So despite being swept up in the tide of too many new rap albums, Mystikal would seem to have the formula to push up above water and come in to the shore. Besides having one of the most recognizable loudmouthed flows in the Dirty South, he was recently featured on the remix of Joe’s smash hit “Stutter.” Currently, a video for his lead single “Bouncin’ Back” is all over the music television channel of your choice be it BET, MTV, or someone not already owned by Viacom. Now that I’ve been hit with a torrential downpour I’m left to ask the question, “How can a rap album stand out in such an overcrowded field?” Mystikal has a few natural advantages though. I’ve said the market for rap albums was overcrowded before, but little did I know that by making that statement I was ASKING FOR IT. A short list of ones covered would include Busta Rhymes, Cypress Hill, De La, Jay-Z Nas, OutKast, Timbaland and Too $hort and this Mystikal review aside there’s still records like Master P’s “Gameface” and the Meth + Redman “How High” soundtrack left to do! In fact the month of December has been obnoxious with major new rap releases all coming out simultaneously. After reviewing over a half dozen albums this week, all of the different albums I’ve listened to are starting to run together into one big blur. Forgive the interruption, but to do this review right I have to get personal.
