  No Trivia's Friday Five: Mystikal, Possessed by the Ghost of James Brown on 'Hit Me'

  December 7, 2012 – On Sunday, Das Racist officially broke up, and that's a bummer. The big Das Racist joke, it turns out, was that there was no joke. That rather than devolve into novelty MCs and pump out a bunch more “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell”-type songs and become what my friend Sean once called “the hipster LMFAO,” they took their shit very, very seriously. That was funnier than any of their punch lines. They went for it. …

  Hear Mystikal Become Crunk James Brown for Amazing 'Hit Me' Track

  December 7, 2012 – New Orleans scream-cee and former No Limit barker Mystikal has had a rocky ride since he was released from jail nearly three years ago. After signing with his former rivals at Lil Wayne's Cash Money Records, he released the promising (if negligent) Weezy and Birdman team-up "Original," only to head back to lockup for three months after an unfortunate domestic abuse incident. …

  Mystikal Takes Manhattan: Pre-Jail Gig Haunted by His Past

  May 2, 2012 – "I ain't going to jail yet!" Fourteen days before Mystikal will be locked up for three months over a parole violation, the New Orleans-raised rapper was spending his free time strutting the stage at Manhattan's S.O.B.'s club, gyrating his waist with a salacious swagger. Mystikal's original six-year jail term came after he plead guilty to sexual battery; his new violation comes from a domestic abuse arrest back in February. …

  Lil Wayne Joins Cavalcade of Rappers at SXSW '12

  March 13, 2012 – Last week, we learned Lil Wayne was skating down to SXSW this year, but nobody would confirm whether he was playing a show. But in very unsurprisingly news, today his label announced YMCMB will host a "takeover" this Thursday night (March 15) in Austin. Weezy will headline, while Busta Rhymes, Mystikal, Lil Chuckee, Cory Gunz, and Cash Money CEO Birdman will also take the stage at Austin Music Hall. …

  Mystikal Is Back, Living Large With Lil Wayne in 'Original' Clip

  March 12, 2012 – Mystikal needs to take his own advice. The New Orleans party-starter's rambunctious rasp of a voice remains every bit the sonic treat it once was, and "Original," his debut single for one-time rivals Cash Money Records, is mildly entertaining club fare, if a bit weighed down by label boss Birdman's characteristically sleepy verse and Lil Wayne's so-so rock'n'roll self-mythologizing. …

  Mystikal Returns Home to New Orleans

  February 17, 2010 – Throwing a show in one of New Orleans' biggest theatres, the 2100-capacity Municipal Auditorium, on Mardi Gras night -- after the entire city has spent the day downing bloody marys and beers -- is a dicey venture. That is, unless the city is celebrating the homecoming of its once and possibly future great hip-hop hope: Mystikal, the former No Limit and Jive Records recording artist who completed a six-year jail sentence less than two w …

  Rapper Mystikal Released From Jail

  January 21, 2010 – New Orleans rapper Mystikal was released from jail last week after spending six years behind bars on sexual battery and extortion convictions. The 39-year-old MC, whose 2000 album, Let's Get Ready, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts on the strength of two hit singles -- "Danger (Been So Long)" and "Shake Ya Ass" -- hopes to get back in the game. …
