"Joints And Jams" by the Black Eyed Peas

[A Thug Named Slickback]

I don't really like the Black Eyed Peas too much nowadays... But their first couple of albums were really on-point. And this was the song that made me a fan back in the late 1990s.

That's the joint, that's the jam
Turn that sh*t up, play it again

This old song really puts their current music to shame.

I liked it. The video was creative.

Loved the song and its accompanying video. I totally agree about their recent stuff not being as good as on the first two albums.

That's when they were really doing hip hop instead of that crappy techno stuff that they're doing now. They were fresh when they were underground. This brings back memories of Friday Night Flavas on Power 106 and from then on it was added in regular rotation at KPWR. I love it. 92.3 The Beat played it out in '98 too.

Although I'm more used to their post-2003 pop fluff, I was surprised to hear this song on an old school rap internet radio station years back and how shockingly good this song is. Upbeat but with an underground feel.   I was quite stunned that it was the Black Eyed Peas that did this song and how different it feels from their latter material.  Their 1999-2000 material is tragically magnificent considering what the band would later become.  Easily the best song the Black Eyed Peas ever did.

I'm much more familiar with their 2000s output, but I really like this one. It sounds pretty good.
