aquemini vs. only built 4 cuban linx

[I love Latina women]

Aquemini tho

Skew It on the Bar-B

Ross Parks

Liberation

Aquemini

Da Art of Storytellin' Pt. 1

I could do this for the whole album

it's a listenin' EXPERIENCE and JOURNEY

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

and aquemini ain't iconic either?

not iconic as atliens.

 

[I love Latina women]

not iconic as atliens.

i'd say it is and i love atliens as well but somethin' bout aquemini got more of that "fiyah!" with an exclamation point!

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

a couple of things...

1. i know you ain't gon front on aquemini like that. seriously, bruh. that album can hang with only built. i'm tired of nikkas not givin' us (the south) are due. big and dre proved they could go toe to toe with ANY in the south AND outside of the south with that album along with atliens, stankonia and southernplayasticadillacmuzik

2. those 8 minutes of MUSIC for the HEART, MIND and SOUL go back to the days of when parliament funkadelic and issac hayes use to have those long soulful and funky songs. those are like jam sessions. kast learned from old school cats like george clinton, sly stone, jimi hendrix, prince and isaac hayes with that

those 8 minute jams shyt on most nikkas' careers in hip hop

cappadonna? won't that nikka drivin' a cab a few years back? nuff said

i still see the east coast bias on here but it's all good, real nikkas know what's up





kids say the darnest things

South?

In the early 2000s I went to college and had some freinds from virginia. I'm talking va beach, hampton, norfolk, and newport news.

Y'all always seemed like some east coast cats to me . I mean the nikkas that I knew from those parts blended right into philly, baltimore, and dc with ease

@stomachlines you my man's 100 grand but you know you was raised on that east coast shyt .

Are you really gonna try and tell me that allen iverson was a down south nikka

va is the south
va is different from the carolinas, kentucky, ga, new orleans, texas, etc etc obviously because we close to the north like maryland, jersey, pa, new york
especially the close you get to northen va, like arlington and all of that. northern va is kinda like night and day to norfolk, richmond, suffolk, etc etc
but we still the south. va is a confederate state and the capital of confederacy
but again, we still the south
i know a lot of people don't think we are, but we are
i think some of us seemed kinda east coast because at the time, esp if you refer back to the 90's everybody and they mama wanted to claim east
i grew up in the 90's when nobody wanted to claim no parts of va and was always on some "i from new york by way of my grandma" type shyt
nobody wanted to say, "i'm from va". to be honest, timbaland, missy and then timbaland and the neptunes and the clipse made it a bit more cooler
timbaland will tell you straight up, he a country nikka
it's different here cause we ain't the "dirty south" but we still southern and i know plenty of people from further down south (my great aunt from new orleans, r.i.p.) who don't view va as "the south" because it ain't ga, it ain't new orleans, it ain't texas, it ain't memphis or the carolinas etc etc

and yeah, you know i came up on east coast hip hop primarily because when i was young that's what was gettin' the most play BUT i got an older sister who was a huge music head like me, and she always listened to EVERYTHING and at the time, we was more west coast fans then we were east coast. everythin' west coast we LOVED! but we always kept an open ear to it ALL. i guess we got that from my mom and dad too though

allen iverson is a down south nikka to me

 

[bigrodthe1]

I don't think Aquemini was 'Kast best album so I got to go with Linx

 

[untaintedbeats]

I put Cuban ahead but to be honest both are great albums...can't go wrong with either one...

 

[Theodoresolderbreh]

aquemini which hates me to say over cuban linx. that was one of the few cds i walked to the store to buy right after school i still got a copy of it. but rosa parks art of storytelling and aquemini is what solidfied my outkast stanning and i realized andre had bars.




My mind warps and bends, floats the wind, count to ten
Meet the twin Andre Ben, welcome to the lion's den
Original skin many men comprehend
I extend myself so you go out and tell a friend
Sin all depends on what you believing in
Faith is what you make it, that's the hardest shyt since MC Ren
Alien can blend right on in with your kin
Look again, cause I swear I spot one every now and then
It's happening again, wish I could tell you when
Andre, this is Andre, y'all are just gon' have to make amends





shyt raekwon the gawd was even on the cd

 

[Gains]

ob4cl made Outkast reassess themselves

thats why they were "building" with Rae on that skit

that's not true...the reason that track happened is because there was a 'misunderstanding' between wu and dungeon family, so they did this track to smooth things over....the 'misunderstanding' was rza running his mouth about what he considered 'real' hiphop, what he respected, etc...and kast, dungeon family, the south in general wasnt it....so, goodie mob responded first with the lead track off the 2nd album....cee-lo was talking about/to rza: 'i thought you said you was the g.o.d., sound like another nikka to me'....also, you have to remember this was after kast got boo'd at the source awards in 95 for winning best new artist, so they were a lil sensitive to any type of slight and ready to go at it with whomever....it's the reason dre's speech from said awards ends the album..... anyway, cooler heads prevailed and linked them up to stop anything from further happening....

 

[lutha]

as for this thread: both classic albums, cant go wrong with either...with that said, i'm going with aquemini
