| Song Listing |  |
| Straight out of New Orleans comes a true rap innovator, the "Crown Prince of the South", Mystical. His unmistakable gruff and speedy style has made him the undisputed, original lyrical tongue twister. With just three records to his name, Mystikal, has sold almost three million albums. This album boasts production credits by Beats by the Pound (Master P, Silkk the Shocker, C-Murder), The Neptunes (Ol' Dirty Bastard, Kelis), PA, The Medicine Men, and Outkast. Guest appearances include, Da Brat, Outkast, and Petey Pablo.
| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Contains 3 hidden tracks after "Neck Uv Da Woods." | | Personnel includes: Mystikal, Da Brat, Outkast, Petey Pablo, Nivea (rap vocals); Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo (various instruments); Preston Crump, Amos Singleton (guitar, bass); Donny Mathis, Craig Love (guitar); Marvin "Chaz" Parkman (synthesizer); Rajinder "Conga Man" Kala (congas); Latrelle (background vocals). | | Producers include: Beats By The Pound, The Neptunes, PA, The Medicine Men, Outkast. | | "Shake Ya Ass" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Solo Rap Performance. | | With a solid resume in hip-hop, New Orleans native Mystikal was one of the first rappers to really put it down for the dirty South. On his fourth album Let's Get Ready, the former No Limit artist introduces his rough vocals to some danceable beats. | | For "Shake Ya Ass," he enlists the production talents of the Neptunes, and delivers a guaranteed club hit. Guests are kept to a minimum; he teams up with Da Brat on the bouncy "Come See About Me" and Outkast on the experimental "Neck Uv Da Woods." Other songs, such as "Ain't Gonna See Tomorrow" and "Family" show a more serious side of Mystikal, and allow him to display lyrical growth. |

| | Professional Reviews | | Rolling Stone (9/28/00, p.56)
- 3 stars out of 5 - "...There are peaks of triple-time rhythm and valleys of bass, with Mystikal bouncing in between like a pimped-out yodeler in need of Ritalin..."Spin (11/00, p.203)
- 8 out of 10 - "...An easy-action super-saturated tour of the Dirty South....[He's] at his best changing gears, lowdown growl to syncopated spitfiring and back again in the space of a line..." Entertainment Weekly (11/10/00, p.90)
- "...A spare, eclectic effort...alternately funky and hyper, delicate and brash..." - Rating: A- The Source (12/00, pp.250-2)
- 3.5 mics out of 5 - "...Confirms [his] tremendous progress as a better writer and showman....Half the fun is just listening to the rapper's vocals, a toxic mix of a Baptist preacher and a baddass hyper kid..." NME (Magazine)
(11/25/00, p.35)
- 9 stars out of 10 - "...One sharp-steppin' razor....Mystikal is the fightingest bastard and his grin's never wider than when he's putting the hurt on..." |
