Bridging the Gap is the second studio album by American hip hop group Black Eyed Peas, released on September 26, 2000. This is their last album as Black Eyed Peas, before they changed their name to The Black Eyed Peas.
The album had three official singles: " BEP Empire/Get Original", " Weekends" and " Request + Line", the last featuring Macy Gray. The song "Weekends" was later remixed and renamed "Another Weekend" for the Deluxe Edition of their fifth studio album, The E.N.D. Singer Kim Hill left the group during the year of this album but she is featured on the song "Hot", seen in the "Weekends" video and is the background singer in "Tell Your Mama Come". The album received favorable reviews, and holds a score of 74 on Metacritic.
"Bridging the Gap", the second single from Nas' Street's Disciple, features his father, Olu Dara, and samples music from Muddy Waters' " Mannish Boy" composition. Olu Dara provides the hook of the song by talking about his path and how Nas was born. Nas and Olu Dara performed the song many times before the release of Street's Disciple, generating buzz as the release of the album drew near. The song is referenced in the title track of The Game's song " The Documentary", when he says, "Now I understand why Nas did a song with his pops".
The song is featured in the film A Prophet, directed by Jacques Audiard.
