OutKast - Aquemini

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:
