So, is it me? Or are the Black Eyed Peas really embarassing?

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.

rock critics be talking about girlfriends

CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:16 (nineteen years ago) link

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

CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:19 (nineteen years ago) link

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

CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:19 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah its an old review.

but hey.

Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:21 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

They're too corny for ghetto indie fuxx actually.

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 (nineteen years ago) link

I was gonna say, ask Whodini!

CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:36 (nineteen years ago) link

i'm all for more sap in our lives.

Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:37 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

twelve, Sunday, 8 August 2004 19:06 (nineteen years ago) link

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

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?

Oh man, that advertisement is sooooo irritating.

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."

you wouldn't mind if they were swedish

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

The Reverend, Thursday, 4 February 2010 09:19 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 4 February 2010 09:24 (fourteen years ago) link

Had no idea she was the girl from Kids Incorporated.

kingkongvsgodzilla, Thursday, 4 February 2010 13:50 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

re: BEP - their dancing is so goofy, I bet they could have been cast as characters on Cop Rock.

poor guy, nobody laughed at his obscure TV show joek

Slowzy LOLtidore (Neanderthal), Friday, 17 June 2022 19:31 (one year ago) link

it's funny how this new song sounds like it could have come out in 2011. I don't know if that's refreshing or not, but this really feels like no time has passed between that era of BEP and now.

Slowzy LOLtidore (Neanderthal), Friday, 17 June 2022 19:32 (one year ago) link

also hilarious that will.i.am jacked the most obvious Marley chorus for the hook.
