Cheryl “Salt” James, Sandra “Pepa” Denton, and third member Deidra “Spinderella” Roper were instrumental figures in hip-hop for not only women in rap, but were groundbreaking in creating music that pushed boundaries.
Hip-hop royalty
The duo, along with Queen Latifah, became the first female MCs to win a Grammy Award, and still hold the title for the best-selling album of all time by any female rap group with 1993’s Very Necessary.
Forging a relationship while attending Queensborough Community College, Salt-N-Pepa is the first female rap group to have an album go gold, and then platinum.
Their top hits include “Push It,” “Let’s Talk About Sex,” and “None of Your Business” all three opening the door for women to proudly rap about their sensual desires.
“This upcoming star ceremony honoring Hip-Hop pioneers Salt-N-Pepa will honor the amazing 80s music we all love and so many grew up with!” said Walk of Fame Producer Ana Martinez in a statement.
“We’re placing these ladies of Hip Hop royalty adjacent to Amoeba Music and right next to the Walk Of Fame star of another Queen of Hip Hop, Missy Elliott!”, she continued.
Congratulations!
