Bruh... I hate when people think I would be complaining about this because I am autistic; I was the first of my friend group to find this funny! And what makes it better is IT IS NOT A PARODY!
But aren’t you happy they put out a version that everyone can enjoy? When I go to parties and people start getting drunk and doing drugs, people don’t say “hey let’s get fucked up, let’s get retarded”. The they say “let’s have a heck of a good time everyone, let’s get it started”.
I am so glad they have the original version on RUclips. As an autistic person, I found the original version especially funny. I can take a joke. Thanks for sharing this 😊 iTunes has apparently banned it in the US because they can’t take a joke.
I know they changed this because the original title and word are considered offensive. But by doing so, they actually created two unique “bookends” to a night of partying. “Get it started” is the beginning of the night. This is what happens a few hours later at 2AM.
Actually they reworked it as "Let's Get It Started," as promotion for the 2004 NBA Finals. The It gettinf started in that song is the Finals, and it mostly took off from there.
I think it’s funny that they literally aren’t using this in an offensive way at all (which they say in the song) and all platforms still took this version down and just left the clean spike remix up. Especially the type of music that’s out nowadays
even if they didn’t mean it to be offensive, it is still kinda tone-deaf to say a slur repeatedly. Likewise with the epilepsy line personally, I’m don’t feel offended by this (although I wasn’t really bullied for being autistic), but if someone is offended, I do not blame them in the slightest
I wasn't even aware of this version's existence. If it wasn't for *Internet Historian* mentioning it in his *rejected.* video , I still would be thinking that "get it started" was the only one.
@@gunslingergirl2579 yeah. the quality is also pretty.. compressed, so i can't tell if the original song had that at one point and then someone edited half the lyrics to have the word, but the chorus did make me doubt thats just one clip used
Bruh I remember riding down the road with my mom when I was like 6 getting DOOWN to this song. This version is fire, that "Let's get it started" bullshit needa go.
It's certainly ironic how a song symbolizing the current society is getting banned by the current society. Thanks for carrying me through the school, BEP
I’ll give the Peas this, at least they knew the original title could be considered as offensive at the time. And even if it had to be changed, the very first line in the first verse still sort of makes sense. What it's saying is that even though there are people who are offended by the word "retarded", the "context" of it as used in the song isn't meant to be taken that way. It's meant as a way of saying "lose yourself and get crazy". That being said, the radio edit version doesn't really seem to make sense in comparison given that it's a slightly different title. I honestly still can't believe it took them this long to have the original version of the song removed completely. At this point, it's considered a lost track unless you were able to purchase Elephunk on CD or get it off of iTunes and/or Spotify before the song was removed. Nowadays, the only way you can find it is looking it up on RUclips.
oh man my favorite gen alpha playlist was this along with skibidi bop bop yes yes and digital circus theme song and fucking oi oi oi song with my hero academia characters in it as of emo goth boy
I’m one of the wokest guys ever but there ain’t a damn thing wrong with song…it ain’t nothing but pure love and fun in this song, no hate…keep blasting it!
Question: Is it okay when you say it but wrongspeak when we use the word in our own sentences? Why teaching us banned words in music if it means we get censored as soon as we use it? Damn R word.
@@ShephardDragon lol just got censored for the word re-tarded, so I thought that if the Black Eyed Peas have the right to, then I should have the right to use that word too.
@@ShephardDragon Censorship is such plague. We can't say fu-ck, we can't say re-tard, we basically can't speak the lyrics of a wu tang clan song aloud or get punished. But when Wu-Tang do it, it'S fine.
@@ShephardDragon Skrillex can want to kill everybody in the world, but if you sing it along, it'S hate speech. Basically, it's all a trap. They make you adopt an expression, then they punish you. Next up, a song called "baggelousie" "hey you'Re so baggelousie" "What does that mean?" "I don't know but it's the latest word banned on social medias, let's make it trendy so people loses their account en-masse"
@@SaintMatthieuSimard But the black eyed peas DID get punished. This version of the song has banned almost everywhere, and has been replaced with the more radio friendly version: “Let’s get it started”.
in 4 or 5 years some of your friends will probably come out. and heres a tip: if you are the first to openly accept them you will get a lot of respect when everyone follows

I had this album in 05
I had this track on repeat
Mad af they took it off Spotify
Of course they would. This is a very pc world we live in these days. Especially America
i had the cd that i bought from HMV in Canada i think this version is so much better
PC babies ruin everything
Thank you for sharing that. I've also been mad af. Missing that song throws my whole groove off.
Discovered this version today as while studying for a test the amazon music algorithm played it for me.
I'm so glad RUclips has the original song.
I love using youtube music instead of crappify (spotify) since I can just like any video and it becomes a song in my library!
Bruh... I hate when people think I would be complaining about this because I am autistic; I was the first of my friend group to find this funny! And what makes it better is IT IS NOT A PARODY!
in this context, there's no disrespect
This song is MY THEME SONG
Same here, pretty salty they removed it from spotify !
why the fuck is there so many autistic as fuck people in the comments. go touch grass
And the song wasn’t out to hurt anyone. But yet it got stomped on.
I had the toothbrush that sang this song while you brushed, but the clean version. This changes so much, thanks mom
Depending on the time it was made... if it was the 80's im not sure it will have changed that much
you had a toothbrush that sang let's get it started
@@patrickgrondines2221 it was called toothtunes bro I had We Will Rock You on mine
@@obeseperson oh ok
@@obeseperson man that’s a nostalgia trip bro
This is the superior version
But aren’t you happy they put out a version that everyone can enjoy? When I go to parties and people start getting drunk and doing drugs, people don’t say “hey let’s get fucked up, let’s get retarded”.

Criminally interviewed and under quality. This is the version we all need

Should have a uncensored spike mix
love this version
Thanks for posting the original version. It's not even offensive, they just say the word.
I wasn't even aware of this version's existence. If it wasn't for *Internet Historian* mentioning it in his *rejected.* video , I still would be thinking that "get it started" was the only one.
It never even sounded right, sounds inserted in post.

Shit still bangs so hard, that baseline man is so fucking iconic, one of my fav baselines to play
Agreed it goes so hard, the walking bassline is so fun. Especially when the drums kick in the verses/chorus and you play harder.
I was today years old when i found out that this was the original song
Can't get enough of this BEP song!!!!🔥🎯👌🏿
First words are literally "In this context, there's no disrespect" how could it be interpreted as malicious
lets get retorded
my niga
shame it got taken off spotify
R-E-T-A-R-D-E-D!!!!!
The fact that my parents weren't bullshiting about this when I was five...
when all the bros get on discord.
The best original in the history of songs. Do not bury this, it cannot be contained
I wasnt sure if these were the orignal lyrics or if i went mental 20 years ago and dreamed it up. Im relieved this exists
As an autistic person this is the theme that plays every time I enter the room💯
(Actually autistic btw)
I actually have MR. We aren’t the same.
This was actually played in the radio 😂😁
Bruh I remember riding down the road with my mom when I was like 6 getting DOOWN to this song. This version is fire, that "Let's get it started" bullshit needa go.
This song was back on spotify for like a day, then got removed again, fml
They literally say in this context there's no disrespect
Jamming to this at my part time after school job not even thinking twice about the lyrics. The 2000s was such a wild time. 😂
ok now it makes the sense the "let's get ooou oouu" part
Holy crudd I never knew this version lol
It's certainly ironic how a song symbolizing the current society is getting banned by the current society. Thanks for carrying me through the school, BEP

I always thought this was, like, a joke version, but no, it's the original
The anthem of wrestling fans!
Why did Fergie spell it though lmao
The OG
Impactada, siempre pensé que era Let's get started 🥲
the guy in bottom left corner looks like if scout from tf2 cosplayed as eminem
oh man my favorite gen alpha playlist was this along with skibidi bop bop yes yes and digital circus theme song and fucking oi oi oi song with my hero academia characters in it as of emo goth boy
Personally I prefer the Clean Version (which is rare for me, I usually like OG versions), it flows more naturally.
Interesting time capsule to say the least considering how much we cancel each other over the use of this word nowadays😮🤔
Instagram and TikTok anthem
Hell yeah!

This version is ass but lovably so
Get it started is the better version 🥶
i like both versions
no
This is good, but get it started is better
I personally enjoy this one more, but that’s probably because of the shock value of them singing the r-word like fifty times
No
