100 Greastest Nominee Day 46 (B)

Mystikal

Top 100 for me...dope rapper - great catalog with classics in it.. but watch the haters creep out.

He's better than some people probably think, but with the slots being so limited, I don't think I can give him top 100 based on the material he has.

I honestly don't know how i should vote for Mystikal. His first two albums are insane. Unpredictable is a complete 5 star album to me, and the best thing No Limit was ever a part of. I would vote top 100 easily on those two albums, but his last 3 are not becoming of a top 100 artist.

Yeah, he is definitely better than people think. He always reminded me of a southern Busta Rhymes because his style, flow, and delivery have the tendency to over shadow his lyrics.

To me he has 2 classics/close to classic:

Mystikal/Mind of the Mystikal
Unpredictable

Ghetto Fabulous is damn near close too

add two more very solid CDs and consider he is going back to 1995 making dope music and he has a strong case IMO... his lock up and lack of music for a while does hurt him...

Not familiar with his material enough to vote

Yeah, his debut is a classic too. I don't think Ghetto Fabulous hurts his case for top 100, but the other two do. They were just ok to me

Yeah, Busta Rhymes is a good parallel I think.

considering the clunkers dropped by the likes of kool g rap and krs one ... I think 3 out of 5 is pretty good... considering two are classics that's really good IMO

Mystikal had some hits but lyrically hes more top 150.

Mystikal is not one of the top 100 hip-hop acts of all-time no matter what you southern lovers think....

top 400 maybe

his voice is waaaay more annoying than Busta Rhymes's voice and he doesn't spit the quality of lyrics nor have the flow of Busta either....

Shake Ya Ass...Watch Ya Self.....top 400 no questions asked...lol

You never heard a full album Powell.. just admit it...

seriously Powell, name 300 groups/MC's who have had a better career.

I've heard Unpredictable, Ghetto Fabulous and Tarantula and I wasn't impressed with this yelling "Screamin Jay Hawkins" style dude...I guess you gotta be from the south to appreciate this guy cause I damn sure don't...

top 400 plain and simple

I'm going with top 50. I think his first 3 albums are all classics, and "Let's Get Ready" is easily 4.5 stars IMO. Tarantula gets a lot of hate, but it had some bangers on it too. Easily 3.5 and I don't think that should mar his career entirely.

Either name 300 acts or shut up.

Terry you shut up...lol

you really think I'm going to name 300 acts that I feel are better than to impress you??

my dude I've got a company to run and just don't have the time

to me he is top 400 material and that's it...

he thinks he's James Brown and Screamin Jay Hawkins rolled into one...

Fuck him....lol

LOL! I expect you to be able to support your opinions. Otherwise, they seem foolish. I'm still waiting on who doesn't make the list if Puba was top 5 at one time too. We got KRS, LL, Rakim, BDK, Kool G Rap, Ice Cube, Chuck D. When was Puba ever better than those dudes? LOL! Stop that Dawg!

I am supporting my opinions Terry, your just offended right now because I completely dissed one of your southern heroes and I'm sorry you are but to me Mystikal is not even in the equation for dopeness like that

AGAIN THIS IS MY OPINION TERRY...I do not have to write up 300 acts that I feel are better to support what I just said because it's the way I feel

as for Puba well as I told you at one time in NYC on many heads lists Puba was considered top 5 on those lists...I never said my list Terry I said in NYC at the time he was considered top 5 on many heads lists.....does that answer your questions Terry????????

Mystikal CLEARLY thinks he's James Brown or Screamin Jay Hawkins...CLEARLY.

no, i doesn't answer my question. If many heads thought he was top 5, who were the other 4? I mean NY is the mecca, right? They should know more about hip hop, right? They're the best to ever do it, right? Seriously, i have to question any regions intelligence that would put Puba above the 7 that i listed.

secondly, I was on the fence about Mystikal so it doesn't hurt my feelings. It does irritate me that you talk out of your behind sometimes. There are not 300 artists/groups better than Mystikal, and if you can't support your ridiculous claim with a list, your opinion carries even less weight than before.

You really expect Powell to list 300 rappers just so you can complain about a good 150 of them, Terry? lol

Shut the fuck up pounds.. no one was talking to you...

I've gotta say this upfront Terry, everytime you actually show me that you have a pulse and are alive I gain more respect for you, I gotta say that first man, now onto your further questions

If you want to know how those NYC heads were thinking at the time then hop your ass on the first plane from Memphis and then head on out to Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, Staten Island, Harlem, and find brothers who are over the age of 30 and ask them for their feelings on Grand Puba back in the early 90's and then you should get some honest feedback....and then get the hell outta there before you get jumped..LMAO!

As for talking out of my behind about Mystikal, well I feel I'm giving my opinion on him and your struggling with that for some reason....it's my opinion Terry, I'm not writing a damn list for you baby, fuck that, I think Mystikal is top 400 at best, I stand firm with that decision, whether you respect my stance or not is not important to me...this is how I feel man...he's kinda wack to me..he screams too damn much..he's not a great lyricist, again all how I feel man...sorry you can't accept that!

LOL! I don't expect him to list 300 rappers just for me and others to pick a part. However, Powell arbitrarily picked top 400 to try to be antagonistic. If he really believes that, he should be able to support it. If he was doing it for shock value, he should admit it.

Powell, pulls numbers out of his ass... watch this... No way Mantronix is top 100, they are top 375 for me... no question!

Powell is just a hypocrite since he does the same shit he accuses me of... random numbers, no basis, bias... like I said - his opinion outside of the 80s in NY is irrelevant... he shouldn't even be allowed to vote on these other threads honestly...

How about YOU shut the fuck up. I wasn't speaking to you either. It was joke anyway.

Powell, If you felt comfortable saying that many heads said Puba was top 5, you should have known who the other 4 were. More importantly, you should have known who puba bumped from the top 5 too.

I certainly respect your opinions on Mystikal, but you know as well as i do that you threw the whole top 400 out there to get a rise out of certain people.

ummm SRP, can you write me a list of 1,000 emcees that are better than KRS-One???


that's what I thought, so SHUT THE FUCK UP

Man, you expect him to list 1,000 MC's. He has a business to run. To him, he is top 1,000 material and that's it.

Funny how you can't name 300... and you pull this shit... can you even count to 300 Powell? Or has Yo Gabba Gabba not gotten to that lesson?

Actually I didn't throw that number out there to get a rise out of people, I actually believe in that number in terms of emcees and producers whom I would list over Mystikal....

I've already explained my reasons why...it's my opinion, for those that don't like it fuck 'em...real talk man, the one thing I always am is real...to myself, to this forum, to my business, to my family

you may not like what your hearing just like I don't always like what I'm hearing, but that's what debate is for, but on my opinion on Mystikal I feel like there is no debate

so what the fuck are you doing watching Yo Gabba Gabba???

I told you your a fuckin baby..lol..go change that shitty diaper man

Mystikal is top 100 lyrically, delivery, originality, impact on the south and style wise. The man held down No limit duing it's popular yrs and imo has no weak albums. Let's Get Ready is 4.25 to me and Tarantula is 3.5-3.75. If Busta Rhymes, Buckshot, CL Smooth, etc. are considered lyricist than so is Busta cause Mystikal was killing rappers on guest appearances in the south/west like Busta does in the east.

Mystikal is Top 100 IMO, he's EASILY the most talented MC that No Limit ever had, and he's more talented than most people realize. I own all of his albums up to Tarantula and enjoy them all, and he was relevant in the late 90's when the only Southern cats getting national love were Outkast, Geto Boys, Goodie Mob, and to a lesser extent Master P.

I wholeheartedly agree with Kevin in that Mystikal is the Busta Rhymes of the South, so he gets a Top 100 nod from me.

Damn it KJ! I said he was the Busta of the south. I'm actually surprised you voted top 100, but i'm glad to see you're digging Mystikal.

I'm not surprised. KJ stay paid...

Oh, my bad Terry. I didn't read all that deep into the comments. He must have said it after you did. I apoligize.

But yeah I dig Mystikal, always have. Shake Ya Ass is one of the most played songs on my iPod.

I like Mystikal but he aint a personal favorite of mine. I wouldn't have a problem with him being top 100 though. And Tarantula had no subject matter, but that shit did have some bangers.
