listening to.

The four-time NBA champion discusses everything around hip-hop, culture, dubstep and anything in between. The legend even has an app for it. Recently, Shaq dropped his take on a 54-year-old rap legend.

Shaq has followed the rap world for the longest time. He has also worked with several great names in the industry, like Nas, Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G, and many more. So when the conversation began of crafting a roster of rappers, he already had a West and East Coast list on his tongue. Fans were surprised by the inclusion of Detroit’s finest, Eminem but the lineup certainly seems formidable.

Creating a basketball lineup of rappers, Shaq put Lil Wayne at the 1, an icon that Shaq has famously collaborated with. The list only got better from there. Shooting guard Eminem was paired with billionaire Jay-Z on the wing. The last two spots were taken up by Busta Rhymes and Notorious BIG, who Shaq chose to play the 5.

This 54-year-old rapper did not make the list, but he was acknowledged by Shaq for a different reason.  Big Diesel shared a Big Daddy Kane reel captioned, “What’s the biggest “I’m him” moment in Hip-Hop history?” In the video, Kane dropped the mic in the middle of his freestyle only to smoothly recover it and continued the rap right after rhyming, “drop s**t and still making it look good”. The crowd went wild and froze during one of the most iconic moments in hip-hop history.

It has since then been a debate if he genuinely fumbled the mic or if it was on purpose. Given his on-stage charisma and the fact that he rhymed the next line perfectly, fans all over the globe prefer to lean towards the latter. Furthermore, the 54-year-old rapper recently opened up about Eminem.

Big Daddy Kane on Eminem’s Expertise

In a recent interview on the 2023 BET Awards’ red carpet, Kane was asked about Eminem’s segment in his upcoming documentary and working with him. “Honestly, the first time I heard Eminem was Slim Shady. Somebody else played something that he was on before and let me hear. I was like, ‘Yo, he is nice! He’s nice and he’s funny.'”

He continued, “And then when I heard him get real super lyrical, I was like, ‘Oh, nah, this dude is a problem. He’s dope.'” The docu-film is currently in the editing stages and will take another two months to be finished. It will feature legendary artists like Eminem, J.Cole, Jay-Z, and KRS-One among other renowned names.
