Continuing the celebration of Hip Hop’s 50 th anniversary, Sony Music Entertainment (SME) and Certified will release Outkast’s Aquemini 25 TH Anniversary Edition and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below 20 TH Anniversary Edition in partnership with Get On Down. See "Rosa Parks," "Chonkyfire," and the epic "Liberation" which features Erykah Badu , Cee Lo, and Big Rube--and clocks in at just under nine minutes. The carefully-pressed, 180-gram vinyl is the definitive version of their 1998 classic, Aquemini, for audiophiles and casual listeners alike, providing a superior sound experience with unprecedented sonic clarity.I'd love to get an original pressing copy because it appears that is the only analog sourced pressing but I can't find much info out there.

Five years after its release, it made it into Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, being ranked at number 500.

Tongue-flippin', rhyme-spittin' and Cadillac-ridin', all with a Southern accent, Big Boi and Dre have proved tobe the South's ideal MCs. The group evolved from the space age minimalist production of ATLiens and incorporated live instrumentation drawing on 1970s funk, southern soul, gospel, country, psychedelic rock, and other influences. More ambitious and hook driven then their debut album, 2000's Stankonia is a trippy sort of technopsychedelic funk. Aquemini is the third studio album by American hip hop duo OutKast, released on September 29, 1998 through LaFace Records. Outkast takes an everyday situation and turns it into an amazing storytelling journey into outer space.

If you aren't going to contract the job to a plant that can make "cloudy" records, don't claim to be selling them, and don't fall back on blaming the mockup when you deliver an unsatisfying product. The title of OutKast’s third studio album, Aquemini, is a portmanteau of the two members’ Zodiac signs: Aquarius (Big Boi) and Gemini (André 3000). The title track is a stoned-funk that opens with a mantra "Even the sun goes down, heroes eventually die/Horoscopes often lie and sometimes 'y'/Nothing is for sure, nothing is for certain, nothing lasts forever/But until they close the curtain, it's him and I, Aquemini". Aquemini was certified platinum in November 1998, only two months after its release, and was certified double platinum on July 2, 1999, by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).The title is a portmanteau of the two performers' Zodiac signs: Aquarius (Big Boi) and Gemini(André 3000), which is indicative of the album's recurring theme of the differing personalities of the two members. this album is fantastic it sounds like an album that came out this year, it doesnt sound like it was released in 1998 at all.
