Then, we can review their recent numbers and see how they stack up today. And let me tell you right away, they stack up exceptionally well!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking root in hip hop with <\/span><b>Will.i.am&#8217;s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> pretentious interest in futurism, combined with Fergie&#8217;s disarming charm and verses that can only come to <\/span><b>Apl.de.Ap<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>Taboo\u2019s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> minds, when the <\/span><b>Black Eyed Peas<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> appeared, they looked like a ragtag group of misfits. Bands usually adhered to clear archetypes, so one of the keys to their success was that it wasn\u2019t entirely clear where one began and the other ended. The rappers didn\u2019t seem threatening and toxic, while the stunning singer seemed like she could beat anyone at arm wrestling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the solid success of their first two albums, it seems the guys decided to be as successful as humanly possible. They found a new singer and dared to sing about the situation in America after the 9\/11 attacks. The almost palpable anxiety was transformed into <\/span><b>\u201c<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WpYeekQkAdc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Where Is the Love?<\/b><\/a><b>&#8221; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The upcoming pop star, <\/span><b>Justin Timberlake<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, refined the song at the start of his solo career. He was so popular then that his record label eventually forbade him from appearing in the video and being credited, although his voice is clearly heard in the chorus. They feared oversaturation if you can believe it. It was a completely different time. Nearly a quarter of a century ago. Some Serbian TV stations broadcast <\/span><b>MTV<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> programming back then. The video was announced for weeks; I had no idea what it was all about except that it was big. The momentum was such that the video of them driving and running through the city with question marks remained imprinted in my gray matter for good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On paper, it didn&#8217;t seem like the <\/span><b>Black Eyed Peas<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> would succeed. The lack of chemistry between <\/span><b>Will<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>Fergie<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> made their playful bickering in songs seem cartoonish. They often spent time on the edge of absurdity, retelling minor squabbles. They occupied that space following reconciliation when it is almost impossible to remember what the argument was all about. \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=P4Bda6_usuc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Don&#8217;t Phunk With My Heart<\/b><\/a><b>&#8220;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>\u201c<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KRzMtlZjXpU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Shut Up<\/b><\/a><b>&#8221; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best demonstrate this, while <\/span><b>\u201c<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iEe_eraFWWs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>My Humps<\/b><\/a><b>&#8220;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> slips from that edge straight into the surreal, allowing mockery gymnastics to flourish.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I spent an entire afternoon in the car, driving around the city with the windows down. Through Kolar\u010deva Street to Terazije, we turned up the volume every time <\/span><b>&#8220;Gotta get get&#8221;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> started. Absurd electronics and vocal filters, that constant beeping in the background that sounds like a torpedo going off, <\/span><b>Fergie<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who sounds like she&#8217;s calling her cow over, the onomatopoeia <\/span><b>\u201c<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4m48GqaOz90\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Boom Boom Pow<\/b><\/a><b>&#8221; \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> none of that should work. BUT IT DID! And it still does. The biggest parties in our country are centered around the lyrics of this song; it is played on the radio, DJs keep it as an ace up their sleeve for every party in bars downtown; at birthdays, whoever gets hold of the computer plays it on YouTube \u2013 and no one gets mad. It\u2019s absurd; someone might say it\u2019s this or that, but it\u2019s a hit. For all ages. You can\u2019t stand still when you hear it, and I can\u2019t wait to listen to it live.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u201c<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4m48GqaOz90\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Boom Boom Pow<\/b><\/a><b>&#8221; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was suuuch a moment. And the craziest part? They had two at the same time. Simultaneously, they released <\/span><b>\u201c<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uSD4vsh1zDA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>I Gotta Feeling<\/b><\/a><b>,<\/b><b>&#8220;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the theme song for every weekend. The message is so simple and universal that, again, no one could get mad at it. A friend nudges you with an elbow and winks, saying, &#8220;I got a feeling that tonight&#8217;s gonna be a good night.&#8221; We all need that sometimes, and that&#8217;s what the song is about. And the &#8220;woo-hoo&#8221; part is for us to celebrate together when it does turn out to be a good night. For exactly half of 2009, they topped the charts with these two songs alternating, a dominance that remains unmatched to this day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since she joined the band only on the third album, <\/span><b>Fergie&#8217;s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> contribution is clear. Her image defined an entire era of pop culture, just as her low-rise pants defied the laws of physics and stayed on. Her ethnicity was a mystery, but that didn\u2019t stop all teenage girls from wanting to look like her. The most common method was to layer tops nonsensically, but she also kept the eyebrow-piercing industry alive. Her arrival was a blessing as much as her departure was a curse. Nostalgists bombard both her and her group with questions and comments about a potential reunion. She shows no desire to perform again while the band continues on their trajectory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2018, <\/span><b>J. Rey Soul<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> joined the <\/span><b>Black Eyed Peas<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> after being mentored by <\/span><b>Apl.de.Ap<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on <\/span><b>The Voice of the Philippines<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. She was first introduced through a collaboration on the song <\/span><b>\u201c<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4bP8wbt4SeA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Mamacita<\/b><\/a><b>&#8220;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with the Puerto Rican megastar <\/span><b>Ozuna<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and became a regular member on the following two albums. <\/span><b>\u201c<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mbVRQtVSH3MpwZsI59mg-t4qDko0--f2U&amp;si=B5UCTUE3OpW-hjI8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Translation<\/b><\/a><b>\u201d <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">from 2020 and <\/span><b>\u201c<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lfWpspbC16vn2pa3yVjqohx-VduTI7ai0&amp;si=_HyijEGQir81MVB9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Elevation<\/b><\/a><b>\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from 2022 exemplify how effective a leader Will.i.am is for this ensemble.

With <\/span><b>80 million records sold<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and an immeasurable influence on pop culture, they never stopped being part of it. There is an undeniable sense of togetherness when a <\/span><b>Black Eyed Peas<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> song plays. It certainly marked my youth, but their legacy of monoculture is now longed for even by those who didn\u2019t live through it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine yourself on the Main Stage. Each of us comes from somewhere, and we are all someone, but when \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IKqV7DB8Iwg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leeeeeet&#8217;s get it started, IN HEeeeRE&#8230;<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8221; starts \u2013 we become one. By the time we get halfway through the concert and <\/span><b>\u201c<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZaI2IlHwmgQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Pump It<\/b><\/a><b>&#8220;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> begins, you don\u2019t know if you\u2019re at a festival or another school trip. That night will be the culmination of all the Fridays, car rides, birthdays, and spontaneous parties where the <\/span><b>Black Eyed Peas<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provided the soundtrack.
