That's How I Beat Shaq

According to Shaquille O'Neal, he first became acquainted with the Carter family in the early 1990s, when Backstreet Boys recorded an early demo at his home studio. "One of my worst mistakes ever was not signing the Backstreet Boys", he reflected, noting that they "recorded their first album in my house" and that he charged them "$5 an hour" for studio time. O'Neal added that he "knew the Carters very well", as Aaron would frequently visit. During one of those visits, the two played a game of H-O-R-S-E, which Carter won. "We had a H-O-R-S-E game one day and he beat me! And then, he came back and said, 'I want to do a song'. And I said sure," O'Neal stated, also agreeing to appear in the accompanying music video. ==Music video==

The video begins with Aaron riding a scooter with a dog playing Frisbee, followed by various scenes of Aaron playing basketball. It then shifts to him telling the story of how he met Shaquille O'Neal, who challenges him to a one-on-one basketball game. In the second verse, Aaron plans to distract Shaq in order to score points. Aaron finally emerges victorious, but it turns out that everything was a dream when Aaron hears his mother's voice. He is shocked, however, when he sees the jersey of Shaquille O'Neal. Throughout the video, Aaron is seen rapping in the basketball court and in the hoop. ==Reception==
