Music and the NBA are two things that go together. Over the years, the two genres have combined for some magic. Notably, several musicians have used basketball superstars in their lyrics. Conversely, many NBA talents have also indulged in the art of music, particularly rapping. There is a long list of elite NBA rappers. However, a popular musician believes that no one beats Shaquille O’Neal.

Ever since he became a global star, Shaq has always been a fan favorite. On the court, the four-time NBA champion was one of the most unstoppable forces in the league’s history. Off the court, the Big Diesel is still one of the most marketable personalities. Likewise, when he showed off his hidden talent, the sports world went crazy. Shaq came out with his debut album, ‘Shaq Diesel’ in 1993.

Not only did he see immense success with the release, but the former NBA MVP led by example. It was arguably because of him that other athletes jumped in. Likewise, according to DJ Justin Credible, Shaq is the best NBA rapper ever.

No one can do better than Shaquille O’Neal

Since Shaq, there have been several NBA stars who began rapping. Legends such as Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson got into the world of music. However, the most popular today is probably Damian Lillard. His lyrical genius has sparked a debate about who the GOAT NBA rapper is. Weighing in on the debate, Credible made his pick.

Shaq shared a story on his Instagram from the DJ’s podcast. Credible complimented the Big Aristotle’s rap lyrics. While Dame Dolla got an honorable mention, everyone agreed that Shaquille O’Neal is the best NBA rapper.

Shaq arguably became the stepping stone for NBA rappers like Damian Lillard. His first album went platinum, something no athlete could achieve. In all, Shaq released four albums. His subsequent ones, however, weren’t as successful as ‘Shaq Diesel’. However, his impact remains unmatched. While he has stopped rapping, the three-time Finals MVP hasn’t lost his passion. Currently, he enjoys performing as DJ Diesel.
