Just sitting here listening to the radio and "My Humps" comes on, awful song but great for the novalty factor #I mix your milk with my cocoa puffs, milky milky cocoa Puffs" and thats to say the least.

Anyway never got the album but some of the singles from elephunk were Good, not brilliant but good. I was never a fan of theres (although knew of them and songs like Request Line) before but if i had have been i would be even more angry. and of coarse their the typical 'Sell outs' of hip hop with the introduction of fergie. The went from being an underground hip hop act to a teeny bopper crap act. they just won best Pop at the EMA's.

I want to hear from the people who were fans of them before fergie came along and ruined them like an incontinent man would ruin a new pair of CK jeans if he went commando in them.

I'm gone behind being pissed off at there songs now i just listen and laugh, and "my humps" says it all

my humps has a great video, that's all I'll say about it.

Yeah they were quite good, now they are quite bad.
My Hump is one of the worst songs I have ever heard, it actually makes me mad when I hear it. Nothing to do with the fact it's BEP just the fact that it's terrible.
Bridging the Gap and Behind the Front are pretty good albums, and the newer stuff really pales in comparison.
Regardless of Fergie, had Justin Timberlake not been on Where Is The Love? I don't think they would be enjoying the success they have now. They are however, one of the best examples of sell outs.

worst skangery song ever. That explains its 3rd position in uk charts. Hate it with a passion

yeah i was a fan from when i first heard 'fallin up' off their first album. its a bit of a farce now. with my humps with all the label dropping crap, gucci, etc...its a total sell out. when they first came out they actually state in their lyrics about how they didn't wear labelled clothes,etc...their music always had a kind of commercial sound to it in general, but nowhere near the same extent they are now. Not that i'll complain too much, i don't buy their new albums, but fergie certainly makes for pleasant viewing. when they first came onto the scene they were support for easy e and nwa, so its a bit ridiculous to see them dropping the extremely commercial stuff too. Behind the Front is a decent enough album, with some good club style stuff, which still sounds fresher than alot of the club hip-hop you hear now.

Just hope The Roots don't go the same direction now that they've signed to Def Jam

chiller

oh so glad someone brought this thread up.Its so ironic the way they go on about not wearing lables etc in their first album,yet in that video lets get it started,they're blatently endorsing a sony mobile.sell outs.

Behind the front is an amazing album,excellent lyrics and great loops and beats.Was so disapointed when they went mainstream.Shame they had to get that chick in and sell the whole plce out.

Omnipresence

These are possibly the single worst act in the top of the mainstream at the moment... (of which there are many) .... I mean its like a 5 year old writes the lyrics... rhyming for the sake of it... guess it appeals to the lowest common denominator...

lets see ... this should give an idea of their song writing ... er .. talent...

all this talk of .... lumps
is giving me the.... mumps

f**k sake ...

If people have to listen to mainstream stuff... why not sommat like the new Gorillaz single... with yer man from pharcyde... real bloody rap/hip-hop

micromegas

Pretty much the worst thing ever.

Klimseven

has anyone else thought just how unsexy 'lady lumps' sounds? F uckin hell sounds more like a tumor than anything else, what a turn on...

When I first saw that video, I though it was phone advert:rolleyes:

Still, My Humps may be rubbish but it makes me shake my thang
