10 Times Eve Blew Our Minds

Happy Born Day to the pitbull in a skirt.

Happy Birthday E-V-E! - A lot has changed since Eve, the Philly rapper turned world traveler/wife/poet/actress/game changer (as per her Instagram bio) released her debut album, Let There Be Eve...Ruff Ryders’ First Lady, in 1999. But one thing's remained the same, Eve is still vicious on the mic. Now that she's heading into the her 37th year of life, we thought it would be a great time to take a trip down memory lane and revisit her standout tracks. — Janice Llamoca (Photo: Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images)
