New Black Eyed Peas - Monkey Business - 6\7\05

I did a search and couldn't find a thread for this yet. I could have sworn this was supposed to be out at the end of May, but Amazon has a June 7th date. I've loved the 2 songs that I've heard off this soo far. "Don't Phunk With my Heart" has been getting alot of radio play lately and "Pump It" is featured on that Best Buy TV commercial where it uses the beat from that song during the opening credits of Pulp Fiction, which I can't remember for the life of me what it was actualy called.

I liked Elephunk quite a bit, so I'm really interested to hear more.




01. Pump It
02. Don't Phunk With My Heart
03. My Style (Feat. Justin Timberlake)
04. Don't Lie
05. My Humps
06. Like That (Feat. Cee-Lo, John Legend, Talib Kweli & Q-Tip)
07. Dum Diddly
08. Feel It
09. Gone Going (Feat. Jack Johnson)
10. They Don't Want Music (Feat. James Brown)
11. Disco Club
12. Bebot
13. Ba Bump
14. Audio Delite At Low Fidelity
15. Union (Feat. Sting)

Does anyone know if Will.I.Am is getting a bit of LSD? I mean, there are three rappers and a singer, but all I see is Will and Fergie taking up all the video time. Not that I mind as Will is my fav rapper of the three, but damn, give those other dudes some love. Especially on the lead single (which I think is really bad btw). I did really like Elephunk in all it's pop goodness so I'll check this out though.

if you liked Elephunk, this is more of the same. It's got some good beats and a few "party" songs that will be blasting out of cars all summer long. Not bad overall.

I work at American Eagle and we had a promotion in the store today where we played the whole CD from 1 to 4 PM. I love their first two albums, and Elephunk is alright, but I think the new album is terrible. Everyone else in the store seemed to think so too. To me it sounded like an entire album of "Let's Get Retarded".

I only enjoy the first two tracks off this one. I may need to give it some more listens, but at this point i enjoy Elephunk better.

I just gave the CD a listen over at MySpace and my first impression is that CD is a pretty big letdown. I agree that the first 2 tracks are really good and I thought the 7th track was pretty good too but overall, I'm pretty dissapointed.

I completely agree. Five years ago the news of a new BEP album would get me excited. Not anymore. I've pretty much written them off.

I met them at CMJ shortly before their first album dropped. They seemed like nice guys. And their show (with live instruments) was great.

Eh, it's alright. That Justin Timberlake song, track 3, is actually pretty good. Prolly the next single.

Either way, it'll be a big seller.
