Yep, because humans have short memories and we've evolved to think first of ourselves, secondly for our "tribe", and only after that do most of us consider other people. We have to keep learning the same lessons over and over before they finally start to sink in. We can change but it takes time, sometimes more than just one lifetime.
@@scostat Like the song says, "gotta keep your faith until the love comes". If everyone kept their faith and spread it on to the kids, with nobody losing it, then even if you have to wait until the people causing the issues die of old age, and even if not in our generation, it would end. So try to keep some faith my friend because every person counts, the butterfly effect is real
This song was written after 911 and Justin Timberlake sings in the chorus. I'm sure I read somewhere that Will.i.am's grandmother is in the video but correct me if i'm wrong
this song came out 3 years after 911 and during those years the US was bombing Afghanistan and doing really harmful stuff (which the US has been doing to many other countries too) and that was also one of the problems they mentioned in this song, that's important to remember
@@geminiacleo7ewe Sad, but true. We need it now more than ever. Good news: It's on it's way, but will we recognize it or hate it when it arrives. Most hate... Joh 15:23 He who has hate for me has hate for my Father as well.
The Black Eyed Peas... one of the great groups of recent generation! "Will I Am" is a genius... up there with Prince and others. There are so many songs from the BEP... enjoy the ride!
Fantastic relevant song for all time. My son adores BEP and Will.i.am. He's autistic but braved going with me to see them live in London. He had the best night of his life. He hand wrote a letter to Will, took him two weeks to write it with his difficulties. Not had a reply yet sadly.
Ahhh - Love it - Where Black Eyed Peas started exploding on to the scene and every SINGLE word is still relevant today (sigh) - great band - great singers - great music!
It never will change. The people in charge like division, it keeps the little people occupied while they continue getting rich. That's what's destoying the world. The Love of money, the abuse of power by the elite who deceive and hurt the masses just in order to greedily grasp more money in their sweaty stubby hands. And for what? They will die too. They can't take all this money with them. But still, you know they just can't change. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Never say your shirt was your first failure ... the shirt was your 1st lesson on being a successful Business man ... every mistake is an education. Learn from that education and grow forward .... :)
I love the fact that you feel the message, "Where is the love?" The only way to a peaceful world 🙏😇💓 I love you and your reactions 😇💓 This is a powerful healing song for humanity 🙏💓😇
This is one of my favorite songs I love the story in the song it's true whar is the love see we all are human we should help each other not going around hating more people needs to hear this song and listen to this message
The meaning in this song is simple, yet so powerful. I love everything about it. It was a huge hit; will.I.am is really talented and a community philanthropist.
As a guy who wasn't really into Black Eyed Peas, I still got to say this song is just pure pop perfection. Still gives me chills when JT sings the chorus when you realize how barely nothing has changed regarding the message of the song.
My older brothers got me that CD whenever I graduated middle school, after we graduated we blasted that song in their car and of course at their house. It's so crazy thinking that it has now been 13 years
There IS a lot of love and good in the world, we just tend to see more of the negative. Seems like every time I see a 'feel good' story someone makes the comment about it not being news worthy.
My mother was nearly 60 when this came out she told me she liked that hip rap I listened to cause of this song lol, I was 21 and listening to DMX and the Wu at the time bless her heart
Will.I.Am is one of the most generous men in the music business, and a very funny and genuine guy too. Apart from Black Eyed Peas, he also is a judge on The Voice UK
Finally! I have been asking and asking and asking for this one! Sad but true that this is still so relevant that it could have been made last year rather than so long ago. This song just hits the nail on the head. Don't get me wrong they do some songs that would make you BLUSH (My Humps). They are amazing. wii.i.am has collaborated with so many people and is amazingly talented as it Fergie when she went solo. Love Black Eyed Peas but especially this song because it just touches your heart like I said.
Such a powerful song! Even songs like “What’s Going On?” By Marvin Gaye is still relevant which it shouldn’t be! Please can you do a video to ‘Songbird’ by Eva Cassidy? She’s not massively well known, but her voice was so emotive! Another great vid, thanks Jay! 🙌🏽
I was recently having a chat with someone who asked where the joy in the world is. You cannot expect others to bring you joy. Find joy in yourself and share it with others, put it into the world and there it will be.
This is the part you mentioned, one of the best parts of the song But if you only have love for your own race Then you only leave space to discriminate And to discriminate only generates hate And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, Another of my favorite lines in the song is at the end where they say "We only have one world" and the only thing I would add to that is and we all share it together, we also have only one chance to live the life we are blessed with and too often we waste it on hate and division rather than making the most of what so precious little time we have coming together and appreciating our differences instead of discriminating each other because of them.
I’m struggling thru lockdown and I cry at nothing, this song makes me cry the way people are treated. I hate how our world is today. We are all together as one. I wish people would remember that.!!!
I'm not a huge Black Eyed Peas fan, but I recognize great songs from groups that I might not like in general, and I absolutely adore this song, one of my favorites from its era.
There’s a Dutch saying “if everyone sweeps their own porch, the whole world will be clean” .... if we all try in our neighborhood we can make it better. It’s so easy and yet it is so hard. Love to you all, let’s try harder. ❤️
This songs message is even more relevant today with all the hate and war. No matter what colour a person's skin is we are all human beings that breathe the same air, bleed the same colour of blood and live in the same world. Every single person has a right to live and Nobody has the right to take anybodies life. People need to start spreading more love instead of hate. Let there be more peace in this world 🌎 This is the one thing that I wish for everyone. 💛💛
I keep forgetting that I'm not a normal human in that I listen to music by every style of artist from every culture and ethnicity in every country. I forget that there are people who it just doesn't occur to to go looking for old or different music. I love that you are not only doing it for yourself, but encouraging other people to come for the journey with you.
I bought this album when it came out. Have a bunch of it on my playlists. Black Eyed Peas were always about messages for bringing the ignored and hateful crap into the light.
This is literally inspiring me to do something good every day. It doesn’t take a ton of effort to try to bring someone up, rather than take someone down.
Loved this song so much back in the day that I recorded it straight onto my cassette tape coz I was too broke to afford a CD player and just had it on repeat. Good message, Good times.
You said it….The BEP have everything - rap, beautiful harmonies, and a message. Loved your reactions. I wish this song could be lifted up as an inspirational anthem for today. We have so much to learn as humans.
"If you only have love for your own race, then you only leave space to discriminate, and to discriminate only generates hate, and if you hate then you're bound to get irate." This should be written across dollar bills, grocery receipts, paychecks, license plates ... everywhere.
I loved this song when it came out. Feels like it could have been released last week. A fan of the Black Eyed Peas and this in particular. Thanks for this reaction.
Another genius...will.i.am. This was a collab with JT and others. We need this song today!! Almost 2 decades later strongly relevant. There's a trial starting next week, I'm praying for love as I'm just miles away from where it'll all happen. Mention this one to the others, let's spread the love guys!! ❤❤🤞🏽🤛🏽👍🏽
I've never known what genre to put Black Eyed Peas in, and find I don't care: This is my favorite song of theirs, for the same reason it resonated with J. Where's the love? Look in the mirror, cause you have to have self love before you can give it to another.
Still relevant today, 18 years later... Here's hoping it won't be one day
I can't believe it's 18 years............
Well said. 👍
That was beautifully said
especially in 2021
Just add social medai to the list. People just make tribalist groups there and then shit on others: whites, black, latinos etc.
Geez, just realised this has only gotten more relevant over time.
Yep, because humans have short memories and we've evolved to think first of ourselves, secondly for our "tribe", and only after that do most of us consider other people. We have to keep learning the same lessons over and over before they finally start to sink in. We can change but it takes time, sometimes more than just one lifetime.
Straight up facts
Way more relevant today than when this was released! Brings tears to my eyes every. single. time!
ABSOLUTE TRUTH
This song is more relevant now than ever!
It's sad that nobody took this message seriously. People still argue over race, religion, and pretty much anything they can.
They'll always be
As long as we still have multiple religions and think differently there will always be a conflict between each other,
@@scostat Like the song says, "gotta keep your faith until the love comes". If everyone kept their faith and spread it on to the kids, with nobody losing it, then even if you have to wait until the people causing the issues die of old age, and even if not in our generation, it would end. So try to keep some faith my friend because every person counts, the butterfly effect is real
The above comment applies to you my friend
Respect for others is the key. It unlocks everything.
This song needs to go back to Number 1. Simples!
it does! this is a good song for our time right now.
Amen
Agree.
Amen!
This song was written after 911 and Justin Timberlake sings in the chorus. I'm sure I read somewhere that Will.i.am's grandmother is in the video but correct me if i'm wrong
Yeah. Hey United States Government, where is the love for your own people?
Justin Timberlake helped write it
Hey to all world governments and global cooperations, where is your love for all people!
oh he did? didnt know that...
this song came out 3 years after 911 and during those years the US was bombing Afghanistan and doing really harmful stuff (which the US has been doing to many other countries too) and that was also one of the problems they mentioned in this song, that's important to remember
This was a huge hit.
Sad thing is the message didn't sink in😔
They had many huge hits. At least here in Europe.
@@geminiacleo7ewe Sad, but true. We need it now more than ever. Good news: It's on it's way, but will we recognize it or hate it when it arrives. Most hate... Joh 15:23 He who has hate for me has hate for my Father as well.
Black Eyed Peas
👉 -I Got A Feeling 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
-Boom Boom Pow -Imma Be
-Pump It -My Humps
-Meet Me Halfway
Don't forget Party all The Time
Don't Lie as well
Joints & Jams.
Let's get it started
I totally forgot "Dont Phunk With My Heart" 🤦♀️ Oh man! So many great songs!
Feels like a lot of ppl in the US have either never heard this song or have forgotten its lyrics. Where is the love folks :(
The Black Eyed Peas... one of the great groups of recent generation! "Will I Am" is a genius... up there with Prince and others. There are so many songs from the BEP... enjoy the ride!
💯💯
Black Eyed Peas preaching with this. This message is true today
Same as free your mind by en vogue, I hope one day a change will come, we are all humans on this crazy rollercoaster that is life after all.
It has been true since the song came out, thats the whole sad part about it.
Kinda wished One Tribe also got big too like this song, that song also is so good
I cry for our world when I hear this song
This song is more relevant today than it was when it was released, in my opinion.
I can't believe he hasn't heard this before; I assumed it was like one of the biggest songs ever!...
Fantastic relevant song for all time. My son adores BEP and Will.i.am. He's autistic but braved going with me to see them live in London. He had the best night of his life. He hand wrote a letter to Will, took him two weeks to write it with his difficulties. Not had a reply yet sadly.
Justin Timberlake collaborated with them on this. Love this song.
Ahhh - Love it - Where Black Eyed Peas started exploding on to the scene and every SINGLE word is still relevant today (sigh) - great band - great singers - great music!
this song becomes more relevant everyday
18 years later and nothing has changed, that's the sad part.
Yup 👍 ✌️
It never will change. The people in charge like division, it keeps the little people occupied while they continue getting rich. That's what's destoying the world.
The Love of money, the abuse of power by the elite who deceive and hurt the masses just in order to greedily grasp more money in their sweaty stubby hands.

Check out more Black Eyed Peas... they’re So good and super unique!
“Let’s get it started”
“Don’t Phunk with my heart”
"No no no no!"
One of my favorites, Let's Get Started.
Voodoo Thursday!!! 😂 👍 ✌️
This song is so applicable still after almost 20 years. Love this song! Great reaction ❤️
Need more songs like this! Need more people to listen and apply the message....
Never say your shirt was your first failure ... the shirt was your 1st lesson on being a successful Business man ... every mistake is an education. Learn from that education and grow forward .... :)
I love the fact that you feel the message, "Where is the love?" The only way to a peaceful world 🙏😇💓 I love you and your reactions 😇💓 This is a powerful healing song for humanity 🙏💓😇

I was obsessed with the Black Eyed Peas album The E.N.D. I played that CD on repeat. 🔥🎵✌
My older brothers got me that CD whenever I graduated middle school, after we graduated we blasted that song in their car and of course at their house. It's so crazy thinking that it has now been 13 years
Phenomenal song, great reaction. More true today than it was when it was released. #OneLove
There IS a lot of love and good in the world, we just tend to see more of the negative. Seems like every time I see a 'feel good' story someone makes the comment about it not being news worthy.
Look up the song "the best is yet to come" it's a metal gear solid soundtrack
Fergie in all Her Fergality. This may be Her original Beautiful Face.
Agreed.
She was perfect just as she was.
No she had work done by then
My mother was nearly 60 when this came out she told me she liked that hip rap I listened to cause of this song lol, I was 21 and listening to DMX and the Wu at the time bless her heart
Always loved this song. We need it today still. Beautiful.
If there is a song that is a total bop but at the same time makes you cry with its raw honesty...this is that song.
Absolute truth song, sadly still to this day.
This was a huge hit, and I loved it
Can you react to more Green Day “Wake Me Up When September Ends”
Yeah I think he should explore Green day, specifically American Idiot album.
This could've been written for today as dead on as it is.
Will.I.Am is one of the most generous men in the music business, and a very funny and genuine guy too. Apart from Black Eyed Peas, he also is a judge on The Voice UK
Can't believe this song is nearly 20 years old. Seems like it only came out yesterday.
Finally! I have been asking and asking and asking for this one! Sad but true that this is still so relevant that it could have been made last year rather than so long ago. This song just hits the nail on the head. Don't get me wrong they do some songs that would make you BLUSH (My Humps).

Black eyed peas always brought so much energy. Will i am is so under rated
The world needs to hear this song again. People need to think about their actions.
This was a good vib man, and a great reaction. I hope you speed this song cuz we all need to remember this one.
Love this song. The male voice you hear singing is Justin Timberlake .
JT not wanting to be credited is love. Didn't want to dissipate the messages they were spreading 🤝
Love this. The years move on but the words are still true.
This song is needed more today. Love not hate, turn the other cheek. No one is perfect. Love is.
Such a powerful song! Even songs like “What’s Going On?” By Marvin Gaye is still relevant which it shouldn’t be!
Please can you do a video to ‘Songbird’ by Eva Cassidy? She’s not massively well known, but her voice was so emotive!
Another great vid, thanks Jay! 🙌🏽
There's a spiritual battle for your soul. They were trying to wake us up then.
Love a lyric that says something really true and this one says it so well. Such a good song to listen to with such a strong message.
One of those”crank it up for the world to hear songs” anytime
One of the best Songs ever
I was recently having a chat with someone who asked where the joy in the world is.
You cannot expect others to bring you joy.
Find joy in yourself and share it with others, put it into the world and there it will be.
This is the honest truth. (& I personally think that a little faith in God doesn't hurt). 🌞🌷
This is the part you mentioned, one of the best parts of the song
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate,
Another of my favorite lines in the song is at the end where they say "We only have one world" and the only thing I would add to that is and we all share it together, we also have only one chance to live the life we are blessed with and too often we waste it on hate and division rather than making the most of what so precious little time we have coming together and appreciating our differences instead of discriminating each other because of them.

I'm not a huge Black Eyed Peas fan, but I recognize great songs from groups that I might not like in general, and I absolutely adore this song, one of my favorites from its era.
Justin Timberlake sang the hook.
That makes so much more sense now, I thought the chorus sounded like Timberlake’s voice
Well put Jaycee! This was massive when I was a teenager and I still can’t believe how relevant this is still today.
You should definitely listen to more from them. They pumped out hits for like 14 years straight.
This has been my absolute fave song ever since it came out when I was 15, it was so nice to see it through your eyes!
There’s a Dutch saying “if everyone sweeps their own porch, the whole world will be clean” .... if we all try in our neighborhood we can make it better. It’s so easy and yet it is so hard. Love to you all, let’s try harder. ❤️
I almost cried to this video. It's so real. I hope everyone is doing well. Love you all and I hope you love each other.
This songs message is even more relevant today with all the hate and war.

Awesome song, sounds great like when it was released many years ago. Message is still so relevant even today
.
You are wise well beyond your years!!! 🙏💖
When this song came out it was in every station, I remember listening to it everyday on my way to school
I bought this album when it came out. Have a bunch of it on my playlists. Black Eyed Peas were always about messages for bringing the ignored and hateful crap into the light.
Loved it when it was first released, powerful message beautiful song. sending love and blessings to all 💕
This is my favorite Black Eyed Peas song. It's definitely got a message to share.
It's almost impossible to have a favorite song these days as there are so many epic tunes, but if I had one, this just might be it. ❤️
Listening to this song again make me tearing. Years later and we still asking the same question
Let's get it started is another good one
The Peas Have been at their best from day one, Great music from a great group.
Justin Timberlake is the voice u hear in the chorus..
If you wanna find out something interesting go look and see who did backup vocals for this song
great reaction enjoyed it with you
Will.I.am is the Judge on The Voice UK since it started.
This is literally inspiring me to do something good every day. It doesn’t take a ton of effort to try to bring someone up, rather than take someone down.
The Time is my favorite Black Eyed Peas song, you should definitely check it out 👌🏻
Loved this song so much back in the day that I recorded it straight onto my cassette tape coz I was too broke to afford a CD player and just had it on repeat. Good message, Good times.
So relevant today. The message was strong. It's cool that Justin Timberlake sings the hook in this song. Such a nice blend of sounds.
2:01 He calling will.i.am "this dude", I laughed so loud
Absolute Goosebump song, everyone should live by and with human rules.
Thank you Jay for playing this excellent tune. This should be the World Anthem.
Black Eyed Peas - Pump it - Boom Boom Pow - My Humps - Don't Phunk with my heart
One of the realest sokgs in history. Still brings me to tears tbh cuz this typa stuff is still going on
The hippy movement was all about love
You said it….The BEP have everything - rap, beautiful harmonies, and a message. Loved your reactions. I wish this song could be lifted up as an inspirational anthem for today. We have so much to learn as humans.
I truly believe there are still more good people than bad in this world.
It dont matter but as a 61 yr old white guy , I love this song.Great message and great vibes.Truth.and so relevant today. Spread love.
I think this song is more relevant today then it was when it was written.
I love it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
“Let’s get started” and “pump it” are other great tunes of them!
"If you only have love for your own race, then you only leave space to discriminate, and to discriminate only generates hate, and if you hate then you're bound to get irate."

I know this was uploaded over a year ago, but I am so jealous of you mate, hearing this beauty for the first time in the 2020's... peace bruv✌️
"This dude is spitting facts" 🎯 🔥
Right up there with What's going on, by Marvin Gaye... sadly both songs are still relevant! 🕊️&❤️
