Mystikal

Before his career was derailed by extortion and sexual battery convictions, New Orleans emcee Mystikal was at the top of his game, with Grammy nominations and platinum hits galore. This album compiles all of his biggest singles, including "Shake It Fast," "Bouncin' Back..." and "Danger (Been So Long)."

Convicted sexual batterer and sole actually talented No Limit rapper Mystikal remains at his fiercest on 1997's Unpredictable, issued by No Limit/Jive. Hence the corporate provenance of his best-of, easily the most desirable CD to feature the timelessly timely Pharrell Williams collab "Bouncin' Back (Bumpin' Me Against the Wall)," which captured how it might feel to shake your a** at the terrorist threat.
