Eva Longoria is one of the sexiest women in Hollywood. The 39-year-old Texas native got her start in the entertainment industry after making her first on-screen acting appearance in 2000 as a guest star on an episode of Beverly Hills, 90210. After a few missteps, including a role in the poorly received straight to DVD film, Senorita Justice, Longoria found mainstream success in 2003 when she was cast as Gabrielle Solis on ABC’s hit series, Desperate Housewives. For her role as Solis, Longoria earned two Golden Globe nominations and won two Screen Actors Guild Awards with the rest of the show’s cast. Her new-found widespread fame also opened other doors for Longoria and she began receiving recognition from various men’s magazines for her good looks. In 2005 and 2006, Longoria Maxim Magazine voted Longoria the Hottest Female Star.

Rappers were especially drawn to Longoria and found clever ways to insert her into their lyrics. Here is a list of the best Eva Longoria inspired rap lines.

The song was produced by group member, Mage, and was Da Kennel’s first official single. The track, an ode to all the women beautiful with model like potential, “praises women and their confidence level by paying tribute to their physical attributes, as well as the things that make them unique.” No song claiming to honor beautiful women could possibly be complete without a shout out to one of Hollywood’s most beautiful stars, Eva Longoria. In the song’s second verse, group member, Skillz, makes sure to pay homage to the star with his line,” I Need A Top Model/ Nice, Like Eva Longoria/ Say The Boy Cocky/Gotta Plain Broad Phobia (She A Model).”

In the song’s opening line, he raps “I see ya, I see ya/
Girl I wanna love you long like Eva,” creating a clever play on words between the phrase “me love you long time”, popularized by the 1987 film Full Metal Jacket, and Longoria’s last name.
This song from hip-hop super group, Young Money, is an anthem for all of the people who literally wish they could be with every girl in the world.

The song which briefly recognized almost every type of girl there is, couldn’t have been complete without mentioning one of the most sought after actresses. In the song’s third verse, Harlem, New York native, Jae Millz, dropped a line inspired by Longoria as he rapped, “Every model/every singer/every actress/ every diva/Every high sadiddy chick/Every college girl/ Every skeezer/…every desperate housewife that resemble Eva.”
