In 2003 he starred in the film 13 Dead Men.

Mystikal was also featured prominently in the single, “Move Bitch” by Ludacris as well as “I Don’t Give a Fuck” by Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz along with Krayzie Bone, both in 2002. The well received album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album in 2003, and Mystikal was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Male Rap Solo Performance that same year. Though it presented Mystikal’s typical and funky flow style, which had the distinction of drawing comparison to legendary R&B soul screamers Little Richard and James Brown, the song also saw a blending of jazz and swing elements with hip-hop. Mystikal’s most recent solo release was the 2001 album Tarantula, which contained the hit single, “Bouncin’ Back (Bumpin’ Me Against The Wall)”. The song retained cult-like popularity and can be heard in the background of numerous movies.

The album also featured the popular, Neptunes-produced hit “Shake Ya Ass”. Let’s Get Ready debuted at Number One on the Billboard 200, making it Mystikal’s only chart-topping album to date. Let’s Get Ready was released in 2000 and contained “Danger (Been So Long)”, which featured rising pop star Nivea, and was the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs number-one single in June 2001.

In 1999 he began recording his album after leaving No Limit. That was his last album with the label, and he left later in 1999 to go on his own In late 1998, he released Ghetto Fabulous. He appeared on many of the No Limit albums released from 1997 through a chunk of 1999. He signed to No Limit Records in 1996 and released Unpredictable in November 1997. Mystikal signed to Jive Records and released Mind of Mystikal in 1995. It wasn’t long after their beef that Mystikal and Lil Wayne decided to squash it and become collaborators. The songs “Dedicated To Michelle Tyler”, “Murderer” (both on Mind of Mystikal), “Murder 2”, “Shine” (both on Unpredictable) and “Murder III” (on Let’s Get Ready) refer to her murder. Mystikal’s sister, Michelle Tyler (whom he had close ties with), sang the chorus on “Not That Nigga” and her fate became a major influence on Mystikal’s music after her untimely death. He struck back with the diss “Beware” which was on his sophomore effort Mind of Mystikal.

They dissed him on tracks like “Drag ‘Em in Tha River” by U.N.L.V. He found himself in conflict with fellow New Orleans rappers signed to Cash Money Records including U.N.L.V., Lil Wayne and B.G. Mystikal’s debut album, Mystikal, was released on New Orleans-based independent record label Big Boy Records in 1994.
