CiCiGJul 12, 2005I like this C.D. BEP's are all about positive hip hop...I like how their lyrics are laced with cuss words and "gangsta" crap...it's great to hear positive music these days. Yeah,some of the songs sound a little popish, but i like it overall!

LeviMJan 7, 2006Nothing special. "My Humps" is completely tasteless. There are many different alternatives for this album that don't talk about milk and cocoa puffs. Bottom Line: Don't waste the money.

IvyCOct 2, 2005I love this CD...it's the first I've heard from The Black Eyed Peas. I wasn't overly impressed with them as a whole, until I took a chance on this CD. It stays in rotation in my car and on my computer.

EchoBJun 13, 2005This CD is a beautiful piece off art and composition. I am always fascinated when music really moves me literally and figuratively. The time and effort that was put into each song is apparent, great job. The last song on the CD, Unity... WOW!!!

KGJun 27, 2005Never heard Black Eyed Peas before. This is an excellent album. I went and got all of their music based on this Cd alone. Awesome.

CosmoPJun 6, 2005The most groundbreaking R&B recording since "You Gotta Believe" by Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch

KellyWJun 6, 2005Got an advanced copy of this and I was extremely disappointed. An absolutely terrible record on all accounts.

RyanCJun 6, 2005ouch. all been down hill since that first gem of an album, 'behind the front'.

THJun 6, 2005An album unable to decide whether it's unoriginal, boring, or simply inane -- so it settles for being all three. Best cuts: "Feel It" and "Disco Club" are the pick of this particular bit of refuse.

LockneOJun 7, 2005The Black Eyed Peas truly hit it big with this album. Elephunk didn't get the best reviews, but Monkey Business is out of this world. The other reviewers must be CrAzY, because I loved this album, with James Brown, Justin Timberlake, Sting, and more. It's really great, and I suggest you get this album today!

JasmineJJun 7, 2005This is BEP"s best album. I don't know why people r dissing them because they changed their music. Everyone needs to change. They wanted to try something new. I LOVE U BEP ( I AM A TRUE FAN!!)

jssJun 7, 2005Album full of fun hip-hop tracks. They don't pretend that it is anything else. Several of the songs are destinted to be radio hits. Look for this album to do well over the next year

HarvardBJun 8, 2005Unique and fresh album consisting of a great variety of styles including Pilipino, Jamaican, Rap, Hip-hop, and an intriguing Beach-sound. Different from the Elephunk record, but the new tracks are phunky and fresh. You can't resist from bobbin' your head and wanting to get down to this album. The Peas were not affraid of change and they got down to "Business." Love the album!!!

MattJun 9, 2005Most of this CD didn't even make me want to get out of my seat, much less groove to the music.

PatrickBJun 9, 2005Not as good as Elephunk, but that was inevitable. I love to crank up "They Don't Want Music", but I'm 44.

Monkey Business is just as bright if not quite as fun as Elephunk.
