1) Is there a huge difference between BEP pre-Ron Fair and post? I mean, besides Fergie? To me, they're the same group, just a little more pop-y but it's hardly as if they went from the East Flatbush Project to Northern State.
2) Urrrrrrsssss: I'm not making a federal case here about insisting that "Laffy" and "Humps" are equivalent. But...from what I've seen, both songs attract very similar accusations of being remarkably simplistic stupid songs that represent a lowest-common-denominator approach to pop music. For the record, I think "Laffy Taffy" is far more interesting than "My Humps": I like the latter strictly on kitsch value whereas, "Laffy" is something I can dig as a song depsite whatever else it may lack in creative merits.

Oliver, listen to Falling Up or Joints & Jams against Where Is The Love, Don't Lie, My Humps, Get It Started, or any other post-Fair production. They went from bad hip-hop to bad pop. Can you not distinguish between the two?

Let me get my razor out so we can start splitting hairs

no hair splitting here. the difference between the two sets of songs mentioned here represents the difference between pop radio and urban radio... between bad nba anthems and bad kinda underground rap.* two completely different sounds.
*when bep first came out, i seem to recall they had a independent "vibe" or whatever
[Check it] Ever since I was a little younger I always had a rhyme that I flung up In any situation that you brung up Black Eyed Peas would shake a party like thunder Now everybody wanna ask and wonder How the Black Eyed Peas took it from the under From the bottom to the top Now we make your body rock Motherfuckers [hey!] don???t sit and ponder Coz we come with no blutes, no blunders We keep it fat like Attila the Honda Latin ladies be like ???Ay Karumba??? We calling in there like you chilling in the summer
[Chorus] We gave you some, now you gonna ask for some more But no, brother you ain???t gonna get no more And I know you really like this audio delite, Coz my drum goes ???dum diddy-dumma??? Check it out: One time, for your mind Two???s for your [soul] Three???s for your body, and Four???s for the ambiance Check it out coz this is how it go
I???m sick with the rhyme - I???m infected Since ???95 the BEPs perfected The way we get down on the record We coming up, we heat, that???s not expected You can???t, you can???t, you can???t help but check it We stand out like chubby people in check-its We???re coming hectic and hyper Aiming like a sniper And when I rock the mike y???all respect it You respect it coz you know I???m known to kill it I make you make you make you hotter than the skillet Yeah, and I know you gonna feel it Black Eyed Peas ??? we the r- we the realest
[Chorus]
My faithful never fall For every main (?) Gaining fame, that???s the deal, entertaining y???all Never change or conform, we always rock ???n??? roll I remember when we used to bust at the mall Ways of expressing my love for the art Now we here to restore these rap laws Coz the way it is now???s not the way I saw So check it: I???ma do it like this So y???all can recite this Hip-hop anthem once more I won???t let the mike rest No you won???t catch me rhymeless No matter what the feat you got in store

and nah, id rather not
Does it really bear explaining that this song doesn't go over well with certain crowds?

I always had a rhyme that I flung up
In any situation that you brung up
Black Eyed Peas would shake a party like thunder
Now everybody wanna ask and wonder
How the Black Eyed Peas took it from the under
From the bottom to the top
Now we make your body rock
Motherfuckers [hey!] don???t sit and ponder
Coz we come with no blutes, no blunders
We keep it fat like Attila the Honda
Latin ladies be like ???Ay Karumba???
We calling in there like you chilling in the summer
[Chorus]
We gave you some, now you gonna ask for some more
But no, brother you ain???t gonna get no more
And I know you really like this audio delite,
Coz my drum goes ???dum diddy-dumma???
Check it out:
One time, for your mind
Two???s for your [soul]
Three???s for your body, and
Four???s for the ambiance
Check it out coz this is how it go
I???m sick with the rhyme - I???m infected
Since ???95 the BEPs perfected
The way we get down on the record
We coming up, we heat, that???s not expected
You can???t, you can???t, you can???t help but check it
We stand out like chubby people in check-its
We???re coming hectic and hyper
Aiming like a sniper
And when I rock the mike y???all respect it
You respect it coz you know I???m known to kill it
I make you make you make you hotter than the skillet
Yeah, and I know you gonna feel it
Black Eyed Peas ??? we the r- we the realest

For every main (?)
Gaining fame, that???s the deal, entertaining y???all
Never change or conform, we always rock ???n??? roll
I remember when we used to bust at the mall
Ways of expressing my love for the art
Now we here to restore these rap laws
Coz the way it is now???s not the way I saw
So check it:
I???ma do it like this
So y???all can recite this
Hip-hop anthem once more
I won???t let the mike rest
No you won???t catch me rhymeless
No matter what the feat you got in store
[Chorus]
