Some tracks on this album were recorded while Mystikal was still signed to No Limit, with plans to release an album in late 1999 titled 'Let’s Get Ready to Rumble'. However, that project was shelved due to the end of his contract. Additional songs were later added, culminating in the release of 'Let’s Get Ready'.
Notable tracks include 'Jump', which feels like a precursor to Mystikal and Ludacris's hit 'Move Bitch'. 'Neck Uv Da Woods', featuring OutKast, leans heavily toward OutKast's signature sound thanks to the instrumentation, but as with many of Mystikal's collaborations, it works well. 'Ain’t Gonna See Tomorrow' stands out as a dark, introspective, and undeniably strong track.
While the album features Mystikal's two biggest hits—the Neptunes-produced 'Danger (Been So Long)' and 'Shake Ya Ass'—it doesn’t quite match the energy or consistency of his previous effort, the underrated 'Ghetto Fabulous'. That album grips you from the outset and maintains its momentum, whereas this one struggles to sustain the same impact. That said, 'Let’s Get Ready' offers plenty of solid tracks without any outright skips, though it lacks the standout moments that elevate a good album into a great one.
