She is also the inaugural winner of the [[44th Grammy Awards|Grammy Award]] for [[Best Rap/Sung Collaboration]] in 2002, for the song "[[Let Me Blow Ya Mind]]", with American singer [[Gwen Stefani]]. Eve was number 48 on [[VH1]]'s "''50 Greatest Women of the Video Era''" list. As an actress, Eve is known for her roles as Terri Jones in the films [[Barbershop (film)|''Barbershop'']], ''[[Barbershop 2: Back in Business]]'' and ''[[Barbershop: The Next Cut]]'', as well as Shelley Williams on the [[UPN]] television sitcom ''[[Eve (U.S. TV series)|Eve]]''. She has also achieved success in fashion, with her clothing line, Fetish. ==Early life== Eve was born in [[Philadelphia]], [[Pennsylvania]], the daughter of Julie Wilch, a publishing company supervisor, and Jerry Jeffers, a chemical plant supervisor.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.filmreference.com/film/69/Eve.html|title=Eve Biography (1978-)|publisher=|accessdate=11 March 2015}}</ref><ref>http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20138039,00.html</ref> She adopted the name Gangsta in [[high school]] as part of an all-female group called EDGP (pronounced "Egypt") During her early years in Philadelphia, she was educated at [[Martin Luther King High School (Philadelphia)|Martin Luther king High School]]. Eve's first musical interest was singing. She sang in many choirs and even formed an all-female singing group (Dope Girl Posse or D.G.P.) with a manager. This group covered songs from [[En Vogue]] and [[Color Me Badd]]. The group's manager suggested that the group should rap after seeing ABC, and Eve stuck with it. She then went on to form a rapping group. After the group split, Eve began working on a solo career under the name "Eve of Destruction." Eve has lived in [[Los Angeles]], [[New York City]], and most recently has resided in [[London]]. In 1999, she was featured on [[Prince (musician)|Prince]]'s album ''[[Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic]]'', and she was to co-star on the eventually cancelled ''Hot Wit' U'' single from that same album. Eve is featured (along with [[Erykah Badu]]) on the song "[[You Got Me (The Roots song)|You Got Me]]" by [[The Roots]], from their 1999 album ''[[Things Fall Apart (album)|Things Fall Apart]]''. The song won a Grammy Award in 2000, which should have been Eve's first. She stated on ''[[Late Night with Jimmy Fallon]]'' in 2009 that she did not receive a Grammy for the track. [[Questlove]], from [[The Roots]], had brought his Grammy to the show that night and showed she's not even credited on the award plaque. She also provided background vocals on the song "Ain't Sayin' Nothin' New" from the same album. In the album's liner notes, she is referred to as Eve of Destruction. ==Career== ===1998–2001: Beginnings and breakthrough=== Eve first appeared on the Bulworth soundtrack as Eve of Destruction while signed to Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment. She did not receive much promotion with big releases soon coming from Dr. Dre, so she collaborated with DMX and the Ruff Ryders on her first single as a Ruff Ryder [[DJ Clue?]]'s [[The Professional (album)|The Professional]], along with other Ruff Ryders' compilations. In between those releases, Eve guest appears on [[The Roots]] fourth album [[Things Fall Apart (album)|Things Fall Apart]] with the single "You Got Me"; although she did not appear in the video <ref>http://www.allmusic.com/album/things-fall-apart-mw0000039775</ref> Her next single, "What Ya Want", featuring [[Nokio the N-Tity]] of [[Dru Hill]], became a top 40 hit on the U.S. [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] peaking at 29. Her 1999 debut, ''[[Let There Be Eve...Ruff Ryders' First Lady]]'', was an unprecedented success, making it the third album by a female rap artist to top the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]], behind [[Lauryn Hill]]'s [[The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill]] (1998) and [[Foxy Brown (rapper)|Foxy Brown's]] [[Chyna Doll (album)|Chyna Doll]] (1999). Two singles were released from the album: "Gotta Man" and "Love Is Blind" featuring [[Faith Evans]]. The first one peaked at number 26 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, the second one at number 34. In November 1999, Eve featured on [[Missy Elliott]]'s single "[[Hot Boyz (song)|Hot Boyz (Remix)]]" along with [[Nas]], [[Lil Mo]] and [[Q-Tip (rapper)|Q-Tip]]. The song became a hit, spending 18 weeks at number one on the [[Hot Rap Singles]] from November 16, 1999 to March 7, 2000, and reaching number 5 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] . The follow-up to ''Ruff Ryders' First Lady'', ''[[Scorpion (album)|Scorpion]]'', was released in 2001. Its first single, "[[Who's That Girl? (Eve song)|Who's That Girl]]" guaranteed the rapper first international success. The second single, "[[Let Me Blow Ya Mind]]" (with [[Gwen Stefani]] of [[No Doubt]] and produced by [[Dr. Dre]] co-written by then-boyfriend Stevie J.), became a pop success, peaking at number two on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]]. The song won a [[Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration]], and Eve eventually went platinum. One of the record's strengths, cited in several reviews, was Eve's exploration of her singing voice in addition to her rapping skills. "I was a singer before I started rapping," Eve said in a Ruff Ryders press release, "so on this album I wanted my audience to hear more of my vocal skills".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.answers.com/topic/eve-rap-artist?cat=entertainment|title=Eve|work=Answers.com|accessdate=11 March 2015}}</ref> ===2002–2012: ''Eve-Olution'' and guest singles=== [[File:Eve Whip It TIFF09.jpg|thumb|left|Eve at the premiere of ''[[Whip It (film)|Whip It]]'' at the [[2009 Toronto International Film Festival]]]] Eve's third album, ''[[Eve-Olution]]'', was released in summer 2002 (see [[2002 in music]]) and peaked at number six on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]].
