Kind of ironic concidering that this song was released on the same album as "My Humps." "They Don't Want Music" is basically (emphasis on basically) a social commentary on the degradation of music to a simple array of generic beats and loops. The song has a very Run-DMC-esque feel to it, obviously an homage to the so-called "music" of the past. In my opinion, the Black Eyed Peas are mediocre at best and wouldn't know real music if Prince and Bob Dylan both showed up to lay down the perfect song. It's a shame.
