The follow-up to her debut record Let There Be Eve… Ruff Ryder’s First Lady in 1999, Scorpion helped establish Eve as a household name in the hip-hop world thanks to its pummeling rhymes, easygoing and memorable production handled by Swizz Beatz, Dr. Dre, Icepick, and Dee and Waah Dean, and catchy choruses laden throughout. The single “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” featuring Gwen Stefani, reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was named the 7th biggest song of 2001 by Billboard. The song helped secure her first GRAMMY® for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. Lead single “Who’s That Girl” also reached the top 20 of the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop-Songs chart, as well as the top ten of the UK singles charts. It was later named one of the 100 Greatest Songs Of Hip-Hop by VH1.
