OutKast | Aquemini If I was in the proverbial desert island scenario, Aquemini would undoubtedly be the album I’d be bringing with me. Although picking my favorite OutKast album would be like asking a parent who their favorite child is, Aquemini will always stick out to me because, in my opinion, it was the moment that André 3000 and Big Boi transcended the ATLiens, André Benjamin and Antwan Patton becoming much more than just rappers. This unique sense mythology combined with the Dungeon Family’s signature blend of Funk, Jazz, Hip Hop and everything that feels right, makes the album feel just as exciting as the very first time Hold On, Be Strong trickled into my headphones. This larger than Life, hyper real aesthetic is another important aspect of Music for me. I think nowhere is this feeling clearer than on the title track as the two share prophetic verse of both “children dead off in the path way” and “wood grain steering wheels”, all in the same cohesive idea. On one hand, deep in my heart and soul I know exactly what the song is about, but on the other I could never find the right words to define it. That’s the hardest shit since MC Rand.
