Kanye West: "RIP to The Black Eyed Peas! You'll be missed!"
Last night, Kanye West closed out Day 1 of the Austin City Limits Music Festival at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas. In grand fashion, ‘Ye provided a memorable two-hour set as he prepares for The Throne’s tour next month. Interestingly, during "All of the Lights", Kanye shouted out, "Rest in peace to the Black Eyed Peas! You're gonna be missed!" towards the end of Fergie's verse.
What? Even though I don't use them right now and I am happy for them to take a break, I don't want them to stop making music. I hope Kanye was only referring to the break and not actually meaning the BEP split up.
This could either be massive shade, or they're over.. I hope it's just shade so then we can think of him as even more of a douche, plus get more BEP music.
I dont even care what hes doing. If they broke up - good, we get another Fergie album, if hes saying RIP because they've become auto-tune trash, good, I agree with him.
I think if it's shade, then it's awesome - they used to be a meaningful independent hip-hop group, and now almost all of their songs follow a template that wasn't particularly good to begin with.
