The Black Eyed Peas

After a four-year brak, the Black Eyed Peas release The E.N.D. album in 2009. This certainly has nothing to do with an "end" for the band. They are now towring across Europe with their The E.N.D. World Tour 2010 and will bé in Barcelona on 3rd July.

Have you heard of the hip hop group the Black Eyed Peas? This American group's members are Will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo and Fergie. Taboo, will.i.am, and aple.de.ap have been together* since 1995. Fergie joined* them in 2002.

STYLE AND SOCIETY

They play a nixture of hip hop, rap, pop an electro. But they are different grom other hip hop groups. They don't do "gangsta rap", they don't sing about guns or violence and they are not fans of bling-bling. They songs are often about problems in society.

A GROUP THAT TAKES RISKS

The "peas" are all great reppers and fantastic danders, but Fergie is the " star" of the show. It was after she joined the group that they had their first major hit, the single" Where Is the Love?" from the 2003 album Elephunk. Taboo says: " we took a risk and tha'ts what Black Eyed Peas have always done. We took a risk by veing a hip hop group taht was multi-cultural. We're best friends, but the fact that we have a Filipino, a Mexican kid and a black kid in the group was risk. We took a risk by putting* Fergie in the group".

The E.N.D. isn't the end!

Their latest* Album , The E.N.D., is Peas most commercial album. It is a party album about love, youth* and having a good time. It has great beats and lots on energy. When you watch the videos for the singles" Boom Boom Pow" or " I Gotta Feeling", you want to dance like the Peas"

The E.N.D. means " The Energy Never Dies". And theE.N.D. world tour 2010 that the group are doing aaround North America, Canada and now Europe, Proves that the band still has pleny of energy.
