Eve recently shared her perspective on which female rappers are most likely to endure in the ever-shifting landscape of hip-hop. Speaking on Fat Joe and Jadakiss’s podcast, she selected a few names she believes embody the potential for longevity. Her choices included Doechii, Cardi B, GloRilla, and Latto—artists she respects for their talent and relevance—but she tempered that recognition with caution, stating, “I don’t think it’s going to be a lot.”
Among those she named, Doechii stands out as perhaps the most compelling example of lasting promise. Earlier in the year, she made history by winning the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album for Alligator Bites Never Heal, becoming only the third woman to do so. Critics praised her for blending neo-soul, 90s boom-bap, and modern hip-hop, while capturing deeply personal themes with emotional honesty and lyrical depth. Her rise has been viewed as a symbol of a broader shift toward authenticity and nonconformity in rap.
Outside of Doechii’s emergence, Eve’s selections reflect the broader diversity in the current female rap scene. Cardi B and Latto occupy mainstream spaces, while GloRilla brings raw energy and street-rooted storytelling. Yet her remark underscores the challenge many female artists face in sustaining success amid fast-paced industry cycles.
Fans and industry observers have noted both the progress and the persistent barriers. In recent years, women like Little Simz, Rapsody, and Doechii have earned acclaim for their artistry, depth, and resilience—yet many talented female MCs remain underrepresented in mainstream conversations and awards.
Eve’s reflection, delivered with measured honesty, reinforces the complexity of female success in hip-hop. Amid a landscape that finally hosts an array of compelling voices, her sentiment highlights the contrast between fleeting visibility and enduring legacy.
