Can't tell me no different. Them ? managed to make a perfect album with balance, it had something for everybody (club bangers, street ? , conscious ? , politic raps,etc). The live instruments on that ? make that ? even more dope.
Andre 3000 verse on Aquemini, both of them are just pure genius. That ? is like fresh water on a hot day.

GOAT album imo. It took me a while to come to this decision with ? like Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, Paid in Full,etc out there but none of those albums are as complete like Aquemini imo.

Nah.. Good album though.

I came into this thread thinking you were gonna say DMX's first (official) album and his verse on "? done started somethin"
-
Agreed.
-
This album is a top 5 hip hop album of all time in my opinion. The definition of classic. Timeless.. This was apex of Outkast
-
I concur

ATLiens >>>> Aquemini

Illmatic still the GOAT to me but Ive always had Aquemini in my top 3 all time albums right alongside illmatic, so I have no problem with this opinion

in b4 tompetrez3 finds a way to diss jay in a usmarine thread not about jay-z
-
not what i expected
-
I thought this thread was gonna be about capital punishment.
-
I love this album but I do have a hard time putting it over Illmatic

Or one of the DMX albums......

1998 is the GOAT year in life
-
It ain't even their best album
-
U can call me a stan or whatever but Ive never heard an album from any genre better than this. Granted I am a Hip Hop head to the bone.

TS said best album of 98 ,not alltime. Theyre both top 5 hiphop albums of alltime imo

I've never been much of an Oukast fan. Its something about the way they rap, they don't sound serious. They sound like they're joking around. It's their accents. I'm as East Coast as you can get. Only 3 places I've lived is Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey so Southern accents sound funny to me.
But Outkast has a few songs I like. I bought their greatest hits album a few years ago. Its cool. -
"Im as East Coast as you can get. Only 3 places Ive lived is Mass, NY and NJ"
? you're the definition of sheltered. -
No diss but dismissing rappers for their accent only sounds ignorant as hell to me
-
I'll agree that the greatest verse in Hip-Hop history was dropped in '98, Mos Def dropped it though.

Masterpiece...
