...is so unbelievably, embarassingly bad. They should be rounded up and imprisoned.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 22 October 2005 16:37 (nineteen years ago)

Agreed. And just recently I found out it was them who created this sewage.

van igloo (van smack), Saturday, 22 October 2005 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

To be fair, Alex, your description applies to *every* Black Eyes Peas song.

King Money (King Money), Saturday, 22 October 2005 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

I saw the video around 7am this morning, and practically spat up all over the television.

"My lovely lady lumps"

It's pretty awful, and awfully popular. They are the porn Fugees.

Good old Black Eyed Pees.

I'm genuinely surprised she hasn't taken her own life in the wake of that photo's impressively far-reaching circulation.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 22 October 2005 17:09 (nineteen years ago)

never mind the stains, what's up with her knees?

If you're willing to sing such shite songs, why would she worry about the stain on her pants?

The things on her knee is the LFI logo that goes throughout the pic. But that doesn't explain what's going on between her legs. EWWWWW

kornrulez6969 (TCBeing), Saturday, 22 October 2005 17:44 (nineteen years ago)

have you ever seen the Best Buy ad where the guy goes "You can control the Black Eyed Peas with the touch of a button", then the BEP shuck and jive at the touch of his remote?

Gee, You Knit? (mookie wilson), Saturday, 22 October 2005 19:09 (nineteen years ago)

haha I kind of like it.

Sundar (sundar), Saturday, 22 October 2005 19:22 (nineteen years ago)

They should be rounded up and imprisoned.

Ha! A strangely mild wish.

am i the only person who thinks CANCER when i hear the phrase "lady lumps"?

Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Sunday, 23 October 2005 00:55 (nineteen years ago)

I had the exact same reaction.

joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Sunday, 23 October 2005 00:57 (nineteen years ago)

I think "lovely lady lumps" may very well be the unsexiest way to describe "tits and ass" in the history of the written word.

Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Sunday, 23 October 2005 01:31 (nineteen years ago)

Same here. Immediately. If anyone EVER refers to my round parts as "lumps," they will promptly get a swift kick in the heehaw. Note to BEP: there is no hope for feminism to reclaim the word "lumps" and thus condone your usage of the word. For one thing, it's a fucking ugly word.

Je4nn3 ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Sunday, 23 October 2005 01:34 (nineteen years ago)

See also this.

What I really want to hear is a mashup combining "My Humps" with "Pumps and a Bump" by the post-MC Hammer. Any takers?

Doctor Casino, Sunday, 23 October 2005 03:08 (nineteen years ago)

my gosh...is that sweat or urine in that picture?

Grell (Grell), Sunday, 23 October 2005 03:18 (nineteen years ago)

quite possibly the worst song I have ever heard. taken alone, the music, lyrics, and singing would make any song horrible but together they create a whirlwind of shitosity that is truly breathtaking.

oops (Oops), Sunday, 23 October 2005 04:02 (nineteen years ago)

Isn't "lump" George Bush's pet name for Laura?

gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Sunday, 23 October 2005 04:07 (nineteen years ago)

Now that I think about it...

Hip-hop IS about claiming terriotory in language (I believe Todd Boyd uses the example "to hate" on something is way to cut through the BS of being negative and getting right to the core of what the intention is).

This being said, there is NO WORD in the english language (that I can think of at least) that accurately sums up "tits and ass" in one syllable or less.

Conversely, Black Eyed Peas could be totally making a statement on male sexuality, how it's focused mainly on "lumps." Reducing these object of such desire dehumanizes the person who desires them... kind of like saying to a pothead, "Dude, you really like a fucking PLANT that much?" The Peas are looking men dead in the eye and saying, "Hey, you're gonna get all hot and bothered over HUMPS?"

I liked them better when they were all granola.

Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Sunday, 23 October 2005 05:45 (nineteen years ago)

"curves" comes to mind, but it's more about frame than specifics

This being said, there is NO WORD in the english language (that I can think of at least) that accurately sums up "tits and ass" in one syllable or less.

There is also no word that rightly expresses how much I dislike BEP.
If there is no word, maybe they've just should've NOT made the song.

I really expected to be tarred and feathered by the usual suspects for this thread. I'm so glad my ire is shared by you all. I feel all warm and fuzzy in our shared hatred for that which is bad.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 23 October 2005 11:42 (nineteen years ago)

Has Fergie always been so utterly and completely in control of this group?

This is the type of song that seems perfect for guilty pleasure status. It's profoundly stupid, wonderfully catchy, and loads of fun. BUT I HATE IT SO.

miccio (miccio), Sunday, 23 October 2005 13:31 (nineteen years ago)

the album is always played at my gym.... its fuckin terrible...

theres a song which bites walk like an egyptian, which is shit and the one with the pulp fiction sample ( in 2005!!!), makes me want to just give up and let my soul leave my body and go to a better place.

the worse thing is that Im worried, ill start liking it, like with the pink album that was on for about 2 months.

danny boy, Sunday, 23 October 2005 13:41 (nineteen years ago)

They've never topped "Where is the Love?"

Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Sunday, 23 October 2005 14:03 (nineteen years ago)

Here's what I wonder. The song is unspeakably horrible, yes. But is anybody else bothered by the fact that Fergie seems to have stolen her rapping style from Mike G of the Jungle Brothers?

pdf (Phil Freeman), Sunday, 23 October 2005 15:13 (nineteen years ago)

Production = 10
Lyrics = 0

seriously, every time I start to enjoy this song, a line like

They say I’m really sexy,
The boys they wanna sex me.

comes and snaps me right out of it. It's very frustrating.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Sunday, 23 October 2005 15:13 (nineteen years ago)

I still maintain that their masterpiece couplet is "Baby girl, you got me got me / With your pistol, shot me, shot me" [gunshot FX]

i hate this song.

kyle (akmonday), Sunday, 23 October 2005 15:33 (nineteen years ago)

I've loved my share of... um, "spare" (i.e. inadequate) hip-hop throwaways (i.e. "My Neck, My Back"), but I can't even get behind this song in a masochistic way.

Eric H. (Eric H.), Sunday, 23 October 2005 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

WOSRT SINGLE OF 2005. And what I find, possibly, most appalling about it is that it's a huge hit - top 5 in Billboard! Who the fuck is buying/loving this?!

Thomas Inskeep (submeat), Sunday, 23 October 2005 16:24 (nineteen years ago)

I work part time in a record store to help pay my massive student loan debt. Today (as in the last half hour), I've had three people ask about that damn song.

rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Monday, 25 May 2009 01:11 (sixteen years ago)

How are you measuring said track record? By quality or merely sales/chart-placement? Because the latter means nothing.

Alex in NYC, Monday, 25 May 2009 14:31 (sixteen years ago)

it doesnt mean "nothing"

rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Monday, 25 May 2009 14:35 (sixteen years ago)

Sure it does.

Alex in NYC, Monday, 25 May 2009 20:05 (sixteen years ago)

"quality" means even less than sales imho.

ian, Monday, 25 May 2009 20:13 (sixteen years ago)

Sales just indicate that lots of people bought it. Big deal. Lots of people buy lots of abject crap.

Alex in NYC, Monday, 25 May 2009 20:16 (sixteen years ago)

they have some really terrible singles but i think "boom boom pow" is great and "i'mma be" (or whatever) also sounded kinda dope

some people wait a lifetime for a momus like this (J0rdan S.), Monday, 25 May 2009 20:21 (sixteen years ago)

both those songs are trying way too hard to be bonkers and energetic and 'different,' imo the Fergie solo singls and some of the earlier BEP stuff kills it

some dude, Monday, 25 May 2009 20:47 (sixteen years ago)

"Boom Boom Pow" is one of the worst singles of the year, easy. The most cringeworthy part is right after fergie screams 'will.i.am drop the beat now!!!' Like, i just have to bury my head in my shoulder everytime.

have the lime of your life, heyyyyyy (Tape Store), Monday, 25 May 2009 20:59 (sixteen years ago)

i guess what makes it bad is that they just seem so...into it. like they really believe that they're recording the greatest track of the year, you can just imagine them high-fiving each other after each verse

have the lime of your life, heyyyyyy (Tape Store), Monday, 25 May 2009 21:01 (sixteen years ago)

― some dude, Monday, May 25, 2009 3:47 PM (12 minutes ago) Bookmark

well certainly BEP have always tried to be 'bonkers' and 'energetic' and "boom boom pow" is undeniably 'different' but i admire that they took a risk with a song and i much prefer will's take on bangladeshian minimalism to horrible built-in kidz bop shit "let's get it started" or "don't phunk with my heart"

"glamorous" and "fergalicious" do kinda pwn tho

In June 2011, Lynn Tolliver, a Cleveland, Ohio disk jockey who wrote "I Need a Freak" for his concept band Sexual Harrassment, won a $1.2 million judgment by a New York jury as a result of the band's unauthorized sampling of his song in "My Humps." The lawsuit purportedly lasted for over ten years, in effect, it began five years prior to the actual release of the song.[1]
