The Black Eyed Peas' new video for "BACK 2 HIPHOP" featuring Nas is a 90s hip-hop throwback with a mixture of live-action and animated visuals. The video shows each member of the group wearing red and black, two colours that make up the majority of the video. Upon Nas' appearance, things start to get a little more colorful. Before he even lands on screen, some gold pyramids enter the fold. Once his verse starts, the rapper is depicted as a rapping sphinx.
As far as the song itself goes, it features some technical flows from all the members of the group, and a standout verse from Nas himself. After Nas' first verse, the beat switches and becomes much slower with some funky bass lines. Will.I.Am and Nas trade verses to end the song while the Egyptian imagery continues to play out on the screen.
With this new song, it will be interesting to see what else The Black Eyed Peas have in store for us in the future.
