Review - :

Nominally a {\rap} group, in truth {$Black Eyed Peas} call on so many forms of songwriting and production that slotting them into {\hip-hop} is like slotting {$Prince} into {\R&B} -- technically true, but very limiting. {^Elephunk}, the group's third straight winning LP, doesn't have top-notch rapping, but as driven by frontman {$Will.I.Am}, it does possess some of the most boundary-pushing productions in contemporary, (mostly) uncommercial {\hip-hop} -- right up at the level occupied by {$Common} and {$OutKast}. The smart, brassy opening {\club} thump {&"Hands Up"} hits another level with a sly bridge flaunting some {\heavy metallic} slide guitar, while the highly pressurized love jam {&"Shut Up"} features great interplay between {$Taboo} and new member {$Fergie}. Space doesn't allow for description of each track, but suffice to say any {$Will.I.Am} track is going to feature loads of ideas and fresh sounds, not to mention plenty of stylistic changeups -- from the digital-step {\ragga} of {&"Hey Mama"} (featuring {$Tippa Irie}) to the {\Latinized}, loved-up {&"Latin Girls."} Like a latter-day {$Digital Underground}, {$Black Eyed Peas} know how to get a party track moving, and add a crazy stupid rhyme or two ("bop your head like epilepsy" from the suitably titled {&"Let's Get Retarded"}). [{^Elephunk} also comes in an edition that includes a bonus CD.] ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
