    this is geniu....s and then you listen to there new shit and gag.

  • How sad... I can barely stomach their new shit, but this is on repeat all the time.

  • I SEE WAD THEY DID THER

    

  • Irony, could we sing this song for them now

    Goodbye good B.E.P! We miss you

  • great lyrics! good song!

  • i like the version with just jack johnson much better.

  • God! I miss the old Black Eyed Peas ...

  • I love the old black eyed peas and I love their new stuff just as much.

  • BEP wanna be a big star

    Get on stage and play the guitar

    Make a little money, buy a fancy car

    Big old house and an alligator

    Just to match with them alligator shoes

    They're a rich mans so he's no longer singing the rap

    They're singing songs about material things......

  • @sevira33 ironic isnt it?

  • 0:59

  • <3

    

  • You have to love Jack Johnson :)

  • Back when mainstream hip hop hits had meaningful and sensible lyrics.

  • some people say that they changed when this album came out but this track shows they still had it

  • guys is talkin bout the new bep and the old bep gonna change them at all? man just listen to the music

  • thanks for posting the vid it is good quality and its a good song but sadly the bep singers have faded :/ but jack johnson is still there

  • does bep listen to this song anymore? They dont want music? get original? or at least do they feel ashamed?

  • way to god damn good of a song. damn

  • @vivalageorge5 what does that mean...?

  • @zBlackJackk that it is a really good song

  • thumbs up if all the people saying that the black eyed peas are gone are stupid

  • @tylermc14 no thumbs up lol

  • @tylermc14 Too bad you're not going to make the best reactions, since the original black eyed peas are gone going...

  • @Broodsnijplank no one asked you

  • @tylermc14 And yet i still answered.

  • @Broodsnijplank true, very true

    

  • hey all the haters up in here sayin "the black eyed peas are singing bout themselves" shut up its not like it was their choice to be taken over by the industry... i bet if they had a choice they would be just like they used to be... so shut up they are still teh black eyed peas!!!

  • @tylermc14 Please step out of your naive, ignorant world, my friend

  • Oh the irony...

  • Where is Fergie?

  • @TheTatuque Not ruining another song.

  • YT rocks. this is such an awesome example of what YT does. Forget the legalities, forget the important incidentals. I needed to make a point about something important and within a few clicks, I was able to call up this song. Whatever else happens, all you people at google, YT etc know you did something right.

  • Where did all the good people go anyway?

  • real music!

  • @3492isaac who taught you.

  • @mariasimz taught me what?

  • going gone... there go the old Black Eyed Peas and they don't give a damn

  • After this album they stopped being amazing.. All the music sounds the same now.. The old stuff had feeling to it.. I miss the way music used to be.

  • i have this CD better than some the stuff they make now

  • I love the irony.

    

  • i found this because of jack johnson.... black eyed peas, you ruined one of my favorite songs by jack >:O

  • "His fans can't relate to his new found art."

  • its a shame they dont listen to this song. All their current songs sound the same. It went down hill for them on their 3rd album.

  • Is this available on iTunes?

  • @ImJetsu course it is :P

  • Sad they didn't listen to their own song.

  • probably the most honest and best song of BEP...

  • @NamesR4Nerds And that would be because they pinched it from Jack Johnson! :L

  • I listen to this song and can't stop but feeling like they predicted their own future or some shit.

  • Everyones complaining about them selling out. Did anyone stop to think that maybe their tastes in music have changed. An act this large doesnt care about public appeal, they just do what theyre feeling and because they do it well it sells. Ur jus looking at it wrong they didnt sell out they evolved and now theyre out selling :P

  • @loweshaw nah man. This song is protesting against selling out then they went and did just that. I hope it makes them sick at night when they look in the mirror and see a reflection of what the public wants to see.

  • loweshaw

    Right you gotta understand BEPs roots as a hip-hop act (Atban Klann initially), they basically rapped but didn't practice what they preached ie this song & the likes of BEP empire ''money is a drug and mcs are on it, we'll take it back to the days of soul sonic''. Hip hop stresses its lyrics & beats, BEP now only have half that wtf is ''im so 3008 your so 2000 & late/stepping on leprachauns''. Their lyrics are half arsed & moved away from their social outlook/positive rap vibes

  • loweshaw

    The worst part of it all is that they have the talent & were a unique hip hop group that already were famous after fergie joined, sure they can do whatever music they want but they owe something to their fans that helped them get famous & not do a U-turn so suddenly, when was the last time you heard them play Karma/Joints & Jams/BEP Empire etc live? about 8 years ago. They don't even work with hip hop artists anymore despite previously having huge names & djs (primo) working with em

  • How ironic. They sang about how they are making music today.

  • Oh the Irony!

  • @happypotter187 I was just thinking the same thing :)

    I's because they teamed up with David Guetta, who is the definition of "sell out" in our opinion. He makes simple, catchy melodies about getting girls, and sex, and partying. Which of course has it's own demographic but where is the musical value? We miss the days when music used to be about making art, and opening peoples eyes to problems in society - that's what the Black Eyed Peas USED to be about. Art has a different meaning these days!

  • such a hipocritical song :((((

  • sensimillia is the healing of the nation

  • *_*

  • Can anyone point me in the direction of some songs like this?

    I already have Jack Johnsons entire discography and I need chills songs like this for the summer for my bike rides. :)

  • @RiseOfTheNerd anything by the script or james morrison :)

  • @RiseOfTheNerd >>>this way >>>

  • now the black eyed peas suck, they only do comercial crap

  • This song is about will.i.am now

  • cannabis directly affects language processing thats probably why these lyrics appeal to 13 year olds

  • @jonnygreenpigs Ignorant. 

  • /watch?v=euTYKqaxoJo O omg M omg G omg

  • i miss the old black eyed peas :(

  • @Beatrizfdso kan het ouder dan deze dan?? maar je hebt gelijk, deze is veel leuker dan de nieuwe (NL)

  • @Beatrizfdso i know they were so good before they got shit haha

  • What happend to these black eyed peas....

  • i used to love this song when i was in 5th/6th grade >_>

  • It's funny they're singing about themselves.

  • @radbanaria hahahaha i was listening to this song at school today and i was like "wait this is exactly what they're doing now"

  • @radbanaria Its an honest song, what do you expect

  • @radbanaria rolfmao, what about every rapper, ever? "I'm the shit, I make money, I get laid"

  • @Cb138inRs Nah he meant, the old black eyed peas are singing about the new black eyed peas. Conclusionl The new Bep are complete and utter fails

  • this was on my english quiz....to find the romantic elements

  • jack johnson is unreal and makes the song

  • You look at this... then "Dirty Bit"...

    What happened to the Black Eyed Peas?

  • @Dalaserman They sold out Im like you I love the old shit, but then like most have fallen under the freemasonry who hijacked the music

  • OMFG.

    EVERYONE SHOULD HEAR THIS SONG:)

    Its Amaaazzzzzzzzzzzzingggggg :D

  • for midas haha xx

  • buena cancion mx

  • looks like will.i.am became a victim of his own song

  • This album is the end of the good Peas - and the songs say it them selves "Gone Going", "They Don't Want Music" (They just want boom.. boom.. boom...)

    etc.

  • "download this song for freeee..at youtube promo.commmm.."

  • BEP Sold out.Techno? What happen to their awesome Rap.Man I miss Elephunk and Monkey Buisness being at the top.

  • @Jay167Halo you are soo right i thought i was tje only one

  • Come back black eyed peas! I'm sick of your techno shit!

  • @subtlenight I could not agree more .. tonights gonna be a good night... come on ......

  • Why isn't this so much bigger than their techno/dance crap "Dirty Bit" music?! What's wrong with this song, right?

  • who knew they were predicting their own future?

  • BEP sung this about themselves

  • @sockmaister LOL They dont sing about Material they sold out Dumped rap for POP only to entertain 13yr olds

  • playing with jack Johnson must be like reaching nirvana

  • miss the days when most songs had meaning

  • @lewiskincaid1

    Too right, my friend.

    These days it's all just bullshit.

  • Irony is that BEP has become what they preached against in this song.

  • @KhaoticKristinn One day you will learn that every human on Earth is a hypocrite.

  • I like the original better, but this is also great. I really like the strings

  • i miss the old black eyed peas

  • i definaately wanna do a cover to this song. i love it. and yeah now they definately dont show the same values in there new songs but i still appriciate this song.

  • Love.. just too much!!! :)

    PUMP UP YOUR VOLUME .. you'll see.. its not the same song.. ;P

  • Love.. just too much!!! :)

  • this is awesome! dont ususally listen to black eyed peas but ima start now! real truth being told in this song

  • a song from when black eyed peas was really good - specially this 1 - really love it

  • I was reading something yesterday where Will I Am said "I mind if people call us sellouts because that just means they liked our first album". That really irked me because the reason I liked the first couple albums was because even though they still had silly songs on there like "my humps" and "lets get retarded", they still had plenty of songs on those albums that contained substance. Lyrics from the heart with meaning that stood for something. Their albums now contain nothing but club music

  • The irony is that this song reflects the way they function as a group today. They were once an amazing hip hop group, with lyrics that were inspired by the soul. Now they've gone mainstream, and switched over to a new style that most of their core fans dislike. Nothing is inspired by the heart anymore, it's just to sell more tracks. And now, BEP is losing fans just like the guy in this song.

  • YOU, you got what i neeed, but you say he just a friend. O BABY YOUUUU you got what i need but you say hes just a friend but you say hes just a friend

  • i miss that time when black eyed peas make music with some meaning. nowdays its all like "party everyday".

  • dude i thought it was john mayer the whollleeee time

  • @RevolutionNJWAFilms

    For whatever the reasons...right or wrong...good or bad...People of African Descent are LIGHT YEARS behind the Rest of the Civilized World. Do u deny this? African progress has been one of infestation...not real progress. Do you REALLY believe that we are all "equal"??? If you do...then you are a fool. The concept of Equality...is very similar to the concept of Religion...They Are Both for the Weak. And it comes as no surprise that Africans use both as a crutch.

  • @spankyelmojr You're a racist idiot.People of African descent are just as smart as anyone else.Just because a few smart people in Europe's past made some countries more prosperous doesn't mean that you're smarter.You're born into a rich country with decent leaders.They weren't. It's not their fault that they are poor and have problems.If you had to live there, you wouldn't be any better off.They need help,but some of their problems are from slavery.The world owes them like they owe the natives.

  • @Cari111111

    What??? The world "owes" africans...because of slavery, or whatever??? LOL. In a tragically ironic way...slavery is the best thing to ever happed to africans. Without slavery...africans would not have been exposed to the Civilized World. Without slavery...most africans would be in africa...with their spear chucking brothas and sistas. YOU people...have contributed NOTHING to the greater good. And YOU people Continue to be a Never Ending Burden, on A Global Scale.

  • @spankyelmojr this is absolutely false tho

  • @spankyelmojr  you are a boring person

  • @spankyelmojr i tend to agree

  • @RevolutionNJWAFilms

    I'm not a "hater." I speak the TRUTH. People of African Descent Continue to be a Never Ending Burden, on A Global Scale. Their "progress" has been one of Infestation...Not Real Progress. Crime.Disease.Famine.Welfare..­.etc. Why do u refuse to hold Africans accountable???

  • @spankyelmojr lol you dont know what your talking about so just stop talking, hahaha

  • BLACK EYED PEAS JUST RUINED A PERFECTLY GOOD SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • I love Jack Johnson! but this song doesnt do him justice :/

  • great song

  • this song should only exsist for jack

  • When only jack jonshon sing it

    I like it more than with black eyed peas.

    But nice work guys!

  • @spankyelmojr ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, im pretty sure the black eyed PEAS wrote a song called "where is the love." You sir, are an idiot.

  • @tigrexx123

    Read my comment again...u idiot. Instead of writing songs about peace/love/harmony...The Black Eyed Monkeys should write songs about REALITY. They should write songs about Africans being a Never Ending Burden, on a Global Scale. The Black Eyed Monkeys are PHONY. They are just as materialistic and shallow...as anyone else.

    Now...senorito...here's a nickel...go mow the lawn and clean the toilet. And don't give me no lip...or I will call immigration...LMFAO.

  • @spankyelmojr ok! anything else sir?

  • @tigrexx123

    Yes...I forgot...SHINE MY SHOES...LMFAO. Now...run along senorito...and make yourself useful...if that's even possible. LMFAO.

    Good Day to you Sir,

    SpankyElmoJr (aka King of the Illuminati)

  • @spankyelmojr OK!

  • @spankyelmojr actually this song is real, this is before they made shitty pop music. so before ya diss on them check there old songs.

  • @slipperymidgets

    I envy you. It must be fun...to be so fucking stupid.

  • @spankyelmojr actually its "Fun" to be screwing your mom

  • @slipperymidgets

    You will fail miserably in life...I can see it, as clear as day.

    Take caution in your tone. I will probably be your boss one day.

  • @spankyelmojr ill be your dad before you become my boss

  • @slipperymidgets

    Everything about you...Reeks of Mediocrity.

    The fact that you have nothing better to do...than to jump over garbage bins...Speaks Volumes about You.

    You will fail miserably in life.

  • @spankyelmojr yes im sure you would know what mediocrity smells like, and your right... i get tired of your mom and do need a better bitch. How bout you do us all a favor and go slit your wrist you cock gobbler

  • @slipperymidgets

    LOL...You are so transparent. I can read you like a book...a cheap ass novel. You make a lot of "mom" related jokes...Don't you??? It is obvious that you have "mom" related issues. Don't worry...I am sure she is just as ashamed of you...as you are of her.

  • @spankyelmojr yes quite... and the name of my cheap ass book is life, get used to it buddy. lots of assholes in this world, but thats just to bad isnt it...?

  • byee!!!

  • This song is beautiful and sad and just fantastic. I wish there a video

  • @Sourpiemun thairs oneon the dvd not black eyed peas but jack johnson

  • leave it to jack johnson from now on, please

  • @ hyperness42 how would you know if its a disgrace to jack johnson unless you were him you tard some weird guy commenting about something he clearly knows nothing about :L some people shouldnt be allowed youtube accounts :L

  • This is a disgrace to jack Johnson

  • LOVE THIS SONG. LOVE THE BLACK EYED PEAS. Haters can hate..it doesn't matter..BECAUSE THE BEP'S STILL KICK ASS:)

  • i guess its good. i still like jack johnson, and just jack johnson, but its miles better than what this one faggot did. he combined lady gaga, tpain, and jack johnson, ALL OF THE COMMENTS READ LIKE THIS... THIS FUCKING SUCKS WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING, FUCK YOU!

  • as long as this song will not turn on to BEP , commercial kills creative

    Bep wanna be a big star .. make a lil money buy a fancy car ..

  • this is a really awesome song :) such deep meaning~

  • I respect the Black Eyed Peas. Because they kind of make music like "Where is the Love" etc. But Yeah, Jack Johnson is the best, My musical Inspiration and Role Model :)

  • I love this album. When "Boom Boom Pow" was released, I was really disappointed because it was not at all what I expected them to follow it up with. I can definitely listen to all of the singles off of The E.N.D., but they are way different than this. Their new stuff is just catchy. This album was catchy and deep (sometimes). I can deal with their new stuff, but I hope their next CD is more like this :)

  • This is the bep i love the new bep is Shit

  • <3 <3 <3 how songs should be <3 <3 <3

  • aw hell no. you do not mess with jacks songs!

  • It's sad too see how they do exactly what they critized in this song. Monkey Business was just amazing and then they did Boom boom pow their worse song ever.

    I feel sad when i listen to Monkey Business, I miss the old Black eyed peas

  • i love their music... but idk they changed... now some of their new stuff is kinda crappy...

  • omfg i love jack johnson HES AWESOME he inspires me with my guitar :D

  • download this song for free on youtubepromo. cock

  • Why is it that every fucking video on youtube that has over 300,000 views has to have some bullshit about justin bieber? Im tired of that fucker being everywhere.

  • i love this song so much but it kind of makes me sick to sing the BEP version because it is so wrong like what he's singing is exactly what happened to them so it's just contradicting.

  • i think the old and the new songs are great

  • this is what is happening to will.i.am now :S someone needs to tell him !!

  • I Love Jack Johnson this song is awesome!!

  • This song is ironic, just look at what the Black Eyed Peas are singing now...

  • I didn't know BEP had a good song

  • Jack Johnson must have a lot of regrets for this song...

  • @Chatbiteuh why do you say that?

  • @HumanTargetAus because the black eyed peas have changed. Now they do commercial songs, not like Jack Johnson

  • @Chatbiteuh I don't know what jack johnson is like because i havent heard his individual work. But the peas have changed for the worse

  • this song is so great
