Description

Eve-olution is the third album from Ruff Ryders member and former stripper Eve. As one of the few successful female rappers out there, she's made a name for herself by playing the boys at their own game. Eve spends most of this album proving she's as tough as the rest, particularly on the hard-bitten "Let It Go" and the funk-filled title track, in which she spits out her venemous lyrics in a way anyone familiar with her two previous albums (,Scorpion and First Lady) will be well attuned. Throughout Eve-olution Eve paints herself as the Hustler's moll, the Bitch, the savage partner to that othermore… hip-hop staple The Dog. It's a mentality most clearly outlined on the 70s-style single "Gangsta Lovin" in which she croons alongside Alicia Keys and Angie Stone about the do or die emotions of loving a hoodlum. After the commercial hits with Gwen Stefani and Dr Dre ("Let Me Blow Ya Mind", "Who's That Girl"), Eve can pull in further big names such as a typically lackadaisical Snoop Doggy Dogg on the laid back "Hey Y'All". As Eve turns stellar (she's in two forthcoming movies) there are fewer and fewer contributions from her Ruff Ryders crew members. DMX is particularly notable by his absence. This perhaps explains the weakness of tracks such as "What!" and "Ride Away" which are nothing more than average mainstream hip-hop pop. Eve does have her soft side as witnessed on the treacly "As I Grow", all synths and self-loving, but this album is for the hardheads, both male and female. Eve wouldn't want a better compliment than that. --Jake Barnes
