'This Magic Moment' relives those heady days in the mid-90s when Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway ruled not only pro basketball, but popular culture as well. The two stars deliver delightful but brutally honest testimony, and so do the executives, coaches, teammates, observers and opponents who were there for the stardust and poof! -- the breaking of the spell.
Laced with archival footage, 'This Magic Moment' is not only a trip down memory lane, but also a cautionary fable about what might have been. In the words of Nick Anderson, one of the most compelling figures in the tale, "There are short stories and long stories, and ours was a short ride." Short, yes, but also rich and telling and endlessly entertaining.

Biggie Smalls & Shaq: A Larger Than Life Friendship Video
I've thrown together a few rare Biggie tracks on some hip hop nerd shit for you to download.
01 - Biggie Smalls Last Live Freestyle
02 - The Wickedest
03 - The Ugliest [prod by J Dilla] - alledged 2Pac diss track
Biggie used to write for Lil' Cease and Lil' Kim. The next two tracks have Biggie rapping the verses he wrote for them on some 'say it exactly like this, ok'. So with 'Players Anthem' you get two verses from BIG, which is dope. And on 'Queen Bitch' you get BIG rapping like he was a chick, which is odd.
