Shaq has officially performed the most famous freestyle ever recited.

The controversy surrounding the freestyle revolves around Shaq making Kobe the butt of most of his punchlines during the freestyle session repeating the phrases “Kobe couldn’t do without me” and “Kobe, tell me how my ass taste” (with an insinuated “no homo” I guess).

I woke up this morning to SportsCenter, “Mike and Mike In The Morning” and more middle-aged white guys than I ever thought I’d see analyzing the art of going off the top of the noodle. They apparently think that this video shows how Shaq still has ill feelings about Kobe from all those years of beefing on the Lakers. Of course, Shaq says it’s all in good fun. Especially the lines:

“That’s why I’m getting divorced. He said ‘Shaq gave a bitch a mil’/ I don’t do that cause my name is Shaquille/ I love ‘em. I don’t leave ‘em. I got a vasectomy, now I can’t breed ‘em.”

Ha…ha?

But really though, I could give a shit about the Kobe thing, but when dude starts talking about his vasectomy, someone should’ve started the Hack-a-Shaq to force a sub.

Of course, Shaq released a statement:

“I was freestyling. That’s all. It was all done in fun. Nothing serious whatsoever. That is what emcees 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 wrapping about Vlade Divac during my first championship run. Please tell everybody don’t make something out of nothing.”

I don’t know if anyone read that like I did, but to me that paragraph said:

“blahblahblahTWOPLATINUM,TWOGOLDblahblahblah”

*Sets rhyme book on fire*

The only thing that would be mildly rewarding from this video would be if someone in the mainstream media asks:

Hey, who’s that little guy with the mic next to him?

Here’s a video of said “little guy” to counteract all this bullfuckery

Ahhhh…I feel better.
