Podcasts about outkast's aquemini

Rae leads KP on a journey through Aquemini the 3rd offering from Hip Hop Legends Outkast. They go in depth on this classic! Discussing its importance to Outkast and the genre in general. 

In 1995, OutKast was booed by an angry crowd at the Source Awards after they won Best New Artist. During his speech, Andre 3000 famously declared "The South got something to say." Nowadays, ATL has a solid place in the history of rap, but OutKast had to fight for a seat at the table. OutKast becomes the newest member of the Triple Crown club here on Heat Rocks and we're talking to professor/scholar Regina Bradley about the duo's smothered, covered, diced, and topped LP, Aquemini. We discuss Andre's evolution as a rapper, the deep Atlanta love throughout the record, and where this album ranks in OutKast's discography.  More on Regina BradleyOutKasted ConversationsRegina's podcast Bottom of the MapWebsite  TwitterMore on AqueminiOutkast’s ‘Aquemini,’ the blueprint of the Southern black renaissance, turns 20 (The Undefeated)Aquemini Turns 20 (Stereogum)The Making of Aquemini (Creative Loafing)Show Tracklisting (all songs from Aquemini unless otherwise indicated):Rosa ParksSpottieOttieDopalisciousHold On, Be StrongSlumpWest SavannahReturn of the "G"NathanielRosa ParksSpottieOttieDopalisciousMamacitaDa Art of Storytellin' (Pt. 1)LiberationSpottieOttieDopalisciousChonkyfireAqueminiRosa ParksDe La Soul: Patti DookeGoodie Mob: Cell TherapyDungeon Family: Trans D F ExpressEARTHGANG: Blue MoonHere is the Spotify playlist of as many songs as we can find thereIf you’re not already subscribed to Heat Rocks in Apple Podcasts, do it here!

For their latest subject, the guys focus on Outkast's Aquemini album with star witness Quincy Jones (not THAT guy). The album, which was released in 1998, was the duo's third release and is widely considered to be one of their most pivotal albums. But in this court? Not everyone agrees.

Carlos (of Carlito's Way Since 1988) and I reminisce over the amazing level of content that NY rap produced. What were our impressions of DMX' remarkable debut album? What led to Jay-Z selling over 5 million units and becoming a household name? Why does Outkast's Aquemini album hold up so well? What are some of the best posse cuts of the year?

Brain Rapp's first experience began at the age of nine when he stole his older sister's copy of Outkast's Aquemini that she received for Christmas. Having seen the video for "Rosa Parks" weeks before, Brain was mesmerized by the bright lights, upbeat rhythm, and fast-paced rhymes.  This experience set the ball rolling in terms of Brain's infatuation with hip hop. Listening to Outkast for hours at a time, he began to memorize their lyrics, repeating their words to his friends as fast as he could.  Soon Brain began writing rhymes of his own. He found the activity cathartic, as it helped him cope with living in a tumultuous household. For years Brain kept his writing to himself, seeing it primarily as a form of therapy and less as a viable career option. It wasn't until he joined the Undergrounduates, a freestyle-cypher club at the University of Maryland, that he began to contemplate the idea of pursuing rap professionally. Performing at campus events in front of large crowds finally gave him the energy he needed to begin the difficult transition from introverted hip hop hobbyist to full-fledged artist.   SoundCloud Twitter Instagram Facebook Google+
