"After listening to lil kim's new album, la bella mafia, i thought eve's album would look pale by comparison. How wrong i was. The album is all-round superb, combining her chilled sensitive style (which sees her teaming up with alicia keys in the track 'gangsta lovin') with her aggressive and authoritive style (seen on the track 'double r what', featuring jadakiss and styles.)Her collaboration with the Lox has given eve the ability to stand tall on both street and commercial level, much like Busta Rhymes. Few artists can claim to have harnessed both markets.Well known hits include the new smash 'satisfaction', 'gangsta lovin', and 'let me blow ur mind'- all of which have elevated eve's public profile immensely. The remaining tracks will not dissapoint, all of which i believe would be huge successes if released. Even the 2 skits on the album make good listening.Eve is a work in progress, and this album is a huge step forward 4 her career. Her rapping has clearly improved, and her overall style has matured. She sounds better than ever on this album.Watch out lil kim- Eve is on top right now. And backed by the lox, who would bet against her staying there? Foxy Brown is going to have to do something special to take the crown. But 4 now, the crown must go to eve."
