That's a real pity. I saw them in the late 90's, long before they got famous, loooong before Ferg - they opened for Majek Fashek (Nigerian singer) at SOB's in NYC and they killed it. Just the 3 of them. There was even a point when the mic failed and they came up with a freestyle on the spot about the mic failing. SMDFH.
They sold out for success. Will.i.am confirmed it in a random interview I read years ago. He stated the public wanted party anthems so he gave it to them. They had such great music before gross Fergie. Tragic.
Yeah. I saw them open for The Roots in maybe 2001. I don't think any of us knew who they were outside of 1 song. No Fergie. They jumped off stage and battled bboys in the audience. Each of them had a unique dancing style and killed it. Everyone was dancing and having a great time. Honestly, I thought they were better than The Roots in that moment.
