Eva - Slow Down ft. Lupe Fiasco
Artist: Eva
Featuring: Lupe Fiasco
Producer: Scott Storch
Album: TBD
Label: In Ya Face Records
They don’t call superstardom “the fast life” for nothing—from the big money to the clubs to the cars to the women, it seems like the big names go through everything at lightspeed. Anyone who’s been on the road, however, knows that if you drive too fast, sooner or later you’re going to crash. Pop singer Eva has taken this message to heart, asking her young, female listeners to trust her and Slow Down before they give up their innocence and pay for it later. Always one to speak the truth to the crowds, Lupe Fiasco hopes to get that same lesson through to hip-hop’s performers and audience, as Scott Storch takes care of the typical pop sound and lyrics—that, my friends, is so he can send the message as airmail and spread it all over the world.

1st!!! Downloaded this shyt to my iPod a few days ago...cant stop listening to it. It aint a typical lupe song because it has a more radio friendly feel to it. Eva is solid on it and her vocals is good. Lupe straight kills it at the last part!! What can i say..this is what u expect from a top mc like lupe and that is why he is still one of my favorite rappers. Classic!!

I'm sorry but there is so little I like about this track... I mean she doesn't have strong or great vocals at least not judging by this song, Lupe has such a small role that not even he can hit the brakes in time to avoid this train wreck.
I stay strongly IMO - 1 star. |

TRASH!! I don't know who Eva is, and its a shame if she is on FnF like I'm thinkin. Her vocals are so boring, and its all clearly tuned by the computer. Anyway, Lupe is still hot! He's the only reason I made it to the end of the song.

It's not just her voice it is her voice and the use of auto-tune or something similar, as well as having to wait the entire song to hear Lupe and he only has a 20 second or so role. It's just such an underwhelming song that it is absolutely in my opinion deserves a 1. I rarely rate anything that low but I truly believe this wreaks of a 1. The substance behind the song and the writeup leave you to believe that you might hear something in the class of John Legend's - "If you're out there" he isn't the greatest thing out there vocally but overall it was well done.
Mixing Pop and Rap isn't the easiest of things to pull off and this is a very good ex. of why. |

I think I heard this a while ago. It's a decent joint. It's Lupe you know, so it's gotta to be sorta hot. Let me say one thing: Mixing pop and hip-hop is actually awesome and one of the greatest things to happen to hip hop. But it helps if the singer is actually. Eva's voice (no offense) is as ugly as her picture and face. I'm sorry, but she looks like a girl version of the Ferengi bartender Quark in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Lupe did a decent job, which lifts this song from a 1, to a 2, (which really means from a zero to a 1, but there is not zero option). OH, and she is DEFINITELY not on FNF. Absolutely not.

My bad, not Quark. More like Odo. See for yourself (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odo_(Star_Trek))

michaelhannah you are right, again. Pop and hip hop mixed are great and this song shows it! It's the typical song I would listen to in my auto or when I'm in the mood to dance and chill...her voice isn't that great, but if Cassie sings Eva can sing, too. It's only that Cassie is beautiful and Eva is ugly...but we shouldn't be affected by this, we are talking about music and not about the look. Comparing Cassie and Eva together, for example, it's clear that their level is the same, but Cassie is cool and Eva is not...she's got a respectable guest in her song, though ;) Lupe kills it as always!

I don't need to remind everyone that talking about an artist's looks doesn't help his or her label determine whether or not a product should be pushed. Not to stick with this topic, but there are plenty of successful artists who aren't supermodel caliber on the eyes. I digress. I like the Hip-Hop accompaniment here, but I am not sure why Lupe - who is very particular about his guest work - chose this song (out of all his requests) to jump on. Production is catchy, radio will like it.

Great beat, simple but catchy. Storch is the master! Nice vocal melodies. Eva just isn't it. She sounds "bored" on this one, there could be more energy. At least she sounds better than Cassie haha. The production has a very similar vibe as Toni Braxton's "Please" which was also produced by Scott Storch.

yo guys this joint is produced by pooh bear. the bloggers had it right... listen to lupe's shout outs in the opening seconds, he calls pooh bear (who is a good friend of lupe) which explains why lupe is on this track. I like the song, though, I been playin it a good deal, lupe's part is excellence.

Yes, Lupe and Pooh Bear might be friends. But the shoutout was meant for songwriter Jason "Pooh Bear" Boyd who often works with Scott Storch (e.g. Danity Kane, Kelly Rowland). This song is produced by Scott Storch. |

oh was that how it went... my bad lol. I haven't ever heard a shoutout for the songwriter of the singer's lyrics, but if that's what it is, then that's what it is. thanks for clearing that up man, my bad. (and pooh bear was on a joint w lupe and gemstones, and has produced for him in other tracks, i believe, fyi)

yeah i never heard of the first artist, and don listen to garrett much not a big fan... the dream has a sort of shoutout on his (signature qualities) so that's as close as i get. i also scarcely listen to storch so i couldn pick his beat out of a line-up... swizzy, soundtrakk, kanye, timbaland, and maybe toomp after listening to paper trail so much are the only producers i could accurately name 50% of the time. i know producers I like, but can't pick out their beats from a lineup ya know?

The music is strong it's just pop. You gotta have a more well rounded look at the world. Speaking of well rounded, MichaelHannah shouldn't be talkin about looks. He probably would prefer a cheeseburge to a hot girl. Eva opened for Nas and Alicia Keyes and killed it. Absolutely hottt. Wyclefs protege. This is gonna be big, got it on repeat.

Real funny Dj Killa. I'll take the low blow with a grain of salt. But get real fam, this chick looks kinda yuckness. Place her next to a Whopper, and the Whopper wins. Certainly. But let's chill with the low blows, cuz I don't do them (usaully...lol) to users on here, and people with integrity shouldn't either. In the words of your favorite quote, "The world needs less haters and more real champs" Be that champ! (Dang, how PBS Kids did that sound...lol! You know me, getting my inspirational Mr. Rogers swagger on). Peace out my neighbors!

go to the inyafacerecords.com website and see those pics. I checked it out and did my research before commenting. you all should do the same. the pic is kinda whack but the chick is hott. Probably the next brittany replacement. All I'm sayin is look it all over. The song may not be your genre but it relates to most of radio.
