Such an epic remix needs to have better artwork…
A couple of weeks ago, Rick Ross and Meek Mill dropped “Shaq & Kobe.” While there weren’t a ton of references to the two hall-of-fame NBA players, the track is so tough that you just knew it was a symbol of how hard the former Lakers went in the paint. Today, a remix to “Shaq & Kobe” hit streaming services, and surprise, surprise, it features Shaq and someone who has some Kobe in him in Damian Lillard.
There aren’t a lot of NBA players who move the needle as rappers; two that do and have are Shaq and Damian Lillard. In this remix to “Shaq & Kobe,” they both put up pretty solid verses. While the former brags about his accomplishments on and off the court, sounding like the boogeyman in the process, the latter speaks on his hunger for success and willingness to compete at all times. In my opinion, Dame rides the hard-hitting beat damn there perfectly. Shaq doesn’t, but it’s all good.
No one wants to say it, but I will: Dame washed Rozay and Meek in this song…
