Vibe tells us why EVE left Interscope
By Natalia V
Eve who's debut album off Interscope, Let There Be Eve... Ruff
Ryders' First Lady, debuted in 1999, says she loves the label's
chairman, Jimmy Iovine, but admits that he's motivated by trends,
no matter how much faith he's already invested in a senior artist
- "I'm not going to talk shit about him, but I don’t
appreciate the fact that he didn’t go the extra mile for
me."
However, the main reason the Philly chick says she left
disgruntled has everything to do with a pledge that was made to
her before her 4th album, Flirt was meant to drop in 2007.
"They promised me the machine. The machine is
basically the roll out. It’s 'Yo, when [Flirt] comes out, we’ll
give you this, we’ll give you that. And that’s what made me mad.
It’d be different if we didn’t have a mtg where people promised
me shit. If they were just like ‘Oh we’re going to put the album
out and see what happens,’ that would be one
thing," she says.
"But they were like ‘No, we’re making sure this
happens, it’s coming out on this date.’ It was concrete. But it’s
all good, everything happens how it’s supposed to, when it’s
supposed to."
Eve confesses experiencing a short surge of confusion.
"I definitely went through a period of ‘Are you
serious?’ I think I didn’t know how to feel. Once it finally
happened, it’s like 'Damn, so you wasn’t really fucking with me?'
I went through a lot of different thoughts, but that only lasted
for two days."
Almost immediately after getting dropped Eve went overseas for a
series of club performances off her dubstep record, "Me N My",
and reached an epiphany that even without Interscope she was
still on her right path.
Currently the rapper/actress is still taking major label offers and promises fans that her recharged album, Lip Lock, will be out this year. — Tracy Garraud Vibe.com

Shyne Po will not let up on Mr. Cent ....
By Natalia V
This is the 3rd diss record in a week from
Shyne To 50. And it's odd that 50 has yet to respond when he
responds to lesser challengers all the time.
Interesting.............
