Touch of nostalgia: The Black Eyed Peas made the coolest music videos

Black Eyed Peas

Seriously, have you actually watched the music videos of The Black Eyed Peas really well? Weren't they just half movies? Michael Jackson's Thriller, eat your heart out, man. While scrolling on YouTube (you know how it is, those scrolling hours), I ended up watching one BEP clip after another with a high click-through rate. Time for a trip down memory lane.

Where Is The Love?
Starting with the absolute classic. How lovingly can you use your talent to protest against injustice and violence? Rappers using their voice to spread a message that really matters. How I miss these days.


My Humps
Whatcha gonna do with all that junk? All that junk inside that trunk? I’mma get get get get you drunk. Get you love drunk off my hump. The bizarre thing is: I only just realized what I’ve been singing about all this time. Hans pays the damage and Fergie is the girl. Meine gute.

I drive these brothers crazy
I do it on the daily
They treat me really nicely
They buy me all these ice

Dolce and Gabbana
Fendi and Madonna
Caring they be sharin’
All their money got me wearing fly

Anyway, the clip itself, the outfits, the attitude, and Fergie's humps: it's still worth checking out.


Boom Boom Pow
These people really made our youth one big hit parade, didn’t they? I’m so 3008, you’re so 2000-and-late. That autotune, that cybershit, that robot clip: the BEP was once again ahead of their time, just like true pioneers do.


Don’t Phunk With My Heart
That whole old-fashioned game show vibe, those oooooutfits. This is not just a music video, people, a story is being told here. This is art. And how much I would love to be buddies with Fergie & co.
