Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be

Hmmmm, i dunno the beat is pretty good, kinda interesting. But will.iams hook is annoying. Its got a nice style with it though. I need a few more listens, for now....3 stars

Just heard this today. I thought it was awesome!

The production sounds like Drake and Wayne’s “Ransom” and the hook reminds me of “A Milli”.

I’m not a Black Eyed Peas hater, so I can enjoy this. This production is going to be addictive and the song is going to be all over the radio in no time.

I also guarantee this will be the new “A Milli” beat for a bunch of rappers to hop on.

I ain’t gon lie, I think WILL.I.AM is still killing cats out here in the game. LOL

His verses basically said this IMO:

I’mma keep rocking this weird, tight fitted ish, and acting like an alien and watch the money pile up while you cliche negros is still hating.

Touche Will. Touche.

i think this is the most biased rating i will ever do.
im sorry but BEP just cant go wrong for me... (now i bet 3rd single goin prove me wrong lol)

@darkchocolate:
i even like the annoying hook!

As good if not better than Boom Boom Pow. Both songs are major growers. At first I hated Boom but now I think it is one of the best radio hits of the decade. This one I like a little better from the beginning.

Their old singles shit on this one. I think its pretty dumbed down, wack from the production and hella trashy. To me atleast. 1 1/2

"Dj Baer"- i agree its as good as Boom Boom Pow!yo, will.i.am is too sick with those beats! he might be new fav producer wit dis 1. BEP got that perfect hip-hop/techno vibe goin!

that dude will got mad tricks up his sleeve

banger.

I agree with DJ Baer. Boom Boom Pow grew on me big time and this probably will too. The hook sounds kind of annoying for now but once I sing this in my head for a good week or two, I imagine that I will grow to like it. I like the vibe that BEP has on this new album. Rotation.

Heh, this is AWESOME!!! I love that hook!! It had my head bobbin the whole time!!! I don't know that it will have radio success, but it definitely has Bowwserr success!!!

By the way, that production is straight fire!!! I can't hate on this at all! This is classic!!!

Classic!!!

man i wish i had better computer speakers this track hits hard.....4 star banger 4 just the beat ,overall good effort

O man this track is gonna be bumpin hard in every single club around the globe!! Love the production and even the "annoying" hook is off the cadena :translation: CHAIN

0_o ... .. -.-' I thought the beat change was gon save this, but at the end, I couldn't even remember what I just heard... not harmonizing at all!

It's just a big mess, where I can't even find a pearl to say, "at least it was worth listening".

(Surely not to be played more than the 3 times I did, to make sure I was not crazy for finding this awful)

Bedstuy on the check in, this works for me. I'm a Peas head!

1st off "georgia nights" will go down in history as one of the most prophetic songs in music history. R.I.P. Dolla gone too soon. 2nd Ill Will, that MJ emblem is dope as hell. Now for the B.E.P. joint... Will I Am can do no wron@, his beats just @et better and better. This album is @onna Rock.

This pretty good the production is on point and the lyrics are pretty good as well. Wont reach the same sucess of Boom Pow but solid nonetheless

The production is good, until the dramatic switch towards the end. Although, I am not a huge BEP fan, I enjoyed this song. In rotation it goes.

this is craaaaaack.
great production, great message, great delivery.
the perfect formula for a SMASSSHH!

The only thing keeping it from the 5/5 is the slow beginning. I love the production but they need to hit some hard flow if the beat is going to be that weak in the beginning. From then on it's entertaining as hell. Apl.de.ap brings it the best i've heard him.
This will be fun to listen to in the clubs.

I too could not get into BOOM BOOM POW when we first featured it at DJBooth. A few star-studded remixes later, and plenty of burn at radio, and I am a fan. I must say though, I am on the fence about IMMA BE. Luckily, there is no need to be overly-critical... because it isn't a single selection (merely an album track). Look for the new single to hit our front page next week.

I think the moral of the story here is to be careful what I wish for.

What that means exactly is that I was hoping for a little more swag and hip hop feel from The BEP's new material instead of the oh-so-appealing pop route they have been taking. This one delivered my wishes, however I too am on the fence with Z.

I think it's worthy of rotation but not by much, and I'm still expecting better.

And PS- I'm thinking the actual new single will be one they performed on Jimmy Kimmel entitled 'Party.' That record follows the same party element as their past singles and WILL be a hit.

at first: I'm not a a hater of them, fo real! but i just can't believe how BEP are making trash 'music' lately (naaw can't call this music) :-(
when i heard this pow pow shit i was about to puke, and now i've been suffering a couple of minutes while listening to this track... sorry, but in my opinion tis is not even a 1 star track !!!

ther all b's (L0L)

mean song!!! it sounds kinda lyk there last song dow hwen th beat drops on willIam... hay M.H how come u have no rating on your thing???

this crews lyricism is crazy...will.i.am is a crazy producer his infusion of funk with hip-hop is always hot...Goes well with tha dance style popular music...their popularity is around there feel good vibe and positive music

♥ it!
beat is cracckk!!
:)

Imma Be..Imma Be rockin this hit..Imma Be Imma Be playin at every party that I get..Imma Be Imma Be play'n it everywhere I go Imma Be Imma Be tellin everyone that I know...

Taboo looks like a horse

RIP to Dolla - "Let's Make A Toast" to his memory.

this song goes toooo illy . like i culdn't stop banginn my headd. (: itss that shytt. imma bee....(: hells yeahh gone head bep. do ya thang.

naw.

It's ok. it kinda was everywhere. it needs to be tightened up. probably gonna see numerous remixes

This song was definitely everywhere, however it went from alright in the beginning to an excellent track at the end...just take out that first minute and a half and youd have a banger of a club song.

WTF is this? That sample in the background saying Imma Be is AWFUL! The verses are cool, I like how he and she sound, but Imma Be ruined the whole song

I can't handle how amazingly good will.i.am is at making dance beats. If he can keep this up their cd is going to sell amazing.

always incredible to see what kinda music people praise and celebrate. amazing.

I think this track is bangin, I can nad my head to this. The production is hott, I don't always love the production will.i.am comes up wit, but I always respect it. I can see how the chopped "imma be" could really annoy some, but I was feelin it. The thing that brought this down from banger status was the production change and the below par flows. This is def worthy of a few spins, tho.

Str8 off the bat Im feelin this 1 more than when i first heard Boom Boom Pow so im throwin it in rotation... 4 now... i agree with most of the booth in saying the beat is hot, and, i aint hatin the 'imma be' either, so overall dis will go on the portable but prolly wont get no plays on sataday-nite... yet

annoying...but i see how the beat can be very addicting..i dont know if this will be the next A Millie, but maybe but i think most likely not...not very hip hop based..but meh..not goin on my pod...

OK. In rotation, but more cuz of namesake than anything else. Only liked the remixes of Boom Boom Pow, and this is a kinda cool song. Beats good, just, as mentioned, as no harmony. Lyrics are decent. At least the more I listen to it the more it is worth the 3* I'm giving it.

@~WOW~ - You know I don't hate on you. I have to say, we all know you can say a lot more about a track than just "naw." Give valid reasons as to why you don't like the song... it helps to encourage conversation!

You know WOW is a girl right bowwserr?

for some reason the first couple seconds had me thinking " a milli".
Lol @ Young Son's comment. But I do agree with bowwserr.
As far as this joint, I didn't feel it. Far too crowded and empty at different parts of the song. And they need to sing about something new (what happened to songs like where is the love???.)

@Big-A, def feel you and Fredrico's opinion. And come on guys you call this classic???

idk about this one. it'll probably grow on me just like "A Millie" did. i like WILL.I.AM's part except for that weird hook that he came up with. pretty good song overall tho

@M.H. - yeah, I know she's a girl...am I missing something? Does the fact that she's a girl change something? Or do y'all know more about me that y'all aint lettin' on?

@Big-A: lol, I love your sarcastic attitude... people might not notice, but I know you always provide unbiased feedback, regardless of how (bad?) it makes you look, and I appreciate it.

@Legitimate Hip Hop INc.: The feeling is mutual!
Your description matches my "messy room metaphor" I thought of when I heard this: it looks awful, but it's not necessarily full of garbage, it just needs a re-arrangement. ;) You can tell your momma your bedroom is a "classic" all you want, but she'll make you clean it up no matter what!

@M.H.: what do you mean by that?! 0_o LOL

@WOW: you know I got your back! ;) But don't be mad just because people ask more from you...

@bowwserr: I know she definitely should have said something, but as much as I know WOW, she always has a reason, even if she doesn't mention it for some other reason... it's just a colloquial way to put it, the deepest feeling the music got her: HELL "naw"! :p

For anyone who's not used to her, it can be very annoying though ;)

@bowwserr: I've just seen your last post, and I don't know what you're talkin about (knowin more about you) like M.H. meant anything but a sexist joke at WOW (like it's expected that she'd not be reasonable)... if it's not that, then I missed it.

Naw...to be truthful...it was because he called "fam". LOL. I just thought that was an awkward thing to call a girl...lol

aaakkkwaarrrddd

Wow...Ya'll wIld! on da booth! First off it'z been a minite since i've beeen on da booth N I hane got 2 say that I am really feelin the new look djbooth.net!! Good job!! Anyway, back 2 the song! As I said before I'mma a big fan off Black Eyed Peas N im going 2 get there album when it dropz! This song is great..Yeah I know they went overboard wit the sample but it'z still a really good track...

Ah...LOL MichaelHannah. aight. I was just wondering...I thought it was about another comment I made about me havin' "mad loves" for her...heh. Well, I am now going to take a sigh of relief. :)

lol

hey DJBooth, r u guys goin to do a review on BEP new album? i would like to read bout wat u guys think of their new album. i also wanna know if the album is full of these sick beats and club bangers!

Haha @ all of you- your madd stupid!!;)
and FredRico I know. Thanks:)
sometimes I have to leave short comments though cause I do have a life lol.

DJ Z said he couldnt get into boom boom pow at first i couldnt either but now i can because i can dance to it. i jus wanted to say that.

anyways i will buy this as soon as it comes out because its preety dancyish and i will be dance to it ever time i hear it and its a definite banga

oh yea doesnt it remind anybody of jamiroquai

@WOW: thanks. someone says it.
i LOVE music.
i LOVE DJBooth.
but i cant always make well thought out comments.

Not going to rate because I feel my opinion is biased considering I dont like The Black Eye Peas, but besides Will.I.Am production, this track is pretty ordinary.... Stuff It I'll rate

i like it when they break it down at the end. otherwise i know this song will annoy me really fast. ooops there it goes its old already.

I Kinda Like This Song And The Beat iS Fresh I Think ITs Tha NEW AMILLI

i thought this was gonna be sooo much better then it was BOOM BOOM POW is deff gonna be hard to beat

The Beat is catchy and keeps you moving some how... but I like the end of the song has a fast beat and its smashing!!

at the beggining whn u listen to it its hard, gd beat nd stuff. BUt it gets kind of annoying whn uve listened to it 3 or more times. (2.5)

I love them but this isn't their best song.

pure trash

nope. I don't think Fergie is helping them in any track in this album. >___<;;

this is sick

its aight

Dope Song No doubts

thourght the change of beat would save the song but no chance .. will.i.am way to good for this. agree with Far east too .. fergie does nothing for dis track.

It's pretty cool. I like every Black Eyed Peas song officially now that i LOVE this 1!!!!

really not fellin it

Look at first this track sounded pretty tight. But then that "Imma Be" started getting on my nerves, but somehow the beat keeps you rockin'. Then right when I thought this track is missing something, and I was getting bored It kicked up a notch. One "hell of a notch!". The change up saved this track. Black Eyed Peas always come with some crazy "§$%. Respect

really good song, I like.

Very catchy, but very annoying.

hey I love this song it so awesome

I couldh've swore I rated this, well, now that its an official single I might as well...BANGER!

its true imma be the best i can be!!!
ily alex duran!!!!<33

DANCE BEAt LOVE IT 3 stars

its good but not the best

I like it

Classic.

imma be listen to this song all day

i'm fellin this song it's a hit but imma be is in every fn senctence

Very nice blend and mix. Great for getting your energy going!

MAN THIS SONG IZ RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW THIS MY FAVORITE SONG RITE NOW!!! LOLZ IIM DANCER SO YEA........! XD

I really dont bout dis but my crew murdered another crew with dis song soo i rate it 3 stars

the beat is cool .great song

The first part of the song,(where the chick is rapping) is off the chain!! But the ending of the song kinda lost me. But still I'd rock to it!!

i like it when thay say imma be

i like this song sounds like they made the beat themselves by mouth. Classic

At first i thought it was kind of boring but i got to listen to it more. Now it love it and i drive down the road listening to it full blast.

dis is that jammmmmmmm !!!!!!!!!!! I also like boom boom pow

fergie is the # 1 chick

i only like the beat and i dont like how will.i.am sound

love the beat
