black eyed peas

..are fantastically horrible!
like 99% of what they do is thoroughly cliche, that rapper
looks like wycliff from the fugees and the female is like
anastaticia
hence it's good top40 music
:)

Sometimes it needs to be addressed.

They are shit.

ive waited like a year for a black eyed peas topic
also im happy with my interesting opinion

i think 10 to 20 % of the top40 music is good in some way or
another

that tall guy with long hair and sunglasses looks scarier
than love inc.'s dj. He could have played that anorexic
aphex in come to daddy!

I don't like them at all, but after a few drinks at a club,
that 'nononono don't funk with my heart~' gets really
catchy..

That's an interesting thought.. Let's talk about that
instead.

What top40 music do you find good? What elements of it are
good? Is it in any way interesting?

I'm not going to lambaste you for your own opinion, i'm just
slightly shocked and intruiged by what you wrote.

coldplay is kinda good and liked here. lots of new artists
that turn shit have had an original hit imo, like eminem

what's interesting about 'dont funk with my heart' is that,
like other songs of theirs, it consists just of catchy
phrases, uttered over and over again

'dont fuck with my heart' is really crap and so was the Love
one and Shut Up.

I have to admit that 'Hey Mama' did make me get up dance in
a few nightclubs last year :S

'where is the love' was original imo,
'shut up' consisted of cliche sayings even, like 'if you
dont stop talking baby, you'd best start walking baby' and,
simply, catchy, relateble 'shut up'

yea, that can happen, imo 'Hey Mama' was their worst single
cause it was such a ragga ripoff or whatever, i dont
remember exactly

really? ah well IMO it was the most diverse of their songs
and the verses weren't cringingly bad, neither was the
chorus. Plus it didnt have that much reptition either.

yea maybe but it ripped of a style, so maybe some kids
wrongfully thought they invented a new original style, which
they didnt, with the other crap songs they somehow did
maybe, the-chockful-of-cliches-style

I have tried to move away from being 'one of those people
who only likes 1 kind of music'
My opinion is changing to 'if it sounds good, then why not
enjoy it?'
and many chart tracks can be enjoyed! I hate a lot of them
though. Many of them make me want to rip my own face off.

why should outkast go and die? they still may make something
good after speakerboxx/the love below which was good in its
own way, but definately not a stayer.

and then changing it to "let's get it started" because it'll
offend less Americans (read: Walmart etc.) and therefore
sell more copies.

at least E from eels did something funny with that censoring
crap, re-recording "it's a motherfucker" as "it's a
monstertrucker".




worst thing about BEP is that they get popular with a vapid,
"socially aware", limply engaged song - yeah, these guys
have something to tell the kids of today. now that we've
gotten that out of the way LET'S ONLY DO PARTY
TRACKS!!!!!!!! LOL
