With a new single due out by April’s end, Eve is slowly but surely making her way back to the public psyche.
So, in a bid to kick things off on a promo front, she sat down with our friends over at Women Of Hip Hop for a lengthy chit chat, spilling on anything and everything.
Brutal honesty below..
On ‘212‘ belle Azealia Banks:
I like her. I think she knows how to word play and I think that’s cute.
However, when it came to ‘My World’ star Iggy Azalea, she confessed:
I’m not really into Iggy. Her look is crazy but I can’t f*ck with her music. I just can’t believe it. It doesn’t grab me.
Then, on Nicki Minaj:
People want me to hate on her but I haven’t got anything to say about her. I wouldn’t have a problem putting her on a record- I try to be nice.I know a lot of people are mad at her.
But I get it, I get the whole sh*t, I know she’s going crazy. I know she’s going crazy at the mouth. Yeah you’re doing your thing- terrific, but without Kim you wouldn’t be here.
Going onto add:
Until somebody mentions me by name I don’t care, do you -because all I can do is me.
Even going back, Foxy and Kim both came at me and I was like ‘whoah are you’re serious’, if you want to come see, come see me for real- I’m not that girl.
Foxy made a record about me and was talking wild craziness, but to me it makes me feel like- if you’re thinking about me that much- thinking about me everyday- I’m ‘f*ckin up your life.
Then, speaking on a possible duet with Lauryn Hill, she admitted:
You know what- my one dream collabo would be with Lauryn Hill. She’s always be the one. Unfortunately she’s in a bad mental place right now, but it would be a dream come true.
Source:
Kudos to Eve for being just as honest as she’s always been.
However, despite the ‘kumbaya’ stance she has taken towards Nicki, it’s interesting she accused her of ‘going crazy at the mouth’, completly overlooking why she is doing so (see Keys-gate), and was brave enough to comment on Lauryn’s ‘issues’.
Though her remarks on Iggy were short and sweet, they echo sentiments held by any who remain unconvinced by her.
Sure, though we’re sure she meant no harm, Eve’s comments are all too damaging for a girl who despite being gifted, is yet to prove how she will fare if it came down to talent- and talent alone.
But what do you think?
She would be better off keeping her answers to a friendly minimum instead of saying things like “[Nicki] is going crazy at the mouth” and “Lauryn is in a bad mental place right now.” We all know how quickly these things get blown out of proportion.
Eve Makes it sound like she wasn’t talking reckless about Kim and Foxy in her career (She talked reckless about Kim in “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” and she came reckless for Foxy when she was with Kurupt. Not to mention, who is she to say Lauryn Hill is in a ‘bad mental space’? And WHO is checkin’ for Eve’s new album? she needs to be wayyy more humble, because people sightly forgot all about her.
That’s my gurl!!!!
Eve has been away for so long and yet she’s still relevant. People are still checking for her.
Now this is one of the “Baddest” who have ever held a Mic in her hand
bring it on “Eve” to me you have it all, the vocal, sass and the talent to
go so much Higher if you put your mind to it.
Funny how there is no Single person who can Own and Claim the Entire
Game as their Own, But there dam sure or many who can Demand a Stage
and a Mic and it shows when they or throwing it down, Folks.
Nobody can please all of the People all of the Time, But as long as you can
Please some of the People some of the Time, Then in the Long Run that is
what Counts!!
In Life God give all of us a certain Quality that he himself has Blessed
and no man, woman or Entitiy can take your Blessing away from you.
When you take what you was given and do the best you can with it then you have come to the forefront of what life has to offer you. When you work harder and
smarter to keep yourself and your jobs up then you or putting your best foot forward in the right direction.
If the Master intended for all of us to be Siamese Twins then he would have told us So. But since he made all of us so Uniquely different in colors, heights, and sizes it was not on purpose, it was for his reasons and his reasons along. Many want there to be another Elvis, Mahalia, Whitney But those Qualities was given to them and while there will never be an exact copie or duplicate of any of these Greats who has passed no, there will surely be others who will come so close to them that it will make you do a double take.
Elvis left here , and when he lived he put the “R in Rock n Roll” and since he left us the “Rock n Roll” part of Music still goes on to this day. Mahalia,,,,with her powerful pipes and her soulful church numbers was a living Legend who soared to the outer limits of music and there has never ever been another Song to touch “Imitation Of Life Song” But spiritual Music still carries on to this day.
Whitney,,,,,gone to soon , they all or gone to soon , she put “Pop” music right down front and center and while she was so unique and she was born with it she sored to the outer Limits and even though she have passed on, too music is still front and center with all of our lives in general.
Just goes to show many that even though all of these people made beautiful music not a single one of them OWNED ALL OF THE MUSIC. The all served a purpose and their own causes in their own Lanes in the music Industry. And i do not read, see or hear any one talking smack about who could break it down the best or whos head was the biggest and who was the s*** or the h**, get my Drift, Sore Loosers? And i am still listening to hear some one say who was on this or that level, or which one of them did this or that First, see how Lame many of you sound when you be trying to get that who did it better and whos ugly and whos the s*** and who did it like it’s supposed to be done. Case n Point who dated got married and then had child. Try telling that to all of the women who had Childres first and have never though twice about hooking up with the dads of their babies.
Bottom Line all of the Musician and artist or on a Mission and it’s left entirely up to them if they want their lives to be Chicken salad or Chicken Shyt.
All I can say is PHILLY PHILLY BABY. Being from Philadelphia I will say eve is so Philly. Our city don’t do much talking. You got a problem see me in person. Like she said in her rap once before “Philly known for boxing b****, you betta get it right”. Eve is one of the hardest yet pretty rappers in the game. Trust me she is no f****** punk. She will spit an ill verse and knock you the f*** out. #BOOM
“Black Friday” came after Nicki was chatting s*** for like a year or more… Nice try S(P)AM! lol Can’t wait for Eve to come back!
Tee you what while i might be a straight “Warrior” for Rihanna’s cause you can bet your sweet ass i try my best to keep my house in order, simply because theres so much that is going on with every day people and they had better be getting their lives in order to the best they know how. These Millionaires count their millions like we count our hundreds and it’s fun standing for them but in all fairness to each of us we had better try and keep your live and house in order, just in case…
Tell you what….
What i look like standing for my “Fave’s” and my bills or not paid? or the
pantry and freezer is empty, or i got teeth that is out accross the front of my mouth, or don’t have great Health Insurance, see what i mean? None of us or millionaires and i know that if we was we would not be on a blog going Nutts over the harsh things other people say about your Fave to get a rise from you, right? Therefore you can bet that me and my circle or concerned about our own personal well fair first and fore most and then it’s on to the blog to dual fight and fuss till the cows come home!!
Eve is a bad ass Rapper and she make sense in her rhymes she don’t sound Kiddie at all she speaks to a persons mind set.
Hmmm they call all the others Gimmicks? Eve will be able to still shut shyt down
watch!!
I like Eve, wish she would comeback, but I don’t see it happening, and her and Nicki would be a colabb!!!
Sam, do you REALLY think Iggy cares what Eve thinks about her?! Whatever. Otherwise I don’t see the hype about Azealia, but ok. No wonder FB couldn’t take her career toanother level, always beefing w/ some one, from her hair stylist to Eve. So low.
Eve’s “Love Is Blind” ***
What does this b**** know about “Lauryn Hill mental health”?
Do she know her personaly?
Don’t f*ck with L-Boogie! Lauryn is more talented that she will ever be.
Focus on your music rather than talking trash!
To answer ur question I don’t think she was out of line, she just spoke her mind, nothing wrong w/ that.
Eve should make a come back good gosh its been years n Lauryn Hill Love Azeliea Banks Shes Amazing….Iggy Good Gosh Shes Good But People Wont Rate Her …Nicki Minaj Let Her Do Her Thing She’ll Die Down Eventually
Eve honey, aint no one checking for ya especially Nicki. U will need her to collab with u if u want to make a successful comeback because she has blown up in a way u never did. In fact she is the most influential rapper of all time.
hMMMMMMMMMMM sKNEEEEEEENNNNNNNNN
wATCH mA Video its Ma FiRST One Please n Happy Easter !!
Everyone knows Lauryn’s been in a bad place for years now. That’s no secret.
As far as: “Sure, though we’re sure she meant no harm, Eve’s comments are all too damaging for a girl who despite being gifted, is yet to prove how she will fare if it came down to talent- and talent alone.”
Eve is one of the most talented female rappers in the game. Anybody will tell you that. She is one of the few real female lyricist in the game. She knocked doors down for female rappers, doing music, television, and a clothing line before any of these new girls were thought of.
So give respect where it’s due.
I concurr with every word EVE said. She can talk that talk cus she can back it up.
What the f**k u doin in hiphop if u gonna walk on egg shells? B**** gosing country with Taylor Swift
I liked Eve til now i know she not talking about no one talking crazy at there mouth the shots she took at Kim and Foxy first every time Nicki name has came up she kept it cute now she has a single coming out she wants to take shots and she dont know where Lauryn is mentally Lauryn would not give Eve the time of day and before Eve fans start screaming Eve is hip hop Nicki pop lets check Eve singles most has been hip pop or some ja rule rap song type s***
im surprised she aint mention Nicki’s recent interview where Nickh said all other female rappers live in low income housing. Hmm. Oh and Nicki will NEVER work with another female rapper. Lol NEVER
Eve didn’t say anything wrong!!!! I agree with every word she said Yeah her & Kim had beef but their cool now MOVE ON s*** they did. More power to eve good to see she’s finally back!
I still don’t know who either Azealia Banks or Iggy Azalea are? Their music never plays on any station I listen to…LOL! Iggy needs a beat down for that comment however! Her flow is whack and her look is cheap!
Let’s not be cute! Black Friday (1 of the best DISS records ever) came after the many shots Nicki threw at Lil Kim, so stop playing! I would like to see them move on though. A record with the two of them on it would be crazy IMO!
So, is Lauryn Hill falling apart AGAIN? I thought she was pulling things together. Damn, Eve was wrong for mentioning her mental health IMO! 🙁
Man I miss the days of Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, “Evie E”, Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliot, Erykah Badu…. #i’mjustsaying
Black Friday is still f****** Nicki up????? Excuse me, Black Friday was a response to Romans Revenge and every other diss song Nicki put out against Kim.
Suck my cream.
EVE is right and no TGJ,she has nothing left to prove to anybody.
I conccur everythng she said for everybody.I got what Nicki is doing and why,she should stop talking s*** about other people beceause tables turn real fast in this game.Ask Gaga how she felt when Adele came out!!!
@LAX please stop spamming the blog
Love Eve. The girl can spit. And I agree with most of what she said. But everyone knows Lil Nicki was throwing darts at Kim for a minute before Lil Kim even responded. Also @I Guess, Queen Latifah bust that door down right behind Will Smith. This was well before Eve was snatched up by the Ruff Ryders.
I wonder if sicki pay this web site cause all they do is hate on kim. What About all the goof stuff she said about kim It’s not there but if it was sicki it would of been in full details. SMH at this site
My Girllllllll can’t wait for EVE’s comback. Yes there is a God and he’s good all the time you best believe that.
LMAO what happened to Phittedphilly look like he go blocked finally
@Kat ,,,Stop waistin Yo time trying to tell me how to fukkkkin act.
@Kat,,,Skip, Hop and Jump Yo ass right over the Bytchs
and have several seats with the rest of them and wait for
me to give a Fukkkk about what you think of me Spammming.
I don’t see Yo Ass breaking down any doors tryin to stop Others from Hating!!!
My thing is why people like nicki and keri have too be so fake like why tallk about someone in a song then say you was not tallking about them.
People before commenting on Eve’s comments, listen to the whole interview.
Eve was speaking what everyone is thinking.
Yes Nicki has gone crazy at the mouth and “she would’nt be there if it wasn’t for Kim”
Azaelia Banks has amazing word play and surprised us all.
Iggy has great style but her music isn’t great.
Lauryn is in a tough mental state. Has anybody seen her on tour, she is constatly late and screams through half of her set.
Eve is a rap veteran, she showed her skill and gave us amazing pop tracks as well as rap tracks.
People don’t come at Eve for saying everything we’re thinking but afraid to say.
If you mama failed then no one will,you are clearly deranged but stop spamming because you are making the blog lame 😕
Black Friday was a response to Romans Revenge
@max
Lauren Hill is not in a great place mentality and you don’t have to be someone friend to know that.
@ SASHA
Let the Church say YAAAAASSS! Preach.
Let’s talk about all those features Nicki did which was dissing Kim. Hello Good Morning, Monsta, & others before Kim came out with Black Friday. Prune Juice suppose to be Nicki biggest fan but gloss over Nicki dissing Kim a year before Stink Friday came out & that cd still had disses about Kim on there.
I Love Eve!
Eve ft. A. Keys- Gangsta Lovin
That was my shiiit!
How the hell is Eve going to speak on Lauryn’s mental state. She is tho one that had to walk around with an ankle bracelet on for her activities. She is the one being passed around to these trashy looking white men. She is the one under investigation by congress for her activities with her ex-fiance. Eve does not know what Lauryn state is she needs to worry about herself.
Isn’t Eve a former stripper??? She is one to talk about other females, that trick who sold her body to men for money. Eve fall da fugg back biotch!
Who cares? That has nothing to do with anything.
I’m glad EVE spoke her mind. A lot of ppl in the industry know what’s going on, they just don’t want to speak. Nicki started this beef back from the early 2000’s. How can you purposely emulate & copy another female rapper & disrespect them while you’re doing it & try to act like the fans & other ppl don’t see it. Perfect ex: Nicki’s new video “Beez in the trap” she’s emulating Kim once again. Why can’t ppl open their eyes to see Nicki as a fraud. Why do you think she sat in that interview & said she wanted to “fill Kim’s shoes”? What real woman does that. Ppl this was set up from the start. Kim was always their target, no other female rapper. I’m telling yall Nicki, her team & label are all EVIL. Open your eyes.
@GIVEMEABREAK
poking on Eve’s weak’s spots does not change the fact that what she said about Lauryn is the easter gospel tea. she wasnt throwing shade or mocking. she didnt say her own life was dandy either.
Its common knowledge by now(except to clueless Nicki fans/Kim haters aka Thatgrapejuce staff) that Nicki started the beef and was taking jabs at Kim looong before Kim put out Black Friday. So Sam your attempt to come at Kim again is invalid!! Eve is right Nicki is going crazy at the mouth but I look at like this…Nicki is hot right now and everyone is praising her and kissing her ass but just like those that came before her, she isn’t the first and she wont be the last and she needs to remember that
I can’t f*** with Eve after those ignorant comments she made. Who cares what she has to say when she’s not putting out any music? I don’t get why the “rap gods” always hate or have negative things to say about the new generation. She needs to dust the dust off her mic & get off her ass. I’m more interested in your music then your opinion!
THE H** IS LOCAL AND IS A FLOP….
HER CAREER IS DONE….SHE NEED TO GO BACK TO HER LITTLE ACTING GIGS
I always heard this site was a bunch of Nicki d*** riders and Kim haters…whoever wrote this story needs to do their homework and see all the disrespect Nicki has thrown at ALL female rappers and in some case targeting Kim…she said all the female rappers need to feed her grape cause they career is dead and recently she said that they live in LOW INCOME HOUSING…Nicki need to realize that this s*** won’t last forever for her wack ass…she move too fast she gon crash and burn and her “Career’ will be so short lived people will blink their eyes and forget about her existence…lame ass pop “star”
I guess this makes her a bitter hater for speaking her mind without all the ass kissing. Even if I don’t agree with some that was said, she spoke her mind and I’ll respect that.
@ Justathought Exactly i mean you really said what was on my mind it’s crazy! lol
& yall please follow me now: http://twitter.com/shynlownoam
Do your homework dumb asses! Nicki threw shots way before Black Friday came out. How yall going stan for someone and not know the history of their work? Dumb ass
REAL MUSIC SUPPORTER did she ever called anyone of them name,only thing nicki ever said way back was kim i am coming for that crown thats it thats the only time name was called,and if nicki wasn’t the sh-t right now none of that wouldn’t have mattered,eve have a single coming out and is looking for a buzz,so she did the next best thing go ofter the chick who is at the top nicki minaj,so said so done she got her buzz good are bad a buzz is a buzz,so she can’t talk all she want are try to justify it,she was looking for a buzz,she dis nicki for that nothing more nothing less thats it.
Nicki stans are the worst. They find anything anyone say’s about Nicki as shade. Get over it everyone doesn’t have to kiss her ass. Eve and Kim and Missy would kill her if they felt like it. Nicki fans are like sheep, no personality of their own. Nicki tells these fools to jump they jump. Sad when you let a woman who didn’t give you life have so much control over you.
What I would like to see from some of the veterans of the female rap genre is to shut the f*** up and handle their business. Eve is a beast and is one of the best rappers period. However she chose her path – television, fashion and abandoned rap. I think she may have had some contractual issues with her label as well. Regardless, she can easily comeback (she’s very young – only 33) and I don’t see her having a hard time scoring hits again.
But all this Nicki Minaj criticism and now coming at Iggy and all that. It’s just so lame. Especially saying that ish about Lauryn Hill. C’mon now! That isn’t right! We don’t know what’s up with L-Boogie and I don’t think it’s fair to speak on someone’s mental health. That ain’t right.
These female rappers MUST let Nicki go. She is doing her thing and at the TOP of her game right now. There is nothing they can say or do to stop her. It’s done and over with. MOVE ON. Be grateful that Nicki came out and kick the doors wide OPEN for female rap because NO ONE was checking for ANY female rapper in 2007-2010 PERIOD. The Grammy’s and other award shows removed the female rap category because there was NO ONE. Now we will have multiple nominations this year BECAUSE of NICKI.
Peeps just need to step their game up and stop f*****’ talkin all the time and do what it do. For real.
I agree with everything Eve just said, especially about iggy wuts-her-face-white-ghetto-girl, she got attention from me when she made that racism comment, aside from that, i’m not trying to give dat ish no attention point blank…
im a nicki fan. i dont think Eve was out of line. honestly, if celebs dont kiss ass 24/7 people say its hating
“Romans Revenge” was in response to mad sh*t talking Kim had been doing in every interview she had, at her small gigs and website. Nicki took forever to address it. Remember that.
And I don’t consider this a “slam” at all.
NIKOYUKI shout da f-ck up,you represent everything you are talking about are you must be there looking in the mirror are something,you Bias contradicting b!tches,and like i said eve have a new single that is coming out that,s why the b!che is talking restless to build some buzz she did got it though,and you MILLIONDLADRE get da f-ck out of here this is one of the few sights that is not hating on nicki minaj and it,s obvious you have a prob with that,so like i said get the f-ck out of here,i bet you are one of them haters over by nicole b1tches who is hating on nicki 24 hours,like i said not every site can bet that bucket of hateful b!tches jealous crows it,s one of many.
Dead @TGJ The women of hip hop put up a post on their fb page asking their fans not to read TGJ blog becuase they hated on Kim, not too long ago. WOHH is a Kim stan so she was pressed at TGJ. Now TGJ calling them friends. This s*** funny.
I actually like Eve, but who is she to throw shade at Lauryn Hill???? I mean maybe Lauryn does have some personal stuff going on, but honestly, who hasn’t at some point in their lives. I mean I saw Eve’s behind the music and she’s the last one to be calling anyone out on their mental state.
As far as Nicki Minaj, I can’t really get with her, I don’t know if she’s a rapper or pop singer. But its gret to see her succeed.
First, Eve is a great lyricist. I’m waiting for her comeback.
@MOBWIFE
Idk who the hell these people are either. Iggy Azalea and Azaelia Banks. I only read about them on this blog.
Also, Eve spoke nothing but the truth .
Eve is a very talented female rapper, one of the best IMO. I think she has the right to voice her opinion. But it’s not her place to divulge Lauryn’s mental state publicly. I agree with her on the Nicki vs Kim comments. I’m not a fan of either but I’ve never seen one artist copy the image and style of another artist to that degree. Who is Nicki? When I look at her I just see someone who bites off Kim period. Actually I can think of one other example, Gaga with Madonna. It’s hard for me to have much respect for Nicki and Gaga. They are mainly carbon copies of two artists who paved the way for them I don’t see much self identity in either one of them. And when they try to pay homage, especially where Nicki is concerned, it doesn’t seem authentic. While Nicki has taken hip hop to a whole new level and enjoys a higher level of success I don’t think she will leave the type of mark that Kim made on hip hop with such songs as Crush on You and No Time and collabos like Not Tonight (Ladies Night remix) and Lady Marmalade. I’m not a fan of rap in general, but so far Nicki’s songs are very forgettable IMO. Like hits today but forgotten tomorrow, like several other big names of today.
homemade bronzer for skin and body
get ready for the summers beam of heat right here:
http://batshare.com/smoheo1znzl4/homemade_bronzer_for_skin_and_body.zip.html
I agree with everything she said, ESPECIALLY about Iggy Azalea’s annoying ass with that fake forced ghetto accent! She irks my spirit! Eve actually kept it VERY cute and didn’t ‘slam’ anybody. TGJ was reaching, as usual, for hits from the gullible retarded barbies.
I respect Eve for being REAL and speaking her mind and not ass kissing like so many people do. She didn’t praise Nicki (cause there is no praise to be given) but she didn’t slam her at all. She basically stuck with ‘if you don’t have something nice to say then don’t say anything at all’. You can read between the lines and see that she probably isn’t a ‘fan’ of Nicki, but she doesn’t feel the need to throw shade.
And for the idiots who can’t read, she did NOT throw shade at Lauryn. Lauryn really does have mental issues, it’s no secret and if you have watched any of her recent performances she always seems out of it. Even Wyclef said that Lauryn has mental issues. It’s really sad how some people mistake truth for shade. SMH.
Anywho, Eve is one of the dopest, realist female MC’s of the last 15 years. Obviously her career hasn’t been poppin for the past few years but I believe she is still one of the best out there and has something to offer. Her verse on Luda’s ‘My Chick Bad’ proves that she still as hot as she was back in the day. I would love to hear new music from her and revive this this stale climate of female rap right now. She may not be able to be as big as Nicki but do believe she will be able to deliver some heat. Anything is better than what we have now.
kelly rowland drops the video for heaven & earth http://youtu.be/nRETiR1a2N4
well she said how she felt, no sugar coating added , she said she’d work with nicki and that she wouldn’t be here without Kim, much of what the rest of the world is saying! But i’m still a Nicki and Eve fan so WHEN THEY DO! both work together, every other female rapper, KICK ROCKS!
She looks like Whitney in the photo. Hope she could act …
I love Eve! She always speaks the truth! She belongs to the real hip hop club! Something a lot of you Nicki stans will never understand! SMH
agree with everything she said…..can’t for something new from her!!
you know what eve i was wit ya till you tried to throw that little now just a little jab b**** kim has already ate you a new ass hole we is on new beef eve ! and i like you dont get me wrong … but b**** stay in your lane ok kim got gutter flows you dont ..you try to go there but never take it there… like you walk around s*** in your flows …where as kim b**** she tell you whats on her mind thats what we like but we like you too ..dont get me wrong you were just out of line with that and as far as fox who cares .. and who ever else you were speaking of …go kim..
