THE MAKING OF OUTKAST’S AQUEMINI

Outkast’s Aquemini album was a true classic. You could put it on and let the entire thing play without a hitch. This CL Atlanta story has each participant in the project weigh in and reflect on the creative process. The behind-the-scenes perspective is ill. It’s like taking the liner notes and digging deeper. Enjoy the article–it’s a lengthy but great read:

Man, first they were some pimps. Then they were some aliens or some genies – some shit. Then they be talkin’ ’bout that black righteous space. Man, fuck them. I ain’t fuckin’ with them no mo’.
– – “Return of the G’ skit, Aquemini

By the time Aquemini was due to drop in the fall of 1998, no one knew what to expect from the-soon-to-be-iconic OutKast.

It’s Been A Long Time…

My bad for the lack of updates. I’ve been pretty busy with midterms and schitt. Anyways, not alot has been popping off besides regular sh!t, school and what not. I’ve been in a kinda somber mood lately, mostly because of the dropping temperatures here in Chicago alongside some deaths in the close family and a tad bit of stress. Nothing I dont feel like i can handle though. I always get down this time of year. I’ll get it poppin though, believe that! On the flipside, my cousin put me onto a TV show (I know, I promised myself i would never get caught up in a TV show like the rest of these lames, but here I am, blogging about a f*cking syndicated TV show). The show is called Heroes and it comes on on mondays on NBC. Since I usually don’t have the time to watch tv on mondays because of our events at Funky Buddha, I download the episodes and burn them to a disc. The show is CRAZY though, it reminds me of when I was ten and used to wake up early saturday morning to watch X-Men on Fox. That was always my sh!t. Heroes is like a grown up version, more descriptive about alotta “what-ifs” in society, kinda resembling how The Matrix was so successful (graphics wasn’t the main reason people saw it, they saw it cause they wondered how crazy the world works. how do you think religions spread so quickly? same sh!t.) anyways, the show is dope and I recommend it to anyone who wants to catch something pretty interesting (no STDs). Holla at me if you know me like that, I’ll throw you the discs with the previous episodes. It’s only on Episode 4 as of right now, so people can still jump onto the bandwagon and be pretty well-versed. $tunt!
