The Black Eyed Peas Cover Rollingstone Mag...



The Black Eyed Peas Take cover on the latest issue of Rollingstone magazine. The topic of choice for the latest magazine is "40 Reasons To Be Excited About Music"

To prove the point, the Rolling Stone staff assembled a rundown of the 40 top reasons to be excited about music right now, starting with our cover stars, the Black Eyed Peas, a group that has perfected the art of global domination thanks to the brilliant maneuvering of philosophical leader Will.i.am. The producer/rapper/friend-of-Bono tells Chris Norris about his theory that music works in circles, not squares (the proof: the success of the 45; the failure of the 8-track), the moment he realized an electro album would be a blockbuster (see: The E.N.D.), and how it’s possible to make a whole song a chorus. “Lots of people say, ‘Black Eyed Peas shit is simple,’ and I’ll be like, ‘No, fool, it’s the most complex shit you even could fathom, that’s the reason it works everywhere around the planet,” Will.i.am says..

Well I guess he told you huh? The Black Eyed Peas have had an amazing run with their latest Effort "The E.N.D" The album gave the group their first, second, and third US number one hits with "Boom Boom Pow", "I Gotta Feeling", and "Imma Be"" which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 12, 14, and 2 weeks respectively. The third single, "Meet Me Halfway", along with the first two, topped several charts around the world including the United Kingdom and Australia....But what kind of pressure should they feel going into their next album? PHEW!!
