"Be Free"
"Weekend"

What's the name of the really ugly one from BEP again? The one that looks like some unearthed dinosaur bones.

Tanita Tikaram?

Elephunk [A&M, 2003]
In which the unbelievably dull El Lay alt-rappers fabricate the brightest actual pop album of 2003. They remain unbelievable, but in pop that's just one more aesthetic nuance. Titles like "Let's Get Retarded," "Shut Up," and the guitar-driven "Anxiety" are what you'd hope except cleaner--tremendous ups every one. You can bet new member Fergie, a showbiz lifer who also put in a tour as JC Chasez's girlfriend, lured her pal Justin down for "Where Is the Love," an actual hit that actually called out "the CIA." Terrorists, the song claims. Rhymes with "The Bloods and the Crips and the KKK." A-

also aren't parts of their songs on this album in Tagalog? since i have a filipino friend who's really into them and sez they get all the pronunciation right,and that it's impressive. they're just a fun band with colorful videos, gosh does everyone here truly hate retarded-ness ? ("fun")

― Vic (Vic), Sunday, 8 August 2004 11:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Um, seeing as one of their members is of Filipino descent, it's not all that shocking that they'd be able to get Tagalog correct.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Sunday, 8 August 2004 11:55 (twenty-one years ago)

okay i didn't know. but its still cool nah ?

― Vic (Vic), Sunday, 8 August 2004 11:57 (twenty-one years ago)

i mean, yes, that where is the love song was unforgivable on multiple levels, but i truly thought their silly aesthetic that's so good-natured and almost approaching the point of self-parody, would win some more admirers on ilm. "hey mama" is just such an irresistable - and comparatively unconventional - radio blessing, i don't understand how it could be overlooked, especially on here. also i don't think BEP fans care about things like "embarassment" - that's such a negative vibe man!!

― Vic (Vic), Sunday, 8 August 2004 12:05 (twenty-one years ago)

neither do i as i typoed embarrassment etc

― Vic (Vic), Sunday, 8 August 2004 12:06 (twenty-one years ago)

It's by BEP = ILM automatically hates it because it's a pop song that isn't by:

A) A British man
B) A woman under 24

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Sunday, 8 August 2004 12:08 (twenty-one years ago)

okay so i just heard it again post-download, and must admit it's more enjoyable when one's drunk, and that i like Fergie's "la-la-la-la" part the best is a tiny part of the song, but it's still not anything as abominable as some would make it sound here. and the macy gray one was fine too.

― Vic (Vic), Sunday, 8 August 2004 12:13 (twenty-one years ago)

That's not true Dan - "Where Is The Love" was a ILX hivemind hit!

I enjoy their new style but "Weekend" might be their peak - at any rate it's the great unifier in that *everybody* rushes to the floor for it. It's sort of the inverse/equivalent of Under Construction in that sense.

The last paragraph of Sterling's review is embarrassing.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:16 (twenty-one years ago)

two reviews in the new Voice bring up girlfriends in the first sentence.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I suppose it is kind of news to readers that we occasionally have them.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:19 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah its an old review.

but hey.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:21 (twenty-one years ago)

now playing: "shut up". I still like that track a whole bunch. i mean this whole album -- "smells like funk" and "labor day, its a holiday", and "sexy" and gotdamn.

i don't understand why people don't like them. are they not "ghetto" enough for corny indie fuxx?

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:23 (twenty-one years ago)

haha sterling in pazz'n'jop I equated Fever To Tell with a new girlfriend in one quote and Liz Phair with an ex in the other.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:30 (twenty-one years ago)

They're too corny for ghetto indie fuxx actually.

x-post

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:30 (twenty-one years ago)

for serious -- "isn't hip-hop supposed to be HARD?"!!! Its "supposed tto be" whatever the fuck it wants, punk. And if it wants to be about love and dancing and sill drawled lines about weekends and strange electro samples, then its supposed to be about that too!

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I was gonna say, ask Whodini!

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:36 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm all for more sap in our lives.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:37 (twenty-one years ago)

also more bouncin bollywood samples!

rock critics be talking about girlfriends

Initially I thought it was meant that Sterling's girlfriend was Bonecrusher. This raised questions.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't stand them, I must say. "Hey Mama" is like dancehall but too clean or something.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

so yeah kenan you want hard music you can identify with? go listen to skrewdriver or something

(/pre-emptive racial agitation)

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah i feel sometimes i'm the only one that like the new album.

― twelve, Sunday, 8 August 2004 19:06 (twenty-one years ago)

OH YEAH like St.Nick@Catucci say one time so gratified that Cheed &Cambria video so gay-content, like it's refrechingly dif among all those machette mungster mookboys in most video and tv, and he's right (on!) and there at the beginning of his very next piece he quotes his *girlfriend* 's friend or whas it previous piece.It's all good though.I'm happy for him anyway you do. IM COMING RIKWANDO JUST GET THE DAMN CAR STARTED. I gotta finish this first. Hic! Oh yeah, Black Eyed Peas! That girl's abs are too good, I JUS HATE HER. That's high praise comin from me. HEY

― BigFatDrunkChickWithABoomBox, Sunday, 8 August 2004 19:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Band members lit candles during the recording session but forgot to blow them out

What do you expect from a group calling their next record "Monkey Business", anyhow?

Has it been established that they have fucking horrible song titles?

"I Gotta Feeling" specifically is fucked since it literally means "I Have To Feeling."

― billstevejim, Thursday, 4 February 2010 08:22 (sixteen years ago)

you wouldn't mind if they were swedish

― figuratively, but in a very real way (amateurist), Thursday, 4 February 2010 08:51 (sixteen years ago)

I've griped about the title of "I Gotta Feeling" before

― The Reverend, Thursday, 4 February 2010 09:19 (sixteen years ago)

circa the dutchess, when will.i.am was doing some really great production work and fergie was proving herself to be a surprisingly excellent pop star, i came round to the idea that BEPs were actually a pretty good thing, and now they just annoy me for not being better.

Had no idea she was the girl from Kids Incorporated.

― kingkongvsgodzilla, Thursday, 4 February 2010 13:50 (sixteen years ago)

the only UK top 40 hit to use Gotta as Got A prior to BEP was Ice-T's 'Gotta Lotta Love' in 1994.

the more you know

I see it as a subtle tribute to Slade.
