With songs like "Let Me Blow Ya Mind," "Satisfaction" and "Tambourine," Eve's music was a staple of early 2000s hip-hop. In her new memoir, Who's That Girl? Eve and co-author Kathy Iandoli detail the rocky path to the rapper's success. In today's episode, Eve speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about coming up in a male-dominated hip-hop industry. They discuss an early-career setback, female representation in hip-hop today and why Eve disagrees with being called a "kept woman."

On December 11, 1978, one of the most audacious heists in history took place at JFK Airport in New York City. 

A small group of thieves executed an almost perfect crime and walked away with 6 million dollars in cash and jewelry. 

While the actual robbery went off without a hitch, it was after the crime that things fell apart and eventually left a trail of bodies strewn across New York. 

Learn more about the 1978 Lufthansa Heist, how they pulled it off, and its bloody results on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For decades, the nation of Ethiopia has dreamed of creating a damn on the Blue Nile River. 

Such a dam would provide an enormous amount of electricity for a country that is one of the lowest electricity consumers in the world. Such a project would be a massive undertaking and it would also bring a great deal of prestige to the country. 

What was once a dream began to become a reality in the 21st century, and today is producing energy for the country. However, the project has also caused problems with many of its neighbors. 

Learn more about the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, how it was built as well as how it has impacted the country and its neighbors, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
