At this point, we were very confident that we had a fan base that was riding with us. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy – Kanye West.Life After Death – The Notorious B.I.G.The Low End Theory – A Tribe Called Quest (1991).AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted – Ice Cube (1990).People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm – A Tribe Called Quest (199).In The Source’s history, there have only been 15 albums that originally received Five Mics: The Source awarded Aquemini with a rare Five Mic rating, making it the first Souther rap album to receive the distinction, and the ninth album overall. The album was universally lauded when it dropped September 29, 1998, with Charlie Braxton of The Source (back when the magazine was still considered the bible of hip hop music) praising OutKast for their “uncanny blend of sonic beauty, poignant lyricism and spirituality that compels without commanding.” In my opinion, OutKast’s third album, Aquemini dropped in 1998 ( an incredible year for hip hop which featured classic drops from Lauryn Hill, Jay-Z and DMX) is their creative zenith, combining the outwardly sounds of ATLiens with the earthly tones of Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, with live instrumentation thrown into the mix.įrom the confrontational opener, “Return of the ‘G'”, where Andre addresses all the talks about the duo to the album closer, “Chonkyfire”, which features a snippet of their chilling prophecy at The Source Awards (“the South got somethin’ to say”), Aquemini is front-to-back as perfect a hip hop album as you can make. The legendary Atlanta duo is one of the few rap acts in history who doesn’t have a universally agreed upon classic – instead, they have four, or five depending on how you look at it. All countries are coming together to review progress towards the Plans five.
Upon the album’s release, the group garnered high levels of critical acclaim for the unique way in which their music twinned political consciousness with funky beats and playful bravado. The degradation and loss of forests is one such contributing factor.
