Later, the guys “moved away” from breakdancing and went deeper into songwriting. They soon renamed themselves "Atban Klann" (short for "A Tribe Beyond a Nation"). The group survived many dangers, and even after the death of the head (Easy-E) of the Ruthless Records label, who signed a cooperation contract with them, they did not lose heart, and took on MC Taboo (Jamie Gomez), and then performed under the name “Black Eyed Peas” " Will takes on the nickname will.i.am (from William) and chooses to work as the band's producer. He also holds the position of lead singer, drummer and bassist of the group.

The group released two albums, but after completing the third album, the record label refused to release it. Rumors say that Stacy decided to leave the group because of drugs (Stacy had become too spoiled and was using drugs more and more). But the singer soon lost the habit (she owes this to the lead singer of the Black Eyed Peas, Will.i.am). In 2001, Will.i.am noticed her. The group desperately needed a female voice (after all, Kim Hill had left) for the song “Shut up.” As they say, there were two versions of how Stacy joined the group as a full-fledged vocalist. First version: Will and the whole team often noticed her at their concerts, but did not attach any importance to it. But soon a man approached Will with a request to listen to one person. Will agreed, but he didn't expect anything from this deal. And when Stacy appeared, she showed them her voice, and the guys were very surprised. Second version: the group members knew Stacy for a long time, and she really liked them. Will Adams could not resist her beauty and invited her to participate in the group, not knowing if she could sing. In the group he takes the pseudonym Fergie, derived from his surname. Her style includes everything called clothing. One day you can notice her in tracksuit, on the other in a costume of a sassy girl, and even in a police cap. “As soon as I receive my share of the money, I immediately buy myself clothes,” the girl admits. The most “famous” part of the singer’s body is her toned stomach. According to Fergie herself, she does not follow any diet, but keeps in shape by performing at concerts. Stacey's marital status is unknown to anyone. The only fact is that she has a young man, because of whom she wanted to leave native group. Lives in Los Angeles with his sister Dana, brother, father and mother. Now, Fergie is starring in a disaster film, the title of which is still unknown.

WITH early years, he is taken in by foster parents. In the eighth grade he left school with his friend Will Adams. Together they create dance group"Tibal Nation". A little later they rename themselves “Atban Klann”. After MC Jamie Gomez joined the group, they became the Black Eyed Peas. Allen takes the pseudonym apl.de.ap (epl.de.ap). In the team he plays the role of a performer of Filipino songs. Together with his teammate will.i.am writes the song “The apl song”, about the extraordinary difficult life in the Philippines. In 2005, with the same friend, he wrote a comic song (the plot is almost the same as in the previous song) “Bebot”. Allen is currently married to Cristina Pineda.

Jaime (Jaime) Luis Gomez(Spanish: Jaime Luis Gomez, born July 14, 1975), pseudonym Taboo (Taboo) - American singer-rapper. Half Mexican, half Indian, but lives most of his life in the Latin American part of Los Angeles. Having received a full education, Jamie becomes one of the most famous breakdancers in California. Due to such popularity, he is noticed by member of the Atban Klann group William Adams (Will.i.am). This is how the group Black Eyed Peas (English black-eyed peas) appears. Charismatic Jaime takes the pseudonym “TABOO” (English forbidden). In the group, he plays a very significant role as a performer of Spanish-language songs. Taboo is characterized by a retro style. He can often be seen wearing long coats, funny hats and mind-blowing bandanas. He also prefers the rap style. From Jaime's appearance it can be noted long hair and prominent cheekbones.

After the marriage, Jaime left behind a son, Joshua, who this moment thirteen years. Taboo was recently seen with Russian photographer Ksyusha Conditerova. By latest facts one American journalist, Ksyusha is the rapper’s fiancée. To the surprise of all the couple's friends, they officially announced their engagement. This information can be seen at www.blackeyedpeas.com. It is also known that Jamie drinks alcohol in huge quantities, and also smokes. Taboo was involved in leading role movie "Dirty".

The Black Eyed Peas is a group that over time lost the prefix “The” in its name and began to be called, as the guys themselves believe, simply and tastefully, the Black Eyed Peas. By the way, about the guys. At the moment, the guys in the group are not releasing any songs, and, accordingly, videos, but each individually is doing this quite successfully, although the group itself is officially still functioning.
Two members of the Black Eyed Peas have achieved good success in solo career- this and - he continues to achieve more - he has Napoleonic plans, and the other two: apl.de.ap and Taboo - are also trying to achieve something there, but I know very little about them, I don’t even know their names, to be honest , I didn’t know until I read it in the knowledge base. Who they are, how they live, I don’t care about them.

The only girl in the group, Fergie created one solo album- The Dutchess made a fortune from it, thanks to songs such as , Fergalicious, although it did not do without the participation of Will.I.Am, with the famous rapper Ludacris, and Clumsy. In general, a beautiful, charming, wealthy, albeit bisexual girl is now designing shoes, composing fragrances for Avon and doesn’t give a damn, and if something goes wrong, friend Will.I.Am will help, especially since he is gaining more and more every year. their popularity levels. Just take his track with Britney Spears - a little more than a month has passed and the song was released, I think Will.I.Am won’t stop on the album #Willpower, which will be released this summer...
Will.I.M is a completely different story...
Okay, the “main” half of the Black Eyed Peas group has been sorted out, now let’s take on the creativity of its members in the compartment.

Black Eyed Peas Videos

To be honest, Fergie has always been attracted to Black Eyed Peas videos - no matter what clip you take - well, everywhere she is simply amazing and charming - well, I’m just amazed - such an amazingly beautiful person.

Watching her listen to the songs created by the group, of which she is still a member, is a sight for sore eyes, in fact, this is the main feature of the Black Eyed Peas videos. It is possible that half of the views of all Black Eyed Peas videos are “addressed” to her.
In addition to undressing with the eyes of Fergie, Black Eyed Peas clips are also bright colors, dynamics, mass appeal, this is order in apparent chaos, this is a visual representation of how to have fun no matter what.
In general, Black Eyed Peas videos are positive in every note and frame, and for this many people love and respect them, because in our time it is very difficult to live constantly in a state of seriousness.

The songs of the Black Eyed Peas, with which it all began, continued and, one might say, ended and when it will begin again is unknown

Since joining the group in 2002 last participant group - Fergie, the group's songs, this dry lifeless rap of three guys, suddenly comes to life - the songs simply become much more pleasant to listen to with a gentle, calm female voice and then Will I. Am understands - this is what was missing, the whole group understands - together they are one whole - they complement each other. Well, that’s just the lyrics... But here’s the real thing:

The Beginning (2010)

The E.N.D (2009)

Monkey Business (2005)

Elephunk (2003)

Since the group in the composition in which we know it now began recording tracks after 2002 (the final composition of the group was formed this year with the arrival of Fergie), I will finish the chronology of singles on the album released in 2003. Previous albums are dated 2000 and 98 and even 92, it’s not difficult to guess that this was not “our” Black Eyed Peace.

Filmography of the Black Eyed Peas - will there be?

As for the filmography of the group, it was not filmed anywhere in its entirety, except for its videos, of course, but separately, yes. Fergie managed to play many roles, although not the main ones, in various films and voiced several characters in various cartoons, as did Will.I.Am, but we’ll talk about this on the pages of these performers.
Perhaps the group will someday get together again, begin to remember the past, once again gather thousands of people jumping to the same beat, and saying goodbye to them, make a biographical, historical film about themselves, about their ascension, about fame, about the peak of fame, and after that they will officially announce decay. Black group Eyed Peas will finally complete their story, because all good things must come to an end...

One of the most prominent US hip-hop groups began its journey with the acquaintance of beatmaker will.i.am (William Adams) with vocalist apl.de.ap (Allen Pineda Lindo). It happened in 1988: the team was named Atban Klann, and their first performances took place at breakdancing and hip-hop parties in Los Angeles. Atban Klann were noticed by gangsta rap legend Eazy-E, who offered to release their first record on his Ruthless label. However, the release never took place - the Grass Roots album remained on the shelf because the lyrics were too positive and kind, not suitable for a label producing aggressive gangster hip-hop.

In 1995, after the death of Eazy-E, MC Taboo joined the team, and the group's name changed to Black Eyed Peas: this is the name of a variety of cowpeas common in the southern American states.

The Peas received a contract with Interscope, after which they recorded two albums in a row. Behind The Front and Bridging The Gap turn out to be commercially unsuccessful: the group received a serious blow from pirated distribution of copies. However, the first album received warm reviews from hip-hop critics, and during the tour the group shared the stage with Public Enemy and Cypress Hill.

The American tragedy of September 11 became a catalyst creative process will.i.am - he creates the song Where Is the Love?, which becomes defining for the group’s style, both musically and ideologically. Black Eyed Peas combine pop, soul, funk, hip-hop in their sound - their lyrics call for the unification of cultures and nationalities around the world. Being originally an international band, the group sounds doubly convincing.
In 2002, Fergie (as well as the prefix The) joined the group: originally invited to record vocals for Shut Up, the singer remains in the group. A year later, the Elephunk album hits store shelves with the hit Let’s Get It Started.
