Could Shaq Have Saved Biggie’s Life?

10 mrt 2011, 21:44



[/p]The date March 9th holds significant meaning for those of us in the hip-hop community. It was on this day fourteen years ago, Christopher Wallace aka Biggie Smalls was brutally murdered in Los Angeles, while promoting his double CD 'Ready To Die'. March 9th is a day that will be forever etched into hip-hop culture's mind, which is evident when Can-I-Bus so eloquently spit: "The Greatest Rapper of All Times Dies on March 9th"[/p]Basketball legend Shaq weighs in on the night Biggie was murder. According to Shaq, 'he only missed the party because his friend was unable to make it through security to pick him up. Shaq fell asleep instead, and only woke up when his mother contacted him with news about the shooting. Ever since, he's wondered if he could have made a difference on the night, even writing the following in his autobiography' "Shaq Talks Back": "If I would've been standing by his truck, would the killer still have shot? I've always asked that question." Others wonder the same in this clip, including Biggie's cousin.[/p]

I'm not really feeling this track with the heavy auto-tune induced vocals of Timbaland. Nevertheless, Breezy comes to save the day when he croons about a foolish who throws his heart away.
