'''''Bridging the Gap''''' is the second [[album]] by [[The Black Eyed Peas]], released in 2000. 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".
