Black Eyed Peas Sell Out ... Again

Whenever the Black Eyed Peas' credibility is called into question - they get real defensive. "What's so fabricated about live musicians freestyling onstage or MCs doing the same thing?" Fergie asked Paper last year. "Here I am, feeling that this is the most pure thing I've done in my life. And people call it selling out. I've gotten over trying to be accepted by all people. I am what I am. And [the Black Eyed Peas] are what we are." That's what you get though for rappin' "Money is a drug/and MC's is on it," as the Peas did on "Bringin' It Back," and then showing yourselves to be all about the money. The Peas' latest achievement in their shamelessness is a tour called The Honda Civic Tour - which kicked off last month. According to Honda's website, "BEP joined the Civic Tour to promote environmental consciousness with the Civic Hybrid and to perform a series of riveting concerts for their fans." I was totally wrong ... it wasn't about the money - it was about promoting environmental consciousness. My apologies to all the Peas.

Die, BEP, Die!

Call me the button pusher ... I feel like I become the Incredible Hulk ever time their name comes up.

They are still a bunch of manufactured losers. Fergie is sexy when she dances, though.

Good cross promotion, this band is turning into a real trainwreck.

My comments don't make sense anymore. I meant that it's a good cross promotion as the band is a carwreck that I can't look away from and they are promoting cars.
