Black Eyed Peas (Pre-Fergie)



Most won't remember Black Eyed Peas pre 'Elephunk', the album that introduced Fergie as a new member of the group. That in my eyes is a crime. Behind the Front was Black Eyed Peas debut album. It is arguably one of the greatest hip-hop debut albums from a group. Driven by production from Wil-I-am, this album broke stereotypes of what West Coast hip hop was all about . It was hip hop at it's purest and transcended coasts at a time when tentions between east and west had reached a boiling point. It's because of this album I've given Black Eyed Peas a lifetime pass for crossing over. Do yourself a favor and check this album out, you will be pleasantly surprised and your ears will be forever grateful.
