Best interview I’ve seen in awhile. The questions she asked were so well prepared and the conversation was so deep & meaningful. Not even some radio or TVs shows are as thoughtful to the artists they interview. Definitely subscribed! Can’t wait to watch more from them. Brb binging their channel

[@kelseyharden7118]

How could y’all forget her stint in fashion during the mid-2000s with her clothing line, Fetish?! I know I wasn’t the only one supporting!! Please add “fashion girl and designer” to her long list of accomplishments because she was (and is) THAT girl when it comes to fashion

[@alexisb.8205]

Chantal is such a great host, she knows how to make her guests feel comfortable to talk to her 🙌🏾 can’t wait to see more from The Era!

[@ItsNish101]

I loved this! I can't wait to see the others in this series.

[@yusefbrown4252]

eve always been my favorite back of the day rapper and i love and listen to her til this day❤️ she is everything✨

[@jennifersolorzano5186]

I’m offended by how few views this got, I thought it was 6.1 million views, not 6.1 thousand ??! This interview is exactly what I want in an interview. Eve is phenomenal, our host is asking exactly the questions that I, as a fan, have always wanted to know. I’m so mad about this! How does the algorithm pick up the most basic videos to share and somehow, gems like these are only getting a few thousand. Can parent company Buzzfeed like, promote this heavily so it can finally get the attention it deserves??

[@missmayajessica]

Yasss! E-V-E AKA Pitbull in a skirt is a *legend*! I love this and the empowerment of Black Female rappers!
