Sometimes it is weird when a ’successful band’ has ‘a cool new song’ that I think sounds stupid/forced, but it is sort of like ‘a club banger’/marketed as some sort of energetic fun song.
I think that this ‘music video’ might actually be some sort of Hewlett Packard computer commercial. I feel like consumers need to stop honoring the hiphop ‘onomatopoeia’ gimmick. Tired of ‘hooks’/'choruses’ being some sort of onomatopoeia gimmick. I feel like it is ‘lazy’ and ’stupid.’
The Black Eyed Peas seem pretty weird 2 me. I don’t think that they would be ‘quite as marketbable’ if they were all black. I think the addition of a white female to their band was ‘critical.’ Not sure if White America really wants a band with 2 scary black dudes + 1 albino guy. Feel like they need a ‘wigger’ type of character in their band who is representative of ‘who they might want to be.’
I think the ‘Black Eyed Peas’ might be some sort of metaphor.
I wonder if the Black Eyed Peas would have ‘happened’ if the Fugees stayed 2gether. Wonder if Will.I.Am is the modern/’sold out’ version of Wyclef Jean. I feel like Will.I.Am is ‘trying too hard’ to be Marvin Gaye, and write/represent some sort of
Not even sure if we will have ‘bands’ in 2k10. Every1 might be a hologram.
Feel sad when modern stars try to ‘recreate’ the aesthetic+honesty of Marvin Gaye’s “Whats Goin On” and it ends up being some ‘crappy duet’ somehow involving Sheryl Crow/Will.I.Am/Eric Clapton/John Cougar Mellbrocamp/a rap verse that ‘doesn’t fit.’
‘where is the love, yall?’ – Black Eyed Peas
Sort of just want to be ‘a stupid mainstreamer’ who gets pumped up when I heard a song like Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” or the song “Let’s Get it Started.”
Lets Get It Started – The Black Eyed Peas
I want to be a white person
who ‘gets jacked up’
whenever a black person in ‘cool clothes’
comes out, waves their arms
rhymes into a mic
and tells the crowd to ‘get on their feet.’
I will go home
buy this popular song on iTunes
listen to it when I ’start my workout’
to ‘get fucking pumped up’
then choose a slow song 4 my ‘cool down’
What kind of music do yall listen 2 now that bloghaus/electro is dead

feel kinda ‘out of touch’ [via Hall & Oates]
still listening to ‘lectro, haven’t grown out of it yet.
Mr. Oiseau is still producing decent stuff, even if the rest of Ed. Banger ‘doesn’t really give a shit’.
Hope the second coming of electro is in 2k9.5.
Might bring back the glory days myself by remixing the JonasBros/MileyCyrus/FloRida/Tracy Jordan [via Werewolf Bar Mitzvah]

I like Furgey and I think her humps bring all the boys to the yard but sometimes I wonder if whether or not fish sandwiches from McDonalds = Black Eye Peas or if country vegetables concerning meatloaf have left us forever and whether slavery will return so I can become a supreme white boy again and make love to a nocturnal philistine.

why is “swagga” the new hype word in mainstream rap/hip-hop?
i think MIA popularized it, at which point the hip-hop community rushed to dictionary.com and realized that it was a “usable” word in reference to themselves.
now everyone uses it, including old spice which is endorsed by ll cool j.
god damn.

@melle mel, no it’s not. it’s racist if you hate someone for their race, and brand them with nasty words because of it.
wigger is branding someone because of their actions. they choose to be ghetto.

1)The video IS an HP commercial.
2)I find the lyrics “Im so 2008, you’re so 2000 late” to be very ironically funny, seeing as it’s now 2009. bad choice of writing there.
3)I really need some water.
4)I’m so 2009. Fergie is so 2000 behind
5)rofl
