A bit more planning

After thinking about my paper, reading the comments on my review, and planning out what I want to study, I have finally arrived at a bit more conclusive ideas about where I am going with my end result: 

I. Rap as a genre

What does being a rapper mean?

What makes a "rap song"? 

What is the identity surrounding the rapper? 

II.  Rap as a context

If a rapper has a specific identity then who are those that can destruct this identity and still be argued to be a rapper? 

III.  Women within the context of Rap

What are the tropes of being a female rapper? 

Do female rappers have the same identity as male rappers or do they have to present themselves in a different way? 

IV. Actual Female Rappers

Each of the questions about female rappers and the tropes of being a female rapper will be identified and exemplified through actual female rappers

V. Concluding evidence of the difference between the "rapper" and the "female rapper"/Overall argument to identify that female rappers, although using the same contextual identity as the male rapper, still have other aspects to their identity that create a new identity to the term
