Though I wish I could have gotten to this post earlier, I gotta take some time to reflect on the Shaq freestyle relating to Kobe Bryant. After I picked myself up off the floor and wiped the tears of laughter from my face, I was both amazed and disappointed at the same time. I scoured the internet for news stories and commentary and found out that Shaq lost his Sheriff badges for spitting that…garbage.

Yes, this was one of the worst freestyles ever. However, it is one of the funniest things I’ve seen Shaq do in a long time. You gotta love the big guy. He can say and do what he wants. He’s a 7 foot tall machine with enough money to make people “taste his ass” if he really wanted (yuck). Shaq’s biggest mistake in this freestyle was dropping the notorious endearing version of the N word, meant only to be used by people who look like me. You’ll never see the word in one of my blogs, I don’t wanna give people the wrong idea. After all, I am an articulate black guy. Nonetheless, it’s quite humorous and borderline ironic that he would lose his sheriff badges for making “racial slurs”. I suppose if we are to employ equal treatment, he must be admonished for his actions. After all, if this was a white person it would have been extremely ugly. I think we are still recovering from Kramer’s outburst at the comedy club. *shutters*

“Kobe, tell me how my ass taste” should have been followed with “pause”

Perhaps the best line of the whole thing. An excellent hook that is better sung by Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, or any other member of the Boston Celtics. Regardless of who says it, it’s funny. He really kicked the man while he was down. This still falls way beneath that which 50 cent did to Young Buck (See my other entry). But moving on, Shaq then proceeded to unleash the bitterness that has been brewing within in regard to Kobe dropping dime and shedding light on the obvious fact that he has been sliding off on wifeykins. Superhead (Karrine Steffans) even mentioned that Shaq was quite the sweaty individual in the sheets. All Kobe did was confirm whatever 95% of realistic people already knew about his affinity for women. But damn Shaq, can we get a pause on the ass tasting comment?

Hip Hop continues to make headlines, if you wanna call this hip hop related. For the purpose of categorizing my blog entries, I will refer to it as that. On a positive note though, nobody has gotten shot, stabbed, shanked, choked, swiss cheesed, or hit with a blunt object…yet. Then again, I don’t even know if this is considered a beef. The media has to spin stories like this to keep us entertained. Besides, who wants to hear that SARS has made it’s way back to the United States anyway?
