OutKast's Rosa Parks Single Anniversary
"Rosa Parks" is a song by the hip hop group Outkast. It was released as the second single from their album Aquemini, and was that album's most successful single. Since the name of the song is in reference to the Civil Rights Movement activist Rosa Parks and due to the vulgar language in this track, Rosa Parks sued OutKast and LaFace Records over the song. After the lawsuit being dismissed for years, it was finally settled in 2005. Read more about OutKast and their careers here.

OutKast's Aquemini Album Anniversary
In keeping with the New-Age vibe, Benjamin and Patton formed their own boutique label, which they named "Aquemini." The word was made up from a combination of their respective astrological signs, Gemini and Aquarius. They also used it for the title of their third LP. Aquemini reached the double-platinum sales mark.
