In ‘Who’s That Girl?’ Eve reflects on her time in a male-dominated hip-hop industry : NPR’s Book of the Day

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.”To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR’s book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookoftheday
