#49 OutKast, 'Aquemini' (1998)

The album that started it all for me… on this journey, I mean. The very first record that I listened to when I started the original Rolling Stone 500 Albums challenge 8 years ago. I’m going to boldly say that this record will be the biggest jump. From last on the list to Top 50, that’s a pretty major feat. So is it deserving? Well, I enjoyed it more that ‘Stankonia,’ and ‘Speakerboxxx/The Love Below’ was always my favourite OutKast album. But it’s unfair to compare them as they’re completely different records.
