Monkey Business - Black Eyed Peas (CD 2005)

I liked BEP a few years back when it seemed like they had somthing to say to the world and I even liked there song "Get it started" which was just fun hype but I dislike the poor quality sound and not even clever ideas on thes new album and I no longer would consider myself a fan

i would recommend this seller to any buyer. the product arrived on time and in the codition that i expected it to be . thanks

good artist, the buyer is great to do business with and I'm a huge music fan. The shipping was fast, the cd in like-new condition and I can't wait to buy again from this seller.

It's old news by now, but I like it and do recommend this to you if you enjoy mainstream hip-hop. It's the Blacky Eyed Peas, it has some videos that you'll only see on YouTube and you can get it relatively cheap.

I liked this cd quite a bit, especially in the morning on the way to the pool! It got me going but they style is a little different from what I am used to. Maybe it is why i liked them so much? Maybe it is why I do not listen to them as much anymore! LOL

Pros: Much better as a group than Fergie by herself!
Cons: Not enough good songs in a group on here!

I have to admit, probably a 43 year old woman shouldn't be buying the BlackEyed Peas, but I was watching that dance show and they danced to the song Pump It and made me want to dance to it so I bought the CD. That song is good and I recognized some others. My good friend is 25 and LOVES this CD. For me, it's just ok and I actually only listened to it once. It's a bit much for my old ears. :-)

1. Pump It (7.5/10) - Listening to this song reminded me of old Beach Boy tracks I used to listen to as I was growing up and the Pulp Fiction theme, only this time with a funky groove. A great summer track. It's interesting how each member of the group pronounces the word "say" - with a non-North American accent; makes it marketable to European/Australian listeners.

2. Don't Phunk With My Heart (7.5/10) - A very "progressive" beat; could have used more bass, it wasn't a song I immediately liked after the single dropped; caters to the industry trend, which have embraced the likes of Outkast's "Hey Ya!"

3. My Style (7.0/10) - Former lead singer of *Nsync + Timbaland + BEP makes a very respectable track on the MB. Timbaland's creativity, like will.i.am's, ranks among the best in the business. Missy Elliott ("Get Ur Freak On") and the late Aaliyah ("Are you that somebody?"), who have relied on Timbaland's production for hit singles, would agree.

4. Don't Lie (6.5/10) - one of the most-radio friendly songs on the album. Contrary to the message the song is conveying (anger about deceit), reminded me of fun-pop vibes by OMC and Sugar Ray; the chorus stands out with a City High-ish lyrics "Whatcha gonna do...." Should do okay, if/when released on Adult Contemporary radio (35-44 age group)... and it did!

5. My Humps (8.5/10) - Catchy, sexy, and Fergie. Disc Jockeys from clubs everywhere will be rushing to pre-order the vinyl's for this one.

6. Like That (8.0/10) - It's great to see the BEP go back to their hiphop roots and invite a couple of respected MC's; Intelligent lyrics: "You'd be running like a herd of caribou on...avenue...my lyrics are... splitting like atoms like hiroshima and nagasaki"

7. Dum Diddly (7.0/10) - I can play this song back to back with "Hey, Mama."

8. Feel It (6.5/10) - As with Will's lyrics, "Can you feel that bass in your ass... huh?" Fortunately, I did. I hope the ladies in clubs everywhere will, too.

9. Gone Going (8.0/10) - It addresses the volatility of material possessions and life, itself. Great message for kids of all ages.

10. They Don't Want Music (9.0/10) - Collaborating with the father of soul automatically gives this song high marks.

11. Disco Club (8.5/10) - A party anthem for those who are not planning to practice abstinence. Wear a condom.

12. Bebot (8.5/10) - There's an old Filipino saying which roughly translates, "One who doesn't look back and remember her roots, she'll never get to where she wants to be." Life in the Philippines, just like in any third-world country, is never easy. "Bebot' is an informal term used to refer to a Filipino lady, or in this song - all Filipinos. Apl.de.Ap proudly ryhmes in his native language, over hard hiphop beats, about the resilience and unity of his people everywhere.

13. Ba bump (7.5/10) - Sound, practical advice by the BEP, "If the girl is ugly then get drunk..." Does it work the other way around, too?

14. Audio Delite (8.0/10) - This is BEP at its finest, as the group, just like in "Like That," digs back deep and dishes out what has put them in the music industry in the first place, as fun-loving, socially-conscious MCs.

15. Union (8.0/10) - Sting has remained visible in the music industry by lending his music to contemporary urban artists such as Puff Daddy, Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony, and now the BEP. The track itself may not make it big the way "Where is the love?" did on Top 40 radio, but the message is just as powerful, if not more.

Overall 9.5/10

Always a pleasure to do business with this company. Great service.Promptly shipped, well packaged, just as described. Very good experience, reasonable ship time, product rc'd in perfect condition . Highly recommend this seller!

Bought the CD as a gift for my daughter. Was much more affordable then purchasing it through a store.

Why when a band blows up even though they have been on the scene for a long time some ppl look down on that don't get it..

I for one thought this album make you wanna move and go out good job i thought....

Now the Anti BEP can start clicking NO to disagree

I bought it because I like some of the songs on the cd and it is alot cheaper to buy cd's on ebay, even with shipping costs, than it is to buy it at the store. It was a good price and I like the music.

BUY THE FIRST CD
THIS ONE IS NOT VERY GOOD
NOT WORTH THE MONEY
ONLY ABOUT A 1/4 OF THE SONGS ARE GOOD

I NEVER GOT THE CD! It was never shipped. So I don't know anything about the CD yet. It took 8 weeks for me to get my refund.

My son really loved to listen to the songs on the radio of Black Eyed peas. I had no idea when we actually listened to the CD that it had SO much sexual language on it. My mistake for not previewing. So just preview before buying for kids under 13...

i never received this yet i am not happy at all with this transaction i want to know how we can resolve this matter

I decided to get this album because I like this group. Unfortunaely the first time I purchased this I never received it. Since I paid with PayPal I put in for a refund and received it. I'm waiting to receive it this time. I know when it was shipped.

I think if a member is no longer registered with Ebay they shouldn't be allowed to sell anything. Thank you Harriet Spector(Hagglequeen2)

my little girl just loved the cd thank you!!!!!! It had came just in time for the concert that came 2 weels later!

I decided to place a bid on this CD. I was the high bidder, but I did not receive this item. I currently have a open dispute with the seller.

I love everything about this CD, the Black Eyed Peas are the very BEST when it comes to music! I decided to buy it becuase I lost the previous copy that I owned, and I just couldn't do without this album, so bought a second copy. Excellent purchase, no regrets!!

I have to agree with Earthbound that the Black Eyed Peas have no talent. Really, how hard do you think it was to write the line "I met this girl down at the disco? She said hey hey hey hey let's go"? I mean I do freestyles all the time and come up with much better material off the cuff than they do when they write for real! The amount of repetition (especially small filler words) they rely on to get enough lyrics into their songs is pathetic. For example, "no no no no baby no no no no don't lie no no no no baby no no no no don't lie". The only crap more repetitive is Mike freaking Jones! Who? Mike Jones!

Earthbound hit the nail on the head when he said, "they picked up where the Village People left off". Only he forgot to mention that the Village People were much better than the Black Eyed Peas. I mean, compared to My Humps, YMCA is a masterpiece.

The only thing I recommend doing with this CD (other than getting a good laugh) is burning it (with fire: why waste your time pirating that tripe)!

Where do I start on this really bad excuse for talent! Oh, I got it! How about I start by throwing the CD in the trash where it belongs. They picked up where the village people left off. The only current artist that sucks worse then the black eyed peas is.........PAUL WALL! Ok, let me quote some of the wonderfully talented lyrics that came from this band. 1.) "I met a girl down at the disco, she said hey hey hey hey let's go." 2.) "Let get retarded in here" (they did a fine job of that). 3.) "Oh no no no don't phunk with my heart" (where is the rhyme).
Let’s talk about the lead singer for a little. This man is by far the worst singer I have ever heard. I would get more pleasure listening to Stephen Hawking's computer voice than this idiot. Let me see if this keyboard can do my explanation justice for how bad this man sings. He says, and I quote "I wanna take your picccccccctureeeeeeeeee be cause I wanna get wiiiiitttttt'cha yaaaaaaaa, so I can sit and staaaaarrrrreeee at chaaaaaaa, anit nothin wrong wit staaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrren at chaaa." It sounds like a two-year-old sang this song if it could even be called a song. I can't believe that America calls this trash talent. I could literally record myself using the bathroom and it would contain more talent (with more rhyming success) than the Black eyed peas CD!
If you like the Black eyed peas I am so sorry I had to inform you how bad they are this way! The only thing this CD is useful for is a drink coaster, but the sheer presence of the CD on a wooden table might cause the table to warp and stink forever.

Love the CD-great songs. Decided to buy the CD for myself after hearing songs at a club. Super dance music. The whole CD is filled with great music, not just a few tracks.

need for dj work, legal copy, i can't work with copies so i have to buy everything that people like, i play house and a little rnb, and in portugal if he are caught playing illegal copies pay high fees to authors association.

I loved the whole CD, music at its best. The beats and vocals are exciting and refreshing. The whole world was waiting for this CD and its music reflects the brotherly love the Peas have for one another. From their underground roots, and representing all of LA, I hope they always enjoy this type of success and that the public recognizes their talent.
