Police paid Mystikal a little visit right before Halloween as a part of a sex offender compliance check meant to protect kids during the sugar-feast called trick-or-treating.
The rapper has been a part of routine checks due to a 2004 conviction of sexual battery but he made clear to a local news WBRZ that he had some differences from others.
“I have the same fears that most parents have, I don’t have an offense against no young kids, or nothing like that, which don’t make my offense no better, but still, protect your kids man, protect your kids, our kids are the most important thing we have,” said Mystikal.
Other sexual offenders checked had hardcore offenses against kids and were barred from giving out candy and wearing masks as well.
The 44 year-old served several years in jail and will be listed as a sex offender for the rest of his life. He doesn’t let the routine get him down.
“I don’t do the pity party thing, I have to participate in sex offender groups and stuff like that, it don’t stop your life man,” said Mystikal.
Check out Mystical talk about his own issues as well as moving forward in the video above.

A Hollywood Reporter post recently announced a report informing Kendrick Lamar’s return to Saturday Night Live. The last time the TDE rapper was on SNL, the young rapper was performing his good kid, m.A.A.d city single “Swimming Pools”. Curiosity definitely has us wondering whether we will hear a new song performed on Saturday Night Live, but we are sure that we’ll hear Kendrick perform “i” on stage.
This week in The Odd Side is for the artists that deserves their credit
Earlier this week, the Huffington Post interviewed Danny Brown before he performed. The Detroit rapper declared himself to be the best rapper and respected. Though it may seem like this is completely far-fetched, it is important to give Danny Brown the credit he deserves. His two projects The Hybrid and XXX were critically acclaimed, with his debut album Old being declared one of the best albums to come out in 2013. With all of this success though, there is one major thing that Danny Brown is doing for Hip Hop. Something that many rappers like him wish to do: he’s bringing punk culture to the forefronts of Hip Hop. So give that man the credit he deserves.
Jaden Smith is another artist to look out for. Don’t let the “Will Smith’s son” and “Karate Kid” history fool you, this dude has been dropping firing lately. Let’s hope we hear an actual album from this Jaden soon.
What do you think about both of these artists? Do you think they deserve the credit, or nah? Let me know on Twitter @VBrinkley513

EDM and Hip Hop is merging something deeper and doper than we can imagine, and Baauer is one of the producers among many who are making it happen. This go around, the Harlem Shake producer teams up with London electronic duo AlunaGeorge and “No Flex Zone” crew Rae Sremmurd for the new track “One Touch”. Bauuer produces hip hop beat while the vocals of Aluna Francis’ (half of AlunaGeorge) and rhymes of Rae Sremmurd mix to make something odd and familiar at the same damn time.

R&B veteran Johnny Gill is gearing up for the release of his upcoming album Game Changer slated for release this December. The R&B legend recently sat down with HipHollywood for an interview. A pleasant surprise from the album is the fact that New Edition will be making an appearance.
“My brothers, New Edition, we have a song on there with all of us, “For Me & You,” and it’s like just a grown folks song,” said Gill. According to the R&B crooner the group had so much fun recording the song that they have decided to go back into the studio and work on a whole new album together.
“We’re actually just trying to get the scheduling together to start going in, I have about 4 songs I had brought to the table that the guys like, that we are gonna get get started on recording, and then we want to definitely visit Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis which is where its all been for us, making them a part of our lives and apart of this journey as we move forward,” said Gill.
If the new N.E. album comes about, this would be New Edition’s eighth studio album.

Even though this guy has recently appeared in family films and hosted the Oscars, Rock has always been a comedian known for his controversial topics. Was Chris Rock’s monologue too close to home?

The ONE thing you probably don’t want to do if you have a underage girl rumors is take her out with you to party. But, that is just what Tyga did yesterday for Halloween. He partied with Kylie Jenner, the daughter of Bruce Jenner, who now looks like the mother of Kylie. BUT I DIGRESS. He went as Chuckee from the movie and she went as something sexy. I’m thinking there is more to this story.
She’s 17, man!
