Pros: Inventive, expansive production. Andre and Big Boi coming into their own as rappers Cons: Slow start, few blah tracks here and there
More than anything else they've done, "Aquemini" is OutKast's "statement" album. What said statement is, I'm not always 100% on, though Andre railing against uncreative thug rap on "Return of the 'G'," painting a desperate picture of his urban ...

Pros: Great lyricism, socially conscious subject matter, eclectic production Cons: A couple average unmentioned songs
Well, this review marks me hitting the Big 1-0-0 milestone. Yeah, I know it's not much compared to most of the established writers on here, but I never thought I would be writing on this site for so long. I know that is the party line but it's the ...

Pros: Top-Notch Lyrics and Flows, Unique Production, Originality, Variety, Humorous, Subject Matter Cons: A Few Weaker Moments

acmuzic
was successful in putting them on the map, but they're creative talent had yet to be completely displayed on an album. Outkast are one of ...

Pros: Great style and guest appearances, Outkast finally distinguishes from other acts. Cons: Crappy skits, some might not like the Southern flavor.
Rap Aquemini is THE definition of Outkast, no questions asked. Even though most people are only familiar with their newer materials, for anyone new to to the group (or even rap) this album is a good place to start. Big Boi and Andre 3000, develop ...

Pros: Vibrant, funky and vastly innovative production. Soulful influences. Conscious, creative and non-chalant lyrics. Cons: Southern accent might annoy. Some songs don't merge. Extended soul sessions might be too much.
20th Review! "nah nah nah nine in my hand, ounce in my crotch, diggin the scene with the gangsta slouch...mmmmmmmmhmmm" From the early to mid 90s OutKast defined the Dirty South Rap scene with their ultra-cool super speed rap skills, innovative ...

Pros: Great production by Outkast and Organized Noize; A classic; Socially conscious Cons: Not for all ages; adult themes and lyrics
Big Boi and Andre have formed one of the most celebrated hip hop groups since A Tribe Called Quest. After breaking into the scene back in the early 90’s, it has been nothing but a snowball effect for them ever since. Crafting their own style...

by DVON - Top 1000, May 26 '01
Pros: Socially conscious lyrics, tight flows, P- Funk beats, originality, few, but good, guest appearances. Cons: None.
OutKast, ever since dropping their first LP Southernplayalisticadillacmuzic, have been incredibley thoughtful, socially aware, and above all, great lyricists that only seemed to get better with each additional...

Pros: Excellent CD Cons: None
Ever since Outkast broke onto the scene with "Southernplayalisticcadillacmuzik", these cats have been dropping innovative lyrics and some lovely beats to go along with them. Andre & Big Boi's rhyming styles are just as different as the...

Pros: creative lyrics and sound, rap that can be called music Cons: none worth mentioning
In an absolutely depressing rap industry full of arrogant rappers making the same song over and over again with meaningless lyrics, it's not unfair for people to use the old corny phrase "rap is cr@p." Because for the most part this is very...

Pros: The way this album is put together Cons: "Mamacita"
I first caught the buzz of this album when I saw the video for "Liberation", which has guest spots by Erykah Badu and Cee-Lo(of fellow Atlanta natives, Goodie Mob). Later I heard "Rosa Parks" which soon turned into the rage of...

Pros: Great beats, and rhymes, for all hip-hop headz Cons: Not many
So, you're looking for an album that can educate you like Lauryn Hill and entertain you like Juvenile? And you want it to be something to bounce to? You have found the right album.
Aquemini is the finished version of OutKast, but they've...

Pros: Chics dig Outkast, and its bass is off the wall, and chics dig Outkast. Cons: Some people are offended by some of its explicit lyrics.
I bought this album because i heard it in my brother's car and I was smitten to the music's style. Outkast has a strange-but-in-a-good-way type of performing their music. They're smooth, yet a little harsh at the "climax" of the song. The...

by Benjamin , Sep 27 '99
Pros: a completely original rap album- now that's a feat. Cons: kind of a downer.
This is a serious record- definitely no instant gratification here, except maybe the first catchy single "Rosa Parks." I got the impression from all of the people complimenting this album as, "The Atlanta duo's best," that the appeal...

Pros: Great cd, no complaints Cons: was hoping for a double cd
I would have to say this is the best Outkast cd to date. It has some great songs on it just like their cd's released before it. But this cd comes with great new songs with a new style. I have liked Outkast since their first cd but in my opinion this...
