Artist: mystikal

There are two essential reasons why this post exists: the first is obviously Mystikal. Every time I write one of these posts, I feel a twinge of uneasiness considering Mystikal was convicted of an indefensible crime. It's a little strange to write posts in all caps about OMG MYSTIKAL, but yo, listen to this man rap. I don't even care if it's on the 427th Louisiana rap song about someone's dick. He is really operating at a level only known by James Brown and R Kelly. He is not singing or rapping, he is acting out scenes set to music, [...]

There is a clear lack of creativity in merely slowing down Mystikal's original " Here I Go, " adding Young Dro, T.I. Spodee, and a 42 year-old but still very fresh Mystikal, and calling your new track, "Here I Go." On the plus side, we are living through a low-key No Limit revival between Percy's latest comeback, Earl and Tyler's continual shout outs to the tank, and the time that A$AP Rocky brought out P at Coachella. And yet no one is hollering "Free C-Murder." Mystikal was also incarcerated for a long time in the forever crooked Louisiana [...]

T.I.'s new Hustle Gang wants everybody to know they're not hard to find. That's why we have Young Dro, Shad, Spodee, T.I. and Mystikal on "Here I Go," produced by FKi. Produced should be used loosely here because the beat's no more than a slowed down flip of Mystikal's "Here I Go." Given his familiarity with the tune, Mystikal also is the one who creates the standout verse here. Just another good example of how a post-prison rapper can resuscitate their career I suppose. Prior to his pen stay, I definitely wasn't [...]

When writing about certain rappers, there are immediate qualities that are difficult not to point to in a description. There's the flow, the way the MC rides (or doesn't ride) the beat, and perhaps the most powerful element: his or her voice. While it's true that you could argue that most rappers have at the very least a "good" voice, there is a select group of MCs on another level entirely. And if you have read enough music magazines, blogs, and the like, you might have seen a writer state that he or she could listen to said rapper recite [...]

If you ever get the chance, don't forget to stop-by Pharrell Williams' Twitter and/or Facebook page to wish him a very happy birthday as he turned 40 today (4/5/13). Pharrell who's resume ranges from music producer to fashion... [[ This is a content summary only. Click on the titles for full stories... ]]

Today is Mr. Pharrell Williams' 40th birthday, which means he's been one of our finest and most innovative producers for the best part of two decades now. The Neptunes have become so ubiquitous that it's easy to forget just how remarkable and unusual some of their productions are — so to celebrate Pharrell entering his fifth decade, we thought we'd round up a selection of our favorite Neptunes beats. There are so many to choose from that this is a pretty subjective exercise, of course, so do let us know your favorites, too. [...]

While Friday night everywhere is about going to parties and getting too inebriated to accurately recall the course of the evening, that sense of hedonism always gets heightened when you're at  South by Southwest . But while a huge chunk of ATX was chugging $11 beers and hitting that most wacky of tobaccy,  Consequence of Sound  was indulging in its own solitary drug of choice: music. Based on some of our choices, from a mid-'90s Southern rapper sensation to a riotous English psych-punk band, you might think  we  were the one's on drugs. But really, we just happened to find [...]

What seems to be a tradition during All-Star Weekend, NBA players and rappers will host a plethora of mixtapes to commemorate the festivities. This is no different as Birdman releases his YMCMB compilation  Rich Gang: All Stars.  While the tape features already populars tracks such as "Bitches Love Me", "Fo Real", and "Started From The Bottom", there is some new material present for Young Money fans. One in particular is the highlight "Fly Rich", featuring Future as the go-to man for hook duties. Tyga shows up to deliver some ridiculous oral sex metaphors (She give me Butt-Head/give brain like a genius)  and [...]

• Future - Fly Rich (feat. Tyga, Meek Mill, & Mystikal)

We interrupt your regularly scheduled weekend debauchery to bring you a collaboration between Future and Mystikal. Meek Mill and uh, Tyga are on it too, but these are only ancillary details. The song is called "Fly Rich" and the lyrics and sound come straight out of the usual sad robot modern luxury lane that none of us can afford but most of us love. Late Capitalism is a motherfucker. I am posting it because oh my, Mystikal. He has probably been Top 10 alive every year since 1994 and none of us ever really realized it, but for [...]

I assume it was just imperial oversight, because the combination of Mannie Fresh, Mystikal, and a hook that interpolates both "Mind Playing Tricks on Me" AND "Behind Blue Eyes," is precisely what should make the Internet go nuts. There are a legion of reasons why the last sentence shouldn't work, but there are two why it obviously does. A very crucial pairing of the great Cash Money producer with the greatest No Limit rapper. Master P's trying to swag dracula Fat Trel and Alley Boy, but Mystikal needs none of that youthful blood. He's working with TQ, the Compton crooner [...]
