Black Eyed Pea Writes Crappy “Activist” Music On The Crapper
Okay, so this story sort of teases you with the headline without offering any sort of decent follow up info. (Not that I’m sure I’d want more info about will.i.am’s toilet habits.) But it does bring a chuckle or two when we learn that the BEP mastermind fancies himself “political,” like he’s the next evolutionary step on from Curtis Mayfield or Joe Strummer.
“We weren’t trying to make hits when we made Elephunk,” he says. “Do you think I would have called the CIA terrorists in ‘Where is the Love?’ right around the time America went to Iraq if I was trying to make a record to get played on the radio?” So what about the next bazillion hits? “Lovely lady lumps” was a reference to WMD’s? “London Bridge” examined Tony Blair’s fawning relationship with Bush? Help me out here, will.
