MYSTIKAL OUT! READY FOR "REPERATIONS"
Mystikal, one of my favorite rappers is out of prison after 6 years. A lot has happened in music in those 6 years including the rise of you tube, my space, twitter, facebook, and smartphones. Mystikal claims he's a fast learner and it will be no time before he's back on top. During an interview on Greg Street;s radio show, he stated he's ready for his "reparations" from the rappers he's allowed to thrive for 6 years without competition." He said the hardest thing for him to take was not being able to help Louisiana during Katrina. " I should've been swimming around in that water helping my people." With the recent rash of rappers going to jail, Mystikal doesn't think they're being persecuted but instead they must be smarter in their decision making and not take the easy cop out. He said he's written about 2 albums worth of material and is ready to go hard. Sorry Wayne, I'm sure he appreciates you paying homage but only Mystikal can go "Mystikal Hard." In celebration of his release find 3 classics The Man Right Chea, Here I Go, and Danger.
