This article is about how Missy Elliot and different rap/hip-hop
artists effected and impacted the second half of the 90's era. I don't
think this is a very good reference for me to use because it doesn't tell
me specifically about Missy Elliot, it is just mostly talking about hip-hop
in general.

This article says that Missy Elliot might be one the hardest-working woman in showbiz. It tells us about how she found time to produce hits for other artists, record a new album of her own, guest appear in other artist albums, and still be nominated for 3 Grammy Awards. This source really helps me because It also talks about how taking a chance will always be her best ability.

This magazine article tells about how Missy Elliot was hip-hop's leading lady but for a period of time she was out of the spotlight because she was diagnosed with Graves' Disease. After a three year absence Elliot made a
comeback to the music world and she doesn't want anyone to treat her
differently because of this. I think this is a great article because it
shows how strong she is as a woman but i don't think I am going to focus on the fact she had this disease so i don't think this article is really going to help me.
