Eve

Hollyweird’s ex-gangsta girl is clawing and fighting to get her fourth album on somebody…hell, anybody’s shelf:

Rapper/actress EVE is desperate to release her long-awaited fourth album – because she fears its songs will become so old, she’ll be forced to rework them again. The Tambourine hitmaker was originally due to drop her disc Here I Am on Interscope in a joint deal with Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment in August 2007, but after months of wrangling, the CD never materialised.
Now signed to Geffen Records, Eve is itching to get her music back on the radio – after being forced to re-record a host of tracks on the newly-titled Flirt.

In an interview with NYPost.com’s PopWrap blog, she says, “Unfortunately I am caught up in a whole music label situation. The album is finally going to come out this spring or summer. But with all the time that passed, we went back in and reworked the whole thing.”

And Eve decided to scrap a number of mid-tempo tracks in favour of more club-friendly beats – because she didn’t want to be reminded about the uphill battle she faced to get her album on shop shelves.

She adds, “I had to get in there and put in some upbeat music that I wasn’t depressed about… It won’t be called Here I Am anymore. Now it’s called Flirt.

“I am truly, truly sitting on some amazing music. Nobody’s been waiting longer than me to get this monkey off my back!”

Hmm, does Eve still have it? Or, does she need a storebought Clairol Honey Blonde kit and some clippers before you can ride out to her music again?

Peep a few pics of old Eve below.

  • http://YAHOO mzprettylady

    I love Eve and hope she brings some fire because she was one of the best and had some great classic music “Love is Blind” “Gotta Man” two of my favs bring that fire Eve and I will be supporting you!

  • ms meca

    I HOPE SHE COME BACK AND STILL BE AS GOOD AS BEFORE.. SHE WAS A REAL TRU FEMALE RAPPER WHO ACTUALLY COULD RAP

  • Tiffany

    Eve will come back hard. Tambourine was smashing when it first came out, she just had a bad follow up single. Eve is one of the greatest. Shes up there with Kim and Foxy. She can definately push some units.

    We need female rap in this game again.

  • truth, iam a girl

    i miss that girl! Flirt would be old news cause someone already did some song called Flirt or like that. I believe it was R.Kelly. Um Eve what happen to the clothing line?

  • Buggin_Out

    Eve’s old news… She stayed away too long and the game passed her… Bow out gracefully, stay gone!

  • you already know

    BOSSIP Y’ALL SOME HATERS. I LOVE EVE AND I CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR HER NEW MUSIC. GO EVE SHE IS NOE THE BEST RAPPERS FOR WOMEN IN A MINUTE.

  • lee

    I love Eve. Can’t wait till she come back

  • shesofine

    I like Eve…. she’s one of the better female rappers and she actually makes sense in her lyrics.

  • c from stl

    Eve is actually one of the female rapper’s that I supported and went out to get the album for. She didn’t just talk about s3x and all kind of slutty stereotypes women have…She actually had skills and good production to back it up. If she can get back to her Ruff Ryders days and really bring that heat I’ll definitely be checking for her next album.

  • RANDY

    SHES WASHED UP. HEARD SHE WAS RUDE TO FANS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. WHAT’S UP WITH THAT? WHY SHE TREAT HER FANS RUDE?

  • http://www.myspace.com/ocky_j Octavia

    EVE is the truth. Other female MCs can’t touch her. Eve, Foxy, Lil Kim, and MC Lyte (ol school) are what’s up. Hoes like Trina are just a gimmick.

  • http://www.yahoo.com Shanna

    For the person who asked if she still had her show. They’ve took it off air don’t know why though.

  • Brunssum

    I’m not so sure how successful Eve’s album will be. She’s been M.I.A. from the entertainment scene for so long that I think the public may have moved on. Her album will have to be fire and have a good publicity push behind it to be marginally successful.

  • Fatimah

    I’m not interested but if it’s good i’ll buy it. Flirt is a bad album title if you ask me but hey. Good luck Eve!

  • Tricks are for Kids

    She’s tired. Looks like a dragqueen. she’s weird looking.

  • Dame Beso

    @Shanna:

    I did. It was a pretty good show to me. I used to just watch it for what outfit she would be wearing. lol

    She does have a style to her.

  • K-mia

    yeah, I used to like her show, i still watch reruns sometimes on TVone…her clothing line was wack though

  • PhillyYoungGrownWoman

    1. eve is philly all day.

    2. i think she has outgrown the rapper label..she’s soo much more. acting bests suits her. movie money > fake rap money

    3. why rap when your dating african prince’s?

  • PhillyYoungGrownWoman

    @ Tricks are for Kids

    “She’s tired. Looks like a dragqueen. she’s weird looking.”

    ( my della reese voice in ‘harlem nights’) now i gotta cut ya

  • PhillyYoungGrownWoman

    @ Tricks are for Kids
    :) im sorry. its a philly thing :)

  • Dame Beso

    @PhillyYoungGrownWoman:

    Oohhhh, I’m late. She’s been dating a African Prince???? Wah????? See what happens when there are too many posts on Bey? :)

    @K-Mia:

    Yeah…which makes me think she wasnt even wearing her own clothes on the show.

  • ChocolateKate

    Come back Female rappers!

  • BKLYNZ OWN

    WHO DAT WHITE GIRL

  • http://www.k.com noelle

    Damn, wasn’t those jeans in WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE???? yesterday??

  • Mrs. Rance

    I hope she does make it back. Tambourine was that garbage, but I still love me some Eve. She doesn’t get enough credit for her former hotness. I think she should be mentioned anytime Lil Kim or Foxy Brown are. She was just as hot.

  • in4mustpimpette

    Please Eve Save us all from “Trina”

  • um…

    @ DAME BESO–nah, her show not on but they sho repeats of it on certain stations, i think its TVone–TVone shows all the back in the day black shows, they have shows that u forgot was on back in the day–its coo

  • *Treasure*

    Tambourine was hot garbage. If she wants to make a comeback she has to do better than that tambourine mess.

  • Reality Check

    Whats up with all of these “I AM” titles? First Alicia did it, then Usher, followed by Bey-steal everything and call it your own-once, and now EVE?

  • http://artislife001@yahoo.com Birtany

    eve is too old to be rapping and not attractive enough to do movies or t.v. she may be back on the pole

  • Hey Bossip

    LOL @ Britany’s remark “eve is too old to be rapping and not attractive enough to do movies or t.v. she may be back on the pole”

  • Hey Bossip

    I think this album will flop. She’s been gone for awhile, the music market aint what it used to be, it wont get proper promo, and the artistry is lame. Flirt?! WTF

    What she need to do
    1. Rename the album, Flirt suck and so does Here I Am
    2. Get A hot track with the Game. musically they could work
    3. A track with DMX would be a nice surprise (but we all know they aint gonna happen)

  • AD

    Eve is too hollywood fa me to care, would be suprised if she couldn’t even put it together like she did on her first one.

    Really the game is missing Lauren, and females like Lyte, Moni, and Latifah(if they exist somewhere). Dont get me wrong got mad love for Foxy but truthfully it aint what’s needed. For the record Kim is GARBAGE people always has been, was nice backin the JM days but afterthat she was jus bitin what was out, and now she carrabean on wax and white on the inside…

  • AD

    wouldn’t be suprised, my b

  • Lisa

    Eve is looking real white lately.

  • MzTee

    She looks better with the short hair. All the damn weaves have her looking like a hot mess.

    Sistagirl should return to her roots — literally and figuratively.

  • Mannie

    This is a woman that has a sex tape out but yet goes around preaching her wisdom. Some classy lady!!!

  • v-FROMROCK

    If she has the proper promotion and songs then I think she can make it. Too bad Lil Kim could of cornered the market but she got sided tracked with her plastic surgery. I still think Kim is one of the tighest female rappers around.

  • http://BOSSIP SO HOOD!!

    EVE HAS BEEN OUT OF THE GAME SOOOO LONG, I DON’T THINK SHE CAN MAKE A BIG COME BACK. TAMBOURINE >> HATED IT!! SHE’S GONE HOLLYWOOD YA’LL!

  • AWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAAAAP!!!!

    I like her sway. She’s delivered consistently up to now. I know she can do it again. I’ll be checking for her new jawn. (But damn – everybody’s feeling the pinch. The music business is falling apart.)

  • Southern L.A. Gal

    Eve, probably won’t be able to get the results she want on sales…. She should just find another medium.. Acting, no. Books, no.. Hair/clothing line, no… I am not buying all these things to make someone else rich, when who knows how things may turn in the future. Tambourine, I didn’t like either. When she first came out and when she first left R.R. I liked her. She is Hollywood too blk outside and white inside. No identity. Just do what makes do. I love her style! Change that hair color. And talk about real things. I also like Yo Yo and Lil Kim, is cool. I like Gangsta Boo also, she use to be with Triple 6…. Female rappers where you at!!

  • Southern L.A. Gal

    I meant not enought blk inside. She went too Hollywood. You know how (they) make use suffer with identity crisis, cause we the have nots and they want to be like us.. So we change for the title/fame/money. As Lil Kim (her face). Mis Viv Fox. I am just saying.

  • Marshabio

    I buy her music, so I guess I like her..
    Hate the hideous hair color though..
    Eve, come back to earth..

  • Mia

    sorry – Eve is too Hollywood now with her very own Billy Bob Thorton – nothing she raps about will be believable – not interested. NEXT.

  • Scooby Dubious

    We need more actors who can rap! Why doesn’t Wilfred Brimley have a record deal?

  • I can’t say….

    She look more like a baby monkey in a tu-tu!!

  • PRADA…

    I LIKE EVE BUT DROP THE ALBUM GIRL ITS GONNA FLOP EITHER WAY BUT ITS COOL LOL.

  • Lucius Fieldon

    She already looks like a pitbull in a skirt. This is one UGLY woman.

  • Candace

    I love eve she is a very good rapper ill be waiting on her return i cant wait to the day all the female rappers just make a comeback really strong and give us something more to listin to besides the guys. you know thats its long over due because they dont even have an award for that catgory(best female rapper)anymore!

  • Money Baby

    LOOK @ my bestii!! i love u eve! dnt let em stop u. du wat u gotta du ma-ma!

  • big_watcher

    She needs to go back to stripping or go hard in the porn business, cus as a rapper she ain’t believable no more. It will be like Kim K, Paris, hilton or naomi campbel trying to rap.

  • Don’t mind me

    I think she is lovely looking

  • sexy

    Did ya see her wrestling in a strip club years before she was famous. She looked like a damn dog, ya’ll. Eve is ugly, she just makes herself up with wigs and fake shit. She has no natural beauty. That is not natural beauty.

  • http://artislife001@yahoo.com Birtany

    I agree EVE should do hard porn. Now that is a good career choice and the clothing line should be geared toward porn stars. EVE is one ugly chick. take away the weave and make up and you really do have a pit bull!

  • mY “b”

    I love EVE!! Come back and be that hard core Philly rapperista we know you are!!

  • SingLad

    There’s that desperate thing again

  • http://www.myspace.com/morebootylicious Cherry-licious

    Eve used to have a very beautiful chocolate complexion, why is she looking so white lately????
