Eventually, as my collection and knowledge of the genre expands, they may reveal themselves to be less interesting than they seem, or maybe not. We'll see.

c´mon Seba ... do not go in devensive... if you listen to 70 hip hop albums its far enough to say if you like a artist or not. even if you just listen to 20 you could say if they are good or not because of your music knowledge in diffrent generes. i guess the most hip hop fans care more about if something is cool or not. and the black eyed peas are definitly not cool so some members would never say they like them.

this just something ridiculous and belongs in the category "teenage scene hipsters"... without giving now my statement to the black eyed peas i would bet some members would like them if they would be a underground act on stones throw records for example.

ok who the hell started this bep was good b4 they existed the fugees were good after ppl shoulda realized they were and after they sold out. BEP has suct will suck n use justin timberlake. furthermore wyclef has never worn huge glasses or danced and asked ppl to get ingna'ant nor has pras or lauryn hill. who the hell started or understood the comparison in the 1st place again?

The rest of the members of BEP wish they had 1/5th of the lyricism of the Fuggees as a whole. But wait... theres more reasons to hate them! They dumped Esthero for that blonde haired bimbo hag (yes, hag -- she's quite old), and in fact Esthero was by FAR the more talented vocalist. They also sold-out in a big way once they got into the hands of the label.

The Fuggees, on the other hand, are paragons of integrity and respect. The Score is one of the best albums released in the last 15 years, production wise. And despite the weird, and sometimes colossal failures of their respective members in solo projects, the Refugee Camp worked together great chemistry as a whole. I'd say I'd pay upwards of 60 dollars for a ticket to seem them perform live, as a group. And I dont have to pay for shows -- EVER. So there you have it.

dis dawg b telling da truth ruth
