True, but if they think they suck, then I'd like to hear *why* they suck.
Besides, they're a new act (at least out there to the rest of the world),
and it's like these people think they know their whole careers.
Besides, I think a lot of it has to do with them not liking hip-hop music
with any sort of jazzy element in it (their Roots comparisons sort of
indicate that The Roots are some sort of freak act) and maybe a little
uneasiness about the multicultural makeup of the Peas - the MCs are of
Black, Latino, Native American and Asian (Filipino) heritage, and the
backing band is mostly white (I understand some people aren't used to that
kind of thing).
