5. The Black Eyed Peas- Imma Be
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdAj-dBNCi4 Totally Whack Lyrics: "Imma be a brother but my name ain't Lehman, I'll be a bank, I'll be loanin' out semen".(01:44) Imma be was the fourth single to be released from The E.N.D and with Its catchy rhymes and jazzy beats this was a tune that succeed in making you head towards the dancefloor. However, this song is not completely devoid of ridiculousness - there's plenty of lazy writing present. For example rhyming the word 'million' with 'billion' and then again with 'trillion' is just plain amateur. Come on Peas! You can surely do better than that. This is another brag-fest track where both Fergie and will.i.am like to remind us of how much better they are than us. Apparently Fergie is "up in them A-list flicks doing one handed flips". We don't recall seeing her doing any gymnastics in any blockbusters as of late but we're sure it's not an over-exaggeration. Despite the outlandish highs of Fergie's ambitions it doesn't compare to the crassness of Will.i.am referring to himself as a sperm bank. Does Will even know what goes on in sperm banks? If he did I don't think he would want to give off the impression that he was receiving any deposits.
