Outkast aquemini full album4/21/2023 By collaborating with some of Atlanta's finest instrumentalists on record, they created one of their most experimental and musical releases to date. DJ was churning out some serious beats on the drum machine. Big was penning the hooks that would help turn OutKast into celebrated pop stars. Dre was producing more, following the blueprint inherited from mentors Ray Murray, Rico Wade and Sleepy Brown of Organized Noize. The resulting mix was earthy and ethereal - a perfect bridge between their artistic extremes. Not only were Antwon "Big Boi" Patton and Andre "3000" Benjamin eager to prove that they were still down, they wanted to lift the 'hood a little higher. But if the contextual leap from their Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik debut to ATLiens was fueled by an Afrofuturistic flight of fancy (and, lest we forget, their feelings of alienation from hip-hop's East Coast vanguard), then Aquemini was OutKast's return mission home. They'd gone from red clay players to extraterrestrials - down-to-earth to out-of-this-world - in the span of two albums. I ain't fuckin' with them no mo'.īy the time Aquemini was due to drop in the fall of 1998, no one knew what to expect from the-soon-to-be-iconic OutKast. Then they be talkin' 'bout that black righteous space. Then they were some aliens or some genies - some shit. With additional reporting by Jacinta Howard and Phillip Mlynar GOD BLESS THE CHILD THAT’S GOT HIS OWN: Andre and Big Boi came into their own on ''Aquemini''.
