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

[Peak]

I could see him doing this

I mean they weren't really rivals as they were all on Def Jam. Hell they had the Hard Knock Life Tour together and almost had a super group with Jay, X, and Ja.

Eve dropping and going platinum off the strength of lyrics and not trying to fukk on wax was crazy for the time. Hence why Jay was goofy as hell calling Eve with that corny shyt, when he lucked up with the Annie sample.

He ain't want anyone encroaching onto Foxy's territory

Eve was never signed to Def Jam. Her album came out on Ruff Ryders/Interscope. Dmx was the only Ruff Ryder on Def Jam until Jadakiss in the late ‘00s.

She wasn’t even signed to him.

 

[Secure Da Bag]

Ppl really mad about this NO Super Bowl.

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

This is exactly why Queen Latifah got at his ass for this shyt.

 

[tremonthustler1]

She wasn’t even signed to him.

but he kept his face in her puss

 

[Redwood]

Which is weird because Lil Kim/Foxy Brown/Da Brat went platinum, correct?

 

[King Poetic]

He was right

He congratulated her but let her know don’t get your hopes to high, nothing wrong with that

Oh damn I always get Ruff Ryders being signed to Def Jam confused, but it was X that was signed. I forgot about Interscope lol

 

[bear27]

Jay been a dikkhead ....pause....this ain't surprising to anyone

 

[spliz]

He ended up being right.

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

Eve wasn't a one album wonder. Lil Kim wasn't. Foxy wasn't. Latifah wasn't. Son u wrong as fukk. Lol.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

where's the lie? She is one of like 8 successful woman rappers ever

 

[L. Deezy]

I understand why you asked thi question.


Cause its corny for Jay to even be talking about biz with other artist on the label.


That would be like Kodak Black telling Cardi B on Atlantic that odont get your hopes up for success when Bodak Yellow Popped.



And even Kodaks would still have a reason to speak to Cardi, Hov had no reason whats so ever to say that.

Right..like unless you are her label head, why would you comment to her like that

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

How dare Hov set realistic expectations

I mean.....it hurts to say it but he ended up being right

Dude making power moves with NFL and etc, while Eve being the help for cacs .
