When William was sixteen years old, he started rapping in late 1991 under the name "Will-1X" after being discovered by Compton rapper and former N.W.A. leader Eazy-E and signed a deal to Eazy's Ruthless Records. will.i.am's first rap song was "Merry Muthafuckin' Xmas" from Eazy-E's 1992 EP 5150: Home 4 tha Sick. Shortly after Eazy-E's death in 1995, Will left Ruthless to start a group that would later be called the Black Eyed Peas with fellow rappers Taboo and apl.de.ap.
After the addition of singer-songwriter Fergie, the group shot into mainstream pop consciousness with a set of hit singles in the mid-00s, popularity that continues to this day. The Black Eyed Peas' producer is Sergio Mendes, an internationally successful Brazilian musician and jazz aficionado. In September 2007, will.i.am took a major step into a solo career identity by joining with his record label, Universal Music Group (UMG), on a pilot scheme to reward certain file-sharing with cash incentives, including will.i.am tracks from his then upcoming release Songs About Girls.
In total, he has released four solo albums: Lost Change (2001), Must B 21 (2003), Songs About Girls (2007), and #willpower (2013). Although often facing mixed critical reviews, he's experienced significant commercial success, including a set of popular singles. His solo performances, featuring collaborations with a wide group of artists including Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Phife Dawg, Snoop Dogg, and Nicole Scherzinger, are perhaps best summed up in the international top 20 mega-hit "Scream & Shout".
Will.i.am was also recently cast as John Wraith in the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a prequel to the X-Men movie series. And if one enjoyed Madagascar 2's chunky hippo, Moto Moto, then one should know that the deep voice belonged will.i.am., who came in after he was ''pimped'' out to the directors by his friend and sometimes collaborator Justin Timberlake.
Before joining the Black Eyed Peas, Will.i.am attended the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles. In 2001, he began designing his own signature clothing line, i.am, which made its official debut in 2005 at the Magic apparel trade show in Las Vegas. In 2007, Will.i.am teamed up with Blue Holdings to design a premium denim collection, i.am Antik, that had its debut on the Project Show in Las Vegas. He has also designed clothing for the Black Eyed Peas.
In January 2008, will.i.am helped write a song, "Yes We Can", in support of the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign of Barack Obama, which in turn became a music video directed by Jesse Dylan. The lyrics of the song are composed almost entirely of excerpts from Obama's speech on January 8, 2008, following the New Hampshire presidential primary election. The video features appearances from numerous celebrities like Scarlett Johansson, Tatyana Ali, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriguez, Kelly Hu, Hill Harper, Amber Valletta, Eric Balfour, Aisha Tyler, Nicole Scherzinger, Nick Cannon, Bryan Greenberg, Common and first appeared on the website for Dipdive, and within a week of its appearance racked up three million views, and over four million views on Youtube.
On February 29, 2008, a second video titled "We Are The Ones" was released on Dipdive and YouTube. It included cameo appearances from Jessica Alba, Ryan Phillippe, Kerry Washington, John Leguizamo, Regina King, Tyrese Gibson, Eric Mabius, Tichina Arnold, Adrienne Palicki, comedian George Lopez, and singers Macy Gray, Zoe Kravitz and Black Eyed Peas’ Taboo. The video features everyone chanting "O-BA-MA" as a portrayal as their hopes and wishes for Obama and his presidential campaign.
In 2013, will.i.am released his album "#thatpower".

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you did any good
You've got more flaw then flutter
But not a chance to get that through to you
I won't tell the brothers
And I can't blame you
But the next time there's a window
Yellow lights have crashed more cars
Than old men filled with brandy
So I'll DUI my way through the dim lit roads of Bruges
To get that through
It's hard to look away, see you thinking maybe
If we just played this another way
It might have been so much more than just a hot summer
It's hard to look away, see you thinking maybe
If we just played this another way
It might have been so much more than just a hot summer
So god damn hot in here, fuck
I'm like sweating from my top to my crack
Like a penguin in July on the beach of Costa Rica baby
Yellow lights have crashed more cars
Than old men filled with brandy
So I'll DUI my way through the dim lit roads of Bruges
To get that through
It's hard to look away, see you thinking maybe
If we just played this another way
It might have been so much more than just a hot summer
It's hard to look away, see you thinking maybe
If we just played this another way
It might have been so much more than just a hot summer
Take it to the break
Take a break from this heat
And we gonna do that with some cool jams
You cool me down Seanie boy
Sploosh
Block it, shock it, shun it
Block it, shock it, shun it
Block it, shock it, shove it up a monkey
Loving like a siren, I keep it funky
You keep flashing your yellow lights
Causing nothing but fatal doubts and if I ever get corny
It's just cause I'm horny for another night
It's hard to look away, see you thinking maybe
If we just played this another way
It might have been so much more than just a hot summer
It's hard to look away, see you thinking maybe
If we just played this another way
It might have been so much more than just a hot summer

If you love it like I love it
And you feel what I feel inside
If you want it like I want it
Then, baby, let's get it tonight
If you feel it, say hell yeah (hell yeah)
Say hell yeah (hell yeah)
Say hell yeah (hell yeah)
This is love, this is love, this is love
Can you feel the love?

This is love, this is love, this is love
This is love for the beats
Steal it in the streets
Love for the melody, no song is cheap
The dope crusader, funky terminator
I created me a rocker just so we could rock it later
And the wait up, beat is knocking
Got me feeling, alright, cause the dj got me walking on a steeler
I got a rocket full of gold, mami's just gold
I fill it up and love it, and then I watch it explode
If you love it like I love it
And you feel what I feel inside
If you want it like I want it
Then, baby, let's get it tonight
If you feel it, say hell yeah (hell yeah)

This is love for the bass, and love for the treble
Love for the orchestra, violinchello
Love for computer beat, hotter than metal
House beat housing, bouncing in the ghetto
We sip till we smash it, feeling alright
And we rock the ghetto blaster, rocking all night
I sent a rocket to the globe, armor just stole
I fill it up and love it, and then I watch it explode
Eh, baby, yeah, alright
Can you feel it?
Good God, yeah, alright
Can you feel the love?
Can you feel the love?
Can you feel the love?
This is love, this is love, this is love
This is love, this is love, this is love

@@abdelhalimyahya9791 Judging the entertainers righteously:
they are:
DECEIVERS
MTFs and FTMs
cowards
masons puppets
greedy
in love of all lies
demon possessed
members of one big club: FREEMASONRY
And they all let us know, by placing the masonic hand signs and symbols into all music videos, movies, concerts, magazines, album covers…..
(As if judging is often unjust by many, so is free speech willed with nonsense , because of the lack of knowledge. 1st go and gain KNOWLEDGE, which you missing and then worry about you being allowed to judge and speak free or not. Take a listen around the world, many are just noise makers, having no knowledge about that they talk about, nobody truly listens them. These 2 verses describe perfectly many human souls situation:
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Job 34:35 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.)
