How did the Black Eyed Peas become the world's strongest R&B group?
The reason for this can probably be summarized as a trilogy of devianceBlack Eyed Peas consists of apl.de.ap, will.i.am, Fergie, Taboo (from left to right), and released their debut album "Behind the Front" in 1998, and after a bumpy ride, they finally became famous with the song "Where is the Love" in 2003, with the addition of female lead singer Fergie. Where is the love", last year's album "Monkey Business" even put them on the top of the American Hip-Hop charts. Now, they are the "Best Rap Group" at the 2006 Grammy Awards.  Over the years, more and more international artists are willing to come to Beijing to perform. Some years ago it was Elton John singing the theme song of The Lion King and the Backstreet Boys who took the US by storm, and this year Shanghai has seen the arrival of veteran rock band the Rolling Stones.  But if you look at the lineup of foreign artists who have performed in China in recent years, you'll have a question: where have the Hip-Hop buddies who have occupied more than 60% of the Billboard singles charts all year round gone?  On July 18th, a Hip-Hop extravaganza will be staged at the Beizhan Theatre, which will finally give us all a chance to have a good time - Black Eyed Peas, a four-member Hip-Hop group from Los Angeles, is the main character of the show - and we will be able to witness the grand gesture live. A masterstroke we were able to witness live.  "One of the group's unconventional paths to Hip-Hop Don't think that winning a Grammy is easy, besides good music, you need to be a little bit smart. The Black Eyed Peas are one of the smartest bands, and their unique music and style of doing things have given today's Hip-Hop a new look.  Since the 90's, gang activity among African Americans has escalated, and as a major pastime for this group, Hip-Hop has inevitably been involved.  The Black Eyed Peas, on the other hand, were a clear departure from the darker image of Hip-Hop, and from their inception they preached "love and peace", with several members of the breakdancing group hoping for a return to the positive times of the 80s. The Black Eyed Peas not only refused to include violence or pornography in their songs, but also wrote touching anti-war anthems such as "Where is the Love" during the U.S. invasion of Iraq.  This opposition to the existing rules of the Hip-Hop market proved to be a success - large numbers of fans who had never touched Hip-Hop before were attracted to their music. They can proudly say: our records are clean.  Black Eyed Peas don't go with the usual Hip-Hop artists in terms of dressing style, but rather go for the Prada type of high-end fashion route, which is clean and decent. The most popular fashion trend in the industry today is "Bling" (a look based on large diamonds), to which the Black Eyed Peas seem to have never existed.  "The Black Eyed Peas are not a 100% Hip-Hop band musically speaking. Among the members, apl.de.ap is Filipino and will.i.am is of Jamaican origin, which guarantees the diversity of the Black Eyed Peas' music from the root. In her latest album "Monkey Business," Latin melodies and reggae rhythms are mixed into the music to give it a different feel.  On the other hand, Fergie's vocals are also a highlight of Black Eyed Peas. Unlike other female-fronted hip-hop bands, Fergie's vocals don't focus on fancy R&B, but rather on the technique of simplicity, which of course also ensures that Black Eyed Peas' songs are poppy and catchy at the same time.  The band has been known for their crossover collaborations, with their "Where is the love" with Justin Timberlake and "Gone going" with Jack Johnson being chart-topping highlights. So it's easy to see how the Black Eyed Peas were favored by the Grammy judges, who are known for their attention to detail, and ultimately won the supreme honor of Hip-Hop Group of the Year.  "Controversial live performances Eight years after their debut, the Black Eyed Peas have built their reputation on outstanding live performances.  Their large stage lineup includes trumpets, saxophones, flutes, and other hip-hop instruments that were controversial at the beginning of their career, but have now become one of the highlights of the band's stage shows.  With several members having a good background in dance bands, Black Eyed Peas' performances are also considerably more physical than other Hip-Hop groups: Fergie is sexy when she dances, and will.i.am's b-boy is a killer on stage. Most importantly, they are very good at mobilizing the atmosphere, and if you don't know much about their songs, they can turn the audience into a sea of karaoke when they sing songs like "Don't phunk up with my heart" and "Let's get it started". In this way, the Black Eyed Peas' qualifications for being chosen to perform at a concert before the World Cup opens in Germany are well-deserved.
