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.
