Will i am says it hurts that Black Eyed Peas are not considered a Black group...

[Dilltastic VolWon(derful)]

Shouldn't have given Fergie a platform.

At the time and in that era of music, it was the right choice. She sold well and had a few billboard hits. Today though, she wouldn’t be able to crack billboards 100 with that material.

It should hurt Will that he left his rap roots alone when BEP crossed over to the Pop audience, who aren't hip hop fans to begin with.

 

[get these nets]

Will is a clown . He's copping pleas and LYING about chart success being what keeps the BEP from being cobsidered a Black group to a guy whose group had more international chart success than him.

You cant really say that becuase as a producer he still made hiphop music.

as the frontman of his group, then sure.

[Elim Garak]

They used to be a black group, until they wanted a taste of the white man's "ice". They did Kim Hill dirty

Tbh she wouldn't have been able to bring that sound fergie did. None of those songs would have been hits.

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

BEP has always been Pop.

[Pressure]

Fergie became the face of the group because of her solo album....which he exec produced lmao

Idk why he's confused now

I think he's jaded because he did most of the work, but no one considers BEP black group

“The tug of war was about my sexuality and how much of that I was willing to like, literally strip down,” she continues. “I never wanted to be objectified while doing my music. ‘Where’s your voice? Where are you?’”When it came to the Black Eyed Peas’ voice, Hill and the other members had conflicting opinions on how they should evolve. She believed it was the group’s “duty to progress [hip-hop],” she says, adding that its uniqueness was being “happy at a time in hip-hop where it really wasn’t okay to just be happy.”

She resented that outside voices wanted to stamp out their edginess, but at the same time, she understood her bandmates’ didn’t have her privilege to refuse the demands of a burgeoning career.“The pressure started coming to, like, soften it up and make it super-commercial. was like, ‘We’re not really going to do that, are we?’” Hill recalls. “And the guys were like, ‘You don’t have to go back to East L.A. if this doesn’t work out.’”

What's wrong with going back to live in East LA?? They weren't even popping yet but they felt they were to good for el barrio

and they're not considered a black group either even though the group is Berry Gordy's son and grandson

 

[Ahadi]

I thought they replaced Fergie with a black woman / or Dominican woman
