I saw an earlier question asking if Fergilicious was a rip off of Supersonic. Although both have a similiar beat, I think an even closer and more obvious example of them lifting a song is My Humps. The beat and the breathy noises were taken directly from Egyptian Lover's, My Beat Goes Boom.

They sample. I wouldn't say steal because they pay for the usuage.

Almost all hip hop groups steal other group's music. Hip hop got its start by sampling classic rock riffs and adding a drum machine, i.e. Run DMC. There are only so many hip hop beats that can be used, everybody in going to rip something off eventually. Black eyed peas are no exception.

I don't think they're trying to steal the music, I just think it might have been something they liked or looked up to as musicians or bands so they used it.

THEY SAMPLE A SONG BY "PUBLIC ENEMY" ("NIGHT OF THE LIVING BASEHEADS"), CHANGE THE LYRICS, AND RENAME IT "LABOR DAY (IT'S A HOLIDAY)"
P.S. (FOR THE GUY 2 SPACES ABOVE ME)... They DID NOT Sample Classic Rock!!!! They sampled DISCO and R&B
P.S.S. Murder Ink (Untalented) stole another P.E. Beat ("Secrurity Of The First World") for Ashanti's "Justify by love" ... which, by the way... was TOTAL BULL****
