On the Come Up

Hype says that the fact that a 16- year old GIRL is rapping about “being strapped” caught him off guard. Does it seem as if Bri has it tougher and is judged more harshly because she is a girl? Explain

chapter 27 from the book called "on the come up"

I think this is the case. Gender expectations still exist in society and art. Bre is rapping about what girls shoudn't talk about. She is breaking from gender norms.

How might Bri feel when she realizes that little kids know the words to her songs?
