Missy Elliott (Hip-Hop Stars) 1 review
Tracy Brown Collins
Chelsea House Publications, 2007
Well Intentioned, Sloppy Research
A biography of Missy Elliott is a great idea, she most definitely deserves an accurate telling of her story. This author appears to have had good intentions but there are at least two appalling errors in the first few pages. First, Aretha Franlin was never a "Motown star." She spent part of her childhood in Detroit but never recorded for Motown. Second, and more serious for an author of a hip hop ...

An expert at her craft, the writer's tape selection dovetails very well with her writings in this arena. Here is an example of a national speaker who has expanded her abilities to not only provide her ...
