I noticed a lot of things have changed-I was gone six years.
I try not to let nothing influence me, so I figured it would be better for me not to even be tuned in, so I can keep it the way I do it. I was writing and listening to other artists out there. But then this happened and I thought to myself that God got something else for me.Ĭomplex: Did you keep up with hip-hop during your stint? Pimp My Ride? I was supposed to be the host of that.

I was getting all kinds of movie scripts. Mystikal: I was just scratching the surface. God was using me for real.Ĭomplex: You went to prison at the height of your career. I knew he was using me the whole time I was in jail. I was just in an unfortunate situation, but I knew God was working on me. I got kids out here, family, and people that love me and respect me and count on me, so I couldn't let them down. It wasn't gonna be tomorrow or the next day, but just looking forward to it and being here, it's surreal and unbelievable.Ĭomplex: You looked like you didn't lose an ounce of your unbridled energy out there. I waited for this moment for a long time. Mystikal: The first thing I gotta say is, "Thank you, God." I'm having a blast, 'cause it's been a long time coming. We caught up with Mystikal after he performed in front of a packed House of Blues in Houston for a quick convo about freedom, comebacks, and reparations.Ĭomplex: This was your first show in Houston in six years. During his six-year stint, the Jive recording artist 86-ed the twisted braids, got his swoll on, honed his lyrical chops, and wrote feverishly in preparation of his upcoming post-incarceration opus that will "make people shake the teeth out they muthafuckin' face." Those are his words, not ours. Released from prison in January, Michael Tyler takes his comeback very seriously. Who could forget when New Orleans-bred MC Mystikal registered on hip-hop's Richter Scale over a decade ago with his trademark rapid-fire flow delivering such hits as "Move Bitch," "Danger (Been So Long)," and the cross-over favorite "Shake Ya Ass"? The former No Limit soldier was at the apex of his career, garnering two Grammy nominations and collecting platinum plaques, before a sexual battery and extortion charge stopped his momentum in its tracks and landed him in the Louisiana State Prison system in 2004.
