when I was out in LA he showed up to the studio in an old ass vintage suit with no socks and ashy ankles... just cause. now that's corny.
but he also told us about ring tones 2 years before they blew up..
and was the last one to be in a studio with MJ.
and designed his own car that was used in a video.
dude is a genius, but he is corny too

She ain't happy about being held hostage and Will's ego is too big to admit she is the reason they blew up.

Her single dropped months ago and has gone nowhere. I dug it, but it got no traction. Both the group and her made the cardinal mistake of not continuing to feed the beast.

I wonder how much of this has to do with Jimmy Iovine leaving as well.
He was instrumental in constructing the New-ish BEP and now that he's left the building they may just have no idea where to go..

but a big part of the hold up is Will trying to drop solo joints.
the riff between Fergie and Will is the biggest elephunk in the room.
she wants out and there is no way he will let that happen because he basically made her into a star. I don't blame him either.

cause if its on the back end they probably won't officially release it.

That's an option too, but then they can't perform the song at a show, because then they're making money off it... which was the grounds Finesse used for suing Mac Miller for the mixtape joint that used his beat.

65. "the cynic in me doubts there is a bag of money..." In response to Reply # 47
but then again, when Wills manager heard MJ wanted to work with him he wasn't impressed.
When asked how much they should charge MJ will said he would do it for free because MJ is a legend.
He also "gave" Mos all the publishing on Umi Says even though he played the keys on that song. Mos called him up and asked for his info and Will shrugged it off. Then he saw it in a Nike Ad and kicked himself. He didn't think the song would blow like that. lol

37. "i never liked these niggas" In response to Reply # 0
not when they had the black chick singing with them and not with fergie and not now. will.i.am has produced a few of my favorite r&b joints of the 00s/10s tho.
That was the very first video I saw of them back in '98 or so. That shit there knocks, but I think they've had maybe one other song that I thought was okay after that.

>Fallin Up and Joints and Jams are the only songs I've ever >liked from >them. Never been a fan really. I used to like them in theory. > >So when they "sold out" it didn't bother me.
This is where I am. I had a cousin who thought they were the SHIT when that first album dropped. This dude is, and always has been, on of the biggest "real hip hop" heads I know. I remember him playing it all the time. This was in the south, and he was the only nigga I knew in existence who thought they were that dope lol.
>Funny to me that ppl who complain abt that never bought their >"real" >albums lol. So I'm kinda with Sha on this one. Indifference.
Exactly! I'm sure that's why they went pop in the the first place. Gotta eat.
>This new shit is wack btw. Covers to cover up that corny ass >beat lol.
Basically. Will.I.Am might as well go full retard at this point and make an album called "Music For White Hipsters" and be done with it.

Even when they were doing 'real' hip-hop, there's something always vaguely photocopied about them. Probably only thing I liked about them was they could dance, lol.
38. "Can't be mad at a throw back. I like it." In response to Reply # 0
Liked them before they were pop, liked a few of their pop hits, and I like this. The ODB break was niiiice. Throw back joints are supposed to be fun and this is no different.
