As I mentioned in my post on the subject,
found here, I actually quite enjoy the first two albums. Sure, they're not masterpieces, but they're not awful.

What makes the Black Eyed Peas so, so terrible is not just the "music" that they fart out now, but the fact that they are so blatantly pandering to the braindead lumpenproletariat masses to make money. Take Will.I.Am as an example - he's capable of making decent music: he produced "Hip-Hop Is Dead" for Nas, and that's quite a good beat, and I seem to remember him doing a decent verse on Ozomatli's Vocal Artillery. But instead of trying to improve on their first two albums, he made the conscious decision to dumb everything down as far as possible in the pursuit of money.

And that's what I really hate about them - they aren't just stupid people making stupid music because it's all they can do (well OK, Fergie is) - they're people who probably could have been much better, but thought "fuck it, we'll just crap out festering lowest common denominator shit because people will lap it up and we'll make more money than Croesus". That's the very definition of selling out, and that is why I hate the Black Eyed Peas.
