RESPECT. is a New York-based, quarterly hip hop and photojournalism magazine founded in 2009 by Jonathan Rheingold and edited by RapRadar's Elliott Wilson. The publication covers hip hop culture, focusing on music, photography, and style. As opposed to mainstream hip-hop magazines, RESPECT.'s aesthetic is more highbrow, targeting a "sophisticated and intelligent reader." Its circulation is approximately 250,000 per issue.
Rheingold was previously the executive publisher of Harris Publications, home to hip-hop publications such as XXL and Scratch. After leaving Harris in 2009, he launched RESPECT. with the help of such industry vets as kris ex, Paul Scirecalabrisotto, and Sally Berman.
Each issue of RESPECT. features interviews with popular hip-hop artists. Past covers have included Drake, Waka Flocka, Tyler, the Creator, and Eminem. The magazine also focuses on photographers with a special interest in hip hop, such as Jonathan Mannion, Albert Watson, and Mike Miller. Kali Abdullah currently serves as photo editor.
The album had 19 tracks, that Vibe said all "straddle the line between mediocre and unlistenable" The album sold 104,000 units. O'Neal's Los Angeles Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant performs at the start of the track "3 X's Dope", though his name was not listed on the credits.
"Respect" is a 1995 song recorded by Frenchhip hop act Alliance Ethnik. It was the first single from his album Respect, and was released on January 1995. It achieved success in several countries, including France and Belgium where it was a top three hit. The song was Alliance Ethnik's biggest hit to date and can be deemed as its signature song.
Structure
After an 30-second introduction using the sound of a radio, the song contains several samples from songs such as "It's Good to Be the King Rap Pt 1" by Mel Brooks, "Back Together Again" by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway and a small interpolation of "Life's a Bitch" of American rapperNas. The verses, performed by K-mel, are in French, while other verses and the refrains are sung by Vinia Mojica in English. The male singer has a delivery "which makes use of words and onomatopoeia with mischievouness[sic] and joviality". This single is "festive and optimistic", and uses the repertoire of the 1980s rap. The music video was shot in black and white.

Shaquille O'Neal feat The Notorious BIG - You Can't Stop The Reign
[Verse 1: Shaquille O'Neal]
You can't stop it, block it, when I drop it
Anytime I go rhyme for rhyme on a topic
You ain't even fit to step in Shaq's arena
I look inside your mind and I see your shook demeanor
In your eyes, why are you surprised?
No matter how you try, I'm fly as Elliuqahs
The new edition, this is the end of your last night
In the day time, you couldn't see me with a flashlight
I crash flights on sights of my enemy
I'm coming through, and then I bomb your whole vicinity
Why they acting faking jacks? You're not a friend of me
I peeped your card, you're not as hard as you pretend to be
Who wanna spark it with the chocolate?
Macadamia, head clean to the cranium
You know the name, Shaq aim to maintain
Money on the brain, can't stop the reign (the reign)
[Chorus]
You can't stop...

[Chorus]
You can't stop the reign (You can't stop the reign, no)
When it starts to fall (When it starts to fall)
There's no one else to blame (No one else to blame)
You can't lock that door (Unlock the door)
[Verse 2: The Notorious B.I.G.]
I speak deep with killers, about million-dollar figures
Blessing niggas in Ac Legends and Vigors
Cream lizards, cream Coogi's, I do my duty
As long as they fly as me, and high as me
Success of my circle, try to break it, I'll hurt you
Ain't no gettin' out that, I doubt that (I doubt that)
We want the exotic, erotic ladies
Not them toxic ladies that burn a lot
I learned a lot, from junkies to ruffians
From being tied up by Colombians, 'cause eighty grams was missing
Listen, had to change my position
From wanting to be large to head nigga in charge
My garage, call it Cee-lo, four, fives and sixes
Honies by the mixes, if it ain't broke don't fix it
Smoke out with Leo, Biggie Tarantino
Size like a sumo, Frank White, numero uno
[Chorus]
You can't stop the reign (you can't stop the reign, no)
When it starts to fall (when it starts to fall)
There's no one else to blame (no one else to blame)
You can't lock that door (unlock the door)
[Verse 3: Shaquille O'Neal (The Notorious B.I.G.)]
Seven-O, ha, towering inferno
Invincible smooth individual
Who wanna test it, foreign or domestic
No matter where you're from, I'm not the one you wanna mess with
Origin-al willie style, living lavish
Private jets to let my shorty shop in Paris (uhh, uhh, what)
I'm not the average, I'm far from the norm (uhh)
It's Daddy Long, hitting 'em strong, keeping you warm
[Verse 4: The Notorious B.I.G.]
A lime to a lemon, my D.C. women
Bringing in ten G's minimum to condos with elevators in 'em
Vehicles with televisions in 'em
Watch they entourage turn yours to just mirages
Disappearing acts, strictly nine's and MACs
Killers be serial, Copperfield material
My dreams is vivid, work hard to live it
Any place I visit, I got land there
How can players stand there and say I sound like them? Hello
Push wigs back and push 6 coupes that's yellow
Bust clips that expand from hand to elbow
Spray up your Day's Inn, any telly you're in
Crack bragging, sick of bragging how my mink be dragging
Desert E's street sweepers inside the Beamer wagon
I rely on Bed-Stuy to shut it down if I die
Put that on my diamond bezel, you're messing with the Devil
What
[Chorus]
You can't stop the reign (you can't stop the reign, no)
When it starts to fall (when it starts to fall)
There's no one else to blame (no one else to blame)
You can't lock that door (unlock the door)
You can't stop the reign (you can't stop the reign, no)
When it starts to fall (when it starts to fall)
