This was a VERY FUN music video to work on. The Peas were very nice, friendly and fun ( Tab was kinda stand offish or just - chill and laid back - doesn’t say much ) but it was a blast. Background actors and crew and all. The club scene was shot at a little bar right across the street from NBC studios in Burbank.
Before Fergie the had a female vocalist named Kim Hill however she quit when the industry wanted to sort of sexualise her. 8:29 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KkSDNxM1w58.html
This is the good stuff. Love me some old school BEP. I was introduced to the talented Esthero the first time I heard this song. It doesn't have to be a 3-day weekend to listen. Put this jam in your ear.
i think the first two albums had more message,lyrical prowess, and soul, the next two had more musical appeal but still had message, and the latest two are dance albums for the clubbers and party rockers. All in all i liek them all and enjoy seeing them grow and change
I think these guys were just ahead of their time when they first came out. People were probably like "what the fuck is this shit?" This ain't gangsta rap; this ain't party music (which were booming back then). If they would of came out with this stuff now, they would be killing it right now.
I agree with you that this stuff is incredible - and incredibly underrated - but I don't agree that this isn't party music. I can barely resist dancing to this jam - and sometimes I even fail in that ;-)
@redphoenix0910 it felt a bit dated and commercial to me back then? Almost like they were produced to fill a spot on the Cafe Del Mar albums they played in cafes a few years before.
Eu me esqueci completamente da existência dessa música desde a minha infância e hoje em 2022 um vídeo aleatório do TikTok me relembrou dela. Que bom ter voltado aqui.
e eu aqui que, quando criança, amava black eyed peas pq conheci do elephunk pra frente e nem dava chance pras anteriores, hoje virei completamente ao contrário. na verdade, eu não fazia ideia da existência desses dois primeiros álbuns, to ouvindo agora e pqp... só tem ouro. por um lado é bom eu não ter ouvido até hoje, sabe. é uma sensação maravilhosa descobrir música boa
Esthero is awesome ,met her a long time ago at canadas wonderland backstage, i was on break working by and i heard she was there. She offered me food lol
This is the Peas that I love. I've got nothing wrong with their newer stuff (aka when they added Fergie), but everything post then was just awesome hip-hop music...song you wanted to groove to. Always felt like they hid their rhyming/rapping ability a bit as well as time went on, which makes me sad.
+Brett Van Boven Totally agree with you pal. As for me, I GOT something wrong with their new stuff which is no less than lame-ass mainstream pop vomit to which they sold out... Fuck Fergie, she was just brought in to reach pre-teen audience. The BLACK Eyed Peas man. What's so wrong to have an all black band these days? This song is REAL funky party hip-hop. The new stuff like this crappy Dirty Dancing bit just makes me wanna break something.
+Daniel Rondeau Fergie actually respected their hip hop talent and helped bring the song "Like That" and "Mas Que Nada" it wasn't until Will went on some Sydney trip and loved their music so much that he wanted to incorporate it into their next album which helped produce The E.N.D and The Beginning
Agree their old stuff is class. Also I actually liked Elephunk, (first album with Fergie) think it's a great album. Just everything after that wasn't so great.
I remember watching this for the first time thinking Taboo was the coolest guy I've ever seen on TV. 20years later, I still haven't felt that way about anyone else.
Mannnnnn just watched Underclassman w/Nick Cannon. Had to DEF search out this song... Dannnng! Black Eyed Peas did it on this one💃💃💃💃💃💃💃 STRAIGHT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 A straight Bang'a‼️‼️‼️
Now this is the real Black Eyed Peas I know and love. Not that I Got A Feeling, Boom Boom Boom bullshit. This was the kick ass shit they made before they went kiddie pop on us.
[Verse 1] I called Tab on Wednesday night So we could make plans for Thursday night He said "we could go hit the peapods" I was like yeah, that's my favorite spot Plus I like it there, 'cause I got love on the list High powered juice, where I don't even get frisked Walk up in the place and get love from the misses Pounds from my brothers, 'cause they knowing that this is The place to be to let it all out But when the weekend come, the weekend come, y'all could come So go tell ya momma come and ya papa come Go to spin the record so we can get dumb Place packed, capacity maximum Due to my man Polo Promotion And I can't wait to go out and hear some [Chorus: Esthero] Jumping music, swift DJ's Smoke machines and laser rays Look out weekend 'cause, here I come Because weekends were, werrrre [Verse 2] Walk in the club at like 10 o' clock And the spot is hot, blowing up rooftops Its Thursday night and the night is young Four day weekend, time to have some fun DJ's cut it up, drop them joints Everybody's been waiting to dance and make noise B-Boys, let me see you break it down And ladies, let your hips move around Its the sound of the BEP family Got a poet named Life and a sister Kimy (worrrrd up) And the Blood of Abraham (worrrrd up) So let's get ready for the jam [Chorus: Esthero] Jumping music, swift DJ's Smoke machines and laser rays Look out weekend 'cause, here I come Because weekends were, were [Bridge] It was a Thursday night and the party was bumpin' And the bass was thumpin' and people was jumpin' And taboo's at the front door comin' Taboo's at the front door coming And And (here he come now) And Nah, nah, nah [Verse 3] Yo, Mister Will.i.am (Mister Will.i.am) When oh when (Mister Will.i.am) Get our boogie on when the weekend COME Check the peapod, cuz the vibes is STRONG Selenas, Philipinas, they come one by ONE All lined up, and they ready for FUN Short one's, tall one's, beautiful ONES B-boys, B-girls, ready to WHAT Breaking and shaking when we doing our ish J Rocc from the Beat Junkies ready to mix Cuz they cuttIng up the wax for everybody Come on over cuz were having a party We lighting up the sky with the burning STAR Throw your hands in the air, if you know who you ARE Cuz we jumpin' around with the Broshigeez And get blessed by the beat pharmacy 'Cause they hittin you with [Chorus: Esthero] Jumping music, swift DJ's Smoke machines and laser rays Look out weekend 'cause, here I come Because weekends were, were Word up Word up Look out weekend 'cause, here I come Because weekends were, were
this was the first BEP song I ever heard, I was like wow, I remember immediately sending a message through MSN chats to a couple of my friends in the States and they were like, "I never heard of them, but it sounds like you like it" (there was no RU-vid back then so I couldn´t just send a link)
@alahmara1 Esthero is one of the best under rated singers. She doesn't get the props she deserves. I love her voice and I can't wait for her new CD to come out.
I think the core hip hop music crowd preferred pre ferg. We smoked tough with them at bumpershoot back in like 99 I wanna say. Outside key arena they were sitting around back on the stairs. My buddy stuck a nug of sweet tooth in his hand and went over and said yo smell this haha. Was pretty cool. Back when they were on the rise.
This was back when BEP produced sick tracks with respectable hooks. My friends and I used to bump this shit hard every day after school. Too bad pop stardom killed one of my favorite hip hop groups of the 90's.
Yes, Esthero wasn't in the band, just doing this song. Lookout Weekend by Debbie Deb that this song was based on is from 1983. Even early BEP music is just something old made new.
Before Fergie there was also in period in which they had a female vocalist named Kim Hill. However she quit when the industry wanted to sort of sexualise her. 8:29 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KkSDNxM1w58.html
Dla tego kawałka łapka w górę, ale nie zmienia to faktu, że całe BEP z Will.I.Am'emem na czele, to największe sprzedawczyki rapu, nawet nie wiem jak można tak nisko upaść. Powinni im wyrżnąć za to serca.
