"Like That" is a song by The Black Eyed Peas that features guest vocals by Q-Tip, Talib Kweli, Cee-Lo, and John Legend. It is on the group's 2005 album Monkey Business.
The song, although accompanied by a music video, is not an official single; it is the B-side to "Pump It". This is the second time that The Black Eyed Peas have done this, the first being "Don't Lie"/"My Humps". will.i.am himself mentioned the song "is more underground hip-hop, where our roots came from ...". The song only features minimal background vocals from Fergie, a big change from the previous singles from Monkey Business. It samples an Astrud Gilberto song named "Who Can I Turn To? (When Nobody Needs Me)".
[edit] Music video
Launch.com premiered the video on January 3, 2006, and it was circulated heavily on MtvU on its release. The video is based on a graffiti style and begins with each rapper appearing on screen against a scratchy, heavily graphic produced backdrop. Q-Tip comes in saying "Wow, we're in stereo", then the beat drops. When the rappers perform their solos, some of the words are mentioned and hightlighted in graphics beneath them. The overall feel resembles the cover of the Monkey Business CD. On music video channels it is sometimes called "Like This" instead of "Like That."
The video was filmed exclusively against bluescreen and was directed by Syndrome & Nabil Elderkin.
