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".

What if these locks allow
This is what I'm dreaming 'bout
It's a long shot, but I'll take it
Long way, but I'll make it
But if these locks allow
This is what I'm dreaming 'bout
I said
Hey, I wanna make you mine
Hey, I wanna make you mine
I wanna make you mine
I can't seem to love another
I got bubbles inside my head
Loose tongue spitting out
This is what I'm dreaming 'bout
Am I missing or not?
Got my head stuck like a junkie
But if these locks allow
This is what I'm dreaming 'bout
I said
Ay! I wanna make you mine
Ay! I wanna make you mine
I wanna make you mine
I can't seem to love another
You and I are not so easily breaking
We're just living our lives
Keeping ourselves to
You and I are not so easily broken
We're just losing our minds
And breaking the silence
Ay!
I wanna make you mine
I wanna make you mine
I wanna make you mine
Ay!
I wanna make you mine
I wanna make you mine
I wanna make you mine

@LordReynardTheFox
This song hits different after a break up, you don't notice some parts.
the music tricks us into thinking it's a happy song, though it's really not.
"That you are gone and I'm a mess, and i'll Hurt you and you'll Hurt me"
"Make you mine"
You can Never make someone Love you, it always has to be given.
"Well take it slow, I Miss you so"
he's singing for his love that's gone, thinks all they need is time.
"it's hard to feel you slipping through my fingers are so numb"
he's losing the love they had he wants it back.
"How was I supposed to know that you were Not the one"
ouch, he's admitting his love is not The One, they are not right for each other,
yet he still keeps holding on.

The reason why i watched this 100+ times
i used to have a friend called Noah, we knew eachother since birth and have gone thru everything together, he has helped me with panic attacks and suicidal thoughts, me and Noah were the closest friends ever, nobody could get between us or stop us from being friends. We used to do ship cosplays and go to our favorite spot, Rabbit Rocks, a hill on the side of a canal at the North West of England. 23rd of March 2019 is when we separated..... 22nd was fine, i never noticed anything unusual and by then i was getting the courage to ask him out, that night, i was practicing my line and how i would win his heart.... i went to his house the following morning..... his mum came to the door crying and i asked ''what's wrong? where's Noah?'' but then she looked at me then down again, i immediately knew what happened so i broke down crying and hugged her tightly, we were like that for probably 30mins or so....
So you may be wondering now, how has this got anything to do with me listening to this song so much.... well... when we went to rabbit rocks we would sing this together and watch the sunset and cuddle for a little while.... it was our favorite song... this song means so much to me, so whenever i listen to this i remember my childhood and all of my memories of noah... the memories would flash before my eyes before i snap back to reality and throw a crying fit and have an anxiety/panic attack....
Message for Noah: i am aware you arent reading this bu... i miss you and i love you so much... i dont know why youre gone and if its my fault then im sorry for whatever i have done.... i hope we meet again someday.... in another form.... (for those wondering, he’s dead)
@alo3728
May you find happiness and peace 🙏
@roostlol6118
I hope you see him again.
