The Black Eyed Peas are an American hip hop group from Los Angeles, California, who have enjoyed worldwide pop success. The group is currently composed of will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo, and Fergie. Since their breakout album Elephunk in 2003, they have seen international fame for their pop,dance-oriented style of hip hop music. The Black Eyed Peas have sold an estimated twenty-seven million albums and singles worldwide. The Black Eyed Peas got their start in 1988 when will.i.am (born William James Adams Jr.) and apl.de.ap (born Allan Pineda) began rapping and performing together around Los Angeles. The pair signed to Ruthless Records (run by Eazy-E) after catching the attention of the nephew of Jerry Heller (Eazy-E s manager). Along with Mookie Mook (Burning Star), Dante Santiago and DJ Motiv8, they called their group Atban Klann . Their debut album, Grass Roots, was never released because Ruthless did not consider the social themes reflected in the group s music to be marketable to their audience. After Eazy-E died of AIDS in 1995, Atban Klann changed their name to The Black Eyed Peas; will.i.am explained on the front cover of the Monkey Business album that Black Eyed Peas are food for the soul , hence the name. will.i.am has cited the Red Hot Chili Peppers as an influence and said he named his band after a food, like them. They replaced their original third member Mookie, with Dante Santiago the Peas original singer. Then Taboo (born Jaime Gomez) joined the group. In 1996, they produced and appeared on a song entitled That s Right for Brian Austin Green s hip-hop album One Stop Carnival. Later, they began using Kim Hill as a steady background singer. Unlike many hip-hop acts, they chose to perform with a live band and adopted a musical and clothing style that differed wildly from the gangsta rap sounds of other Los Angeles-based hip-hop acts at the time. Their breakout album, Elephunk, was released in 2003. It was the group s first album to feature the vocals of Stacy Fergie Ferguson who was the replacement for background singer Kim Hill, who left the band in 2000.
