Aquemini is the third studio album by American hip hop duo Outkast, released on September 29, 1998 through LaFace Records. The title is a portmanteau of the two performers' Zodiac signs: Aquarius (Big Boi) and Gemini (André 3000).
The album was certified platinum in November 1998, only two months after its release, and was certified double platinum on July 2, 1999 by the Recording Industry Association of America. Aquemini peaked at #2 on both the Billboard 200 and the Top R&B/Hip-Hop charts. Four of the album's tracks had already or would later become singles, although some were limited (promotional) releases and not available commercially. It was ranked as number 500 in the book version of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

I was a dj at my college radio station when this album came out. We spent the whole day just playing this album front to back on the station. I also remember us taking turns getting out D.J. Clue on in the live remote we did in the cafe lol! This album is a close second to Atliens when it comes to Kast's discography.

I don't think there's any two album combination than Atliens and Aquemini from a group. Tribe had Low End and Midnight Marauders, but I still believe Kast trumps all with those two albums. Both classics period.
