In Brief
New team, new ‘tude, better tunes. Shaq’s Hollywood credentials might still be questionable, but on his third album the basketball star does a more-than-credible turn behind the microphone. O’Neal should keep his day job (it certainly pays better), but he’s no longer a rap laughingstock--an accomplishment in itself.
