“Former Tribe Called Quester Phife Diggy puts himself in Dexter’s shoes on “Love⟳ According To Dexter,” while Black Eyed Pea Will.I.Am delivers “Secrets,” a bouncy circus soundtrack of a tune⟳ about the mysteries of the hidden lab.”

“This time around, [John] Legend assembled an A-list crew of producers to work⟳ on “Once Again,” including Raphael Saadiq, Black Eyed Pea Will.i.am and Kanye West.”

“You might think⟳ you’ve got Black Eyed Pea Will I Am pegged as, depending on your perspective, the king of pop-rap or a hip-hop sell-out, but the truth is much more complicated.”

““I was more of a Posh Spice,” she had said, “and you’re more of a … Fergie.” She meant the duchess, not the Black Eyed Pea, and Cath had rolled her eyes and scowled at Eve.”

“I had viewed Fergie as Joan Jett crossed with Madonna; the rock ’n’ roll girl with a pop track record⟳ who liked listening to groups like⟳ Guns N’ Roses and Led Zeppelin. That she made the transition into a Black Eyed Pea so effortlessly speaks to her versatility as an artist.”

“Reflecting just how white hot the group was in 2007/2008, fellow Black Eyed Pea Fergie contributes vocals to the mix⟳ of “Beat⟳ It.””

“Willy was a wild and extravagant host⟳. Over the years everyone who was anyone, from (allegedly) Princess Margaret and Marianne Faithfull to Fergie (the ex-royal, not the Black Eyed Pea) had been to stay⟳.”

“My mother could zip off for a girls’ weekend that would last⟳ a week with Fergie (the former Royal, not the Black Eyed Pea).”
