It contained the single "[[Request Line]]", featuring [[Macy Gray]]. It never quite took off, however, because the album was leaked, and The Black Eyed Peas' main demographic was college students at the time. In [[will.i.am]]'s words, "The gap never got bridged". ==Track listing== #"BEP Empire" #"Weekends" (ft. [[Esthero]]) #"[[Get Original]]" (ft. [[Chali 2na]]) #"Hot" (ft.
