Shaquille O’Neal has released a freestyle tribute to his late Los Angeles Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant.
Titled “Kobe Bryant Tribute (Freestyle),” the track finds Shaq rapping over Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s “Bitches Ain’t Shit” from the former’s 1992 multi-platinum classic LP The Chronic, and comparing himself and Bryant to not just Dre and Snoop but The Notorious B.I.G. and Diddy.
Shaq was one of many celebrities who shared their condolences to Bryant upon learning of his death from a helicopter crash outside of Calabasas, CA on Sunday, January 26.
