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

No matter how good his verbal skills are, he can't help the fact that his backing tracks are flat-out boring and that is what sinks his record. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
