Eve | Where Are They Now? | Why Did She Quit Rapping?

Before They Were Famous ·

2021/10/07

Eve is a hip-hop artist who once called herself a “Pitbull in a skirt” – a description that probably best sums up the earliest years of her career as opposed to the more family-friendly woman we now know today. Less than twenty years ago, Eve’s platinum buzz-cut and paw-print chest tattoos announced a new type of female artist. Back then, Eve was one of the first female rappers to ever keep up with the success of her male counterparts thanks to massive hits like “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” and “Who’s That

Couch Guy is pulling in over 1 Billion search results on Google at the time of this recording. This is internet history and unlike anything, we have ever seen before and people are divided, did he cheat? Was he miserable seeing her show up at his Dorm? My guess is that it’s the beginning of the school year and the dude was probably eager to meet new babes and waiting for Thanksgiving weekend for a good ol’ fashioned Turkey Dump. It’s a first-year tradition. Anyway. We here at Before They Were Famous

Duane Lee Chapman, or, as the rest of us know him better -- Dog the Bounty Hunter -- jumped on the fame train back in the early 2000s after his exploits tracking down fugitives and bail-jumpers snagged him his very own A&E television series. He single-handedly put the TV show COPS out of business. Soon enough, “Dog the Bounty Hunter” was a massive hit in TV ratings and he became a household name as well as a super popular Halloween costume. With the long blond hair, signature wraparound shades, and

2021/10/02

English actor, Tom Hardy, has portrayed his share of enigmatic troublemakers on screen – be it villainous characters like Bane, Al Capone, Bronson, or even the anti-hero Venom. And while many actors tend to shy away from continually playing bad guys around Hollywood, Hardy’s always believed that villains are the most fun to portray. Maybe that’s because his own past is littered with run-ins with the law, not to mention a crippling substance abuse issue that threatened to end this talented young

2021/09/29

As a kid growing up in Texas, Woody Harrelson used to daydream about becoming a cop or even some type of secret agent. Little did he know that he would one day turn into what Esquire described as Hollywood’s Wildest Wild-Child. And honestly, that’s probably selling his come-up a bit short, because Woody easily has one of the craziest origin stories you’ve ever heard. Not only did he grow up with a professional hit-man for a father, but once his own star began to rise as a member of the uber-popular

Back in the mid-’90s, rock band Limp Bizkit unmistakably had “it” – that indescribably something that takes your everyday average joe and turns him into, well... Fred Durst. Say what you will about him, but the man was a bonafide rock-god for a lengthy period of time. Alongside Wes Borland on guitar, Same Rivers on bass, John Otto on drums, and DJ Lethal spinning the turntables, Limp Bizkit rocketed to the top of the music charts, earning themselves three Grammy Nominations in the process. But by

When it comes to the rapper Stitches, nobody really knows what to believe. His schtick is devastatingly straightforward – I mean, covering yourself head-to-toe in bizarre tattoos, speaking openly about your past criminal enterprises, and shouting things like “I LOVE SELLIN’ BLOW” as the chorus to your most popular song isn’t exactly subtle -- you know what I mean? But after years in the game, does Stitches still have the same shock effect he once did? And is anything about this guy genuine? Let’s

There are few rappers who have a career arc similar to Compton rapper The Game. Born Jayceon Terrell Taylor on November 29th, 1979, The Game was a force to be reckoned with during the 2000s and throughout the 2010s up until this day, giving us classics like The Documentary, The Doctor's Advocate, and Jesus Piece, Game just to name a few. He was a member of the legendary hip hop group G Unit but only for a short amount of time, which led to him leaving the group and having an incredibly intense feud

The man known as Wack 100 has built something of a hip-hop empire for himself over the span of his nearly twenty years in the business – a feat that’s all the more impressive when you take into consideration the fact that a majority of his headlines often involve Wack 100 laying-hands on someone, or, at the very least, threatening to do so. Just ask 21 Savage, Stitches, or J Roc, all of whom have at least one story to tell about the man’s wicked temper. Then there are his outspoken opinions on

Alissa Violet was just a regular girl working at Panera Bread in her native Brunswick, Ohio when she caught the eye of a young Jake Paul & the two fell in love. Okay, maybe it was something else because that turned into a huge scandal in itself but the point being – this girl came from relatively nowhere got in the social media game early on made friends with the right people, and rode the same train to the very top and likely has herself set up for life.

Although Jackie Chan has already made a name for himself in America, it was the 1998 breakout hit Ruch Hour which would launch him to superstar status and make his co-star Chris Tucker go on to become the highest-paid actor in Hollywood! For the third installment, he took home a whopping $25 Million dollars but the film turned out to be a critical disappointment. That was back in 2007 and in the years since both stars have kind of faded out of the limelight. I was actually on a trip to Hollywood and
