Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
It takes a few listens to sink in, but on Aquemini, Outkast have pulled off a rare feat in hip-hop: they've made a good record that's a masterpiece of subtlety. What's more, it's their third record, and they've yet to fall into a rut--and that alone puts them in line for an award. The Organized Noize production crew is sublime, working with live musicians and crafting hook-filled soundscapes that complement Big Boi and Andre Benjamin's melodic patter. (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.) Classy and intelligent, Outkast haven't sacrificed anything in their quest to make challenging, innovative hip-hop that forgoes idle boasting for the duo's message. A sample, from the title track: "Now, question: is every nigga wit dreads for the cause? / Is every nigga wit golds for the fall? Naw / So don't get caught in appearance."--Randy Silver
Chronique amazon.fr
Troisième effort longue distance pour le duo d'Atlanta, et troisième superbe réussite. En combinant inventivité et combativité, classe et crasse (Dirty South oblige), "gangsta shit" et introspection subtile, humour et spiritualité, et surtout en ne reculant devant aucune bizarrerie, Aquemini (après Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik et ATLiens) place Outkast définitivement à part dans le paysage rap américain. Dre et Big Boi préfèrent incontestablement regarder loin devant plutôt que par-dessus leur épaule, et chacune de leurs créations semble être une réponse à un certain formatage des productions hip-hop des grandes capitales des deux côtes. Que ce soit sur l'OVNI "Synthesizer" (avec George Clinton de Parliament), le magnifique et très soul "Liberation" (avec des contributions de Ceelo et d'Erykah Badu), les guitares de "Chonkyfire", la ligne de synthé de Midnight Express sur la profession de foi d'ouverture "Return Of The G", l'harmonica délirant du hit en puissance "Rosa Parks" (titre qui leur a valu pas mal de problèmes judiciaires avec l'intéressée), Outkast et leurs collaborateurs d'Organized Noise (à la production) ne se privent pas de débrider totalement leur inspiration, tant au micro que derrière les machines. Aquemini n'est donc pas avare en rebondissements et en excellents moments, comme le très moderne "Skew It On The Bar-B" (feat. Raekwon), l'enchaînement des deux parties de "Da Art Of Storytellin'", le superbe "Y'all Scared", le surprenant "Mamacita", et essayez donc d'oublier la trompette de "SpottieOttieDopaliscious"… Bref, un album incontournable. --Dambusta

ThErEs JuSt SoMeThInG aBoUt It
July 15 2004
Format:Audio CD
This album is beyond amazing.I'm really getting into Outkast's music-I have three of their albums now(this one,stankonia,and speakerboxx/luv below) and all three of them r classic.This one is just the most original.But its still cool!That's what you'll love about it.It doesn't matter what kind of music you like, you'll love this album.Obviously Andre is one of the best rappers ever-his verse on da art of storytelling reminds me of how Biggie was-u know how they could rap about something they experienced and you'd feel like you were there experiencing it with them?That's it.Big Boi is great too-but if u really wana hear the best of him listen to speakerboxx.andre always stands out on their albums together.rosa parks was a huge hit-and i can see why it has a nice beat,catchy hook, and unbelievable verses-especially andre.GOD,he is good.But anyways-return of the g has a nice fast delivery and it has an orchestra on it-how many other rappers can rap over an orchestra?then theres skew it on the barb which is another nice track with raekwon,aquemini-which sticks in my head alot-is classic,synthesizer is weird but it grows on u.I luv slump-tht is a great song 2 jus chill2,same 4 west savannah and the funky,mellow spottieottiedopalicsious.I wish theyd rapped on that song,tho.I enjoy most every track,I like the guitar on chonkyfire-tho i like mostly rap,I'm a sucker for guitars,i actually play bass.To close,this album is just a classic up there with life after death,reasonable doubt,and all eyez on me.To represnt the South in their classic record report,the Source chose this record.Im not surprised-its soooo great.If u like rock,funk,rap,hiphop,soul,r and b,hell music period...youll love this record.CLASSIC.

this is a great album. I have to admitt that i never bought an outkast album before speekerbox/thelove below (i actually think it's brilliant because it's different). Anyway back to this album i love every song and to anyone dissapointed because it's not mainstream enough, outkast's first few album's aren't nearly as commercial as the new ones. Even though the new ones are good these are classics.
There are also great guest appearances especially in "Liberation" which features outkast singing alongside erykah badu and see-lo.
This is one of the best albums i own and i own over 300 albums

you would have to have skill to come back from ATLiens and still be good. The songs are soooooo different from other rap cds. its a must have whether or not you like rap. Some of the things to remember is they do more storytelling in this album then in there others. In my opion the energy in this album is huge, this is where Andre starts his hyper stage in some of the songs even though his energy in Stankonia and The Love Below is even higher. This Album is up there with Illmatic, and Resonable Doubt in my opinion. The only album i would recomend more than this one is ATLiens, or possibly Illmatic(except Illmatic is really short). Nearly a flawless album.

Aquemin-amazing!
No, you won't find any bad puns like "Aquemin-amazing" while listening to Aquemini, you would probably be too engulfed in the hypnotic beats and catchy lyrics to notice. Read more

A classic, but they all are
It is a testament to the rest of the album that though there are 3 fillers on this album (Skew it, Mamacita, Y'all scared), it still gets 5 stars in my opinion. Read more

How to follow up ATLiens? An Impossible Task
After Releasing ATLiens in '96 which is considered by me one of the top 3 greatest albums ever, it seemed nearly impossible to even come close to another album like ATLiens. Read more
