La historia de The Black Eyed Peas se remonta a mediados de la década de 1990, cuando los talentosos músicos will.i.am (William Adams) y apl.de.ap (Allan Pineda Lindo) se conocieron en Los Ángeles. Ambos compartían una pasión por la música hip-hop y rápidamente comenzaron a colaborar. La primera alineación se completó con Taboo (Jaime Luis Gómez) y Kim Hill como corista.
Inicialmente, el grupo fue conocido como Atban Klann y firmaron un contrato con Ruthless Records, una discográfica fundada por el legendario Eazy-E. Sin embargo, después de la prematura muerte de Eazy-E en 1995, el álbum que habían grabado fue archivado y el grupo cambió su nombre a The Black Eyed Peas.
En 1998, The Black Eyed Peas lanzó su álbum debut titulado Behind the Front, con la colaboración de la cantante Macy Gray. El álbum fue bien recibido por la crítica y ayudó a establecer una base de fans leal. Su segundo álbum, Bridging the Gap, lanzado en 2000, continuó en la misma línea y aumentó su reconocimiento en la industria.
A pesar de su creciente popularidad, Kim Hill decidió dejar el grupo, lo que llevó a la incorporación de Fergie (Stacy Ann Ferguson) en 2002. Esta incorporación marcó un hito en la carrera de la banda, elevándolos a nuevas alturas.
Con Fergie en la formación, The Black Eyed Peas lanzó su tercer álbum, Elephunk, en 2003. Este álbum fue un éxito internacional,

4 Ever
We are the music makers
And we are the dreamers of dreams
One is for the love
Two is for the soul
Three's the magic number
And four is forever
Five is so alive
And six is in the mix
So peep, I hope you're ready for
I'm out for the night, smile for the lights
Looking for a taste and I end up with a slice
Like P à la mode, I'm fresh and I'm froze
My chain hang low and my raps pure gold
I'm nasty and nice, a wolf on the mic
These sheep sound ba-a-a-d, but they flock for a bite
Let's Midnight Maraud, we out with the claws
Howl at the moon and we glance at the stars
We up and away, top tier everyday
They pause and we play, we ball and they fade
We rockin' over here, just jumpin' over here
Them other niggas gold but we shine like veneers
I'm rush over those wack ass haters like plaque
With the L M N O P's and the Peas that be Black
With the elemental freeze so please stand back
Tell me can you rock it, can you rock it like that?
Yup, yup, yo Tab and Ap, time to get the strap
Hit em off with the click clack, Mortal Kombat
I'ma slap em with the boom bap, top a four mat
Told them niggas step back, these are power maniacs
I'm the black Power Ranger, baby you can call me Zack
That's exactly how I flip the lyric, rap acrobat
That a wrap, ready to attack, heavy impact
Nigga I'ma a thunder cat, you know where my number's at, number one
One is for the love
Two is for the soul
Three's the magic number
And four is forever
Five is so alive
And six is in the mix
So peep, I hope you're ready for
I slip on the scene, I'm slick and I'm clean
I slide off the green like my money's vaseline
The mood is Supreme, the ladies lookin' nice
They rollin' with the team yeah we gotta fit 'em right
You won't be on the night 'cause the itch don't stop
We blowin' up the spot 'til the roof goes pop
You somethin' and they not, they warm and we hot
They sink to the bottom and we rise to the top
Umm
We doin' things she just talk about
We makin' headlines, she just word of mouth
We knock it out the park and you strikin' out
You fallin' off, we hold it down
You crack when the alligator snap
With the L M N O P's and the Peas that be Black
With the elemental freeze so please stand back
Tell me can you rock it, can you rock it like that?
Yup, yup, real shit, I go rock it like this
3 pointer, hit a three, yes indeed, it a swish
I be deep in the abyss, I am Pisces the fish
When I'm dick up a bitch it be heavenly bliss
Oh yes, look at this wicked shit that I spit
Two long one tongue, two lips, larynx
Kill a lyricist, rock the fatal linguistic
On my 1-2 shit, never on that two list, we number one
One is for the love
Two is for the soul
Three's the magic number
And four is forever
Five is so alive
And six is in the mix
So peep, I hope you're ready for
