Aquemini Appreciation Thread

[Danie84]

Their first and Atliens are unviversal classics. But., THIS is their magnum opus. And, sadly the last time 'Kast was ever the same. Be honest, all the other albums that came after were too grandiose and way out (pun intended) there.



Big Boi, Mr. Clinton, Andre, and the production on this was

Will we ever hear a new album from them, together again?

Dope album... I like Atliens better.

I remember this album came out during same time as brand Nubian's Foundation I believe.

I'm one of those cats who used to think ATLiens was better

But I was only kidding myself..Aquemini is in a class by itself..musically light years ahead of anything they ever released before or after it.

One of the most overlooked, worst & funniest verses I've ever heard was on this album.

Outkast - Mamacita - YouTube

Also one of the most overlooked & gayest lines...by Witchdoctor - "fukkin with nikkas with ageless bodies...while i squeeze it bare."

Being from NY, it was this album that put me onto Outkast in 98 when i was 15...thanks to the Source giving it 5 mics. I was looking for some new, different type of music that I would hit home more at the time...and Andre blew me away with this album. His & Big Pun this that year made me .
