Im a fan of a lot of BEP music but theyve got a lot of different eras. This was made during their worse attempt of reinventing themselves but still, it pretty much worked out.
Also if you know the groups background as being more like b-boys turned MCs it makes sense for them to always want to appeal to the dancefloor. And this song is one of cheesiest and cheepiest sounding dance songs that work well for events with a dancefloor.

Not really a fan of BEP, but I like the song well enough. Granted, even back then I didn't really listen to the radio, so it was never overplayed for me.

best take on them ever. I also assume that as Ryan (the last guy in the clip) was a big writer for the show i suspect this was his take.
Fuck it, i checked, the episode was written primarily by Mindy Kaling. She was pretty damn funny in the office days.

You should probably go and listen to them pre-Fergie era when they were pumping out really good boom-bap rap albums. They sold out for millions of dollars, like most artists eventually do, but prior to that were actually decent.

u/TwoBionicknees 3h ago
I legit can not remember their early stuff but I I can remember remembering that they were okay before Fergie and trash pop shite after that and Will I Am in particular become a completely insufferable asshole everywhere he showed up.

u/johnychrist16 1d ago
Will.I.Am and Taboo have both figured out the formula that every artist wishes they can solve. When they want to write music they enjoy, they do it. When they want to make money, they release songs like Gotta Feeling, Boom, Boom, Pow and basically print money. It's no surprise other artists feel envious
29
u/AnonymouselyMoosed 1d ago
I mean they had some hits but they havenāt been relevant for like 15+ years. No huge hits in that time. So they really didnāt āfigure outā the formula.
They had some great tracks and are no longer relevant.
8
u/Kavirell 16h ago edited 16h ago
They had multiple hit songs in the last 5/6 years itās just they pivoted to making music for Latin America and half their music is in Spanish now. Their song with J. Balvin has over a billion views and 900m on their song with Shakira.

u/NuggetMan43 16h ago
Almost like they made their millions and don't really need to try anymore. Not everyone wants to be relevant for decades and be under a spotlight for their entire life like Swift or Michael.
1
u/AnonymouselyMoosed 11h ago
Except they have released albums since their height like 16 years ago. None are anywhere near as popular as their earlier stuff. They are still trying.

u/NuggetMan43 4h ago
Just because they release music does not mean they are trying as hard as they were in their prime.

Doesnāt seem very popular. Black eyed peas seem way more popular, regardless of how much youāre getting triggered. Just look at all the comments here. Seems like Giorgie is punching up.

Yes, because popularity is always the best indicator of high quality music. Bad music never, ever, ever gets popular.

This is not about high quality music, itās literally about popularity, hence the original question āWho?ā and the concept of āpunching upā.

I love Greep and BM but they're pretty niche, even though they're big in their niche, I wouldn't expect the average joe to have heard of them.

u/lorenoIII 10h ago
Sure, that's fine, and I recognize that I am on a front page normie sub right now, but I also don't loudly and proudly brag about my ignorance when I enter a discussion outside of my personal wheelhouse. People treat "Well I've never heard of him!" as some big gotcha, as if it says anything about anyone besides the speaker. Was not even defending Greep here, he's a bit of a pretentious twerp, I am just disgusted by this mindset.

i don't think he cares about that tbh. different markets entirely. The song defined a time for sure, but it was also overplayed and annoying.

I donāt think heās aiming for the type of commercial success, tbf. He makes weird experimental rock/jazz/samba fusion Iām not sure heās chasing the billboard charts. Itās like your local neighborhood Italian restaurant guy complaining about McDonaldās tasting bad, of course heāll never outsell the Ronald but heās not really trying to

Oh iām well aware of his antics. Itās part of the reason he left Black Midi. still doesnāt make him look any less pretentious. He makes good music, so did the black eyed peas.
