"Confederate loyalists probably had something different in mind when they said, “The South shall rise again.” But their prophecy seems to have been fulfilled in the form of Master P, Goodie Mob and OutKast, three Southern rap acts whose appeal extends well beyond their region. Representing Atlanta to the fullest, OutKast prove that you don’t have to sell out to sell records. Their first two albums, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik (1994) and AT Liens (1996), were funky, daring forays into musical hip-hop. Aquemini, their third offering, follows in the same creative flow but brings us back to their down-home roots."
