So, by now most of you have heard about the major shitstorm caused by this video clip that's been floating around the Internet over the past few days. Shaq, in another attempt to convince America of his "talent" as an MC, decided to grab the mic at a New York club and lay down a freestyle rap about how great he is and how much Kobe Bryant sucks. If you haven't seen it then you would be wise to check out the video after the jump as Shaq masterfully rhymes the word me with me roughly 47 times. Get used to Shaq doing more and more stuff like this as his NBA career enters its twilight and he looks to expand his repertoire as an "entertainer". Oh boy, just what the hip hop world needs, another jackass who thinks he can rap!
Yeah, I know it doesn't require a leap of faith to recognize that Lindsay Lohan is a terrible singer. It's not like anybody in their right mind would have high expectations for any song she puts out, but even when you set the bar as low as it can go this song manages to achieve unprecedented levels of awfulness.
And yes, celebrities who fancy themselves as musicians are almost always too easy to ridicule (except if your name is Zooey Deschanel), but Lindsay's latest attempt at "singing" is practically begging for a chorus of insults. I don't know who she thinks she is (honestly, I don't believe she has the answer either), but somebody in her inner circle needs to step in and stage an intervention the next time she has the urge to step inside the studio. You'd think her girlfriend would have the decency to talk her out of such an assured disaster (I mean, she is a DJ. Although apparently not a very good one if she lets Lindsay make this crap), but perhaps love is also deafening on top of blinding. It's just a shame that the rest of us with perfectly good hearing have to suffer.
