Props to BEP!

They have this one song "Bebot" on their new album. One of the guys in the group is Filipino (which I didn't know) and he's rapping that song in a Filipino language! hehehehe

i want my mom to listen to it. hehe.

My husband and I (and our kids) love that song!! I think it's one of the best songs on the album. I guess Bebot means "Sweetheart" in Tagalog. My mother-in-law was translating the lyrics for us. My kids are always singing, "Filipino, Filipino, Filipino!" They're mestizo, but they have a lot of Pinoy pride!

There should be more songs like this..think there will be a video on TRL soon?

Wonderful thread cuz i'm a HUGE BEP fan.... i never saw the video for The Apl Song either but i always thought it was such a good song... Bebot, too, although it seems way different from the The Apl Song... and i used to have them completely confused too (Apl and Taboo)... too funny... but i just love :icon_love BEP period and everyone around me either has to love them or tolerate them because they get heavy play in my house and at work (both of the newest cds)...
