10 yrs.....and still 1 of the BEST

I just thought to myself, whenever Aquemini was released, I'll do an anniversary blog about it. And what do you know...I looked it up and Aquemini was released September 29th, 1998, marking this past Monday as its 1o year anniversary! POP CHAMPAGNE! To this day (even though I doubt I had the album on release day, so from the day I first heard it to this day sounds more appropriate) I still listen to Aquemini like its a current album. It's still seems so relevant and its just all around GOOD music. Good beats, lyrics, guest appearances....pretty much everything! Which is probably why this is one of the few albums that has received the very much sought after "5 mic" rating from the Source magazine. "Folk in ya face you're a supastar, niggaz hang around cuz of who ya are" from LIBERATION rings in my head over and over anytime I think about Aquemini as well as those beginning drums and horns of SPOTTIEOTTIEDOPALISCIOUS, I could go on and on. If you are reading this and you don't own this album....better your LIFESTYLE and go get it, HELP ME HELP YOU! This is one of the best hip-hop albums ever and I'm just going to end by saying "Now who else wanna Fuck wit' Hollywood Cole?"
