Black Eyed Peas Admit They Don't Like 'My Humps'

Tired of the Black Eyed Peas' 'My Humps?' So are they. Frontman will.i.am recently spoke on the 2005 hit, admitting that they didn't give it their all on the lyrical tip.

The eccentric rapper/producer stated that the Peas no longer want to include 'My Humps' in their live shows because they don't feel it's up to snuff. "For a while, [we did] 'My Humps' and then it got to the point where we didn't want to play 'My Humps' no more," he told MTV.com. "You know, 'cause 'I met a girl down at the disco,' I just didn't want to say that no more, lyrically,' he said.

He elaborated by confessing that the lyrics didn't represent their abilities. "It wasn't like my best lyrically, but it was fun," he said. "It wasn't lyrical miracles, but the beat was rocking, so we throw the beat in there and just let the beat linger, but now 'I Gotta Feeling' is like 'What?''

'My Humps' was originally released as the third single off their fourth album 'Monkey Business.' The infectious jam, which later nabbed the 2007 Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, hit No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified double platinum for shipment of over two million units.

He didn't want to say "I met a girl at the disco" but was all cool with "My humps / my lovely lady lumps"? Classless.

Pathetic...whiney...idiotic. So lets see the girl artist is "tired" of doing that song at their live shows. Hmmmmmm someone should tell the idiot that its those fans who pay for your lifestyle. Just because your pathetic fans like how you sell yourself as a crackhead, bimbo, sl*t so well, hey I guess your true self came out in that "song":)

Maybe they should just play a silent concert. In fact if they would replace themselves with the original Guns N Roses lineup then I would love BEPs.

And just when I thought I didn't have anything in common with them. Maybe one day they will hate all of their music as I do

BEP were way better before they went pop and added Fergie to the group. I sure do miss the old BEP.

So they dislike THIS song and not that annoying crap they come out with now? If I have to hear Boom Boom Pow or I Got A Feeling one more time, my ears will start to bleed.

This is one of their best songs. It won a grammy and sold alot of copies. They shouldn't omit it. I like it because it was original and not taking alot of lyrics or samples from something else like "THE TIME."
