After spending six years in prison for sexual battery and extortion, Mystikal landed on his feet, signing with Lil Wayne’s Young Money.
However, in an interview with ThisIs50.com, the “Shake Ya Ass” rapper says he could’ve signed with 50 Cent.
“Matter of fact, [me and 50 Cent] were having conversations,” revealed Mystikal. “It was close. I was still incarcerated at that time.”
“I had to go with my move,” he said. “I had to go with something that’s relevant, and that’s going to be effective. Then that’s home team.”
“When I got over there, the love was through the roof,” he added.

that nigga looks so pretty in the photo up top
signing to ym is the more logical move for the simple fact that they are whats “”hot”” right now. So i cant be mad at his decision at all…But at the same time, i feel like this gimmicky type rap shit is on a decline so ym days are numbered basically. So depending on what kinda deal he worked out with them it can be a good thing or a bad thing. If he’s bound to ym for multiple albums, i think he’s fucked. But if his contract aint that lengthy, he straight….
well, ppl have been saying ym’s days are number for the past 3years…
Mystikal pretty ill but signin wit crappy ass label like Young Money. Niggas there be kissin men and shit, this nigga should have signed with MMG. These niggas on top and all over mainstream. Thats where the paper at.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember seein’ that studio footage with him rappin’, Mannie Fresh over the beats, and Juvenile doin’ the guest verses…too bad we’ll never hear the results since he’s signed with these YMCMBrats.
1 year from now we all gonna be reading about how young money is not paying him, then he gonna wish he signed with g-unit
ummm whats gunit doing nowadays?
whoopin gunplays ass
Lmao nigga was flying! Gunplay is a joke
Signing with 50 cent, he would have released one album, that would have sold about 150,000 copies and that would have been the end of it. Im not hating, I mean we all know it is the truth.
Since you have a time machine to tell the future, tell us why you’re not richer than Warren Buffet and we’re not reading about YOU?
hahahaha straight clowned on
well besides beating up on gunplay?……nothing really lol
ok no doubt YMCMB and MMG are the hottest groups out now and if u wanna go straight to fame whether you’re a whack rapper or not..However if u want your money ..and u want a long term career in rap..taking it one step at a time..U should probably sign to interscope/gunit records/aftermath/def jam..
smartest comment i have seen
aftermath has been around for almost 20 years and has only produce 3 stars in that time………..lol
What about Young Buck??? Most labels will just let you go but not 50 Cent!!!
Too dangerous!!
Dumbest shit ive ever heard if you sign with aftermath your album isnt ever gonna come out. Like dude said Aftermath has been around 20 years and all they put out was The Firm album in the 90s, One Busta album, One game album and the rest is 50, Em and dre. Kendrick is the first person to sign to aftermath and put out an album that isnt by 50 or em in who knows how fuckin long
in 2 years nobody gonna know drak or minaj no more but 50 and eminem are still in the sporlight.
quality over quantity!! Tell me any album that was released on Aftermath that was wack, like really really wack.

The record label released over 65 million records in the United States alone. I fail to see what is so funny, unless I am missing something here.

GOD DAMN THIS STORY IS OLD
Fuck this rapist.
he didn’t rape that thief!!!
the demon is here\im schemin this year\i rip mysticals voice box out and scream in his ear…#EMINEM
satanic shit if jayz said that you would be crying
He would have been better off signing a label deal for his own label. even if his record didn’t sell, he would have still gotten paid at least 10 million.
The real Donald Passman should sue the shit out of you for stating something so stupid with his name attached.
mmmm mystikal looks good enough to eat in that photo =)

Dammm I would suck Mystikal dick in a second , take it real deep for him, show him how a real YMCMB groupie/dickridda do it, show him some of that famous YMCMB “hospitality”.
convicted of sexual battery…. karma is gonna f up his career no respect for these type of dudes
cosign. death to mystiKKKal and his family.
nigga what would u really would have did if a bitch rip off $25.000 check from u not one time many time. that what i thought give the bitch some dick because killig the bitch would not be worth
I don’t even know who the hell this guy is but I came here because his airbrushed photos annoy me…
And I wanted to express this anger to all readers. Thank you.
I continue to wonder why people even bother to listen to what irrelevant rappers have to say about relevant rappers. Am I missing something?
hed be irrelivant if he signed with 50
Fuck this rapist scum!! Hopefully his album goes double wood and we’ll never have to see or hear him again.
mann u broke mother fuckers talk a lots of shit nigga u wish u was in his shoes and plus i thank he did the bitch good for stealling $20.000 checks dick that bitch down because know a whole lots of groons would have fuck that bitch off so she should be thanksful that all he gave her was some dick .u a hatter
Anyone bought Xzibit’s new album?
YMCMB is a powerhouse of only THE BEST MC’s in the rap game. No other collective out their out matches this group. Mystikal KNOWS YMCMB is the best so he signed with the BEST. G-Unit is IRRELEVANT and so is Interscope. Weezy is the KIGN of HIP HOP and Pac would sure as fuck agree.
YMCMB!
Please kill yourself for saying that dumb shit.
GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE PAC DONT LIKE FAKE RAPPER LIKE WEEZY
