Happy Thanksgiving, y'all! I'll be offline most of this weekend, so be safe, and I'll see ya soon!
The videos says it's still processing but 'playable,' so if you encounter issues, check back a little later. Processing should finish soon.

I agree. Weirdly so for a song front 1998...

2022-12-13 05:52:45 +0000 UTCMan, what a fun watch! Even though I didn't care for the whole album, I enjoyed watching the whole video. I think I'm in a similar place with just not liking some of the tracks but thinking others are amazing. I really love your in-depth look at lyrics, Bob.

2022-12-03 16:11:09 +0000 UTCGreat Reaction Bob, i agree on some of the 'filler' too. Even though there are tracks with redeemable qualities, those few tracks really serve no purpose for me personally, and all I can say is that I skip them when I listen to the album.
Josh
2022-12-01 15:48:29 +0000 UTCthe only track that could even be remotely argued as filler or bloating content is Mamacita the rest of this album is pure perfection, youre tripping

2022-11-26 01:24:55 +0000 UTCSame. I’d say that Aquemini has the highest highs of any album in their discography, but I think Southernplayalistic is their most consistent, cohesive album. I’m guessing you’re also a Big KRIT fan based off this comment.

2022-11-25 02:18:45 +0000 UTCWhen Bob reacted to ATLiens, people kept saying "Aquemini is the one!" and now that he's feeling so-so on Aquemini, they say "Stankonia is the one!" I think some of you may just need to come to terms with the fact that your favorite reactor isn't as heavily into Kast as you'd hoped. I totally agree with Bob's take on Aquemini, by the way. This album is bloated and very, very uneven. Half of the tracks are skippable, the other half are excellent. Oh, and just to settle the debate once and for all: ATLiens is the one. ;)

2022-11-24 23:01:11 +0000 UTCyes! i absolutely agree with you.

2022-11-24 15:45:21 +0000 UTCStankonia is the one, imo. When I listen to ATLiens and Aquemini, I hear really great rapping, but that doesn't do it for me on its own.

2022-11-24 12:25:00 +0000 UTCSouthernPlayalistic is my personal fav OutKast album but I’m from the South and that is prob the most similar to the 90’s stuff I listen to the most like Three Six Mafia,Project Pat,UGK,& MC Mack etc

2022-11-24 06:01:30 +0000 UTCAyy...my favorite Outkast album! I'm about 20 mins in, just thought I'd point out the favorite group that Andre was referring to in "Rosa Parks" was A Tribe Called Quest...they were on the verge of breaking up at the time (mainly due to infighting between Q-Tip and Phife) and eventually broke up weeks before their album "The Love Movement" came out (it was released on the same day as Aquemini).

2022-11-24 05:56:26 +0000 UTCI’m not the biggest OutKast fan. They definitely have great songs in their catalog, but mediocre albums in my opinion. I would love to see you check out Erykah Badu. Her first 2 albums ‘Baduizm’ and ‘Mamas Gun’ are phenomenal!
Brandon Williams
2022-11-24 04:16:40 +0000 UTCMamacita is not good and has no business being on this album. I feel like the vast majority of people are in agreement on that. But I’d be a little surprised if the rest of the stuff you were iffy on doesn’t grow on you with more listens. Also, you’re going to love UGK’s Ridin’ Dirty, which was referenced in Nathaniel. When you describe the southern production that you love so much, it’s like you are describing the very sound that Pimp C pioneered.

2022-11-24 03:32:16 +0000 UTCecho and toms on liberation remind me of dark side of the moon. time, specifically. interested to hear your thoughts after you've lived with this album a bit.
Psykopomp
2022-11-24 01:43:56 +0000 UTCi say that and i still dont really think mamacita, yall scared, nathaniel, and liberation are great. but overall its a great album. and return of the g, rosa parks, aquemini, and daos pt 1 and 2 are all absolute masterpieces

2022-11-24 00:55:05 +0000 UTCBob has blessed us today. I gotta say, Stankonia is my favourite Outkast album, I gotta say their best. Not sure how popular that opinion is. I don't listen to Aquemini much but I'm curious to know what you think about it

2022-11-23 23:03:27 +0000 UTChappy thanksgiving bob. i’m so excited for this reaction. even though i think stankonia is a better album. this is still a top 25 hip hop album

2022-11-23 23:03:22 +0000 UTCLet's goooooo Personally Aquemini is my favourite OutKast album, but it did take some time to fully click (and I will admit that it does have some misses, probably more than all of their other albums). The highs are so damn high tho. A lot of people favour Stankonia on 1st listen tbh. Stankonia is also when they REALLY broke through to the general public and became household names (which then reached astronomical highs when they released Speakerboxxx/The Love Below). I'm sure Erykah Badu is in your list already, but definitely don't sleep on her. She was part of the Soulquarians super group with legends like J Dilla, The Roots, Mos Def, Q-Tip, etc... She was also dating Andre around this time (they have a kid together). My fave album of hers is Mamas Gun.
