I'm surprised to hear Erick sermon was one of the ones behind the song, too. This song beats "I know I got skills" and blows "that's how I beat shaq" off the map.
@@BadTV1993 Haha heard both this and Blow Ya Mind back in 1995 and you are 100% correct sir! Guess that's how Def Squad rolled back in the day "flip it on 45 and we can give it to Shaq. We won't get busted for another 24 years and it'll be at least 10 before CZcams is invented"
This song is the American dream for any young person trying to live his or her dream. Shaq made an impact for Hip Hop and the NBA. BEST basketball player that rapped. As a rookie in the NBA he had the opportunity to work with great artists like Erick Sermon, DJ Quik, Peter Gunz, Fu -Schnickens and Biggie. He done a few movies as well and got a championship NBA ring. That is outstanding.
his track with phife dawg is fire. and the joint he did with meth. cant forget his biggie track. And yall know biggie didn't do tracks with just anybody
2020 and this joint is still dope! Shout to the folks that grew up in the 80s and 90s across the 50! NY, Cali, Philly, Detroit, Miami, Atlanta, Jersey, and of course my home Chicity ✊
Man. Shaq is a modern day hero. He shows mad love out here in the Atlanta area. He's been to a bunch h of schools and everyone has seen him. We had Shaq in Hip Hop before Biggie was a thing.
I just want to thank Shaq for showing a Baltimore kid from the projects that just because you're from the hood doesn't mean you can't dream big. Thank you for giving us young black kids a powerful black image to look up to and to strive for greatness just as you did. As a nine-year-old kid I really appreciated Kazaam... it was a lot of racist stuff going on back then with big powerful black images on screen. Me and all my brothers and cousins where in awe!
First cassette tapes for my Walkman in "93" as a youngn was this single & Pacs keep ya head up. Started my personal rap collection with this & never turned back, Shaq had some joints & shared mic time with legends. Cant stop the reign with Big stays on my playlist.
I remember when I had this album on cassette tape 😆😆😆😆 Surprised that I still remember damn near the whole song. I miss the 90's, life was so much simpler then......
@@bobafett317 I so feel what you are saying..... I turned 45 2 weeks ago, try to tell my kids, nieces and nephews, lil cousin etc enjoy life as a youngster while you can.... Because being grown ain't fun as you think it is now... JUST WAIT
Thought he was cheesy because of his other single. But listened to this here about 5-6 years ago. It’s a really good song. Around the time where rappers used old school samples. Loved the instrumental version as well. At that time I was also a big NBA fan. Collected bbl cards lmao and was a teenage Asian girl. Had Beckett magazine with him on the cover with LSU jersey. Now he’s an awesome analyst.
Spring of 94 when this came out. Shaq was a force. I was 16-white teen was who an absolute hip hop head-girls, sports and school was my life. This was absolute fire at the time-Janes Brown and Gap Band samples
I'm Stl rockin due song in my truck...Truss Me!🎶📀🎶ijs Everything Shaq touches he destroys in such a Great way & goes platinum ijs my boy got proof & That's on record!!!💯🎶📀🎶🏀🏆🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Didnt let none down from ur parents to ur kids...even ur ex wife...u will b remembered as a great man...on off the court!!! Definitely a blueprint of one i wud want to emulate b allot like....
This song always uplifts my spirits
Well said👏😎
Me too!
Metoo
i played this today and put me in a better mood
Ditto man, bitter sweet wish my folks would have supported my dreams more.
Real talk, Shaq is a much better rapper than 90% of the rappers today.
You got that right
99%
Let’s not forget Shaq went platinum
@I am no one neither R you shaq also had a ghost ball player 🤣😂🤣 #umadbro
@I am no one neither R you how do you even know? Were you there in the studio? 😂🤣😂, don't be jeloulous
I am no one neither R you maybe you should read the credits again because Shaq didn’t have a ghost writer. That’s all him except for production.
Mr. Charles Stfu .u sound stupid
I am no one neither R you stfu boi u don’t know that and it clearly sounds most his own from the heart freestyle then written the rest his own
Erick Sermon production is still underrated as hell.
I'm surprised to hear Erick sermon was one of the ones behind the song, too. This song beats "I know I got skills" and blows "that's how I beat shaq" off the map.
this is basically a sped up version of BLOW YA MIND by REDMAN with a Gap Band sample over it
@@BadTV1993 Haha heard both this and Blow Ya Mind back in 1995 and you are 100% correct sir! Guess that's how Def Squad rolled back in the day "flip it on 45 and we can give it to Shaq. We won't get busted for another 24 years and it'll be at least 10 before CZcams is invented"
p.s. much respect to both Erick Sermon and Shaq. Big fans of both of those men.
@@Etcher james Brown- Big payback
Outstanding - Gap Band
Yarbrough & Peoples- Dont stop the music
This album is lyrically better than 70% of the trash out today!!!
Hell yeah David 💪💪💪trash out now
More like 100%
More like 1000%
I overwhelmingly AGREE!! The best rapper/athlete's in the game!
It was Hip Hop's golden age. That's why most of that music from that age is so great. The late 80s and early 90s had some good shit.
This was a underrated song
why?
I'm born from my mother but I'm God's creation; perfect line.
That part is way better than any "so-called" rappers today
Pffft, yeah okay lol.
This song is the American dream for any young person trying to live his or her dream. Shaq made an impact for Hip Hop and the NBA. BEST basketball player that rapped.

Russell Adams he raps better then a lot of rappers now 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
He made an impact for hip hop? Lmao. No. No he did not. Hip hop wasn’t influenced in the slightest
His movies were god awful though.
he was rap rookie of the year
@SunRa Heru I totally agree with you. I don't know what that other guy talking about.
I’m surprised it’s more positive comments than negative lol. Shaq may be a goofy, but dude is a legend.
I never saw I'm as goofy but he great
I'm surprised others remember this song. I forgot but googled it couple years ago and added it to a playlist.
" I'm outstanding."
45 years old still here by God's grace and mercy
In Christ Jesus, I'm royal
DAMN THIS SONG STILL GOES HARD AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. BUMPING IN 2020
They should make a movie about shaq. This man did it his way. One of the most successful basketball players on and off the court.
Shaq music was actually dope I bought the CD
You wasted your $...Shaq's rap game is Horrible..Great Athlete, Trashhhh Rapper ! Fact!
@Michael Sciuto idk man this was like the only good track i remember from shaq
@Michael Sciuto No need to Bash current gen rap, that guy was a clown but still we still have some good modern artists, Like Uzi
his track with phife dawg is fire. and the joint he did with meth. cant forget his biggie track. And yall know biggie didn't do tracks with just anybody
@@Biggrittz lil Uzi vert is not a good artist in my opinion.
Still a banger in 2021 🏅
This should be on the next NBA 2k!
Sounds like a track they would use too
I pray they do bc I really feel it would get me to play games again
2k21
2020 and this joint is still dope!
Shout to the folks that grew up in the 80s and 90s across the 50! NY, Cali, Philly, Detroit, Miami, Atlanta, Jersey, and of course my home Chicity ✊
Louisiana
Don't forget Tampa and Orlando all love, they don't make music like this anymore!!!
Yes sir. Cali boy here. #SD #westsideforever
Yes sir Chi City 🙌
This sound like a Erick Sermon production!
It is my dude
I think this is Shaq's best record. Meaningful and smooth production. Strong album too
Yeah Eric sermon is no joke
My favorite off the album. Jammed this so many times
The 1990’s were the GOLDEN era of hip hop.
The NBA too! imo
@@heywellaAnd R&B
Shaq is a great humanitarian and sportsman, talented and inspirational, he outstanding ❤❤❤😎👍💪
Best athlete rapper ever!
That Ole Feel Good Music 90's Hip-Hop The Golden Era!
Yessssirr, those were the good ol days, C/O 96 soundtrack to my highschool years!
Man. Shaq is a modern day hero. He shows mad love out here in the Atlanta area. He's been to a bunch h of schools and everyone has seen him. We had Shaq in Hip Hop before Biggie was a thing.

Shaq was the only basketball player who was serious about rapping
The only basketball player that has raps that are actually good. He didn’t need to have all the jewelry and flash
So you've never heard of Damian Lillard
Master P.......
@@eugenedantzler4485 but master p was like a hustler he wasent that much of a basketball player he just played in the NBA for a while
Kobe Bryant this is your song 🙏🏽
First cassette tapes for my Walkman in "93" as a youngn was this single & Pacs keep ya head up. Started my personal rap collection with this & never turned back, Shaq had some joints & shared mic time with legends. Cant stop the reign with Big stays on my playlist.
Dope Gap Band sample of "Outstanding". For all you youngsters, that's some grown folks music trivia for y'all!
I remember when I had this album on cassette tape 😆😆😆😆 Surprised that I still remember damn near the whole song. I miss the 90's, life was so much simpler then......
Man I swear you ain’t lying. I often just wanna go back and live in the 90’s. Almost 50 now and damn life was so much better back then.
@@bobafett317 I so feel what you are saying..... I turned 45 2 weeks ago, try to tell my kids, nieces and nephews, lil cousin etc enjoy life as a youngster while you can.... Because being grown ain't fun as you think it is now... JUST WAIT
Turning 40 next month 😱 Does that pit in your stomach go away (realizing you're basically in o.g. ? Or damn dear close to becoming one?)
@@adamkondracki3201 nah 😆😆😆. I'll be 46 in a few months and it still throws me off when someone calls me sir or Unc'.....
Erick Sermon dope with the beats
Shaq had a much different voice when he was younger
One of the greatest albums ever!!!!!! Shaq Diesel!!!!!
I’m outstanding! Shaq had motivated me!
Man shaq was like didn’t grew up in a mansion like the fresh prince
This is a good motivation song when you’re pursuing your dreams!!!
I miss the 90s.
I remember seeing this playing on MTV one morning before I left for school,.. 25yrs ago
Shaq can flow rap his 7’3 head off people forget and a baller triple triple……….Talented
Mane I miss the 90’s
R.i.p. Kobe... Sorry for your loss Big Shaq.
Hands Down. Best track
Much love from Chicago shaq

Love this song! SHAQ-FU!!!
I use to love this song as a young teen.
Thanks Shaq!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Still outstanding
This has always been my favorite Shaq song.
My boy would play this song, black superman, brotha lynch, and rock and roll gangster as kids 15,16 years old.1995 RIP
I remember this from a old child hood memory WOW!

Erick Sermon you is a genius
That was the jam back in the day
This song was dope
Congratulations, Shaq.
Is anybody here in 2019 besides me..
I'm here
I'll be here til the year 3000!
No just you!
No
I am here January 2020.
Old school hip-hop shaquill o Neal lm outstanding music
Still Outstanding in 2018
Alden R. Davis SALUTE ! I HAD TO PULL MY WIFE'S HIP HOP CARD LAST NIGHT ! SHE FORGOT SHAQ WAS PART OF HIP HOP !
January 2020
this entire album...idk man, but this track? INCREDIBLE
Charles luther Johnson . This song will go down as the best and most sold single of all time . Dammit !
Man ...I wish Shaq continue his music career.
He dropped a new song not too long ago lol
my jam
Loved this song
I forgot how good he could rap. He was topping charts left and right
Shaq is a role model for children to pursue a successful life
With rap glorifying street life and gang activity to this day, it’s refreshing
This would be perfect for a 2k game!! 💪🏾💪🏾
You’re born from your Mother, but you’re God’s creation. You’re outstanding.
"I'm born from my Mother but I'm God's creation, I'm outstanding" - Shaq Diesel
Spring of 94 when this came out. Shaq was a force. I was 16-white teen was who an absolute hip hop head-girls, sports and school was my life. This was absolute fire at the time-Janes Brown and Gap Band samples
I ran into Shaq in Vegas one day and told him I had the Shaq Diesel CD. He laughed and gave me a fist bump.
Erick Sermon got mad tunes no matter what they say...
Erick's like a beat god master...lol. And, he's lyrically on point too. EPMD was crazy.
Shaq representing brick city
This was my favorite song as a kid
I'm born from my mother. but I'm God's creation I'm outstanding .
My jam
Other songs are memes but this one and can’t stop the reign are really good.
Why does everyone hate on his rapping career. He got a couple of hits.
One of my favorite videos, still.
Not only did Erick Sermon produce this he also wrote it!!!
Long time Orlando resident-I own this album haha Shaq and Penny still the best most entertaining nba duo!!!
This still gives me goose bumps. 2023 and I’m here!
2020 💪🏾😃
The beginning reminds me of the openings to black 90's sitcoms.
Motivation type shit 💯👏🏽
Man I remember when this came out when 7!
I'm Stl rockin due song in my truck...Truss Me!🎶📀🎶ijs Everything Shaq touches he destroys in such a Great way & goes platinum ijs my boy got proof & That's on record!!!💯🎶📀🎶🏀🏆🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
This whole album was dope!
Best use of a sample ever
Still outstanding to this classic in 2021 with the awesome old school music power of classic MTV and Shaquille O’Neal.
Love this song
Erick Sermon made the most heat in the 90's, argue amongst yourselves.
I love this one ❤
Even though the fresh prince was like one of my favorite shows
Outstanding 💚
Still one of my favs. I always been a Shaq fan
All of shaqs albums are great!!!
Takes me back to the 90's those was the good days
He is outstanding.
Didnt let none down from ur parents to ur kids...even ur ex wife...u will b remembered as a great man...on off the court!!! Definitely a blueprint of one i wud want to emulate b allot like....
