Eve has returned to the news, but it’s in a completely different form and has nothing to do with her rap but with her upcoming memoir.
Her debut album, Let There Be Eve…Ruff Ryders’ First Lady, launched Eve onto the music world in 1999.
Eve’s status as a trailblazer for women in hip-hop was cemented when the album sold over two million copies.
As a result, she became the third rapper to debut an album at the top of the Billboard 200 chart.
Her impact grew over time beyond just music as a result of her roles in movies, comedy “Eve,” and co-hosting CBS’s “The Talk.”
