On this day in 1998, Outkast dropped their 3rd acombined zodiac signs and creativity to produce not only their best collective work, but one of the most important albums in hip-hop, Aquemini.

World-wise, wary, alien and earthy, Aquemini is the quintessential OutKast album, coming at a time when fans of their 1994 debut, Southernplaylisticadillacmusic and their outstanding, space-age sophomore 1996 effort, ATLiens, were confused and concerned about Big and Dre’s standing as artists and friends.

Lyrically, Big and Dre were completely in another realm, with life-lessons and analysis that remain relevant. Just listen to the hook on the lead single, “Rosa Parks,” the outer space, tingling energy on “Aquemini,” the dystopian futuristic “Synthesizer,” or the storytelling on “The Art of Storytellin’ (Pt. 1).” After being disrespected at the ‘95 Source Awards, and struggling to prove to everyone that the South had always had “somethin’ to say,” Aquemini was birthed.
