Flat out, this is what you would want in a compilation covering Mystikal's years with the Jive label. The hits are here, there are a couple new tracks with one being a hot single, and the collection is well paced. The fact that Mystikal is just starting his six years in prison on a sexual battery plea bargain is hard to ignore when one swaggering club number after another thumps out of the speakers. Hard, confrontational hits that were once visceral and volatile sound pitiful if you can't see past Mystikal's actions/fate, but releasing "Pussy Pop" as the single -- as good a party jam as it is -- is a move Jive should have thought twice about. That the verse starts with "I know you're waiting for my album to drop" is kind of ironic, but when Mystikal instructs the object of his desire to "bust it open for me" like she's "suppose to" it's unintentionally chilling. Mystikal's plea was an admission of guilt, and let's hope he's reforming, but what about Jive's irresponsible move? If your ability to separate the artist from the art is strong, have at it. Mystikal's style lends itself to singles and best-ofs, so here you go. You can forgive Jive for releasing a greatest-hits since it's going to be awhile before they get their rapper back. On the other hand, there's at least one woman who will be haunted until "Pussy Pop" has dropped off the charts. Jive's choice of the single is one of the most distasteful moves the music business has come up with to date.
