Eve Full Documentary

Описание: Eve is a rapper and actress, best known for hits like 'What Ya Want,' 'Gangsta Lovin,' and her Grammy-winning "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" collab with Gwen Stefani. She's also starred in the 'Barbershop' film franchise.
Synopsis
A self-proclaimed "pitbull in a skirt" — an epithet better suited to her tomboyish early years than now — Eve was barely out of her teens when she had her first No. 1 album in 1999. By 2002 she had two more hit albums and won a Grammy — her sound and colorful personal style bridging the gap between the feminist Queen Latifah and the more overtly sexual Lil' Kim. Eve's music career has since been sporadic, although she has enjoyed success as an actress, most notably in the Barbershop comedy films. In 2014 she married Maximillion Cooper, the British multimillionaire founder of the celebrity motor rally Gumball 3000, and now lives with him in London. "I'm just a regular chick from Philly," she told the Huffington Post in 2016. "I believe anywhere you're born, doesn't mean you have to stay. You can transcend whatever situation you're in… I'm living proof of it. So I hope that I hold the torch for us women."
Born and raised in Philadelphia
Eve's childhood was far from easy. Born Eve Jihan Jeffers on November 10, 1978, she grew up in housing projects in Philadelphia. Her parents, Julie and Jerry, were supervisors of a publishing company and chemical plant, respectively, and split when she was 12. She lost contact with her father. She attended the Martin Luther King High School and excelled at poetry; she was also a promising singer and a regular on the junior talent-show circuit, but switched her focus to hip hop at 13, forming a short-lived rap duo, Edjp (pronounced "Egypt") with her friend Jennifer Pardue.
Signing on With Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment
After high school, Eve moved to New York but ended up working as a stripper (a part of her life she does not discuss now). Unhappy with her circumstances, she decided to get serious about a music career and received a break at 18 years old when friends arranged an audition for her with the producer Dr. Dre, who signed her to Aftermath Entertainment under the recording name Eve of Destruction. But she was dropped after a few months — "Dre did not know what to do with me," Eve told Newsweek in 2001 — though a song she recorded for the label ended up on the soundtrack to the film Bulworth in 1998. It was her first tangible success.
Dre's parent label, Interscope, introduced Eve to the Ruff Ryders label and they signed her up — and worked her hard to prepare her for the big time. "It was like a boot camp," she explained to Vibe magazine. "They really put me through it as far as being able to write my own music, just like all the other dudes." In a male-dominated and frequently misogynistic hip-hop industry, Ruff Ryders showed no inclination to treat its first female signing any differently to its other acts, including DMX, Jadakiss and Swizz Beats. "I have always appreciated that they never looked at me like 'Oh, she's the girl of the group,'" Eve told the celebrity news site uInterview.com. "They treated me as equal."
