The Black Eyed Peas (also known as Black Eyed Peas or BEP) are a Los Angeles-based hip-hop/dance-pop group, initially composed of members will.i.am, Taboo, and apl.de.ap. Formed in 1995, they began as a less violent, socially conscious alternative to the gangsta rap acts of the time, though they were ironically signed by Eazy-E of N.W.A fame. Two albums were released in 1998 and 2000 to critical acclaim and modest sales.In 2002, they were joined by a fourth member, Fergie,note Not to be confused with the wife of Prince Andrew formerly of the girl group Wild Orchid. By the release of their next two albums, Elephunk and Monkey Business, in the mid-2000s, the group had changed entirely, moving towards a pop sound with much simpler lyrical content intended to appeal to a wider audience. Their new style earned them numerous #1 hit singles and multi-platinum sales, to the point where some people didn't know they did anything pre-Elephunk.The group took a hiatus from 2012 to 2014 before resuming work in 2015. In 2018, Fergie departed the group, reportedly to focus on her personal life and solo career. In the same year, The Voice Philippines finalist Jessica Reynoso started touring with the group, adopting the stage name J Rey Soul. Their output since has included throwbacks to the group's original hip-hop sound and ventures into different styles of popular Latin music.Fergie, will.i.am, and Taboo have branched out into acting careers, and Taboo has also written comics. Meanwhile, apl.de.ap works to alleviate poverty in the Philippines through a foundation made in his name. will.i.am and apl.de.ap are also coaches on different national versions of The Voice. | |

Off-the-Shelf FX: In the music video for "Rock That Body", the "stereo guns" the band members use are Nerf blasters that have been painted dark gray and modified to superficially resemble loudspeakers and subwoofers. The blasters are as follows: An unloaded Longshot CS-6. Used by will.i.am. The barrel attachment that's boxed alongside the aforementioned Longshot. Used by Fergi. The Maverick REV-6. Dual-wielded by apl.de.ap. The Firefly REV-8. Used by Taboo. | |

Genre Shift | |
| The Black Eyed Peas (Music) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: Compare "BEP Empire", released in 2000, to "My Humps", released in 2005. You'd be forgiven if you thought they were from two different projects. See also: "Beautiful Dangerous," Fergie's collaboration with Slash of Guns N' Roses fame. Translation is a Latin pop album before a rap one, which is quite different from the album before it, which took them back to their 90's sound and featured artists like Slick Rick and Nas. | |

Lesser Star | |
| The Black Eyed Peas (Music) / int_1ae12b1d | comment |
Lesser Star: Taboo and apl.de.ap, at least now - in their pre-Fergie days, they did just as much as will.i.am. Mostly Taboo, both have been reduced to a rap part in the songs (his ostensibly small role is spoofed by The Key of Awesome), but Apl has more of them, and has even made a couple songs that feature only him with will doing the music. Todd in the Shadows tagged them as "Andrew Ridgeley" and "Pras" in his review of "Imma Be". | |

Multilingual Song: The group has a few. "The Apl Song", whose Tagalog-language chorus is borrowed from the 1979 song "Balita" ("News") by folk rock band Asin ("Salt").note Rough translation: "Come closer, friends, and listen. I bring news from my homeland. I wish to share the stories and events happening in the promised land.". Translation is all about this, featuring a more Latin sound and guest stars. | |

Self-Empowerment Anthem | |

Take That! | |
| The Black Eyed Peas (Music) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: A possibly unintentional example in the beginning of the music video for Imma Be, where the group has an argument about computerized "AI" music, which acts by inputting one's voice and the lyrics, and the process taking all the soul out of the music. Sounds pretty familiar, huh? The music video for "Street Livin'" ends with a shot of Donald Trump in the presidential limo as a riot ensues outside. | |

Precision F-Strike | |
| The Black Eyed Peas (Music) / int_bc00493f | comment |
"Don't Phunk With My Heart" was censored as "Don't Mess With My Heart", largely due to radio stations concerned about the word "phunk" sounding too close to a Precision F-Strike, though most radio stations especially those outside the States did play the song unaltered. Interestingly enough, the Russian metalcore band Amatory covered the song as "Don't Fuck With My Heart". | |

Irony: The song the page quote belongs to? It was released in March 2009. Who's two-thousand-and-late again? Also, the alleged reason for Kim Hill's departure from the BEP (and subsequently from the record label) was because of her music not being 'black' enough. She was replaced in the group, of course, by Fergie...who is white. | |

Unusual Euphemism | |
| The Black Eyed Peas (Music) / int_d848560f | comment |
Unusual Euphemism: "Let's Get Retarded," the lesser-known original version of what would become "Let's Get It Started." To "get retarded" is another term for getting drunk and having careless fun (basically what the expression "get turned up" became), hence the other lyrics "Let's get ig'nant, let's get hectic" and "Get into it, get stupid." It's safe to assume why the band isn't too bothered by this version being forgotten. | |
