Dinsmore, Jason. "Genisis of Female Rap 1980's." BE Entertained 19 July 2010: n. pag. Web. 14 Nov. 2012. <http://bemagazine.me>. This primary source showed me where most of the female rappers are now. It made me realize that famous people are just normal people and are not famous forever. It also helped me with quotes and gave me ideas for my website. Roberts, Robin. 1994. "'Ladies First': Queen Latifah's Afrocentric Feminist Music Video." African American Review 28: 2 (Summer): 245-57. This source helped me with my project because I learned that women wanted to be respected and have equal rights. This source also helped me understand how they felt. This was a primary, non-bias source. I used this for my website by getting information for a tab. Russell, Deborah. "Getting no static on channel Z." Billboard 13 Mar. 1993: 53. Fine Arts and Music Collection. Web. 24 Nov. 2012. This article helped me understand how much the music industry sought more. It also helped me get an inside view of the music industry and what their primary goals were in 1980, and then in 1990. I realized the change between 1980 and now because MTV only had 200 tracks. I used this on my website and showed how much the music industry changed. Salt n' Peppa Interview. 1986. Web. 21 Nov 2012. When watching the video of Salt n Peppa I learned about how women rapping shaped society. I also learned about how hard they worked to become famous. Another thing that contributed to my project was that I learned how much the music meant to them. I used this interview to get information for my women rappers tab.

Thomas, Ed. "California's Perspective." Personal interview. 22 Nov. 2012. My interview helped me get insight about the 1980s musical cultures. I also learned how commercialized things are today. Artists were closer to the community and were not as fake as they are now. Artists mostly came from clubs and the streets instead of auditions in studios. I used this for my commercializing rap music tab.

Secondary Sources
Anheir, Helmut, and Yudhister Rajisor. Cultural Expression, Creativity, and Innovation. London: SAGE, 2010. Print. This book helped me with the conflict between men, and women in the music industry. The reason for this is that people fear change, and when more people, different people, start controlling innovation people fear that it will ruin them. After many years of conflict most people came to realize the benefits with change. I used this for my women rapper tab. Chang, Jeff. Total Chaos: The Art and Aesthetics of Hip-hop. New York: BasicCivitas, 2006. Print. When I read this book I learned that hip hop kept changing like everything else in the music industry. When rap started on the streets everyone was true to the music. When it started getting more popular it started getting fake. I used this for my commercializing rap music tab.

France, Lisa R. "Where Have All the Successful Rappers Gone?" CNN. N.p., 14 Oct. 2009. Web. 15 Nov. 2012. This website helped me understand my whole topic. I found quotes that would be helpful when creating my project. The quotes helped me understand what the artists are going through from their perspective. Most of the female artists had to work twice as hard as male artists to get record deals and CDs because they werent respected. I used this for my women rapper tab. Hart, Walter E. The Cultural Industry, Hip Hop. Arlington: University of Texas, 2009. Print. This book showed me background information about the culture of hip hop. After reading, I understood how the artists got inspiration. I also learned the other side of the story because the story was bias. It helped me learn background information. I used this for my graffiti tab.

Johnson, James, Lee Jackson, and Leslie Gatto. "Deleterious Effects of Exposure to Rap Music." Taylor and Francis Online. N.p., n.d. Web. 23 Nov. 2012. This website gave me an idea about rap causing aggression with some lyrics. Plus, how it caused gangs. Another cause of aggression was the behavior that slowly faded away as rap evolved. Rap music helped people express their feelings through music. I used this for my background tab. Keyes, Cherl L. Rap Music and Street Coniousness. Illinois: Board of Trustees, 2002. Print. This book helped me understand where rap music was formed and how. Since this was a non-bias source I didnt get pushed to one side of an argument or another. The source was just facts and was one of my best sources. I used this for the Graffiti tab. Mason, Greg. "Our Kids and Rap Music- Where Do We Draw the Line?" Ezine Articles. Sparknet, 2013. Web. 2 Jan. 2013. This online source showed me how parents react to kids listening to rap music. With this resource I learned how parents reacted to rap music. Most parents did not react positively and even banned their kids from listening to it. This source was used in my background tab. Pough, Gwendolyn D. Check It While I Wreck It: Black Womanhood, Hip-hop Culture, and the Public Sphere. Boston: Northeastern UP, 2004. Print. Check it while I wreck it is a reliable source that helped me understand the rap culture and how it shaped society. I also learned how rap music influenced fashion. Rap also influenced graffiti and slang. I used this for my graffiti tab. Pough, Gwendolyn D., Mark Anthony. Neal, and Joan Morgan. Home Girls Make Some Noise: Hip-hop Feminism Anthology. Mira Loma, CA: Parker Pub., 2007. Print. This book benefited my project because I got information about the different types of famous artists in the hip hop business, and their struggle. I also learned that women stood up to their harsh surroundings by a hip hop movement in Cuba. Most women did this because they wanted to stand up for what they believed, others sought attention. I used this for my women rapper tab. Powell, Catherine T. "Rap Music: Education with a Beat from the Street." The Journal of Negro Education 60 (1991): n. pag. Web.

When reading this journal I discovered how rap shaped peoples lives. Many inner city kids got into rap music and got either in or out of trouble. Good or bad, rap music changed lives, and gave people a place to go. I used this for my background tab. Roberts, Johnnie L. "Are they jackin' the box?" Newsweek 23 Jan. 1995: 42+. Popular Culture Collection. Web. 20 Nov. 2012. This source helped me with my project by giving me information about women being used as the background in music videos, and how they were not nearly as respected as they are now. Plus, women didnt even get paid well, much less than they do now. Most of those women turned out to be rappers later on. I used this source for my women rapper tab. "Salt -n- Pepa." Jet 3 Apr. 1995: 54+. Popular Culture Collection. Web. 20 Nov. 2012.

This magazine helped me learn more about my topic by providing information about the group Salt n Peppas career, and earnings. It also showed me that most women rappers werent fake artists, which means that they wrote their own music, and rapped it themselves. This magazine was not bias, and showed only information, not opinions. I used this for my commercializing rap music tab. "93.04.04: The Evolution of Rap Music in the United States." 93.04.04: The Evolution of Rap Music in the United States. N.p., n.d. Web. 21 Nov. 2012. <http://www.yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1993/4/93.04.04.x.html>. Evolution of Rap helped me understand the changes in rap music over time and how it affected society today. I learned that rapping evolved from poems in the early 50s, but if women didnt make a stand about how they wanted to rap then there wouldnt be many women artists. This website showed changes over time and no bias language. I used this for commercializing rap music.
