This is a record of the ups and the downs; the struggles and the achievements; the laughter and the frustration and what it takes to break into The Industry...the radio industry that is.
Premiere: The Black Eyed Peas - Dirty Bit
Yup… The BEP did it. They took one of the title tracks to Dirty Dancing and made it “better”? I don’t know how I feel about the song, but there is one thing I am sure about. These guys are not really a four member band (Will.I.AM, Fergie, Apl.de.Ap and Taboo)… nope it’s a two person show. Just Will and Fergie and just to please the other band members they get to sing back up with a couple “Heys” and tiny versus that are overshadowed by the beat. The worst part, they are barely singing yet they are getting a bazillion dollars how does that work?
I won’t lie, I’m a little jealous. What I wouldn’t give to be Taboo. The fame (but only if he is with the rest of the band), the money (albeit not nearly as much as Mr. I.Am and Fergie and the 20 seconds worth of face time on any video without having to really do much. That’s my kind of celebrity status.
The new Black Eyed Peas album ” The Beginning” drops on my birthday (Nov. 30th) and the album cover is them as pixel dolls… apparently Fergie is too good for real photo’s. What are your thoughts on The BEP and their new album?
