An Article on the Female Rapper

http://www.jstor.org/stable/542102?&Search=yes&term=Rapper&term=Female&list=hide&searchUri=%2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3DFemale%2BRapper%26gw%3Djtx%26prq%3DHip-Hop%26Search%3DSearch%26hp%3D25%26wc%3Don&item=4&ttl=205&returnArticleService=showArticle

I came across this article and it has some information on we read the Female Rapper and how we place race and gender into the context of rap.  The one thing that I was glad it pointed out was how female rappers have been there since the beginning.  I think I may trace which were the most popular ones from the 90's up (I have to have at least a little control over my paper) and see who made it and explore why they did.  I want to find the tropes that the female rappers who make it utilize and see how these tropes have become the "female rapper identity".
