Hip Hop can easily be viewed as a male dominated genre. And while there have been many female MCs who’ve attempted to break that mold, only a few have been successful. And Eve is one of those women.
Initially known as the Ruff Ryders’ First Lady, Eve Jihan Jeffers boasted herself as a strong, independent woman who doesn’t take bull---- from anyone. With rhymes that can eat you up and spit you out on songs like ‘Who’s That Girl?’ and ‘Gangsta B----es’ off her 2001 album, ‘Scorpion,’ Eve came off as the MC you don’t mess with. However, as she proved later on in her career, the super short platinum coif, dog paw tattoos on her bust and sexy yet tomboyish style, Eve started to soften her image and look and even record songs that aren’t as rough around the edges including ‘Gangsta Lovin’’ with Alicia Keys and ‘Never Gone’ with Chrisette Michele. Despite the more feminine look these days, Eve showed that she hasn’t lost the edginess of performances such as her Gramercy Theatre gig in New York. Performing to a packed house, Eve, dressed in black leather with fringe, took fans on a journey through her song catalogue. From her first album, ‘Let There Be Eve...Ruff Ryders’ First Lady,’ to her more recent ‘Lip Lock,’ she brought me back to my childhood. Listening to her since primary school, finally seeing her perform these songs brought a new meaning to me. Back then, I used to do everything in my power to learn every lyric though it probably wasn’t proper for me to do so at that age. But now, songs like ‘Love is Blind’ and ‘Let Me Blow Ya Mind’ are a bit more relatable, and as the cliche goes, it was like she was performing them directly to me.
What makes an Eve show even more fun is the fact that she loves the crowd participation. During her performance of ‘She Bad Bad,’ she invited two men onstage to dance for her and naturally joined them. With a pretty successful career and a slew of hits to back it up, Eve is an artist that won’t only bring you to your feet but will also keep you going till the next morning.
