    You'll keep looking for songs with more depth than "Ba Bump," only to find that they're basically all at that level.

    They are to hip-hop what No Doubt was to ska.

    This has GOT to be The Peas' best album! I loved it instantly upon hearing it - except for My Humps which is a lousy song but it can be easily dismissed. Don't Phunk With my Heart was the song that won me over to the Peas and Don't Lie and Pump It aren't far behind. James Brown's work on the album is quite remarkable - R.I.P. This album has a great mix of rap songs of all sorts and it is impossible to dislike so I recommend you go get it!… Expand

    Two words: "My Humps." That song alone is reason enough to avoid this album as if 'twere the plague.
