Eve Announces New Single ‘She Bad Bad’ / Unveils Cover

We were beginning to worry, but it looks like Eve is finally back!

After a lengthy hiatus, one characterised by legal issues and a label change, the self-professed Pitbull In A Skirt barks back with new single ‘She Bad Bad’ – the cover for which she unmasked on Twitter moments ago.

The cut, which hits iTunes tomorrow, is the first effort to be lifted E-V-E’s EMI debut which boasts production from the likes of Missy Elliott and is set for release next year.

With Nicki Minaj having had a strong-hold of sorts on the commercial femcee market as of late, it’ll be uber interesting to see if her success assists the likes of  established acts such as Eve reclaim their spots at the top. As long-time supports of the former Ruff Ryder‘s talent, we sure hope it does.

    Finally real lyrics less Joe jolly ass gimmicks now Nicki can sit her goofy ass down …..

    • Öz Firdevs October 8, 2012

      yap, hopefully

    • QueenOfTheNavy October 8, 2012

      Bet you any money Eve won’t even sell half of what Nicki sold with Reloaded first week.

      I’ll even screen cap this thread and email it you when her album comes out because that’s how sure I am of this.

      Nicki is the Rihanna of Rap. She may not be the most talented but her grind , music and work ethic is stronger than all the other b******.

      • Truehiphophead October 8, 2012

        Of course she gotta grind dickhead all of em had to grind they first go round but since u screen shotting s*** how bout i screen shot her next album sales for her 3rd album see how much of a shining star that b**** is stfu

    • KimmyShotEmUp October 8, 2012

      Make you sure buy her music or else we’ll all look stupid.

      They can’t beat Whoraj if you don’t support them with your money!

    • BarbieWorld October 8, 2012

      Real lyrics? Are Nicki Minaj’s lyrics made of air? No b****, they are real because they are real TO HER. Not everyone wants to talk about struggling on the streets or tricking in the club.
      Some Rappers are actually happy and so rap about happy things. Doesn’t Eve still live in the projects of Philly?
      THE STRUGGLE.

      Meanwhile Nickis out in Malibu taking in the sun and Eve out here dodging gun shots in the hood. I CANNOT.

    • NickiWins,DoesYourFave? October 8, 2012

      Oh God. Eve is such a flop her last album got pushed back by six years.
      Six years! These old b****** need to sit down and forget about making music or face shame and despair when Nicki snatches the few hair follicles left on their bald scalps.

    Oh wow, thats S*** now

  3. Madea October 8, 2012

    DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN SHE NOT PLAYIN SHE GOIN IN

  4. Sarah Says October 8, 2012

    I don’t want a commersial Eve, i want a keeping it real Eve. One novelty act is enough

  5. Beyonslay October 8, 2012

    People say these old timers will come and ‘put Nicki in her place’. I really can’t wait o see that. I can’t wait to see them outsell her. I really can’t, but I know they won’t. Nicki is the s***, and I bet none of the Rap girls will be able to outsell her even if their new sales are combined.

    This is a business and Missy, Eve and Kim aren’t making a profit.

    • Sarah Says October 8, 2012

      Missy is a producer and songwriter so she is making a profit. and the others done made a profit by not selling out, keeping it real and still managing to cross over.
      Sometimes respect is better than sales and will give you longeivity .

      • MJForever October 8, 2012

        “Sometimes respect is better than sales.”

        Tell that to her label’s finance and marketing department. When will you people learn that this is a BUSINESS. Labels don’t care about what you did twenty years ago unless they continue to make major bucks from it.

        Missy and the rest were good for their TIME, but they are not going to impress on the charts this time around and the sooner you accept it the easier it will be for you when their sales are revealed.

        Nicki Minaj didn’t get to judge on American Idol or become the face of Pepsi or have two number one albums because she’s a gimmick or a copy cat. She got there by building a strong fan base who worship the ground she walks on and will buy anything she puts out.

        Plus, she sold out by making Pop music which gets her radio play on so many different formats which makes her more attractive to her label and the companies she works with.

        Unless Missy and co cut some kind of deal with the radio to get their music played every hour on the hour they are going to flop miserably.

        That doesn’t mean their music will be s***,it just means their labels will have even more of a reason not to support them.

      • Sarah Says October 8, 2012

        If they are so washed up why are they still releasing music after long breaks with major record labels? Clearly someone thinks that there is still some interest in them?
        As for Nikki, he gimmiks are exacty why she has become popular and has those endorsements, her strong fan base is due to the bright colours and childrens televisision outfits that appeal to 5 to 25 year olds, pop music lovers and reader of TGJ. If Nikki was doing what she was doing with regular outfits and her original skin tone she wouldn’t be as successful.

      • Dat Bish October 8, 2012

        Look, this is the business. A label will only give you a shot. If you think Eve is gonna come out the gate coming for Nick’s head. It ain’t gonna work. Respect is only earned in the business by the money that is made via record sales and touring. Eve might as well be a new artist. Lil Kim has a better shot at a come back because her return of the queen tour was successful. Eve hasn’t had a hit for years. She quit the game for greener pastures, Tv shows, fashion lines and dating a string of wealthy men, some with dirty money.
        Respect and power and iconic status is based on how much you sell. Don’t believe me ask Adele.

  6. MC October 8, 2012

    I can’t wait to see her new material. On a side note, she has no boobs…..just saying.

  7. nunu October 8, 2012

    Finally I miss her 🙂

    • Öz Firdevs October 8, 2012

      me too ..

  8. MJForever October 8, 2012

    I’m sorry but even if you think Nicki’s music is trash you can’t deny she’s slaying all of these girls.

    How many artists (rappers or non rappers) are debuting with over 200k nowadays, or can say they’re being picked up by international brands, or have as many as chart entries as she does.

    Eve and the rest are Rap legends but they’ve had their time and one day Nicki will too, but I’d advise any of their stans to be careful of thinking they’re going to have successful come backs when the truth of the matter is that their labels won’t make them a priority and so radio won’t back them.

    Nicki is a gimmick and hella fake but she is very smart and has all her business cards in order, she knows how to brand herself and knows how to position herself as a brand worth investing in. Eve and the others girls just aren’t that appealing to the general public in the way Nicki is and because Hip Hop fans will only support artists who get a heavy push (Drake, Asap, 2Chainz, Weeknd, Wayne , Jay and Kanye) Missy and Eve are going to flop.

    Im sorry to say it but its true. Can you really see them getting love on the radio, or people rushing to download their music when it’s out.

    I can’t.

    • Öz Firdevs October 8, 2012

      Yes, because she is doing whats in right now…house, pop bla bla bla. no wonder she has success though

    • Öz Firdevs October 8, 2012

      plus she is coping lady gaga in every way !!

      • MJForever October 8, 2012

        Your argument is so flawed its sad.

        So when people go on Itunes and pay their 10 dollars or 99 cents for her music they’re doing it because she’s copying Gaga? If that was the case wouldn’t they just buy Gaga’s or Kim’s music?

        Right? People buy Nicki Minaj because they LIKE it. L.I.K.E. LIKE IT! Not because they think she’s an impostor or a fake but because they like it.

    • Sarah Says October 8, 2012

      Again, i dont know how you’re comparing, the music is different. It’s like comparing Flo-rider and Pitbull to Biggie and pac

  9. the real xoxo October 8, 2012

    YES! Eve was the main girl for the kids too young for kim and foxys time and too old for gimmicki minaj
    Im definitely checking for her.

  10. theman October 8, 2012

    I hope she does really well, she is really skilled.

  11. Career Ender (Fierce Warrior) October 8, 2012

    These 90s returning Hip Hop divas are gon flop. This is Nicki’s World, she gon mop the floor with their asses

    I mean we have Rihanna moping the floor with ol’ F****** Carey’s ass and wigs both on BB 200 and 100 and everything. Cc Those 2 messy cowriah Stans

    • QueenOfTheNavy October 8, 2012

      Thankyou sis!
      They say they’ll buy her music but they won’t really. The other Hip Hop girls are legendary but their time is long gone. Its Nickis time and Azealia is close second.

      • truth(i exsist to SLAY nicki and DRAAAAGG her stans u FUNKY b**** October 8, 2012

        you and that B**** you cosigning with both need to mop…yall smelly p****** with pinesole chile!!

    • MC October 8, 2012

      “I mean we have Rihanna moping the floor with ol’ F****** Carey’s ass and wigs both on BB 200 and 100 and everything. Cc Those 2 messy cowriah Stans”

      Boo, I noticed your always asking for my attention. I know you miss me b****. As for Rihanna mopping the floor on Mimi’s ass on the BB 200….lol Mariah’s Christmas album sold more than Rihanna’s best selling album. As for Hot 100 Mariah already has 18 #1s more than any solo artist >>>> more than your fave who couldn’t garner a hit last era. You are asking for it, because if anything Rihanna is wiping out YOUR fave….so sad that your fave could barely sell her 4th album. Tragic indeed. At the end of the day, your fave stans for my fave so case closed. #Staypressed #Tryagain.com

    • ImMadAsHell October 8, 2012

      But all their 2nd cd are platinum.

      Nicki 2nd cd is a flop.

  12. theman October 8, 2012

    What do u mean assist Eve? Eve has a fanbase, she doesn’t need Nicki’s assistance.

  13. cde October 8, 2012

    Can we all stop trying to pit every female artist against each other! I mean Fans/Stans it is ridiculous! Missy said it best there is room enough for everyone! Missy, Eve, Kim etc are LEGENDS. They are veterans! EVE crossed over years ago and was able to leverage herself from a hood rich rapper to a bonafide brand with music, clothing, and a successful television show which she co created and executive produced. Missy is a successful rap artist, writer, singer and producer. Missy’s checks have never and will never stop. In a already male dominated industry, I am tired of all these blogs and fans pitting women against each other. There is room for everyone’s tastes and why do Eve and Nicki have to be competing. Kim, Foxy, Eve, Missy, Da Brat, paved the way for the female rappers of this generation and the women before them paved their way. As an audience we need to begin to applaud and facilitate harmony instead of vicious hate.I’m just saying!

    • sharon October 8, 2012

      Remember when female rappers actually had respect for each other and got along! *sigh*

  14. KimmyShotEmUp October 8, 2012

    CALLING ALL HIP HOP HEADS.
    There is no use in dragging Nicki because guess what? When she puts out music her stupid Barbs buy it, so we gotta do the same for our faves. Don’t say you support the true Queens of Rap if you only support em on Twitter and the blogs.

    BUY THEIR MUSIC! PLEASE! Don’t give the press an excuse to say Nicki is beating them, don’t give the haters a chance to say theyre has beens.

  15. TeamEveandMissy October 8, 2012

    I wuz so exited when I seen dis single cover on facebook and then I had to go check twitter to see if my eyes wuz playin tricks on me. E.V.E aka Pit Bull in a Skirt is back bitchesss. Real bars, real hip hop,and no gimmicks. I can’t waaaaaaittttt. She been releasing lyrics from dis song 4 2wks now….so I am ready to hear the sound the beat the production bcuz if u didn’t knw EVE is capable u will knw. She lookin fierce and effortlessly. Get ready haters to be slayed by a true femcee.

    • Gaga/Nicki/2Ne1 October 8, 2012

      The only way your favs will slay is if someone invented a time machine and sent them back to 2001. The year is 2012 and their time is DONE.
      Pledge your allegiance to Nicki Merficulraj and your life will be much easier.

      • ImMadAsHell October 8, 2012

        Why Nicki 2nd cd only sold 660,000 in USA. after 6months. She brought out several dongs only Starships did good. It looks like ya’ll aint buying Nicki s*** either.

        Eve, Missy, & Eve 2nd cd went platinum before 6 months, with only one or two singles out.

  16. Nicki Germinajotta October 8, 2012

    Why do these girls even bother?

    Nicki’s been slaying them since 07 and outsells them even at her lowest. If these aged hip hop divas couldn’t sell big in their prime why do you think they could do big numbers now.

    This is no disrespect, but in an age where Nysnc and DC were selling between 600k to 1 million copies in their debut weeks, Kim and Eve sales were very poor. Lauryn was the only one who could give the Pop stars a run for their money, the rest were too busy trying to be gangsters to prolong their careers past 2004.

    Eve tried her best but what’s left of her brand now. You flops better support them because if you don’t we gon have a field day up in heeyuh.

  17. DaHotNig October 8, 2012

    Why is Nicki always the target? Y’all said krim was gonna dead Nicki, didn’t work. Then came Iggy..where is she? I like azelia but she get more headlines for beef than music. Then came Missy, love her but where are those 2 singles? Nowhere. Now we have eve who album got pushed back more than frank ocean tonsils. I think it’s time to give up on any female coming for Nicki in that way. Just enjoy the music!

    • OnikaSlay October 8, 2012

      Thankyou. Kim tried and failed and these others will fail too. Zats why they so mudd!

  18. Career Ender (Fierce Warrior) October 8, 2012

    We all know Nicki gon outsell Eve + Missy + other lessors combined together

    I agree with @Beyonslay and @MJFan

  19. Rock$ October 8, 2012

    Time To Remove Em#EarPlugs Real Hip Hop Moguls Are In The House!We Are Coming To Get Em!

  20. NickiWins,DoesYourFave? October 8, 2012

    Eve is going to flop harder than Kims plastic surgeon did at his plastic surgeon exam.

  21. Peter Griffin October 8, 2012

    I just re-downloaded ‘Tambourine’. That beat is like a flippin’ orgasm. One of the best songs of 2k7. E-V-E best bring that energy back to 2012. Get them shaking every f***ing limb!

    • AzealiasKunt October 8, 2012

      Did you pay for Tambourine?

      • Peter Griffin October 8, 2012

        Of course, what do you take me for :-\

      • Dat Bish October 8, 2012

        I hope it was paid for. That song flopped so bad when it came out!

  22. OhPlease October 8, 2012

    In order for Missy, Kim, and Eve to be successful this time around, they need to really hustle. I’m talking collaborations with many relevant artists, more TV appearances, etc because otherwise they won’t do as well as they’ve done in the past, or in other words “flop”.

  23. Ohdeam October 8, 2012

    Please. Nicki’s 15 minutes is down to the last 5. That episode she just had with Mariah the other day made her lose a bunch of respect in the general music community. These female rapper icons are actually coming back out at a PERFECT time, because you can already sense the backlash brewing against Nicki. As people begin to tire of Nicki’s antics and gimmicks, they will look elsewhere. And lets not forget that the only reason Nicki even has a career at all is because she came out at a time when all of these REAL female rappers were on hiatus and thus had no competition. For all intents and purposes, Nicki is the the quintessential “seat filler”.

    Real talk: perhaps 1 Missy or 1 Eve or even 1 Kim couldn’t shift attention away from Nicki…but if they **all** return at around the same time, I promise you that the strength in numbers WILL be enough to derail her.

    Oh, and LOL@the idiot who referred to Eve as an “old timer.” You do know that she’s only a few years older than Nicki, right? 😆

    • Dat Bish October 8, 2012

      Please the only person who got nailed was Mariah who had to FIRE her entourage or GET fired herself for disrupting the set and spreading lies to TMZ. Mariah nearly got her ass fired for what she did to Nicki. Learn this, power means that they would rather get rid of the Mariah Carey than Nicki Minaj because Nicki is hot and Mariah is not. The industry will not put cash into hasbeens to try to knock off Nicki. They can all comeback at the same time and they will still flop because like Mariah they are so 1998-2001.

      • sharon October 8, 2012

        you seriously need mental help if your gonna compare a legend to nicki! nicki made a fool of herself on that video regardless of what happened before or after. irrelevant or not mariah will always be praised and respected in a way that nicki will never be.

      • HaterzStayPressed October 8, 2012

        @sharon Who is praising Mariah? Most people are saying that she looked childish and that her entourage started the whole thing in order to get Nicki pushed off the show. It didn’t work so whatevs… Mariah doesn’t have power. She looks like a foolish hasbeen who needs help with her dead ass career. Legend or no, Mariah needs to have a seat.

        E..V.E. is NO icon. Salt N Pepa? Yes… Roxanne Shante? Yes. Miss Melodie? Yes. Lil’ Kim? Yes. Queen Latifah? Yes. Missy? Yes. Lauryn Hill? Yes. Eve? HELL NO her ass threw it away in order to be a TV and fashion star.. NOPE that flopped for her ass so she started f****** a dictators son for money.

        Keep that s*** moving. Nicki’s crown is secure.

    Nicki your wasting your time!

  27. EveRyder October 12, 2012

    Ima need all you lil barbies to go back on the shelf and relax. Whether Eve sells or not, babygurl got over 8million in akbum sales. Thas not including how much she made off hits that paved the way for this minaj character such as “let me blow ya mind, “gangsta lovin” oh and “Tambourine” which did very well without being released on an actual LP. Yea Eve been gettin pushed back for a minute but fact of the matter is she’s still solidified. Yall too high on this nicki cloud, its gonna be a really hard fall. Pump ya breaks. Eve doesnt have to compete. her lyrical content from previous efforts speak for themself. Eve has won countless awards in her day, collaborated with the likes of nanes like Prince, and Michael Jackson

Eve doesnt have to compete. her lyrical content from previous efforts speak for themself. Eve has won countless awards in her day, collaborated with the likes of names like Prince, and Michael Jackson (and thats just to name a few) Shes had numerous endorsement deals including pepsi, mac, reebok, boost and more. not to mention the tv show, clothing line and movies under her belt. Check her resume, aint nothing old but her money hunny. For the record she never went anywhere if yu were eve fans you would know that for the past 3 years up to today shes been selling out concerts over seas ( I say well played) considering the fact that the US aint really buying records like dat, its best to keep ya name international as Eve has done. Not only does she have her own label Blondie Rockwell inc. but babygurl has a film production company “shape shifters” trust me this is only eves second wind. Nicki really should pay homage to a b**** like her, but thats not Eves focus. Her focus is gettin back in the game and making music for us, her fellow Bombshells. Not the barbies “inadimate objects with no brain. Plastic individuals with little to look up to bseides the likes of Nicki Minaj who by the way only got in the game with a gimmick and thas not even talking bout how much of lil kim styled she jacked (i’ll leave that to kim fans) Eve however came out as herself, ruff and rugged and 100 % real bringing a whole new image to female rap, she broke barriers darling. Check the facts. But with all dat said cause lord knows I can go on and on but wikipedia, rockonthenet, imdb, they sum up her resume pretty good. Instead of comparing her to nicki, yall should pray 10 years from now Nicki could only dream of making a comeback from whats about to go down cause her time is running out. Period. Welcome back Eve. Weve missed you.

    We All Know That That S*** That Nicki Minaj Does Isn’t Gonna Last Very Long, I’m Just Saying. Eve Was Smart She Had Her Fans Wait For Her CD So That When She Does Released It, The Real People Who Loves Real Hip-Hop Is Gonna Buy It. Theres Alot Of People Who Can’t Wait For Eve’s CD To Hit The Stores. I Highly Doubt That Eve’s CD Is Gonna Be A Flop Cuz The S*** That I’m Hearing That She Been Putting Out Isn’t Crap And She Gots That Smooth Hood Flow That Nicki Will Never Have. Lip Lock April 2013! Can’t Wait!
