Eve (rapper)

In 2004, Eve appeared alongside Kevin Bacon in The Woodsman. (Greatest Hits and Compilations appear in bold). Officially Eve is a part of Aftermath Entertainment, but she is still signed to the Ruff Ryders management company. George Clinton recorded several solo albums (sometimes under the name George Clinton & the P.Funk All-Stars). Dre is the executive producer to the album. As the 1980s wore on, legal difficulties arising from the multiple names used by multiple groups, as well as a shakeup among Parliament's record label, Parliament and Funkadelic disintegrated. Dr. The song charted at the same time as the titular song to Clinton's Funkadelic's The Electric Spanking of War Babies.

Eve is working on her fourth solo album on Aftermath Entertainment. With the new found fame of Funkadelic, longtime members Fuzzy Haskins, Calvin Simon and Grady Thomas (who were original Parliaments) left the group (in 1977) and released a single, "Connections and Disconnections" under the name Funkadelic (in 1981). The owner tried to blackmail money from her with the pictures. The titular track spent six weeks at #1 on the R+B charts, while Parliament was enjoying success with "Flash Light" and "Aqua Boogie.". In the summer of 2003, there were some nude pictures that surfaced online that were allegedly of Eve in a sexual pose with another woman, taken about eight years before, when she was a stripper. Funkadelic recorded and released its magnum opus, One Nation Under a Groove in 1978. "Gangsta Lovin'", with Alicia Keys, became another pop hit and Eve closed out 2003 by signing to UPN for a television show about a fashion designer. In 1977, Westbound capitalized on the success of Tales of Kidd Funkadelic by releasing The Best of the Early Years.

She released Eve-Olution, her third album, in 2002. The same year, Westbound released archived tracks as Tales of Kidd Funkadelic, which did significantly better than Hardcore Jollies and included "Undisco Kidd," a R+B Top 30 single. Eve then appeared in XXX with Vin Diesel and in Barbershop with Ice Cube. 1975 brought Funkadelic to Warner Brothers, and saw the release of Hardcore Jollies in 1976. The song won a Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration and Scorpion went platinum. Michael Hampton, a seventeen-year-old guitar prodigy, replaced Hazel. The follow-up, Scorpion, was released in 2001 to good reviews, but the second single, "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" (with Gwen Stefani of No Doubt) became a pop success. In 1972, this new line-up released America Eats Its Young, but many members left the group after that, due to internal squabbles, plus Hazel spending a year in jail for drug possession and assault, Tawl Ross experiencing either a bad LSD trip and/or a speed overdose, while Billy Bass quit due to financial concerns.

Her 1999 debut was Let There Be Eve...Ruff Ryders First Lady and the album was an unprecedented success, the first rap album by a woman to enter the American charts at #1. The brothers would go on to become major contributors to the P Funk sound. Her single "What Ya Want" soon became a hit, and she collaborated with The Roots and Blackstreet and Janet Jackson, further expanding her fanbase. After the release of Maggot Brain in 1971, Bootsy and Catfish Collins joined the group. She had, however, befriended DMX and appeared on It's Dark and Hell Is Hot and other Ruff Ryders' compilations. Worrell would go on to produce many Parliament and Funkadelic albums, as well as play keyboard on albums by other members of P Funk. Her label, Aftermath Records, found itself in financial trouble and Eve was soon without a record contract. and Your Ass Will Follow, thus beginning a long collaboration between Worrell and Clinton (who had been friends for quite a while).

After a period of working as a stripper, Eve returned to hip hop at the encouragement of pop superstar Mase; she recorded "Eve of Destruction", which appeared on the soundtrack to Bulworth in 1998 (see 1998 in music). Bernie Worrell was officially credited starting with Funkadelic's second album, 1970's Free Your Mind.. She adopted the name Gangsta in high school as part of an all-female group called EDGP (pronounced Egypt) and eventually went solo as Eve of Destruction. The credits listed organist Mickey Atkins plus Clinton, Fulwood, Hazel, Nelson and Ross, though the actual recording also included several sessionmen, then employed by Motown, as well as Ray Monette (of the Rare Earth) and Bernie Worrell, all uncredited.
