Black Eyed Peas Pass 2 Million Sales

Monday, March 13, 2006
By: Michael Ivey


Black Eye PeasThe Black Eyed Peas' hit single "My Humps" recently became the first song in the industry to exceed 2 million digital wireless sales in the U.S. "The Black Eyed Peas have harnessed the Master Tones media as an extremely effective method of outreach to their fans," said Steve Berman, president of marketing at Interscope Geffen A&M.

According to Berman the Black Eyed Peas have made a habit of finding unique ways to reach their core audience and now the mainstream as a whole. "Taking advantage of every technological breakthrough is part of what defines today's true innovators," added Berman. "My Humps" comes from the group’s triple platinum album Monkey Business. It has spent thirty nine weeks on the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. The Black Eyed Peas will release Renegotiations: The Remixes on March 28th, featuring production by Erick Sermon, DJ Premier, Large Professor, Jazzy Jeff, and others.

At times they can be trash the song "my humps" is a good example, but at times they make quality trackas like "pump it" which is more hip hop than most modern sh*t oh and d12 make the best crew albums around.

To me, the bep aren't hiphop or rap, they're pop...and sell-outs.

I would like to be a sell out....if that means err'tyme you try to by my cd..its sold out, or when you try to see me preform, i sell out....them boys came along way from being signed to ruthless records...check the history on these cats before yall crush 'em..im with anybody who tries to move hip hop in a positive direction, even if they are just making songs to dance to. I would find it hard to believe them having beef or cats getting killed at their video shoot...i bought their cd and listened just for my on information...and its seems like they are a group we all can learn something from (eventhough you can learn something from a fool) and thats how to laugh, and be child-like without being childish. That makes life so much easier.

Who ever has purchased any of their albums has no taste. Whats up with the chick in the group that pissed on herself while on stage. These guys are just clowns that make the stupidest music.

Fuk what ya'll talking about, the numbers dont lie, everytime something different comes along people tend to sh*t on it,ya'll fools are stuck in route one, and you need to exspand your horizons, and that chick in the group is sexy as hell, you knuckle heads only like when these fake ass rappers talk about shooting, selling drugs, killing, cars, chains etc....you know, sh*t that they dont do, or sh*t they aint got, just because it's different dosent mean it aint good, and like cense said, wu tang clan is the best group ever, along with outkast, and nwa.

But with only one mic i couldnt see it.

The only people that hate on the bep's are the ones who are closed minded, wannabe thug, numb skulls, they aren't sell outs, they're making feel good music. It's music they feel need to be made in a world where music is either negative or just garbage, they makin' music with a positive vibe, somethin' you can play in the car with ya mom's without her sayin' it's bad and your girl can pop her ass to it and the white folk can bang it, arabs, blacks, all these mutha F*ckas in between too. You hate to know how much will.i.am is behind some of your favorite artists music, he's a mean lyricist and producer (think kanye) F*ck off haters and embrace somethin' new for a change, F*ck that jeezy garbage if you wanna hate. He lives off beats, he's dead without em.

I'm not a big black eyed peas fan at all. I like fergie, she can get it. Anyway, the only song i like by black eyed peas is "like that" i think it's called. Talib kweli, john legend, q-tip, and the fat dude with the short arms from goodie mob, c-lo are on.
Posted by NYC4Life
Nah. I can't hate on bep- first off, they been out since '98-'99 and they ain't overnite supastars (it took them years to finally blow up like the roots and three six mafia); second, this current cd is wayyyyy better than that compost called "elephunk" and has good production and callabos to boot (i.e. John legend, q-tip, cee-lo and talib kweli); lastly, though they garnered success once that fergie chick (buttazzugly bydaway), will.i.am has proven that he's got vision and a good hustle going for his music. Yeah, they might be cookie-cutter hip-hop but i bet chu in 20, 30 years, you still will hear their issh on the radio and not hear artists like: d4l, terror squad, dem franchise boyz or da band. I'm not a fan but a man- i give credit to where it ia due, my dude!

Shorty....do i gotta school you again? why do you think most of these rappers got in the game. It was to get away from the drug dealing.
Posted by CEmejuru
Bep has definitely sold out. ..cross over appeal. However, heads were not checkin for them when they were makin real hip hop back in the late 90's either. Kiss-when you chase the money/that's when the money start runnin

I'd rather be a rich ass clown that broke ass petty hustler, n*ggas dont sell drugs cause they like doing it, they sell them becuase they gotta eat, n*ggas is doing time becase of drug dealing, n*ggas is getting merked also, aint no body doing that sh*t for the fun of it, i've also learned that n*ggas that talk like they doing the dam thang, dont be on sh*t, it's real n*ggas out here dying from selling drugs, and doing long ass bids from selling drugs, this aint no F*ck*n game shorty, i dont find that sh*t funny at all.

Posted by Eric young Infinite
Yall know shorty is just talking sh*t, dude keeps me laughing honestly because he is wild, you need somebody in the website like that to keep things going. Black eyed peas to me is alright, but i never went out and bought a cd. I am bugging on "chitownsfinest" though, stating the girl in the group pissed on herself on stage, damn!!! i have to look that up!!n*gga you wild. If the black eyed peas are moving hip hop forward, than i am all for it, but yo they keep the dancing real they are bringing it back to the early ninety's with the dance moves though!!!

Posted by shortybeebop380
Amen. They are a pop group and they are spositive. Everybody feels these cats that speak on genocide all day. I just know i have enough problems keeping it together without listening to kill-a -n music all day. It's good to know a sell out means i give a F*ck about the people around me.

They are not real hip-hop. That fergie girl is wack and probably don't know sh*t about our culture. She just wanna be a star that not hip-hop. Like busta rhymes said if u ain't never been to the ghetto stay the F*ck out the ghetto. You ain't gotta be a thug to rhyme you just gotta knoe the history of our music. Fergie would never come to some ghettos and talk about her humps and london bridges. The ghetto ain't buying it only suburbane white kids and wanna be thugs.

In terms of musical quality, the beps are a joke and there is no need to debate. If they should be criticized for anything, it's the clown act they're putting on. I feel sorry for the struggling artists who see their 'success' as a model of how to make it in the industry. As for fergie, once you strip off the chest and stop airbrushing the publicity shots, you'll find a woman well past her prime willing to do whatever it takes--even if it means sacrifice her dignity and self-respect--to be a 'half-her-age' pop idol. Watching her is almost like watching those balding men who brush their hair over... Pathetic really. She'd make a great aging p0rn star though; although i'm pretty sure that is what the label thought too, hence her image. This group is nothing more than a variation of milli vanilli--a sham. The beps are not artists; they're a mockery. But in the end who cares. They aren't hurting anyone, and if it weren't them making and selling bad music to cater to the tastes of the vulgar masses, then it would be somebody else. Cheers.

Ok so i love the black eyed peas... They have great music and are always positive... Im sick of hearing people talking sh*t about them, they went through hell to get where they are today... They have done such a fantastic job at what they do.. I am probably the biggest bep fan ever...and i hate when i come onine and see people talking sh*t about them. Go ahead call them sellouts, but that is not going to change the way many fans around the world feel about them... So before you nasty ass scumbags start talking more sh*t about them look at the sh*t they have been through... Apl lived in the philipines and had nothing when he was younger, he went days without eating somthimes... But look at him now... He gives back and helps with impoverhed countries... Bep has their own foundation, they have benifits once a year in africa and donate so much money to people who dont have alot... So before you talk sh*t about them think about it, what have you done to help with our world, and fix the problem that so many people have...
