Not always. But more and more often ...

Allllso ... actually HipHop is not quite my case - but this CD has something ... she even much more. The Black Eyed Peas Rap sounds namely not in the long run a bit monotonous (I suppose, rappers see it differently and have possibly even legal, but I'm talking about me.), On the contrary: "Elephunk" grooves like nothing good, and above all the best tracks have a rhythm that everything is too late. In this absolutely precise dahingezischten Rap even the recipes my grandmother would sound wonderfully indecent ... but that does not mean that the vocabulary of the Black Eyed Peas corresponds to the cliché that you have of rappers. It's just this rhythm that gets under your skin.

Now I ask myself, of course, why I find this album to be great, but the music style which is not my case otherwise. Probably I am fascinated by the versatility: The Black Eyed Peas quote across the musical styles, from pop ("The APL Song") and reggae to Latin ("Latin Girls") and radio ("Hands Up", "Labor Day", " Shut Up ") ... and the guest appearance of Papa Roach on" Anxiety "is at its best. This song is amazing: HipHop goes rock ... The Black Eyed Peas can not just rapping wonderful, but also sing quite passable, and the songs have character. In a drawer that does not fit here anyway. And no matter which style "Elephunk" now belongs or does not belong: "Great music" can be guaranteed write on the label.

Only one or two tracks I like not so - to my own surprise, therefore, come to something "brave", "The Boogie That Be" especially, and even "Where Is The Love", although less: The rap passages namely bring it here.

Conclusion: Again, I can "Elephunk" not listen. But more and more often for sure.
