What happened to the Black Eyed Peas
It’s really hard to believe I used to like the Black Eyed Peas. I would recommend them to friends and bought at least two of their albums, but that was before they sold out. I first got turned onto them after Smokin’ with Superman played a show in Chicago and someone in the crowd told me that we reminded him of the Black Eyed Peas. I ended up going out and buying their album, “Bridging the Gap”. Loved it! I nice crossover album that mixed hip hop, funk, jazz, and other genres.
I liked this album, but the irony of this song today is hilarious….
I liked enough that I bought their new album, Elephunk, a few years later. I enjoyed it, and I was kind of digging on their new female singer, but they were starting to scare me with some of the radio friendly songs; like Hey Mama and Let’s Get Retarded, which ended up being renamed so they could sell the crap out of it.
I actually liked this song…
I still liked them since I couldn’t blame them for making radio friendly songs, yet, for the most part, stuck to their roots. They would play shows with an actual band, and from what I’ve heard, put on a good show.
Their next album, “Monkey Business”, was total garbage. I thankfully hadn’t bought the album yet when I friend of mine warned me not to buy it. He told me to check out the song, “My Humps“, which happens to be one of the worst songs ever created. First, Fergie should never ever rap. I was embarrassed for her and the rest of the band. Second, their genre just went from a crossover hip hop band to dance music you’d hear in a dirty small town dance club. It was official, the Black Eyed Peas had officially sold out to the record industry. I’m guessing they liked the money they made from Elephunk, and were willing to do anything to make more.
Total suck….
Over the next few years, their suckdom continued to grow, which included a horrific solo effort by Fergie. I just found out they played on American Idol, and they stunk it up pretty good. They keep saying, “I wanna rock right now”, but they don’t do anything but suck.
I wanna suck right now…
Who keeps buying their crappy auto-tuned albums? You need to stop!
