"I might get a stupid f***ing cut like will.i.am" -TyFaizon

So this is kind of cheating since this album is not exactly hip hop but more like dance pop, or "hip house". This symbolized the end of an era: Black Eyed Peas, LMFAO, Flo Rida, Pitbull, Far East Movement etc. All of which made big power EDM anthems for clubs, with rapping! Some of them are still active but you can't argue the dominance of this genre faded a little before this will.i.am album dropped (2013).

Maybe that's why this album was so panned when it came out. I was a kid when BEP was at their mainstream peak and I really liked listening to them. This is a weaker version of that bc will.i.am as a solo artist isn't very strong and needs the balance of the other members. This is why most songs in here include a singing feature.

The songs that have a will.i.am rapping verse, show how little effort he puts into writing, if any. Most basic, dumbed down lyrics ever about partying and having a good time. Still, can't be too mad about this album when it's made exactly for this purpose -- being played at a party. So at its best, it has fun party songs. At its worst, it's terrible corny "inspirational" songs or braggy rap songs. Very much a sound of that era that was trendy and didn't age well.

I will also add that compared to some of the artists I mentioned will.i.am lacks personality and as a result this album just sounds commercialized with no heart or passion behind it. Also really dips by the end. Or I just got tired of it by that point.

Save just the singles from this. Also idk what happened to his hair.

Best: #thatPOWER, This Is Love, Scream & Shout, Feelin' Myself.

Worst: The World Is Crazy, Far Away From Home, Ghetto Ghetto, Smile Mona Lisa.

Lack of female artist op! I suggest the lowest rated album by a female called 143 by Katy Perry.

Peaked in 2006 when he was doing good BEP, Fergie album and Nas album. when he jumped in that electronic bag it was all over. Though I like The E.N.D.

The E.N.D was fully my peak with him bc i was in third grade and it was actually kinda cool

I really was longing for NERD but hadnt discovered them yet so that BEP album was the s*** at the time

Still love a few songs on it
