New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Black Eyed Peas share a uniquely animated music video for "BACK 2 HIPHOP" (ft Nas) off of their 7th studio album, MASTERS OF THE SUN VOL. 1.
Commandeering cues from the early days of hip-hop as well as ancient Egypt, the video takes you on a virtual ride filled with classic cars and satisfying symmetry.
" It was "iLLMatic", such an honor to rock with NAS. He is such a huge inspiration to our crew! " - Black Eyed Peas.
"I'm the emperor, I'm Caesar/Can somebody tell me where the MCs are?" Will.i.am questions in his opening verse for the song itself. "I violate over guitars, annihilate and operate like I'm on ER/Lyrically gang bang 'cause I'm behind bars."
Nas closes out the track with his lyrical prowess as he paints a picture of what happens to those who cross him, spitting, "Hat low in a Regal, cracks all in that diesel/Pack corners, gat pointed at people, know I beef dude/Can't afford a funeral never/Mortician have your man face lookin' like leather."
The group will appear on The Late Late Show with James Corden on Wednesday, Dec. 19 to perform the song live.
