He has been released, check out the new interview here http://bit.ly/5p8Bk5
(I wrote this blog a couple of months ago.) I hadn’t thought about Mystikal in a very long time until I ran across this picture the other day. We were on the set of the “Move” with Ludacris music video and I can recall being captivated by his presence. Here was a man who smoked more “weed” than any rapper I had ever seen and chased it with Hennessy, sipping the liquor as if it was gatorade. And yet when you would go get him for his scene, he would be remarkably alert, taking direction well and staying focused on the task at hand. He was quite a paradox! I remember one instance I came to get him for a shot and walked onto his tour bus and saw a young lady giving him comfort and joy on her knees before him. I was stunned, to say the least, but he simply said to me “Here I come”. The irony tickles me to this day.
The next time I would work with him was on the set of Lil Jon’s video “I Don’t Give a F@#K”. He was consistant with his disposition and as usual great to work with, but you could always see the angel and the devil at work within this talented man. I have seen the same saga play out so many times within my industry and quite frankly even within myself. I remember living my own life as if I had no consequences, justifying my actions, surrounded by people who were ticking timebombs and not knowing the SECRET at all. When I heard of Mystical going to jail for a sex crime that was committed on tape, I was horrified! I was more upset when I read the blogs with comments from indivduals who focused on the “hairstylist who was a thief” as justification for his actions. It is not what the hairstylist did to him that is the SECRET to this entry but yet how he came to serve a 6 year jail sentence.
My mother always said to me growing up “TELL ME WHO YOUR FIRENDS ARE…AND I WILL KNOW WHO YOU ARE.” Mystikal performed these acts of abuse with his “homeboys”. It was a COLLECTIVE effort. We must all examine our relationships around us. A person should chooses their friends, lovers, and associates consciously. We should actively seek out the company of people who inspire and challenge, and willingly shed those who hold us back. Check out the formula I learned in the video clip below. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE! Perhaps if Mystikal had known these PRINCIPLES OF THE SECRET, he might have made different choices. I am praying that now he is released he will have grown to be a a better man who will fulfill a greater destiny than a great rapper I simply forgot about.
