Here's the thing.

Shaq Diesel is a certified hood classic.

In 2006, Paris Hilton released the reggae masterpiece "Stars Are Blind". The genre has been downhill ever since.

If only we knew back then, that American History X was actually just a Mark Wahlberg biopic 😂

Paris Hilton plays her public persona just like Fred Durst does in Limp Bizkit. They nailed their craft and got rich off of it.

Shaq also makes dubstep where he goes by DJ Diesel, and he is super popular and constantly plays the biggest EDM festivals in the US.

I love this second channel, feels like the hang zone 😊

“Let’s take a trip down memory lane, back to the late 90s and early 2000s.” Bro that is your entire channel 😂

Wicked Wisdom sounds like Jinjer if they were a local band. Although that led to Will Smith joining Bury Your Dead on stage at Ozzfest so that was pretty cool.

DJ Diesel is actually hard af the EDM/Rave/Festival community has welcomed him with open arms 😂

Paris Hilton straight up said that she played a character. She didn’t slip up and not see a camera, she showed the difference in her voices

I miss the good old days of 5 minutes ago before I had heard the phrase "toe cleavage"

I saw Shaq DJ Diesel do a post game concert at a Phillies game last year, not gonna lie was amazing

*_Kevin Federline - “Popozão”_* *_Brooke Hogan - “About Us”_*

The one thing celebs have going for them when picking up music careers is a lot more connections and financial backing, as well as some brand recognition. The downside is they are subject to a lot more criticism than the average new artist.

You missed John Mayer. Dudes has a stacked hit list of exes.

Stars Are Blind is unironically a fire ass song. I still listen to it, regularly.

Shaq also did a song with Fu Schnickens and came out alive.

I can't believe I thought Jada was a good performer back then, also Mark Wahlberg's on the wild side is probably the funniest rap song I've ever heard

Is it a Finn Mckenty video if it doesn't have Andy Biersack popping in saying "Here's The Thing!"???

We all owe Shaq an apology for not being familiar with his game

Eddie Murphy's "Party All The Time" comes to mind. I actually thought it was pretty cool and could easily make the GTA 6 soundtrack

Rumors is a bop ❤

Jada's band WW was signed to Suburban Noize Records, most famously known for being home of the Kottonmouth Kings. Figured I'd drop this tidbit, knowing how much you love KMK, Finn 😂

Brittany Murphy turned out to be an amazing singer. Had it not been for her untimely death, I think she would have been incredibly successful in that field as well

Lindsay Lohans Father to Daughter is actually pretty good.

Rumors by Lindsay is still a guilty pleasure of mine to this day. I'm fucking 28 lmao 🤣

I actually turned "Stars Are Blind" into a Pop Punk song haha. Guilty pleasure for sure

Finn having a Freudian moment there with the Paris' toes..... We see you, bro... Your secrets safe 😋

My driver's ed teacher taught Lindsay Lohan how to drive and he said she was nice but her parents were such crazy assholes that she never had a chance. I don't think Mark Wahlberg is a darling of woke Hollywood. HIs biggest films are with Michael Bay, who is either apolitical or center right in his politics.

You should absolutely get a sup bro license plate

Can you do this with ‘70’s/80’s Celebrities? Maybe even go international with a few if you know their acting work.

I am old enough to remember when Bruce Willis had a singing career.

Needs more Jared Leto.

Aaaand there it is. 7:57. Finn finally went full Quentin Tarantino. Also, anyone over like 35 has seen _more than enough_ of Paris. I mean, she had those couple of videos..

David Spade and Adam Duritz (Counting Crows) might have better resumes, at least for us 40+ people.

Fun fact, shaq could have signed both the backstreet boys and nsync. On his label. Somehow, they got together, and they reached out, and he thought there wasn't a future in their sound. He said it's one of his biggest regrets. Learned this on his hot ones interview.

Don’t know who needs this in their life, but Shaq Fu went hard

Idk… I still catch myself singing stars are blind sometimes. She sounded like Gwen

10:02: How has no one pointed out the genius of pound for pound GOAT in this context 😂😂😂

i'm sad at the lack of mention of macho man randy savage rap album

HERE´S THE THINGGG!!!!!

The first segment is what it sounds like when you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Wow, had no idea about those Wahlberg arrests. I have legitimately enjoyed him in a few movies, but what a dick. Thanks for pointing that out, he just got a ban from me.

I remember winning a giveaway from the dance music radio station in high school and they included in the prize mailer a CD that had Stars Are Blind and 5 remixes of it. I remember just thinking, "why would they bother to spend the postage to send this to me to throw away?"

8:36 I have a vanity plate on all 3 of my cars and my motorcycle… how much of an asshole does that make me? 😂😂

“A little bit of toe cleavage” is one of the most preposterous things Finn has said lmao

Don't forget Joey Lawrence. Whoa!

paris hilton and britney will forever be my GOATS. also people dont know it but paris's song "Never Be Alone" is an unironical dancefloor bomb

Lonely island deserves a mention

Can you do a podcast with Andy biersack just so you and him can go back and forth saying “ here’s the thing”

Listen Finn, "Rumors" is a low-key banger, I don't care what you say.

Talking about car licence plates: I once Met an American in Nuremberg, Germany. He was totally irritated by the license plate FÜ - CK 666.

Stars Are Blind was quite a big hit in the UK, it actually got to Number 5 in the singles charts. I remember hearing it relentlessly 😂

I still love Paris ❤ never hated her lol 😅

Shaq deserves more respect as an artist

Shaq also did songs with Fu Shnickens and 311. Shaq is the man.

Jada Smith sounds like Yoko Ono trying to be metal

Even celebs want the "you tried" star trophy.

I only come for “Here’s the thing Thanks Finnster

Regarding Hollywood, keep in mind these people also have defended (at some points legally) Roman Polanski, Victor Salva, and Bryan Singer.

Crazy thing is most of these aren't even as bad as some of the stuff that is popping off nowadays

Shaq O'Neal song is a great version of performing hip-hop and debuting in the late 90s

Forgot how bad Wicked Wisdom was .. lol .. But forgot how much I love Stars are Blind by Paris Hilton .. Hopefully I'll get entangled by her some day

Paul Dano had the single greatest celebrity music career of all time

I never knew any of that stuff about old Mark. But then I again I don't give celebrity's attention🤷‍♂️

A weekend bender with Lindsey is still my dream.

I saw Whicker Wisdom back in the day at Ozzfest 2005, truly an unremarkable performance by all accounts

Shaq is great! I think he was going and moving towards to being a DJ’s and music song/writer back in the day. Until well, his basketball career blow off. Now he is a DJ for EDM 🤩 And he is killing it. That man deserves to have fun and continue his music saga.

shaq is still pretty built i bet he could still body 90% of all current nba centers right now! also the man is a national treasure legitimately one of our finest examples of an american and a genuinely real person.

“Nothing In This World” is a great tune by Hilton. Will let that one play whenever it pops up on the shuffle

On your next one of these, you should cover Bruce Willis, Eddie Murphy, and Joe Pesci. I know there's more, but these are the ones that come to mind right away. Also, if anyone hasn't seen Joe Pesci rap, go type that in right now. You're welcome

Need any updated list with Tom Hardy's raps.

3min into the video and LmaO on Will Smith putting out an Oscar worthy performance, that look is legendary 😂😂

Will Smith's wife nu metal band is like a glitch in the matrix kinda thing 😅..

8:11 I CRINGED SO HARD. I don't do feet. Lmfao

Stars are blind…actually a bop. Fight me.

Dang did we get back to back videos with a "HERE'S THE THING!" 😂 Oh wow 2 of them in the same video hahahaha

Shaqs EDM is nuts

2:53 The Entanglement Escape Plan

I saw Wicked Wisdom open for Sevendust and Nonpoint in Atlanta. We had no idea who they were. My buddy kept saying that the vocalist looked like Jada. We laughed it off until we googled the linup and was floored that it was her 😅

3:30 the hook for that song is good though. Something insiiiiiiiide of meeeeeeee is pissed.

Shaq failed at rapping but is a successful dubstep dj

"Having a vanity license plate is pretty much like a guarantee that you're an asshole" 😂😂

Jada managed to sound of time on a "mixed" record.

Whoa whoa whoa. That second Shaq song was genuine fire.

Shaq got skills all round. Talent takes all forms.

Ey legitimately DJ Diesel is a fun fuckin time. Hes not the best dj by any means, but he brings the party lol

Vanity plates are obnoxious unless they're funny I saw one once that said "IM DOUG"

Kind of shows off the pretentious snob in me for liking this band, but I cannot believe Omar from the Mars Volta thought that Thomas Pridgen, who was in Wicked Wisdom immediately before, was a good enough candidate for a replacement drummer. Glad he moved on to bigger and better things that showed off his versatility. All love, but he was never a good fit, especially live (although I think his overplaying was intentional on Omar's part).

You gotta show DJ Diesel or Diesel live dj performances at Lost Lands etc

I just screen shotted that paris hilton "stop being poor" pic and made a meme 😂

man that wicked wisdom song rips, you're tripping!

Musicians as Actors list? Madonna, Flea, Beyonce, Britney Spears (unsure if mickey mouse club era would count as acting) Rhianna

I had Lindsey Lohan's song on a Now CD. I think it was Now 16 lol

Bobby Feeno was pretty damn good too, prior running back for the houston Texans Arian Foster is his real name. Solid rap career after being a top tier running back

Good Vibrations is a BOP

I love Good Vibrations i know all the words to the breakdown

UB40 wrote Stars Are Blind in 1989
