Rapper Eve Reveals Jay-Z Called When Her Debut Album Dropped & Told Her Not to Get Her Hopes Up Because Female Rappers "Don't Really Do That Well

[O³ (O cubed)]

He ended up being right.

Outside of Nicki every female rapper ended up being a one album wonder, Lauryn included

Missy Elliot

 

[Cuban Pete]

But Camel dikk suckers one starred my thread asking if Joe Camel is the biggest hater in the Hip Hop industry


You seem to be only concerned with dissing women

 

[Yinny]

Not to hate, but her career kinda proved his point, no? Might have been out of the loop, but didn't hear much about her after her debut.

She won a grammy, released two more albums and then did movies. She also had a slew of hits her last being Tambourine iirc

These nikkas are Drake Stan status

 

[ScoopNScore]

Not really seeing where he was hating. Dude congratulated her on breaking through at a time you had to be sexual outside of Lauryn to make noise

Some things never change

 

[Standing on business]

nikkas in here tryna defend and then wonder why X always felt a way about Jay during that time. Lol. nikka was pulling shyt like that. Meanwhile trying to push his own female artist in that time frame.

Tell me again why X felt a certain way about jay, these are the RR CEO’s talking in this video, no speculation just facts.

 

[big bun]

Album was trash. I listened to it once then frisbee’d that shyt out my car window.

 

[J-MIL]

He told no lies

 

[SunZoo]

How is he discouraging her? The album was out lol.

Hell lil wayne got his hopes up now he look like a sad junkie

You are cold as ice lol, bitter ass breh.

 

[SunZoo]

A couple points

- I don't know if I believe her especially in the midst of selling a book and very likely isn't quoting him verbatim wether it's due to time or dap fishing.

- Even if he said it exactly how she framed it, that's a sober take. Out of context of the rest of their interactions, sounds like the issue isn't the statement itself but him taking time out of his day to be a dikk about it.

Or better yet that could get her to fall back so he didn't have to "drop A Mil" lol...ya'll give this nikka too much credit and not enough all at once.

Oddly enough that Eve’s career kinda fizzled out after the second album…


Good thing that she got into acting.

With that being, Jay was a dikkhead for saying that knowing he ghostwrote for Foxy who sold a mill on the first album

 

[Mac Ten]

Jay didn’t get to where he is being a nice person

Pretty much…

Jay knew how to play the game especially when he got his own label.

Eve had a spark when she started though.

 

[Mac Ten]

He wasn't wrong.. for every 1 Eve there's a hundred Ms. JADE



Plenty of people have talent and don't make it

And even with all that success I never hear anyone ever mention EvE not even in Philly

Ms. Jade’s first album wasn’t bad…. The singles weren’t bad to me.


Damn Timbaland didn’t even know how to run a label. He’s the reason why Pastor Troy’s career wasn’t the same.

 

[Mac Ten]

Missy Elliot

Missy Elliott was already plugged in with Timbaland and Aaliyah plus she was already ghostwriting…


Tim was producing whole albums like Mannie Fresh

 

[Mac Ten]

Jay was probably throwing shade at Eve considering that she was with his frienemy…

Eve stood with the best of em.

I’m glad that she didn’t go the Trina/Kim route.


Foxy pulled that on the second album.


Crazy enough that Chyna Doll is a personal fav of mines
