艺人介绍

by Stephen Thomas ErlewineOriginally one of the leading rappers on Master Ps No Limit record label, Mystikal quickly evolved beyond the labels clichéd thug trappings and found himself one of the Dirty Souths most recognized rappers, alongside Juvenile. Like No Limit itself, Mystikal is a New Orleans native. He released an eponymous debut on the independent label Big Boy in 1995. It earned the attention of Jive Records, who signed him later that year. His official, major-label debut, Mind of Mystikal, was released early in 1996 and became a major hit in the rap underground, falling just short of going gold. He then hooked up with Master P and No Limit; the union produced Unpredictable, which was released in the fall of 1997 and helped the rapper build a substantial following. Ghetto Fabulous followed in early 1999, falling just short of debuting at number one on the album charts. Consolidating his status as a hot property, Mystikal wasted no time in issuing a follow-up; Lets Get Ready appeared in the fall of 2000, eclipsing his preceding releases in sales terms, as expected. Driven by the James Brown-like Shake Ya Ass as a lead single — an MTV staple before the album even hit the streets — it had become increasingly difficult to trace Mystikals roots back to the trademark sound and motifs of the thuggish No Limit camp. Lets Get Ready demonstrated the wide-reaching ambitions that had only been hinted at in successive releases, eliminating the No Limit stigma and finally making his unique rhyme delivery accessible enough to cross over to the masses. In 2001, Mystikals bombastic rap stylings came together for a fifth album, Tarantula. Bouncin Back (Bumpin Me Against the Wall) was one of 2002s hottest singles; the next year Mystikal garnered two Grammy nods for Best Male Rap Solo Performance and Best Rap Album. The hit-grabbing compilation Prince of the South dropped in 2004 with the new single Oochie Pop.
