A Los Angeles based group that mixes hip-hop, R&B and electro. Composed of will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo, and Fergie. Kim Hill left the band in 2000 and was replaced by Fergie in 2003.
They've sold 20 million albums and 13 million singles so they can't be as shit as people say.
Songs are catchy, but some get annoying after repeated listening, ex. My Humps. Some songs are actually good and have a good point, such as Where Is The Love?
They released two albums,
Behind the Front (1998)
and
Bridging the Gap (2000), with Kim Hill, before breakout album Elephunk (2003) with Fergie, followed by
Monkey Business in 2005 and The E.N.D (Energy Never Dies) in 2009.
Name is often shortened to "The Peas."
Tom:
Do you like the Black Eyed Peas?
Bob: Yeah, I like their song "I Gotta Feeling" but "My Humps" is the most annoying song ever.
Tom: Yeah, I know. It gets on my nerves.
Where Is The Love is considered an anthem against the
War on Terror and the 2003 invasion of Iraq since it was released shortly
after the invasion began.
