BEP's music has always been firmly entrenched in hip-hop but also with an eye to other musical forms. Elephunk, more than previous albums, seems to transcend the simple genre categorization, something will.i.am admits was intentional, both lyrically and musically. "This is a hip-hop record but we didn't go into this with hip-hop on our mind," says will.i.am. "We were just thinking of good songs, good music. We didn't want to say anything typical, like 'My style is this, and my rhymes are like that.' A couple might have slipped in but we were really tired of saying things like that." Indeed this album is so different ... There is even a a song (The APL Song) about immigration from the Philippines to the USA (with a clip from an old Asin song at the beginning in Tagalog!) and many references to Filipinas in Latin Girls. Apl de Ap is Allan Pineda who moved from the Philippines to the US when he was 14.

Kiwi is west coast hip hop. His music reflects the life of a young Filipino man coming up in Los Angeles. The anxiety of having to stay on one's toes to avoid danger. The desperation of losing a homeboy to the streets. They express the love of a mother, of a partner, of the people, of music, of hip hop. They represent the feelings of being detached from his Filipino culture, only to build and take ownership of a whole new filipino culture in America. His beats shadow the euphoric, spiritual feeling of being on a stage and rocking a crowd. His words echo the joy and pain of the truth: that we are not free, that the struggle continues.
