I love these peas. They were more jazzy and hip hop and other performers are going back to this format like Lupe Fiasco, the guy on the MickeyD's commercial(which I love, by the way), and other guys I can't think of now (I'm thinking about the guy from Ethopia... K'met I think). Well ya'll know who I mean! Taboo rapped more and they even did a duet with Macy! This album needs a second look fom the peas now. And no the Black Eyed Peas didn't always have Fergie, in case you didn't know. But I ain't hatin'... I still love the Peas and the twist she put in their music.

I love Black Eye Peas, the music and words to a song is so uplifting.

Now they're famous all over the world and they've changed their style completely, but since the beginning we could see that they were here to make history. Even without Fergie, Behind the Front is one of the best albums that I've ever heard.

Like a lot of other people here, I first heard about the Black Eyed Peas when I listened to their first single off of Elephunk, "Where Is the Love?". I thought it was a great song and a fresh change of pace from that gangsta rap crap of the time like 50 Cent and Chingy, so I bought Elephunk.
It wasn't until five years later did I decide to check out their very first album, Behind the Front. I have heard of it before when browsing the Wikipedia article on the band, but never considered listening to it. I really regret neglecting it for so long. Behind the Front is BEP's best album, in my humble opinion. From the mellow beats and jazzy instrumentation to feel-good lyrics and occasional blasts against mainstream rap, I enjoyed almost everything the BEP had brought on this album.
After listening to this and their second album, Bridging the Gap, countless times, I sort of feel sad that they had to go abandon their stances against mainstream music and become assimilated into it. Ironic that they call down rappers who "might as well be rhyming in a Pringle commercial" when they are now doing the same thing, e.g. the Target ads with "I Gotta Feeling." It's a real darn shame that the BEP had to sell out in order to succeed, otherwise I would continue following them and their future endeavors.

El producto llegó en buen estado y tal como se muestra en la descripción e imágenes. Se escucha muy bien y los discos están íntegros. Excelentes canciones, hip-hop noventero, una pieza que vale la pena escuchar y tener.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best BEP album by far
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 21, 2017
This is by far the greatest BEP album ever made. It’s not on Amazon Music or Apple music so I bought it to import to my collection. If you like Hip Hop this is well worth a listen!
5.0 out of 5 stars A Découvrir

Avant de succomber à l'électro commercial, le groupe (sans Ferguie) avait des rythmes incroyables. Un album à découvrir et à ecouter absolument.
5.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected

Better than expected from some of the reviews. As should be expected from Will.I.am there are a few 'quirky bits' but otherwise pleased.
