Shaquille O’Neal has released five studio albums. One of them, “Shaq Diesel,” went platinum. Another, “Shaq Fu: Da Return,” went gold. His track “Biological Didn’t Bother” was a terrifically told story about the absence of his biological father from his life. It also gave a glimpse into what kind of father he would later become. What made O’Neal shine, however, was his collaborations. The list of artists he worked with in that era is long and elite. He worked with Phife from A Tribe Called Quest. He worked with EPMD, one of the best rap groups ever. He worked with DJ Quik, Ice Cube, Black Thought, Peter Gunz, Method Man and RZA. He has also worked with Nas and Jay-Z.
