So the internet was a buzz today with OutKast headlining Coachella - felt it was appropriate to dig out my copy of Aquemini...
This disc really brings back allot of great memories for me. In college, I spent a lot of time listening and discussing hip-hop with one particular friend - Tony Weakland. His personal collection of Hip Hop albums was unparalleled to anyone I had ever met. His knowledge bordered on encyclopedic... which may have been a byproduct of being white.
I don't know how many hours were lost discussing the cultural significance of hip-hop... but I vividly remember listening to SpottieOttieDopaliscious for the first time and pressing him for details about OutKast.
I wonder what Weakland thinks about the OutKast reuniting for Coachella? Just sent him a DM on twitter...
Anyhoo - here's my favorite cuts from the album:
Artist: OutKast
