Black Eyed Peas went to centenary state high school and got their start in 1988 when will.i.am (born 1975 William James Adams Jr.) and apl.de.ap (born 1974 Allan Pineda) began rapping and performing together around Los Angeles. The pair signed to Ruthless Records (run by Eazy-E) after catching the attention of the nephew of Jerry Heller (Eazy-E's manager). Along with Mookie Mook (Burning Star), Dante Santiago & DJ Motiv8, they called their group A.T.B.A.N. Klann. Their debut album, 'Grass Roots', was not released originally because Ruthless did not consider the social themes reflected in the group's music to be marketable to their audience. A single "Puddles of H2O" was released in 1994 but no album was released (until it leaked onto the Internet in the mid 2000s).
After Eazy-E died of an AIDS related illness in 1995, they changed their name to Black Eyed Peas; will.i.am explained on the front cover of the Monkey Business album that "Black Eyed Peas are food for the soul", hence the name. will.i.am has cited the Red Hot Chili Peppers as an influence and said he named his band after a food, like them. They replaced their original third member Mookie, with Dante Santiago the Peas original singer. Then Taboo (born Jaime Gomez) joined the group. Dante Santiago took on a role as a guest vocalist in the band and featured frequently on various tracks for their first four albums.
In 1996, they produced and appeared on a song entitled "That's Right" for Brian Austin Green's hip-hop album One Stop Carnival. Later, they began using Kim Hill as a steady background singer. Unlike many hip-hop acts, they chose to perform with a live band and adopted a musical and clothing style that differed wildly from the "gangsta rap" sounds of other Los Angeles-based hip-hop acts at the time. Through the mid-'90s, they performed in the local club circuit alongside fellow acts such as Ozomatli and Jurassic 5.
The group were signed to Interscope Records and released their debut, "Behind the Front", in 1998. The album won the group (and their accompanying live band, the Bucky Jonsons) critical acclaim. The album featured the single "Joints & Jams", which was included on the Bulworth soundtrack. Their second album, "Bridging the Gap", was released in 2000; it featured the single "Request + Line" featuring Macy Gray.
After replacing their female background singer with Fergie, the group released their breakout album, "Elephunk", and their 2005 album, "Monkey Business", which featured the hit singles "Pump It", "Don't Phunk With My Heart", "Don't Lie" and "My Humps".
"The E.N.D. (The Energy Never Dies)", their fifth album, was released worldwide in June 2009 and has managed to sell 5 million copies in 8 months (Elephunk: 7 million, Monkey Business: 10 million). It already spawned 2 of the most downloaded singles of all time: "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling", both were downloaded 5 million times only in the USA. The 3rd single "Meet Me Halfway" was downloaded 2 million times and the 4th "Imma Be", which was just released, already sold 1 million. "Rock That Body" is the 5th single.

Let's have a good time

Okay, I see a lot of people around
Today, we gonna show you how we get down
Come on, pull out the radio for the sound
The town, we been waitin' for, shakin' the ground
The ground, the ground you best believe will get shook
And a group, is gonna catch a fire cause what?
We burn, we burn the switch straight to the floor
We doin' it to you, be like don't do it no more
It's for real, plus everybody's dressed up to kill
I see a lot of ladies in a satin so ill
Yo Will, (what?) get the mic and perform (okay)
Everybody's been waitin' for the Peas to get on
[Chorus]

Let your body speak, socialize
Get down, let your soul lead the way
Break it down, go ladies, it's a livin' thing
Love like this, okay
Now that you up and free, do what you feel, just rock
We about to run through your block
Dishin' out the Peas so you know that we hot
“Oi, vey,” that's what the Selenas will say
They askin' if the Jimmy could come out and play
Uh huh, my brothers could collaborate strong
Uh, huh, so everything we had could last long
Perform, abilities to make up a bump
Ba bump, we makin' radio speakers bump
We got frequencies to blow up your trunk in
You wantin' some more of this somethin'
You ain't getting' nothin' ‘til you shake your bump in
Go go get funky, just jump in
'Cause the Black Eyed Pease will bring the action
Everlasting satisfaction
Radioactive highway action
System overload, heavily maxim'
