NEW REPORT FROM THE FIELD! Gayle Mendez shares her experiences with the teen poetry slam scene. The boys and the girls were treated differently from each other. It’s not that the girls were seen as irrelevant, but there weren’t as many girls included in the cypher and there wasn’t as much hype. The hype seemed to flow towards the boys. That puzzled me. I had just earned first place in the slam and people wanted to hear me to freestyle. After I participated, I got some recognition. But the crowd was eager to hear from the next boy. In this day and age, are females not as recognized in the world of rap as much as males are? [posted by Lynn]
