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,

Sumthin For That Ass
What the hell y'all came here for
If y'all ain't out there on that floor
You asked me to bring it so
I brang you more
Give it to you raw,
Give it to you hard core,
Lock the Terminator gonna keep this pure
Just for y'all, for y'all pleasure (your pleasure, pleasure)
Smoking hot like Bim cigars
This goes out to mam in car
Hey ladies let's get down
Spin your partners round and round (round and round and round)
Wait on your back and do-se-do
Don't say nothin' if you do-se-doed
(Oh no)
Let's scream and shout
And turn this jamboree-out
That's just what we're gonna do
'Cause I'm proud that it is makin' way for you
[Chorus]
I got sumthin' for that ass (I got sumthin' for that ass)
You could feel it in the car (you could feel it in the car)
I just want to see you dance (I just want to see you dance)
Now's the time for y'all to move (so come on keep movin')
Let's keep this shit moving (keep on moving)
Get on down and put the groove in (groove, groove)
This party ain't never gonna end since
Right when it stop we're gonna start it again (start again)
The way she always by the ten
And the men's outside and they can't get in
Damn they're so spectacularly
See so much damn ass in here (here, here)
Hey ladies let's get down (let's get down)
Move them fella's round and round
Wiggle down your hips and do-se-do
Don't say nothin' if you do-se-doed
Let's scream and shout
If your up against the wall get the hell on out
That's n-o-t-o-i-r-o-u-s you just follow your soul and then
[Chorus]
(Keep movin', movin')
(Keep your asses movin')
(Keep your bodies movin')
(Keep movin', movin')
Ooh (heat's keeping us on the dancefloor)
Ooh (everybody report to the dancefloor)
Ooh (report to the dancefloor)
(Come on)
What the hell are you waiting for?
Care to sh only just rockin' anymore?
I started out just rocking their floors
But now I'm over sea's rocking your rear and mores
Most I'm dedicated to the city of L.A.
Open up the circle and rockin' in the Bay
Take it down to London and rock the same way
Dominant and earth then back to Sydney
We rock the earth
'Cause we don't play
We do it like this
The Black Eyed Pea way (Pea way)
Do what we do, not what we say (say)
Get on the floor and shake your thang (thang)
Do that, do that, do that, do that (ooh)
Do that, do that, do that, do that (ooh)
Do that, do that, do that, do that (ooh)
Do that, do that, do that, do that, do that, do that
[Chorus: x2]
(So come on keep movin')
(So come on keep movin')
(So come on keep movin')
