It's no secret that Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal had their differences during their last season together on the Los Angeles Lakers. That ended with Shaq heading out to Miami to join the Heat. Over the seasons it appeared that Shaq and Kobe made up and were all cool and the gang. But the other night footage of Shaq freestyling at a New York City club appeared online and he had some choice words about the Kobester."You know how I be/Last week Kobe couldn't do without me.../I'm a horse/Kobe ratted me out, that's why I'm getting divorced/He said Shaq gave a b*tch a mil/I don't do that 'cause my name's Shaquille/I love 'em, I don't leave 'em/I got a vasectomy, now I can't breed 'em."
Regardless, clubgoers enjoyed the freestyle, but now it's getting spread all over the sports world and analysts are dumbfounded. To clear things up, Shaq spoke with ESPN's Stephen A. Smith saying:
"I was freestyling. That's all. It was all done in fun. Nothing serious whatsoever. That is what MCs do. They freestyle when called upon. I'm totally cool with Kobe. No issue at all. And by the way, don't forget, six albums, two platinum, two gold. Anybody who knows me knows I'm a funny freestyler. Check the NBA DVD when I was rapping about Vlade Divac during my first championship run. Please tell everybody don't make something out of nothing."
Whether it was malicious or all in fun, the bottom line is, Shaq isn't too shabby off the top of the head. Check the video after the jump:

"...tell me how my ass taste!" Ehw, that is disgusting as hell. Y the hell would he even think of having another man near his ass? I know it could have been a figure of speech but dang! I just hope Shaq was drunk that night...if so, only then can I forgive him for getting on stage and "spittin'" such a terrible, (what I would imagine ass to taste like) freestyle! I can't wait to see the two on court again battling it out. The battle needs to be kept off of the mic. and on the court exclusively!!!

Shaq should grow up. He is too old for that kind of foolishness. He did win in Miami, but D. Wade carried that team to a championship. Shaq could never be the player that Kareem was. If Shaq was 6'6" tall he wouldn't be in the NBA. Make a free throw man. What kind of example are you setting for YOUR kids? Not to mention all the little kids that look up to to you. He is no Sherriff

Shaq is such a punk. Haters constantly talk about people they envy that's why Shaq is always talking about Kobe. A reall bit** move...as usual. I guess now that he is a has been on the court he wants to try to get respect as a rapper. Please - remember the Fushnickens (however you spell it)? Maybe he's secretly gay and is in love with Kobe. No matter what the real reason- Shaq is sickening and ever-desperate for attention, even if he has to be a big backstabbing fool to do it. Keep on shuckin' and jivin' to diss your black brother. Willie Lynch would be proud.
