Like many hip-hop albums of the mid-'90s,
Mystikal's
Mind of Mystikal is rooted in
Dr. Dre's G-funk. While nothing in the production is particularly original,
Mystikal's rapping is distinctive. Where many G-funk rappers are laid-back,
Mystikal is hyper, zipping between obscure pop culture references and standard gangsta boasting. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
