I have to dedicate this one to yesterday news. My favorite rapper, The real "Black Prince of Da South", Mystikal, is out and free. It has been 6 years since we heard from the legend of Mystikal. Yeah, 6 years do not seem like much, but things have changed. So to honor the rapper who put the Miss-Lou-Ala on the map and rip the game with lyrics that was masterfully genius, I have a top 5 Mystikal greatest hits and top 5 greats collabos. People beware because the game is getting ready to change.
for the extra- this is his first interview since 2004
Yall Ain't Ready
If you do not know this song and you were from the South, you really did not care for southern rap, or your parents did not want you listening to this music. This was ones of the original budget-videos in the 90s when the east coast had their talent and the west had theirs. With the exception of Luke (who ran FLA), Eightball and MJG (who ran Memphis, Tenn.), Outkast (who held up ATL), UGK, and The Geto Boyz (Who are legends of the rap game in Texas); The Miss-Lou-Ala had nobody that came into the scene spitting rapid 16s like a machine gun. Don't believe me, hear for yourself.
Here I Go
Well what can I say "The Mind of Mystikal" is still the most underrated album of all time. I have more but I can't put it all in here. So "Here I Go" represents this album.
The Man Right Chea
The most-hyped song ever in Southern rap history. Everything on this track was right on time and they did not have a video for it. Everybody in the south from 1997-1999 knew this song.
I'm on Fire
Ghetto Fabulous was a real good album but it was under-measure of the success with all his collabos. "I'm On Fire" was just one of them songs that still under those "Why they did not have a video for this." The symbolism was stylish as he was hitting those 16 bars on this one.
Danger
Don't get me wrong, I like "Shake It Fast." Danger was just one of those song that you could just nod your head to and play in your car because you are taking a trip somewhere.
Bouncing Back (Bumping Me Against the Wall)
The funny thing about this song is that the Neptunes produce this and it really do not sound like a Neptunes beat. The horns were killer on this track. Every HBCU and high school black band was playing this song.
Greatest Collabos
Murder, Murder (Mac)
Just to see these two together with a track again will be masterpiece. As for now, this song will make people reminisce in the South. Funny thing is I can still play this on the piano.
Pure UnCut (Eightball also with Silk, Master P, and Psycho Drama)
He just killed it with "That's that Bastard"
Stutter Remix (Joe)
Come on. Whoever thought he could not don't it on the R&B tip just lied to themselves
Move B*^$% (Ludacris)
His last time on the mic before jailtime. Still a classic.
What is your favorite Mystikal track?
And for a Candlelit dinner for two at the Waffle House, can you tell me what record company
he signed with and what song he was on that spark former group U.N.L.V.
(Cash Money's first group) to make a diss album?
