Michael Tyler went to Cohen High School in New Orleans. Later he would go on to be in the Army and serve as a Meal, Ready-to-Eat supply clerk assigned to a stateside support unit.
His debut album was Mystikal, released on the indie label Big Boy Records in 1995. He signed to Jive Records to release Mind of Mystikal in 1996. The album sold well, and he signed to Master P's No Limit Records for Unpredictable in 1997. The album sold well, and garnered him critical praise, though his real breakthrough was Let's Get Ready released in 2000, led by The Neptunes-produced hit "Shake Ya Ass," and the only slightly-less-successful single "Danger (Been So Long)," which featured rising pop star Nivea. It debuted at Number One on the Billboard 200, making it his only chart-topper to date.
One of his most recent releases was the 2001 album Tarantula, which contained the single, "Bouncin' Back (Bumpin' Me Against The Wall)". Though it presented Mystikal's typical and unique flow style, the song also saw a blending of jazz and swing elements with hip-hop. He was also featured on "Move Bitch" by Ludacris.
On January 16, 2004 Mystikal was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to forcing his hairstylist to perform sex acts. He also admitted to extortion. The rapper and two bodyguards forced the woman to perform oral sex after they accused her of stealing $80,000 in checks. Mystikal initinally denied the assault, but confessed after a videotape of the crime was found at his home. Bodyguards Leland "Pokie" Ellis and Vercy "V" Carter also pled guilty to sexual battery. Mystikal's 2006 parole hearing led to a denial of parole, specifically "1002186 SEXUAL BATTERY OF INFIRM" and "702127 EXTORTION."
He is currently incarcerated at the Elayn Hunt Correctional Center, which is just outside of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. His D.O.C. number is 00469659.
In August 2005, while incarcerated on the state sexual battery and extortion charges, Mystikal was charged federally with two misdemeanor counts of failing to file tax returns for 1998 and 1999. On January 12, 2006, he was convicted in federal court of the tax offenses, but was allowed to serve the one year federal sentence concurrent with his six year state sentence.
Mystikal was incarcerated at Louisiana's Elayn Hunt Correctional Center. On January 19, 2006, Mystikal was denied parole at a parole board hearing.
On January 11, 2007, Mystikal was released from custody on the federal misdemeanor tax convictions (as his one-year sentence had expired), but he remains in custody on the 6-year sentence for the Louisiana state felony convictions.

Mystikal
What's up my nigga
It's Da Brat-tat-tat
Lettin' the whole motherfuckin' world
Know I got your back
If you don't like what my nigga Mystikal do
Step to it, know what I'm sayin'
You don't like what the fuck I do, step to me
We 'gone see about your motherfuckin' ass, nigga
Huh, uh, uh
[Da Brat]
If I do somethin' you don't like
Come and see about it
You want to box get 'cha dues somethin', or be 'bout it
And ride off into the sunset,
With the windows down, feet out it
I got a foul mouth, I blow weed out it
Separate these thighs, get the price and eat out it
Ain't no other bitch rowdy like me
S-O, S-O, D-E-F, U.C.K.
Y'all bitch ass niggas disbehave me since the first day
Worst way to kill 'em is hit the top of the charts
First week at number one, R&B be a war
Leave ya fake-ass manager home
And if you need a nigga to see about me, come along
I keep my enemies a far, don't need a friendly to me
I make at least twenty-five just to breathe on the beat
Tell me, how many niggas want to fuck this bitch named Brat
60644 is where I'm at, come see
[Hook: Mystikal & Da Brat] 2x
You don't like!
Come and see about me
You gotta problem!

What's up whodi!

Who a that, the burnin' man, burner man
Yeah, came here to burn some ass
You don't see the burnin' man
You don't see the blazin' hands
You don't see 'em when I walk past
(All smokin' in Hell)
The So So, Da Brat brought
Petey Pab and Mystikal
Not now one of why'all
Can fuck with these bulldogs
Known for breakin' the law, just came home
Get it on 'bout this damn microphone
Who the best, who said this and who said that
Here go three of the best on this God damn track
And you can believe that
Willing to bet my drive check
If you don't rewind this back
Somethin' wrong with deck
I'm a can't forget spinnin off the wall type shit
And no it didn't, I'm talkin' 'bout why'all type shit
Greensboro to Cuira, Chapel Hill type shit
Better send them folks to check for this
'Cause I'm the one that ill
[Hook: x2]
[Mystikal]
He's runnin' for your majesty, he's lost you with excellency
His panicked decisions definitely can't stand next to me
Dick get hard like Rob-eye, look at Hanley
You know that four can break down hits on shit, be drillin's man
We 'gone kill 'em in New Orleans, like kill 'em for jumb
As cold as the Arctic, recorded in Georgia (rouff, rouff)
None the blues don't approve, why'all niggas pink lemonade
I hit the booth, your whole crew burst the canalade
Such a bunch of fuckin' cowards
Ain't worth the dirt that come off my ass
You go down the drain when I take my shower
New Expedition via Eddie Bowers
Sometimes I gotta comb these fuckin' rappers hair, fix they collar
want to be like me, we can take your bitch, and smack that daughter
Be a man, and tell them bitches what you causin'
I'm a south cowboy, Howdy!
Call them creepers, come and see about me
[Hook: x2]
[Mystikal]
I come up out the cage and, I stand ragin', keep it blazin'
Bitch I'm crazy, half man, half amazin'
Half way up the charts, and bitch I'm halfway in your ass
I'm only halfway with this rhyme, and got half why'all mad
Soon as I come in this bitch
You know I'm comin' in this bitch with somethin'
The mic parker said "that's a bad rappin' motherfucker"
I'll bust your ass up like a
Mutherfuckin' bug stuck on the windshield wiper, walkin'
Get 'cha gibber tape, for mister shit-talker
The Volgar, the champion'll knock your shows off
I'll cut 'cha like a Newport, with no gauze (oh don't)
Bitch I'm stupid like I lost a few more
Still bossin' 'em, still tossin' 'em
Still holdin' MC's hand
Takin' they ass across the street walkin'
So let me know when you ready to bust
With your head on the pavement
Bring ya ass, you don't need no fuckin' invitation
[Mystikal & Da Brat]
Come and see about me
Come and see about me, nigga
Come and see about me
Come and see about me
[Hook: x2]
Come and see about me
