Review :

With Eve-Olution, Eve is back and better than ever. While scoring many mega hits such as Blow Ya Mind, What Yall Want, Love Is Blind, Gotta Man and Who’s That Girl, Eve’s charisma and style make her instantly likeable. Her lyrics and delivery have all anted up and she has become the top female rapper in the game. Lyrically, Eve is on another level and can’t be touched. She has come a long way since her start with the Roots popular "You Got Me".

The only problem Eve has ever had was her beat selection. She has been stuck with Swizz Beats, an aight producer with occasional flashes of brilliance, but DEFINITELY can’t sustain an entire album. And with Eve albums his time behind the boards has been cut down drastically for each album. And for this album he only produces two songs, which is great. Hopefully next album there won’t be any of him. She gets the right producers behind this thing such as Dr. Dre, Irv Gotti, Tone & Poke, Bink and others. Eve also recruits some of her industry friends such as Jadakiss & Styles, Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Alicia Keys, and Truth Hurts to help her out.

Of course everyone has heard the superb Gangsta Lovin feat. Alicia Keys, which is off the chain. Other tight songs have to be What, Party IN The Rain, Hey Yall, Figure You Out, Double R What, Satisfaction and As I Grow. The best song on the album is Let This Go, which has a phenomenal beat and melody. This is a song about breaking up with someone and going through the story of why they broke up. Excellent. Even the skits are pretty dang on good and I hate skits. The problem with this album is that it has some ridiculously lame tracks. Irrestible Chick is complete garbage, the Intro is useless, Neckbones has an-impossible-to-flow-over beat and the title track is usless.

Even with all those minor grievances, Eve-Olution is a winner. Invest in this album; I promise you will be satisfied. Recommended.
