They seem to be putting out hit after hit..... I'm really digging their stuff off their latest album..... First there was "Boom Boom Pow", then "I Gotta Feeling", and now "Meet Me Halfway".....
hahahahah that made my night.. but seriously.. black eyed peas? really? let me guess, is lil wayne the best rapper alive?
Let me guess, you have like some underground local musician to be cool. WTF ever. Music snobs are tools. If I an dance to it, chill to it, or have sex to eat. It's all good.
Just because someone doesn't like the Black-Eyed Peas doesn't mean they are a smarmy millennial hipster that writes 2000 word reviews for Pitchfork Media.
BEP= the music industry The calculated design of several consultants to produce a common denominator, mass appeal product, sexy packaging, relentless promotion They are The Monkees of the new Mellinium.
I would donate an entire green square to you if I could. I would also like to add one more line to your summary, if I could.... extremely low levels of talent.
Actually most of the cool kids DO like mainstream top 40 garbage like BEP. You can listen to it all you want. I just don't understand how people with minimal talent get so popular while real musicians that are making real heart felt music are left by music labels because they may not appeal to the ignorant masses who haven't heard much better. And just for the record I used to listen to top 40 crap a few years ago.
Uh, anyone getting 4 of their newest CD's songs more play on 104 and 95.7 (targetting teenagers and 18-24 age group) right now? I don't think so. Their songs aren't exactly bad, but every time someone plays those stations, it has one of their songs. You dog, you! You need both hands? That's what she said.
