I was so excited buying Mystikal's new album "Lets Get Ready." When I was done listening to it, it wasn't as good as I had expected. 3 stars is still above average but I thought it would have better tracks. His lyrics are tight and he has a unique flow, it's just his beats he could improve on. There's only 3 good cuts. I still think this is his best album yet but his next will be better. This album is all Mystikal and has very few featured artists. This factor also brings the album down. The album features Da Brat who's good and Outkast who's also good. The three good tracks are:

"Sake your a**" "Danger" and "Neck Uv Da Woods."

If someone asked me for my opinion on this cd I would say it's alright. If I could get a refund, I would deffinitely say no. I still like mystikal and the cd I just think it could be improved on.

After dropping three discs, "Mind Of Mystikal", "Unpredictable", and "Ghetto Fabulous", with the last two being executive produced by the Tank's own, Master P, Michael Tyler brings us "Let's Get Ready". This CD is Mystikal's finest work to date. It seems like Jive Records gave Mystikal more creative freedom with this CD since he was so called "released from his No Limit contract". After hearing the single "Shake It Fast" I knew that Mystikal would have a tight CD, so I picked the CD up on the first day it was released. Mystikal sounds just like he did on his previous three CDs, but the production on this CD is the best that Mystikal has had to work with. Mystikal has contributions from The Neptunes, The Medicine Men (formerly Beats By The Pound), Earthtone III, PA, etc. This is what makes Mystikal's CD, because his voice goes with all the beats that have been provided for him. The CD's best moments are on "Ready To Rumble", "Jump", "U Would If U Could", "Ain't Gonna See Tomorrow" and the KLC produced bonus track, "I'm Throwed Off". To any fans of Mystikal's song with Outkast, "Neck Uv Da Woods", that song is also featured on this CD. This is Mystikal's best CD to date. If you liked his past collaborations with No Limit artists, then you will enjoy this CD from "The Man Right Chea".

This is my first review I have ever done on Amazon.com. The reason why I am writing is to tell everyone to buy this CD because it is the bomb! I heard old Mystikal and thought it was dumb, but this album rocks!

When i first heard shake ur i was like thats a tight song so i went to buy single and they didnt have any so i gave the cd a shot and i was overwhelmed this is a album full of tight beats and some off the wall crazy lyrics the thing i like most bout this album is mystikals flow it is unique and off tha chain the best tracks on this one are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 thats all of em trust me go grab this one its on fire

Mystikal is off of No Limit and back in with a really good album. I always thought that the Beats By The Pound production crew (now known as The Medicine Men) gave Mystikal the perfect instrumentals to express himself in that loud way of his. The Neptunes also give him some nice music. I would have liked to see some Legendary Traxster tracks as well as more collabos. It seems that all of Mystikal's previous albums featured exaggerated cameos from his Boot Camp Clicc and No Limit crews as well as the likes of Snoop Dogg, E-40, Naughty By Nature, Busta Rhymes, etc. If the album had a few more cameos it would have been a perfect 5 stars as listening to too much Mystikal gets tiring at times.

This is the best Mystikal album of all time. I love the beats and it makes me want to 'Shake my a**'. This album is off da hook. If you dont have it, you need to get it today.

Shake your a-- and Been so long are definitely off the hook but with the exception of cuts 9 and 15 the rest of the cd is pretty unimaginative and mediocre. But I have to rate this CD overall as a purchase because the great cuts are fabulous.

yo Mystikal is back , the real Mystikal that is. No limit to how hot Mystikal is without Master P's Bulls@#t. MYstikal lyrics are tight. His album great production work with different beats, sounds , alike Beat by the pound who's beat sound the same. Get the album 5 stars quality all around performance.

Mystikal developed a totally new style and attitude with this release. Having strayed away from the tank was the beginning of the end however but there were no signs of that on this LP. Great production and great flow make this album a southern must-have.

Notable Tracks:

Danger
Shake Ya Ass
Mystikal Fever
Ain't Gonna See Tomorrow
Neck Uv Da Woods

Life after No Limit wasn't very kind to Mystikal, and even with the Neptunes production this album isn't great. The singles, "Shake Ya A*s" and "Danger" are fun, good rap songs, but as a whole the album isn't awesome. He doesn't have as much to say, and he spends most of his time bragging about nothing or yelling at nobody in particular. This was entertaining for a few albums, but without the No Limit squad, Mystikal has proven pretty one dimensional. A lot of the songs are similar, and only a few guest appearances lighten up the album. Da Brat and Petey Pablo lend an OK rhyme on "Come and see about me" and the best track is obviously "Neck Uv Da Woodz", where OutKast pretty much does the entire song. Without C-Murder and Master P and the rest of no limit, Mystikal is lonely, even though this was his most commercial success. People wanting to own some Mystikal ought to buy "Mind of Mystikal" or one of his No Limit releases.
