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.

[Chorus: x2]
The lyrics to Black Eyed Peas' song "Hot" are all about the power and energy of music. The first verse describes the way that a great performance can bring people together, with everyone moving in sync to the beat. But it's not just about having a good time - the lyrics also suggest that music can be a way to cope with difficult emotions like depression. The second verse is all about the skill and confidence of the rapper, who is ready to take on anyone who challenges them. They describe themselves as an "eagle" with "alligator patience," suggesting that they are both strong and patient. The chorus is all about celebrating the power of music and the amazing feeling it can create.
One of the interesting things about this song is the way that it combines different styles of music. The beat is heavily influenced by hip hop, but there are also elements of funk and soul. The Black Eyed Peas are known for their ability to blend different genres in their music, and this song is a great example of that.
Another interesting fact about "Hot" is that it was released as a single, but it was not included on any of the Black Eyed Peas' studio albums. Instead, it was included on a compilation album called "Bridging the Gap."
The song was produced by will.i.am, who is one of the founding members of the Black Eyed Peas. He has produced many of the group's biggest hits, including "Let's Get It Started" and "Boom Boom Pow."
The music video for "Hot" was directed by Malik Hassan Sayeed, who has also worked with artists like Beyoncé and Jay-Z. The video combines live footage of the Black Eyed Peas performing with animated graphics that reflect the song's energetic vibe.
The song was a minor hit in the United States, peaking at number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. However, it was more successful in other countries, particularly in Europe and Australia.
The Black Eyed Peas performed "Hot" on several TV shows, including "The Late Show with David Letterman" and "Top of the Pops."
The song was included on the soundtrack for the 2004 movie "Mean Girls." The Black Eyed Peas also contributed a song called "Pump It" to the soundtrack.
The chords for "Hot" are not readily available, as the song was primarily produced with electronic instruments and a heavily sampled beat. However, musicians who are interested in playing the song could try to recreate the beat and add their own instruments on top. It would likely be very challenging to try to replicate the exact sound of the original recording.
