Shaq is on the attack again.

From the folks at TMZ.com comes video of Shaq taking the mic last night at a New York City club. Among Shaq's freestylin' was a little piece on him blaming Kobe for his divorce and mocking of Kobe and the Lakers losing to the Celtics in the NBA Finals.

The best part of the song is the audience participation where he urges the crowd to sing the chorus, "Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes."

This is pretty surprising because for the last year or so both Kobe and Shaq had been downplaying their feud. What brought about this volley is unknown. Or could this be Shaq's way of punking us parasites in the media and blog world?

Who knows, but it's a damn catchy song!

UPDATE

Just as I suspected. Shaq is backing down. Telling blogger-extraordinaire Stephen A. Smith from the evil four-letter network, he just said it was done in fun.
