Shaq Diesel is the debut studio album by American professional basketball player and rapper Shaquille O'Neal. It was released on October 26, 1993, through Jive Records.
The recording sessions took place at Parc Studios in Orlando, Platinum Post in Winter Park, Beat Street Studios in North Hollywood, and Battery Studios. The album was produced by Erick Sermon, Def Jef, Meech Wells, K-Cut, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad, with Colin Wolfe serving as co-producer. It features guest appearances from Phife Dawg, Fu-Schnickens and Def Jef.
Despite mixed reviews, the album became a surprising success, reaching No. 25 on the Billboard 200 and No. 10 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums in the United States and eventually achieving platinum status by the Recording Industry Association of America on March 21, 1994, for shipping of one million copies.
Three singles from the album also managed to fare well on the charts, with "What's Up Doc? (Can We Rock)" peaked at No. 39, "(I Know I Got) Skillz" at No. 35 and "I'm Outstanding" at No. 47 on the Billboard Hot 100. The first two singles were certified gold by the RIAA for shipping of 500,000 units. A fourth single entitled "Shoot Pass Slam" was also released, but did not make it to the Billboard charts.
