In the Sun" we sang our own track (mixed waaaaaaay, I mean waaaaay down low) that said "Iverson" ....only the scaredy cat engineer &amp; us 2 knew about it;)...anyway Shaq was on the show last week and this was the moment right after we finally fessed up:):):) A photo posted by James Poyser jamespoyser) on <time style font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px 

 

line-height:17px;" datetime This is such an excellent story. So, Shaquille O’Neal was a guest on Jimmy Fallon’s show recently, and spent some time hanging out with Fallon’s house band, The Roots, only to find out about some decades-old sabotage. As explained by longtime collaborator

 

current member of the group James Poyser, members of The Roots worked with Shaq on a song called “In The Sun” for his 2001 album Shaquille O'Neal Presents His Superfriends, Vol. 1, which was never released (but holy crap, those are some impressive features.) According to Poyser, he and Questlove — both Philadelphians — were annoyed enough at Shaq’s Lakers beating their  born to West Palm Beach and his momma Lisa Brown, will handle that honor Thursday. But that distinction comes looming with a nightmarish history. There is a plight black people face in Boston and black athletes have learned there as friend or foe.It’s taken 57 years, and the Patriots have only ever dressed six other black quarterbacks: Onree Jackson (who never played in a game), Condredge Holloway (who never played a game), Eddie McAshan (who never played a game), Michael Bishop (whose only game was in relief in 2000), Rohan Davey (the 2004 MVP of NFL Europe), and Jay Walker (who also never played).So when Brissett — who in two quarters of play holds every record for black quarterbacks in New England at the pro level — struts out of the tunnel Thursday, it will be important. He will be playing for Boston, a place with a long history of brutal disregard for both black athletes and its black residents
