Eve shares her karaoke moments and life-changing verse

Eve, a rapper and author, reflects on her musical journey and the songs that have shaped her life. She recalls that the first song that truly impacted her was 'Cappucino' by MC Lyte, which sparked her love for music. Currently, she is excited about a collaboration with Sia and Chaka Khan, describing it as the perfect morning anthem. Eve's first cassette single was 'Love Me Browning' by Buju Banton, purchased from a street market in Philadelphia. At karaoke, she enjoys performing 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)' by the Eurythmics, a crowd favorite that she can manage despite not considering herself a singer. The verse that changed her life was the first one she wrote for her debut album, 'Let There Be Eve… Ruff Ryders’ First Lady,' which she felt had to be exceptional as she was the new artist on the label. This verse holds significant emotional weight for her. Eve also shares her appreciation for various songs, including 'Starman' by David Bowie and 'Abracadabra' by the Steve Miller Band, the latter of which she loved before Eminem sampled it. She expresses a desire for her music to resonate with others and acknowledges the beauty of these records. When discussing her funeral preferences, Eve reveals her non-traditional views, stating she wishes to be cremated and placed in a beautiful urn, rather than having a conventional funeral. This reflects her unique perspective on life and death, emphasizing her desire for a personal and meaningful farewell.
