Black Eyed Peas
We talk about the band Black Eyed Peas.
The beginning of the Black Eyed Peas:
This hip-hop group debuted in 1992 and has made three albums since then. The founder members were Will.i.am , Apl de ap and bandmember taboo.
Fergie met will.i.am at BEP shows around town and was invited to join in on a recording session and was included into the band.
The 2003 album 'Elephunk' topped the charts with the hit 'Where is the Love?'
The four bandmembers are Will.i.am, Apl de ap, Taboo and Fergie
Fergie:
Her realname is Stacey Ferguson and she was born on 6th of April 1978 and now she lives in Los Angeles. Stacey is a bandmember since 2001, and before that time she sings at the band Wild Orchid.
His realname is Will Adams and his birthday is unknown. He is a founder member of the band. Will is living in Los Angeles.
Taboo:
His realname is Joshua Gomez and his birthday is unknown. He is a bandmember since 1992, he comes from Chevany American Indian tribe and now he is living in Los Angeles, too.
Apl de ap:
His realname is Allen Pineda and his birthday is unknown. He is a founder member of the band and he is living in Los Angeles, too.
The first album "behind the front" appeared 1992 , where "Hip Hop" was to be heard.
The second album "bridging the gap" appeared 1998, where "Hip Hop" was to be heard, too.
The newest album Elephunk
The Black Eyed Peas will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo and newcomer Fergie named the album Elephunk to conjure up a big, deep funk sound. Some of those new directions on Elephunk include songs like 'Anxiety,' which matches The Black Eyed Peas with popular platinum rock band Papa Roach, whom they met and bonded with on tour.
"Black Eyed Peas":
On New Year's Day in the South there's a tradition of black-eyed peas being made into Hoppin' John which has the reputation of bringing good luck. Black-eyed peas cooked with onion, garlic and tomato sauce make a delicious dish.
Analysis:
In the song it is a matter of there being terrorists in the USA and feeling only drawn to the bad one. They ask God for help against violence, hate and power. Children, youth and adults must die in worst way. And that all ends in the question: 'Where is the Love'?'
This song is rightfully referred to as a 'state-of-the-world ballad' and became a universal success this past summer.
