Retro Video of the Week: "Here I Go" by Mystikal

Friday will mark the 25th anniversary of the release of New Orleans-based rapper Mystikal's second studio album, Unpredictable.  It was a big hit, topping the Billboard R&B album chart and going to #3 on the Billboard 200, starting a string of three consecutive #1 albums on the former and Top 5 albums on the latter.  It was also his first platinum album in the U.S.

There weren't any big hits off the album, but there were several videos.  I'm going with "Here I Go" because I just like the vibe of the song.  Mystikal would go on to have success on his own and as a featured artist on songs by other No Limit Records artists, like Master P and Silkk the Shocker, as well as non-No Limit artists, like Ludacris and Joe, among others.  Unfortunately, he has also had his fair share of legal issues over the last 20 years, spending six years in prison for sexual battery and extortion from 2004 to 2010, and then he was arrested in 2012, 2017, and 2022 on various serious charges.
