How Shaq Got A Feature From Notorious BIG On His Album

The 90s will always be a golden era in Hip-Hop. Biggie Smalls collaborating with the most dominant big man in the NBA is exactly the type of thing that the game needed. The story is as amazing as the track from Shaq's album.

Shaq really just said there wasn’t enough money in the rap game to interest him.....now that’s a whole different level of rich

[@CertifiedPG]

That’s super recent tho

[@lwrncjms]

That was in the 90's. Rappers were getting ripped off left and right. Now they're filthy rich

[@cactusjack2264]

Well you gotta realize, rappers are actually broke, unless they’re VERY popular and people love their music even so they’re still getting ripped off by their record labels if they’re signed to one.

[@tyreesneed]

@@lwrncjms FILTHY RICH? HA YEA RIGHT

[@MoarMike]

@@cactusjack2264 Facts, most of these rappers are renting cars getting their shit repossessed all to keep up an image. There is no money in rap unless you can tour and sell out shows.

[@DJObiSmalls]

FUN FACT - The connection between Shaq, Biggie & Michael Jackson. 1994 - Biggie's "Unbelievable" song from his debut "Ready To Die" samples R.Kelly's "Your Body's Calling". 1995 - Shaq appears on Michael Jackson's "2 Bad" from his "HIStory" album. 1995 - Biggie also appears on a Michael Jackson track. "This Time Around" from the same "HIStory" album. 1996 - Biggie appears on "You Can't Stop The Reign" with Shaq, dropping two verses. 2001 - Michael Jackson drops "Invincible" with "Unbreakable" initially meant to be the lead song. "Unbreakable" samples Biggie's "Unbelievable" and features a verse from Biggie taken from the second verse from his 1996 appearance on Shaq's "You Can't Stop The Reign".

[@Juan-nf2my]

That invincible album is a classic. All three of em legends god bless the dead

Salute to you and your research sir

[@kennethsmith3565]

Dope

[@Makaveli13Xroy]

MJ was rumoured to have talked to both pac and big about the beef; and wanted to get them together for a tripple collab ; that shit would have been GAME OVER for the rap game; i believe pac was even supposed to be on the Biggie and MJ collab called "This time around"

[@djmontecarlotv]

@@Makaveli13Xroy that’s False AF! Around the time when that supposedly beef was going on MJ was on tour the entire time with the Dangerous tour and doing almost every award show from 1995-1997 when MJ is focused on his career/musically he never listened to any other music, News, any other artist! That MJ x Biggie collab happened because of Dallas Austin (who wrote the song) and DJ premier. Smh you 2pac stans always trying to rewrite history.

[@Chedda3000music]

From the nba, to rapping, to movies, to tv, to businesses.. Shaq really lived many Dream Lives!

Shaq might not be a rapper but he probably has the best collab with Biggie ever released. Work of Art is what that track is. #Salute RIP B.I.G.

When you listen to one of his first tracks "MC New York - Tears of a Clown" you realise pac was a genuis at a young age he just didnt always follow that route. Even in the song he speaks on that, "Confused? you shouldnt be, my facts are stated clearly, Yet my rhyme contains no wild thang so i guess no one will hear me"

Today of course it seems like everybody in sports is/was rappin' at one time from Antonio Brown, Floyd Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr., Marvin Bagley III, Aaron Gordon to Tyron Woodley, Lou Williams, Damian Lillard, Iman Shumpert, Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant etc. There are sooo many...Shaq to me is the best among them though!
