2 out of 5 stars All Bark, No Bite... {2.5 Stars}.......2007-01-16

Let me just say that I don't think Eve is all that great. When compared to her contemporaries, she sorely lacks in so many categories. She never had one of the greatest pen her lyrics like Lil' Kim. She doesn't have much of a lyrical arsenal, no matter how fictional, like Foxy (I Shot Ya Remix, anyone?). Bahamadia, Lauryn Hill, Rah Digga, or Psalm One? She's not even in the same stratosphere. So what makes Eve appealing to so many people (myself not included)? My theory is that an average rapper got together with the hottest crew out (at the time) and the result is three mediocre discs. What appeals her to most is her content, which is understandable. The concepts for "Love Is Blind" and "Heaven Only Knows" are as insightful as they are relevant. "What Y'all Want [Remix] is a nice little throw in and "Gotta Man" was a nice little single for a while. Outside of those joints, things begin to fall apart.

The problem I kept running into was Swiss Beat's lifeless production coupled with the fact that Eve's flow isn't all that interesting. Too many of the tracks sound like they were made on Swiss' casio and Eve is pretty much saying the same thing in 75% of the songs. For example, "Philly Philly" would be a solid song if the hook and production weren't so lame (her collabo with Beans on his album was way better) and "Let's Talk About" doesn't work at all. Also, "Stuck Up" and "Ain't Got No DOugh" are just plain corny and none of the skits add anything to the album whatsoever.

Ruff Ryder's First Lady is a decent album that lacks in places. Despite the holes, it's still worth looking into if you can find it in the used bin for less than $5. Just don't go into it expecting to be blown away.

Standout Tracks: Heaven Only Knows, Love Is Blind, Scenario 2000 feat. DMX, The Lox, & Drag On, and What Y'all Want [Remix]

Love is Blind is an excellent song. The CD is well done the skits are fitting. And who doesn't like Eve?
