Watch: Eve Heats Up ‘Hot 97’ / Talks ‘Lip Lock’, Steve J, & More

Published: Tuesday 14th May 2013 by Sam

Today sees Eve‘s long-awaited LP ‘Lip Lock’ strut its way into US stores.

The comeback collection is the fiery femcee’s first studio album in over ten years and has, itself, been in the making for almost seven.

In a bid to leave no promo stone unturned, the ‘She Bad Bad’ rapper stopped by Hot 97 radio today to chat about the album, how love saw her move to London, and her Fetish clothing line. And while largely laid-back, the interview certainly had its “moments” particularly when the topic of ex boyfriend Stevie J (of Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta fame) was brought up. Let’s just say Ms. Jeffers proved that she’s still all sorts of Philly.

Watch E-V-E heat up Hot 97 after the jump…

Great interview, right? Check out our equally as insightful chat with the femcee by clicking here.

    So she seriously released an album today? No one even knows that she made a “comeback”. Her first week sales will probably be worse than Kreayshawn and Nelly Furtado!!!!

  9. truth tea (take a sip) May 14, 2013

    The album will flop.
    However, y’all nicki stans acting as if Nicki will still sell 10 years from now? Eve hasn’t dropped an album in over a decade.
    Lip Lock > Roman Reloaded, Pink Friday and the Re-Attempt.

    EvE is cool, but in my opinion, she is setting herself up for failure this time around. Her style is on point, but she brought nothing new to the table this time around. If Nicki aint s*** else…she is creative. (Still don’t care for her)

    The only way other female rappers can prosper is if they all bring something new to the table that even Nicki hasn’t even done yet. Nicki has made it clear that she knows she’s the best and is comfortable representing female rap alone… Lip Lock is gonna flop like nothing I’ve ever seen, but I still got love for her.

    • truth tea (take a sip) May 14, 2013

      Nicki is not creative.
      She just used the blueprint set by previous female rappers like Lil Kim and Missy Elliott, mixed the style up and impressed the kids.

      • KEY May 14, 2013

        What exactly did Kim and Missy have to do with my opinion? EVERYONE and their mother knows that Nicki is a clone/copycat of KIM. What does that have to do with creativity? I’m talking about her Rapping style. I’m talking about how she blends pop with rap to appeal to a broader audience.

        In my opinion (again), she unoriginal yet ingenious and resourceful. She may have Kims hand me down tools, but it’s obvious she knows how to uses them better. No disrespect to Kim. Kim obviously paved the way.

        I’m just being honest. Not saying I’m spitting facts. These are all my opinions of Nicki….and yet I don’t like her.

  11. Kyle May 14, 2013

    Hey, why don’t yal’ll peep the album before hating on it? She put these b****** on the MAP over a DECADE ago, and this album is SIIICCCKKK!!! Featuring Missy Elliott, Dawn Richard, Pusha T, Juicy J, Cobra Starship, & more. Cut the chick some slack, she did absolutely NO PROMO for this album, so no doubt it will not do very well… But still, its a GREAT album, check it out and relax!

  12. IGGY GODZALEA May 14, 2013

    Eve will flop. No one is checking for her. Out all the female rap vets to make a comeback why must she be the only one to drop an album? Why can’t it be Missy, someone who actually brought something new to the table?

  13. KEY May 14, 2013

    Yall keep riding on the fact that these rappers paved the way for other rappers like Nicki. WE ALL KNOW THAT. Does that mean that will keep them on the map? NO. They have to bring it just like the “copycats” or they will ultimately be overshadowed by these “copycats”.

    This is a fact.

  14. WomanToWoman May 14, 2013

    Setting yourself up be dragged hun

  15. Clean out yall ears please May 14, 2013

  16. Lah Robinson May 16, 2013

    Eve came back for her fan everyone knows lyrically shes a lot better than Nicki Minaj her album may not sell but shes true to her craft and her work. Eve is real you guys are just used to this fake ass weak songs that clearly shows that you are brainwashed mainstream crap slimworm imbeciles. REAL MUSIC DOESN’T EXIST ANYMORE !! Eve is a breath of fresh air to rap. Nicki is just a mainstream puppet gaming these young girls on to become s****. She only appeals to ages 13-16 ! EVE came up in a different ERA when real hardcore n***** was spitting so PLEASE stop hating BUY #LIPLOCK #EVE #INSTANT CLASSIC Follow her on Twitter and on Instagram @therealeve ! #SUPPORT REAL RAP NOT FANTASY CRAP !!

    • channel_PINK May 18, 2013

      But the songs on her album is using the same formula as Nicki’s so she’s doing something she’s not.

  17. Lah Robinson May 16, 2013

  18. Lah Robinson May 18, 2013

    Thanks (For Supporting Lip Lock) Eve warned us that she’s using a bit more Pop & Reggae to it. You right it does have the same formula as Nicki but Eve lyrically is much better… I like Nicki but Eve is a lot better.
