Black Eyed Peas

I don't understand the hate for the Black Eyed Peas on this thread. IMO they put out more good music consistently than any other hip hop act nowadays. I guess some people might not like them strictly because they don't tackle tough subject matter, and mostly churn out light-hearted stuff.

I liked a song or two from Elephunk, then I loved most of Monkey Business, and The E.N.D....I don't like most of it.

I wouldn't even call them hip-hop nowadays.

Not so much...a little bit, but the Peas' new album really didn't do much for me.

From what I remember, BEP were not all that bad til they got Fergy.

"Let's Get it Started" is a guilty pleasure of mine though. One case where I like an edited version of a song more than an unedited.

Their first two albums were amazing, Elephunk was still really good, Monkey Business had good songs (Like That, Audio Delite), and after that they turned into a electronic/pop thing.
