Stick 2 the Script is the second studio album by East Coast hip hop producer Statik Selektah. It was released by Showoff Records and Brick Records on October 21, 2008. It is composed of 18 tracks--all containing production from Statik Selektah and rapping from featured artists. Much like Selektah's debut album, the album features well-established New York rappers like Jadakiss, Q-Tip and Talib Kweli. It additionally features newer artists like Jon Hope and Reks, as well as Southern rappers like Bun B, West Coast rappers like Mistah F.A.B. and a slew of Massachusetts rappers on the song "Streets of M.A.".

The album's production and lyrical subject matter are both diverse. Battle raps ("Get Out the Way"), love songs ("Talkin' Bout You (Ladies)") and reflections on the music industry ("To the Top (Stick 2 the Script)") are all matched with unique beats and scratched hooks.

The album was well received, but considered to be too much of a continuation of Spell My Name Right: The Album.^[7] Nonetheless, its production was hailed.^[8] An instrumental version of Stick 2 the Script was also released.

DJ Premier ranked the album 3rd in his top 20 albums of 2008 list.
