Revision as of 00:41, 9 August 2009
Shaquille O'Neal (Or Shaq for short.) is a tall ass guy who played for five teams. He started out with the Orlando Magic, then he played with Kobe Bryant in what some called his best stint with the Los Angeles Lakers. He would win three straight championships with him. After he feuded with him due to contract extensions, he would go to Miami to play with Dwayne Wade and the Miami Heat. He would end up winning a championship with him as well, but the cost would be him being injured. It looked like all hope was lost for the big guy until he got traded to the Phoenix Suns. During his time with Phoenix, he would get the best stuff in his entire career, including an All-Star MVP award to share with Kobe Bryant. However, the price to be paid for that was him missing the playoffs (Even though they were really, really close.) for the first time ever (Minus his rookie year.). With that, the Phoenix Suns decided to trade him to Cleveland for a chance to play with LeBron James and probably win a 5th championship. Will he do it? Maybe, maybe not. Then again, no one knows but God, so yeah.
His Time As A Rapper
Back when people considered Shaq to be the second coming of Jesus Christ, people felt that he should able to become a musician. Unfortunetly, Shaq took the public media's advice and he decided to create a few rap CD's. His first CD, called "Shaq Diesel" (It's another one of his many nicknames.) surprisingly got a double-platinum success. It featured Def Jam, Phife Dawg, and Fu-Schnikens. His first (and most popular) single called "(I Know I Got) Skillz" (Which had Def Jam on a verse.) just as surprisingly fared as well as his CD, which was #35 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #3 on the Hot Rap Singles. His second (and last) single from this CD, "I'm Outstanding" didn't fare as well as his first single, but it still had decent success.
A year after releasing the first CD, he released another CD called "Shaq-Fu: The Return." While it failed to have the same success as "Shaq Diesel" (Probably due to the fact that he named his CD after a shitty video game made published by EA {Yeah that's right, EA made published one of the worst games of all time.}.) it still did well enough to get a platinum. "Shaq-Fu: The Return" featured much better guys in Redman, Method Man, and RZA (All of which were from the Wu-Tang Clan.), but it still had unknown fuckers like Ill Al Skratch, Mr. Ruffneck, and General Sha. It's first single, "Biological Didn't Bother," did almost as well as "(I'm Outstanding," but it didn't do any better than it. The second (and last) single, "No Hook" (Which featured both Method Man & RZA.), did even worse than "Biological Didn't Bother," and "No Hook" had two really popular rappers on that song too.
Two years after "Shaq-Fu: The Return" was released, he decided to return with "You Can't Stop the Reign". Thankfully, the public realized what bad rapping skills he had, and his "Reign" stopped in rapping, because it went gold instead of platinum. Surprisingly, he had a lot of rappers on it, including The Notorius B.I.G. (R.I.P.), Jay-Z, Rakim, DJ Quik, Mobb Deep, and Lord Tariq. Unfortunetly, it still had its unknown people and even worse, most of the tracks were just collaborations instead of Shaq-exclusive tracks. The "Reign's" first single, "You Can't Stop the Reign" (Featuring The Notorius B.I.G. {R.I.P.}), did really bad. The "Reign's" second (and last) single, "Straight Playin'" (Featuring DJ Quik & Peter Gunz.), did even worse.
He made one more single called "Men of Steel," which included Ice Cube, B-Real of Cypress Hill, Peter Gunz, and KRS-One. His song was the best charted Shaq had ever since "Biological Didn't Bother" (Most likely due to the success of the other artists, minus Peter Gunz.) and it was a great success. However, the movie which featured this song, "Steel," was anything but that. Unfortunetly, the success of that song made Shaq create one more CD. This (last) CD was called "Respect". Thankfully, people didn't bother with it and he didn't get anything of worth at all. His guest stars were shit and even it's only single, "The Way It's Goin' Down" (Featuring Peter Gunz.), was treated like shit. In short, this CD was just pure shit.
Unfortunetly, he didn't learn from that and he wanted to create one last CD called "Shaquille O'Neal Presents His Superfreinds, Vol. 1." It was going to have many, many guest artists like Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Dr. Dre, George Clinton (R.I.P.), Talib Kweli, Mos Def, and even some musicians from Korn and 311, along with many others. Thankfully, due to 9/11, it was delayed to October 9, and then the day of never. However, one last single would arrive that would've appeared on that CD called "Connected," which featured WC and Nate Dogg. Thankfully, his last single ever would be just that... the last one without any merit at all. He also had soundtracks for "Kazaam" and the aforementioned "Steel," but we'll talk about those films downtown. In the end, not all of Shaq's songs were bad (The songs that had The Notorius B.I.G. {R.I.P.}, Ice Cube, B-Real of Cypress Hill, KRS-One, Coolio, and even Michael Jackson himself {Shaq did a song with him on Michael's H.I.S.tory album.} are great examples of good songs involving him.) but the end result is that his rapping career sucked. But hey, at least his movie carrer was better, right? Right?
His Time As An Actor
Unfortunetly, his movie carrer was even worse than his rapping carrer, and that's honestly surprising. The first movie that he did was "Blue Chips," which is a drama film involving basketball. Shaq played as a center for the Western University Dolphins named Neon Boudreaux. He would get a Lexus for his role. Unfortunetly, the film was average and he was nominated for a Razzie for being the worst new (movie) star. Now when you nearly get a Razzie for a role which you're practically perfect to play for, you know that something's wrong with you for acting.
He'd get a second chance for being in a film. His second chance would, unfortunetly, be in "Kazaam." Shaq would play as a rapping Genie who grants wishes to a young white kid. His disguise would be being a tall guy named Neal Friedman. A highlight to his acting in "Kazaam" is when he says "Let's green eggs and ham it!" The Nostalgia Critic would soon review that movie to show people how horrible it was. You can watch it right here. Of course, if the Nostalgia Critic said that was a piece of horse shit, then so did everyone else. Infact, Scary Movie dissed the movie by saying that it was the worst horror film ever, in which it wasn't a horror film.
A third chance would be in the movie "Good Burger." He would play as himself wanting a good burger. He actually pretty good in this film. Then again, he did be in this film for over a minute or two. Coincidentally, the Nostalgia Critic accidentally found out about him being in the film and thus, it's the second film in a row that would be reviewed by the Nostalgia Critic that has Shaq in it. Once again, you can find his review right here. Once again, the film he would be in was shit and it unfortunetly made him doing yet another terrible movie.
That movie would be called "Steel." Steel was Shaq's attempt at acting like a superhero (Steel is a superhero from the DC Universe.). He plays the role of John Henry Irons, who would later on become Steel. Unfortunetly, his acting worsened from Kazaam, which many didn't know was possible. Infact, his acting was so bad in that movie that he nominated for another Razzie for being the worst actor of 1997. Strangly enough, the Nostalgia Critic found him yet again and reviewed one of Shaq's peices of shit yet again. For the third time in a row, you can find his crazy review right here (As well as hope to God that he doesn't find him ever again in a film.).
I honestly could go on all day long, but I can't, so I'll just tell you which films he appeared in. He appeared in "He Got Game", "A Great Day in Hip Hop", "The Wash" (Which is actually a good film for once.), "Freddy Got Fingered", "After the Sunset", "Scary Movie 4", and most recently, "The House Bunny." He also appeared in commercials and reality TV shows, but I honestly think it's safe to say that he'd be/he's better off doing just that from here on out, because it's clear that his acting is just shit.
