Shaq's gotta be considered a rapper. He's had more of a career than most rappers. Even a platinum album.

Not saying that he could play in the big leagues, but I always thought Nelly was really athletic.  I remember in the MTV Rock & Jock events, he would kick ass left and right in baseball and football.

from Cam'rons wiki:

Cameron Giles was born in Harlem, New York. He went to school at Manhattan Center High School, where he would meet his long time friends Mase and Jim Jones. He was a promising basketball player alongside Mase, however was unable to take advantage of various scholarship offers due to a poor academic record. He instead enrolled in a college in Texas, even without graduating from high school, but soon dropped out and returned to Harlem where he began selling drugs before starting his rap career.

From Master P's wiki:

After a serious knee injury derailed his college basketball career, Miller moved to Richmond, California, and opened a small record store, No Limit Record Shop, financing the store with money that he received as part of a medical malpractice settlement related to the death of his grandfather, Glen Bauman.

Miller had a contract with NBA teams twice - with the Charlotte Hornets during the 1998/99 season and the Toronto Raptors in 1999 pre-season.[12][13] He also played in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) for the Fort Wayne Fury. In 2004, he played for the ABA's Las Vegas Rattlers. He joined the 2008 McDonald's NBA All-Star Celebrity Game and scored 17 points in total, hitting two crucial free throws at the end to win the game.


So there you go. I think those two were the best athletes hip-hop has ever offered. I heard that Cam'ron was a legit bball player in high school, and had a chance of making the nba if he developed in college. I also heard he got injured in college, which prevented him from progressing as a player... and that's when he decided to focus on rap.
