Never Change in the Purple Rain Submitted on: 2009-11-11 |
|
| In my opinion the best album to ever came out of New Orleans; got it when it first came out, still playing it. All songs on here are good but a few are great. Born To Be A Soldier is the pure fire, that's the joint to ruin your speakers on. |

Here He Goes... Submitted on: 2008-09-22 |

It's sad that many people won't give mystikal a chance just 'cuz he's stuck with the "Southern Rap" title.
This album is some of the most unique hip-hop I've heard, but not in a lame artsy way. It's raw and real. Kinda like a southern Busta Rhymes.
Take some off-beat, chopped and screwed jazz beats and add mystikal's frantic outbursts of lyrics about weed and girls and you have a very unique album which never gets boring. |

Anything Else Is Unacceptable Submitted on: 2008-03-23 |

| The Crescent City's own Mystikal releases his third album and the first as a No Limit Soldier, Unpredictable was surprisingly a stratigic move for establishing a name for himself. Immediately opening up embracing his position in the army with a salute on "Born 2 Be A Soldier" featuring Master P, Silkk The Shocker, Fiend & Mac as "Ain't No Limit" featuring Silkk The Shocker. Continuing to release his anger of his sister's death on "Murder 2" as he confronts her killer as "Shine" mourns her death with memories. The production was unlike any other No Limit release going outside Beats By The Pound seeking the talents of Rick Rock for "Murder 2". Paving the path to his career and time span on "13 Years" goes into detail. The title track contains a looped sample to emphasise the rapid, tongue twisted hook highlighted the production by another outsider DJ Darryl. Being a product of the ghetto, "Ghetto Child" featuring Master P & Silkk The Shocker is humbling experience of overcoming obstacles destined for those growing in that environment. Mystikal takes excerpts and punchlines from some of his other songs to create "Did I Do It" taking credit as the author. "We Got The Clout" featuring Mia X is a great duet speaking on their status without a hook and or chorus still is one of the most memerable tunes of Unpredictable. Explaining his addiction of smoking on "Still Smokin'" where smokers can relate to the events over the production by The Legendary Traxster that should have been extended to complete the session. The hook alone expresses the feeling and contents of the hook on "U Can't Handle This" because of his lyrical capabilities also evident on "The Man Right Chea". Showing his sexual prowness on "D*ck On The Track" goes into a musical composition being conducted for comparison. Confessions of infidelity on "Sleepin' With Me" featuring O'Dell confronts his actions of being in a relationship. Stepping up to classic New Orleans bounce style, "It Years" gives the album more depth as a near dance track incorporating mixing and scratching. With a smooth swing and layered guitars complementing the slow groove of "Gangstas" featuring Snoop Dogg & Master P completes the albums effectiveness and overall feel. Mystikal's Unpredictable was just as titled as his emphasis or lyrical delivery was deemed necessary to agressively get the point across. |

No Limit Classic Submitted on: 2007-11-30 |

| \Anyone trying to tout the former glory of No Limit Records should be happy for CD's like Mystikal's "Unpredictable". This disc is by far one of the greatest No Limit releases, right there along with "Ghetto D",and "Tru 2 Da Game". Tracks like "Born To Be A Soldier" showcase the perfect marriage of No Limit Soldiers over Beats By the Pound tracks. The songs "Man Right Chea" and the title track are vehicles for Mystikal to fully showcase the depths of his rapid fire delivery and gruff vocal tone. Any real Mystikal fan would tell you that Mystikal was close to his best on this CD. Definitely a good idea to pick releases like this up because you can't really get these in stores anymore (tell P to pay his producers you need bread if you produce 10+ albums a year). |

Unpredictably his best album Submitted on: 2007-06-24 |
|
| Mystikal was doing his thing with Jive before No Limit. Mind Of Mystikal was great and I didnt think was going to top that one until I heard this one. The first track Born 2 Be A Soldier was slammin(even though they could have kept Silkk away from that song). Murder 2 picks up where Murderer on the first album left off as Mystikal lets off some steam at his sister's killer. Unpredictable, 13 Years, U Cant Handle This, The Man Right Chea is Mystikal at his best. As usual Mystikal always has his smoke record on each album and Still Smokin' is the best one out of all of them. D*** On The Track and It Yearns(which samples T La Rock's Its Yours) are Mystikal flexing his lyrical muscles and he does a good job too. Even though this album is tight it does have its flaws. Silkk The Shocker should have never been on Aint No Limit and Born 2 Be A Soldier. Sleeping With Me is kind of bland and Gangstas(features Snoop and Master P) was soso. The album ends with a nice tribute to his sister which is called Shine. Bottom Line: Mystikal was at his best on Unpredictable which is his best album to date. He was hungrier here than he sounds now and the production was great. This unquestionably one of the best No Limit releases. Standout Tracks: BORN 2 BE A SOLDIER, MURDER 2, 13 YEARS, UNPREDICTABLE, GHETTO CHILD, HERE WE GO, STILL SMOKIN, U CANT HANDLE THIS, THE MAN RIGHT CHEA, D*** ON THE TRACK and IT YEARNS. |
