Satisfaction
Eve · 2002Eve recorded 'Satisfaction' with Dr. Dre and Mike Elizondo co-producing the track, originally intended for Eve's second album Scorpion before being held back and ultimately added as one of the final tracks on Eve-Olution, with Styles P contributing a guest verse. Released in February 2003 on Ruff Ryders/Interscope Records, 'Satisfaction' reached number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 and received a Grammy nomination for Best Female Rap Solo Performance, demonstrating the enduring commercial and critical value of Eve's collaborations with Dr. Dre. The track stands as one of the most polished Dr. Dre productions of the early 2000s outside his core Aftermath stable, and its Grammy nomination reinforced Eve's standing as one of hip-hop's leading female voices during a period of intense competition for that distinction.
