Breaking down Damian Lillard's coldest lines in Shaq diss track

Breaking down Damian Lillard's coldest lines in Shaq diss track image

Damian Lillard has taken aim at Shaquille O'Neal's rap skills, his choice in women and more in a new diss track.

Notable lines from Damian Lillard's Shaq diss:

"Shootin' need work like your free throws ... and Kobe won you them rings, though."

O'Neal has a career 52.7 free throw percentage. He won three of his championships as a member of the Lakers (2000-02) with Kobe Bryant and one more with the Heat (2006).

"Nursey rhyme spittin', small car sittin', Icy Hot poster boy, TNT snitching."

This is in reference to O'Neal's rap lyrics being (mostly) rated PG. He is an analyst for "Inside the NBA" on TNT. He has also been endorsing Icy Hot for the past 10 years, and the Lakers legend was filmed getting into a smart car in late August.

"New school got new hits, 'Space Jam' not 'Blue Chips,' Hangman yo shoes s—, Dame 6 I'm too lit."

This is a reference to Lillard starring in the "Space Jam" sequel and Shaq's role in the 1994 movie "Blue Chips." Lillard also mocks O'Neal's signature line of shoes while touting his own. The Dame 6 is Lillard's next release.

"Said that max was little, that 250 million crispy, can't recall you getting that when I was cruising on a 10 speed."

Lillard signed a major extension this past offseason, bumping the Trail Blazers' commitment to $250 million over the next six years.

"Said yourself that I'm a Tesla no longer need diesel gas, kind of like the Cavs ain't really need 'Diesel' ass, and even in Miami won that on the strength of 'Flash'."

O'Neal played one year for the Cavaliers at the end of his career when he was well past his prime. Lillard also uses Dwyane Wade's nickname here to say that O'Neal only won a championship with the Heat because of Wade's play.

"All the money the world but they traded you for Penny."

The Magic chose to let O'Neal leave for the Lakers in 1996. 

Lillard released the track five days after O'Neal tore him apart in a diss track of his own.

So how did this whole thing get started?

In early September, Lillard went on "The Joe Budden Podcast" and claimed the only reason why people liked O'Neal's rapping was because of his NBA career.

"I think I rap better than Shaq," Lillard said. "I think he was viewed as Shaq. People [weren't] looking at him like he was a real rapper. They was like, 'That’s Shaq rapping,' so of course, it was a big deal."

Will Shaq respond — again?

Regardless, Twitter is loving the battle.
