Black Eyed Peas - Do It Like This
Producer: will.i.am
Album: The Beginning
Label: A&M/ Will.I.Am Music Group
I must admit that when it comes to hip-hop, I can be one of those “pretentious” critics who wince whenever I hear rappers trying to do the pop thing. When I listen to the Black Eyed Peas however, I don’t just hear a stereotypical pop record, I hear a group that has themselves heavily influenced what pop music sounds like now, and always keep evolving. The Peas’ new record, Do It Like This, is a prime example. Much like their previous smash Imma Be, will.i.am’s production starts off with elements of old school hip-hop mixed with some classic video game influenced instrumentation, with Fergie making a 10 second appearance while Will spits some simple yet clever lines over the “obscene” beat. It then shifts into glow stick territory, with Taboo and apl.de.ap sending the energy even higher in insanely catchy fashion. BEP will be releasing one song per week until the release of their new album, The Beginning, on November 30, and while I hope future releases are a bit more diverse, I can’t be mad at this crossover hit.

Not my cup of tea. At all. As a matter of fact, this beat is extremely headache-inducing. With that said, I have been sick for 48 hours and it might be the anti-biotics not fully kicking in yet? Not sure, but its still a long ways off from the "Joints and Jams" days. Ahhh, memories.

I'm a fan of B.E.P. But...this is unacceptable, mainly because I know this is going to get on the radio and teenagers all across the land will enjoy it. sigh...

A definite fail by the Black Eyed Peas if they want this song to push the airwaves. The production is too repetitive and obnoxious for me to play this ever again.

You sit and your just waiting for the song to go somewhere. Your waitning for the Black Eyed Peas to pick it up and come thru like they have before.......but that doesn't happen.

Black Eyed Peas are currently lost.... They are trying to ride this Techno-Hop thing now. The problem is Techno/House heads don't want them AT ALL... Hip-Hop doesn't want them either (not in this state - I want the old peas back)... The only people who listen to this is people who are equally lost (most of today's youth)... Sigh, this is worse than 'The Time' and I gave that 1 Star...

Will.I.am. straight murdering beats execution style. Obviously I'm the minority here, in fact I'm apparently the only person that likes this so far, but I thought this was sick.
Btw, I seen Will.I.am perform as a techno dj once, trust me, he absolutely tears it up. |

Pric3le$$'s rating and review was on point. this is the worst song i've ever heard from the Black eyed peas. Please just quit making music if this is the direction youre going in.

in a civil response to @mbaldwin0293 and @mathu, im a teen and i dont enjoy this at all so please dont generalise that every teen out there only likes that hip-pop stuff because it isnt true, i respect real hip-hop, this isnt real hip-hop, hopefully a low-selling album will help BEP realise they were successful when they were true to hip-hop

Wow, this beat is annoying as hell and repetitive. Sorry will.i.am you can't be the next Tiesto, Armand van Helden, or Paul van Dyk. I think hanging out with David Guetta has rubbed off too much on Will. Guetta knows how to set trends and change it up from experience, because he's been in that industry for a long time.
This sounds like two songs mashed into one... The techno-bass in the second-half isn't crunchy and hard enough to fit European club standards. For some strange reason though, the chorus in the first half stuck in my head. |

@ Z - You said it right. I was wondering if no one remembers "Joints and Jams".
Anyway, back to the future, I am sorry people but this is straight garbage. I like my BEP, however, this is is f-ing bull-ish. William (he lost the hyphens) leave this to David Guetta, Eric Prydz, Ministry of Sound etc. I cant believe how much crap this is...... |

I mean, it's BEP. What is there really to say? It's hyper hip-pop, and we've heard this track, or some version of it, 100 times before from them....and all of them have been huge hits.
As for me, I won't be listening to this again.

Im a HUGE Black Eyed Peas fan. This is another typical record from them. This is what they do. LIke it or not, this is them.
But i have to agree with some of the ppl up top......It is annoying. The chorus is way to repetitive with the beat, just makes is boring. I can see this being on the radio tho. Black Eyed Peas=Radio hits. |

Im not very sure about that. But I can appreciate the fact that Will.i.am courage to do something different though. To me Fergie is the best rapper in the group.

@DJRater I do believe I said 'Most' and not 'all' of today's youth... I am fully aware that not every teen listens to or likes this type of music but the B.E.P's are still the most popular with the teen market... Most people who have listened to the Peas older work will choose that above this trend any day.
