Before hip pop was hip-hop contains numerous references to pop culture including song titles, slang, and details about clothing and music. Why do you think she uses this kind of language? What does it suggest to you about Walker's personality?

• To be like the Asian girl with the Adidas warm up because she had a better life than she did.

• That she is arrogant and she wants to learn everything about hip hop with going through the true experience

• I think she uses that so she can make it feel closer to what the environment was like and how they used to talk back then. I think she wants to show how different everything was and how kids were communicating with each other with a whole other language they basically invented.

• She is in love with nature. She wants the world to appreciate the environment
