Bridging the Gap is the 2nd album by Black Eyed Peas, released in 2000. It contained the single "Request + Line", featuring Macy Gray. "Weekends" was remixed & renamed as "Another Weekend" for the Deluxe Edition of their 5th studio album The E.N.D.. Kim Hill left the group during the year of this album but she is featured in one song called "Hot" seen in the "Weekends" video & is a background singer in "Tell Your Mama Come".
The album's mediocre chart performance was blamed by the band partly on the fact that the band's core audience of college students illegally downloaded the album before its release via Napster.

Behind the Front is the debut album by Black Eyed Peas, released in 1998. Most of the tracks were demos for Grass Roots. The song "Joints & Jam" appeared on the soundtrack of Bulworth, where it was billed as "Joints & Jams". On the back cover, "Skit 3" is listed after "Duet" when it is actually after "Communication". The first music video to be made from the album was for "Head Bobs"; in spite of that, the song was never released as a single and the video received no airplay. The video was later featured in the Behind the Bridge to Elephunk DVD. A music video was also made for "What It Is", which also was never released as a single. However, the song was featured on some versions of the "Joints & Jam" single as a B-side and the music video was also featured on Behind the Bridge to Elephunk. "Be Free" is played in the film, She's All That.

The Black Eyed Peas date back to 1988, when eighth-graders William Adams (will.i.am) and Allan Pineda (apl.de.ap) met and began rapping and performing together around Los Angeles. The pair signed to Ruthless Records (run by Eazy-E) in 1992 catching the attention of Eazy-E manager (Jerry Heller)'s nephew. Along with another friend of theirs, Dante Santiago, they called their trio Atban Klann (ATBAN: A Tribe Beyond a Nation). Their debut album, Grass Roots, was never released because Ruthless did not consider the positive themes and peaceful lyrics to be attractive.
