- Black Eyed Peas
Grup de R&B, Pop i Hip hop de Los Ángeles (EUA) format per Will.I.Am, Apl.de.Ap, Taboo i Fergie. Will.I.Am y Apl.de.Ap es van conéixer el 1989 i van crear un dúo de soul i hip hop. Al cap d’un temps es va unir Taboo i el 1998 arribà el disc de debut del grup. En aquella època els tres Mc’s rimaven i tenien una banda que els acompanyava. El grup és comparat sovint amb altres bandes com The Roots, Jurassic 5, Jungle Brothers, De La Soul o A tribe Called Quest. Sempre s’han declarat les influenciats per Digable Planets, Stereolab i Portishead. En el tercer disc el trio es transforma en quartet i s’incorpora la vocalista Fergie. Fins al moment guanyat 6 premis Grammy i han venut 56 milions de discs. Un grup de plena actualitat i compromès en les seves lletres. Parla alt sobre les injustícies del món i té un potencial suficient per influir i contagiar al seu públic de valors més positius.
Shut up Gran tema inclòs en el disc Elephunk de 2003, el primer àlbum que participa Fergie. Shut up és un bon exemple del que vol aconseguir aquest grup: crear cançons vàlides per la ràdio com pel club o discoteca més moderna de qualsevol lloc unint milers de referències i influències musicals. Aquesta setmana és una petició de l’ Eva de 6è que és unes de les seguidores més actives i entusiastes del bloc. Gràcies i…tots a ballar!

Shut up
Just shut up
Shut up [3x]
Shut it up, just shut up
Shut up
Just shut up
Shut up [3x]
Shut it up, just shut up
We try to take it slow
But we’re still losin control
And we try to make it work
But it still isn’t the worst
And I’m craaazzzy
For tryin to be your laaadddy
I think I’m goin crazy
Girl, me and you were just fine (you know)
We wine and dine
Did them things that couples do when in love (you know)
Walks on the beach and stuff (you know)
Things that lovers say and do
I love you boo, I love you too
I miss you a lot, I miss you even more
That’s why I flew you out
When we was on tour
But then something got out of hand
You start yellin when I’m with my friends
Even though I had legitimate reasons (bull shit)
You know I have to make them evidence (bull shit)
How could you trust our private lives girl
That’s why you don’t believe my lies
And quit this lecture
We try to take it slow
But we’re still losin control
And we try to make it work
But it still isn’t the worst
And I’m craaazzzy
For tryin to be your laaadddy
I think I’m goin crazy
Why does he know she gotta move so fast
Love is progress if you could make it last
Why is it that you just lose control
Every time you agree on takin it slow
So why does it got to be so damn tough
Cuz fools in lust could never get enough of love
Showin him the love that you be givin
Changing up your livin
For a lovin transistion
Girl lip so much she tryin to get you to listen
Few mad at each other has become our tradition
You yell, I yell, everybody yells
Got neighbors across the street sayin
“Who the hell?!?”
Who the hell?
What the hell’s going down?
Too much of the bickering
Kill it with the sound and
We try to take it slow
But we’re still losin control
And we try to make it work
But it still isn’t the worst
And I’m craaazzzy
For tryin to be your laaadddy
I think I’m goin crazy
Girl our love is dyin
Why can’t you stop tryin
I never been a quitah
But I do deserve betta
Believe me I will do bad
Let’s forget the past
And let’s start this new plan
Why? Cuz it’s the same old routine
And then next week I hear them scream
Girl I know you’re tired of the things they say
You’re damn right
Cuz I heard them lame dame excuses just yesterday
That was a different thing
No it ain’t
That was a different thing
No it ain’t
That was a different thing
It was the same damn thing
Same ass excuses
Boy you’re usless
Whhoooaaaa
We try to take it slow
But we’re still losin control
And we try to make it work
But it still isn’t the worst
And I’m craaazzzy
For tryin to be your laaadddy
I think I’m goin crazy
Stop the talking baby
Or I start walking baby
Is that all there is [x2]
