@ your lack of knowledge

Excuse you fellow die-hard Janet fan, but there was always more to Mystikal's career beside Shake You Azz/Shake It Fast, Bump Me Against The Wall, and Make'em Say Uggh!!.

THAT^ alone is 3 hits, NOT 1.

You're laughing, but he got locked up after he had his crossover success. There's no telling what he would have done if he hadn't gotten locked up. I live in Dallas and they played his music around here a LOT before his crossover success.

Billboard and All Music provide a GREAT resource when you want to see the chart success of someone's career. Instead of saying they only had ONE song. Search before you post sometimes. If you are wrong, man-up and admit it.

I think you and this Tony guy took what I said out of context. All I remember him for is "Danger" and "Shake ya ass". IMO, Danger is all mattered that at the time it came out. Kind of like Petey Pablo with "Freek-a-leak"

AHA! defending Mystical.....

midiscover said:

Nobody is defending Mystikal. The thing is, just because you only remember 2 songs, doesn't mean that is the artists catalog.

These youngsters around here

midiscover said:

I didn't call you out for having a negative opinion (there are plenty of orgers that dislike Mystikal as a rap artist). I've called you out for falsey calling him a one-hit wonder, which he isn't.

daPrettyman said:

When did I say it was that was all his artist catalog? I said no more than 10 words and you started attacking me

You don't know how old I am

daPrettyman said:

Don't be too hard on Midiscover. I've seen/heard far worse from youngsters that lack knowledge of hip-hop/rap music history.

TonyVanDam said:

i'm not sure if that is completely true.

regardless.

it sucks that you have to pull out the record sales argument simply because the artist you are defending is terrible.

there are a handful of good southern rappers and to make the claim that mystikal is second only to scarface really makes me wonder.

(i know its just an opinion. being one of the few (knowledgable) hip-hop listeners on the forum i figure i should give feedback on topics such as this one)

midiscover said:

Bless u my child.

I wasn't attacking you. Just be careful how you word things on a board. You may not come off sounding the way you want to come across. No love lost...nor do I want 2 attack u. I have better things to discuss/do with my time than attack. It's all about constructive criticism.

I feel ya. He was really big in the South and I still cannot understand half of the words he was saying.

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if he wouldn't do a Gospel or inspirational project. He may even do a "BIG" interview to tell his side of the story.

hilarious. he gets to maintain his innocence while i'm pretty sure a jury (and a video camera?) found him guilty.

daPrettyman said:

You know he might have a comeback on his hands if he already has his story spinning that way

Cinnie said:

So true. Some people around here amuse me.

Oh no here comes the unintelligible raps again. Between him and Twista, I still don't know what the fuck he says in his songs.

And he gotta be a dummy saying he found God, yet said he was wrongly imprisoned (though he taped the situation) and then said people gotta take responsibility...

He still ain't learned his lesson. Got damn Michael Tyler.

So is No Limit gettin' back together??

Given that I'm age 35 and a fan of 88-93 hip-hop era, I'm naturally critical of most (NOT all) hip-hop tracks from 1994 to present-year 2010.

I rather give Mystikal a fair opportunity to redeem himself musically than a lot of the shit-hop/rhythmless bullshit (r&b) of the 2000's.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Seeing Master P/Silk The Shockker/C-Murder/Mystikal/Mia X reunited would be as crazy as Hulk Hogan joining TNA.

with me he is someone that came from that "time period" that i have little feeling for from most artists. Mystikal had a unique style in some respects but it was almost "gimmicky" and that can carry you for a bit but it wears and then becomes annoying and you dont last. I think this would have happend with JaRule had 50cent not made that call to end his career, i think his trademark grunting was already growing tired, and people were sick of the whole Gotti shit at that point. But Mystikal had his "peak" time, he isnt gonna re-capture that "peak", i really wish someone would slap everyone who had their "peak" and then tries to re-create it, and i think we know some who need that "peak" slap.

thats my point

mystikal falls into the "shit-hop" category.

redemption is not possible. he got lucky with a couple of gimmicky singles and when the hitmaking well runs dry for such an artist there isnt enough substance left to keep the music afloat.
