• Eve's 1999 debut album LET THERE BE EVE found this feisty female rapper emerging definitively from the shadow of the Ruff Ryders crew, establishing herself as a hip-hop artist to be reckoned with. Eve's up-front approach and image betray no weakness, but on SCORPION she's comfortable enough with her credibility to allow for melodic pop hooks like the tasty, Gwen Stefani-sung chorus of "Who's That Girl?" in the arrangements.
• "Swallow it up while I shove it down" is the imperative Eve directs to those who thought she'd be a one-hit wonder. If anything, SCORPION improves upon the first album, employing a wider range of styles that adds some funk and R&B to the mix, and utilizing a wider sonic palette. Of course, it's Eve's lyrical skills and forthright, confident approach that add the definitive signature to this impressive sophomore effort.
