You Can't Stop the Reign is the third studio album released by Shaquille O'Neal. It was released on November 19, 1996 for Interscope Records and featured production from the likes of DJ Quik, Poke and Tone, Mobb Deep, Chris Large, and Easy Mo Bee. The album was moderately successful, making it to #82 on the Billboard 200 and #21 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Two singles were released, "Still Can't Stop the Reign" and "Strait Playin'". The Notorious B.I.G.'s verse from "Still Can't Stop the Reign" was reused in Michael Jackson's song "Unbreakable", from his last studio album Invincible.
