Black Eyed Peas Thesis

The quartet of the Black Eyed Peas, which are currently apl.de.ap, Fergie, Taboo, and will.i.am, are an inspirational and very musically inclined group that have an amazing way of displaying emotion and feeling in their music. Their unique style used to create music makes people from all over the world from Australia to America enthralled by them. According to their official website, BEP(BlackEyedPeas).com, the seven and a half million albums sold worldwide, the four Grammy nominations, the Grammy award, and the unforgettable performance on the 2005 broadcast on the Awards show that their musical talents are idolized by the public. The group's powerful lyrics and the selection of melodies and tempos during their songs give the Black Eyed Peas' music a very motivating and intense tone. But their road to success was far from being easy. In the 1990s, the guys of the group, apl.de.ap, Taboo, and will.i.am, were first in the band/break dancing crew called Tribal Nation. They focused more on hip-hop then anything else. Then they met Eazy-E who was the owner of Eazy-E'z Ruthless Records, who later on signed them
Since they changed from their hip-hop, break dancing style, they have been classified as an Alternative, an Alternative Rap, a Club/Dance, a Hip-Hop, a Pop, a Pop-Rap, an R&B and a Rock band (Bush n. pag.). This is because of the group's varied music and vocals in every song, which makes it confusing to determine what type of music they are. Most people consider it Pop, some thinks it is Rock. But in my opinion, they are their own genre of music. It is amazing how they can pull this off in this time of Hip-Hop and R&B and be well-known for their diversity in music. But their vocal talents and unique ways of creating music makes them my utmost, favorite band because they express themselves in a different way like no other artist nor artists have
