These women helped define my Gen of women. Don't be afraid to say or wear as you like. Black women in control of what they want and who they want to spend time with without shame. Them, En Vogue, Mary J Blige, TLC... they all changed things. Women went from just being eye candy in videos to having their own eye candy in their own videos.
These ladies were trailblazers along with MC Lyte, and Queen Latifah. Without these ladies there wouldn't be any Missy Elliott, Lisa Lopes, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Da Brat, Nicki Minaj and even Cardi B. just to name a few.
This song is great fun because they turn the tables on the objectification of women in popular music. It's rare that you see men being reduced to their sexual worth, and it's just so funny and raw. A breath of fresh air. I think it's a mistake to read this song as them saying they are easy. Salt-n-Pepa almost always has a clever feminist twist on their badass rhymes. Check out "Let's Talk About Sex" next!!!
@@abeclark524 back in yh mid 80s early 90s it was almost scandalous to have women sing songs like this, but men had be able to objective women since lyrics are put to music
Salt n Pepa. On this song, Pepa started with the first verse and Salt went in on the 2nd. The third lady is their DJ, Spinderella. They’ve been rockin since the 80s. They are pioneers of the female rap game. They have plenty of classics to choose from but coming off this, you should do “Whatta Man” next. They did that with En Vogue.
I vote for “Whatta Man” also. The song came out when I knew the guy I was dating was right for me. We’ve grown up and changed, but still my man years later.
Ha! I memorized every word to that back in the day to be cool like Mary - as if that's possible! 🤣🤣🤣 "Family Affair" is straight fire & so fun! I hope Jay gets on Mary because she is a staple of the 90's. He needs to see & hear the reason she holds the title "The 👸 Queen of Hip Hop Soul!" After "Family Affair" I hope he reacts to "Be Without You" to really hear Mary's vocal range. My absolute favorite song & video is "No More Drama" (LIVE) where she is in the gold suit. OMG if you've never watched it - treat yourself to an amazing performance. 🎵✌❤
100 % Correct, It is reverse objectification so to speak, but I like it’s honesty too in the sense that females can be and often are this explicit about their desires. I think we hide it more, but amongst friends... like the video and song.
I’ve always heard this song like this. I never thought words were bleeped out - I always thought they just didn’t finish the lyric, leaving it to the listener to finish the verse. 😂
The only part that is bleeped out intentionally is Big 'Twans solo. He says, " Twelve inches to a yard and have ya soundin' like a retard". Best lyric of the entire song.
No that’s not correct lol. That’s an actual lyric; it’s sampled from a song by Boogie Down Productions, “Super Hoe”. The actual lyric is “super sperm” and it plays throughout the original song. Salt n Pepa sampled the audio but for some reason the “sperm” part was edited out. If you remember the song, Super Hoe, you’d know what the lyric is in Shoop. 🙂✌🏾
@@rowanmayfair9249: In this song, Pepa says, “not falling in love but I’m falling for your su-per sperm”. That “super sperm” part is an actual audio from the song “Super Hoe” by BDP; it plays throughout the song in the background, between the chorus and verses.
Salt N Pepa, and TLC had no problem speaking their minds, pushing the limits, but at the same time had standards. They pushed limits, but didn’t run them down and back over them.
This was when women embraced being sexy. You can be a sexy woman and still be in control. They embraced their objectivity and used it as weapon. Powerful sexy woman FTW!
These ladies were my heroines when they first came out onto the mainstream scene. Unapologetically themselves, unashamed, and just... purely wonderful. They want what they want, and eff anyone who disapproves because it's not 'ladylike'. Man, if boys can say 'this is what I want, and you're not going to shame me', then these ladies showed that in their world (which should just be the world) it was just as acceptable for the ladies to be up front.
Salt n pepa had some bangers!!! 90s music the best rnb and hip hop no competition! Tlc, en vogue , Aaliyah, missy timbaland the list of goes on and on!
So exited to see you discover this amazing song. It was the first female rap song this got popular. Explicit material has been around since the 40s but this was ground breaking for radio play.
I love that you appreciate their bars and rhymes. That is what they did best. I’m an almost 59 year old white female and I still remember the words of every Salt N Peppa song!
None of Your Business, Let’s Talk About Sex and Whatta Man are all classics by them. Salt = Cheryl James. Pepa = Sandra Denton. DJ Spinderella = Deidra Roper.
Oh how ❤️ some Salt-n-pepper and TLC!! We had some epic female rappers in the 90’s! They’re names are Sandra Denton, Cheryl James, and DJ Spinderella! Definitely Grew up on these awesome women for sure! Had this whole album on repeat back in the day, my to my mom’s chagrin 😂!! They are truly talented! And still gorgeous today!!
@@jedislap8726 I don’t think it’s childish I think it just catches them off guard. Not too many songs or videos feature men taking their clothes down to their skivvies lol
Her name is Mary J. Blige. “In the Ghetto” by Elvis Presley, “Free Your Mind” by En Vogue, “Ill Never Fall in Love Again” by Tom Jones & “Tennessee Whiskey” by Chris Stapleton.
Pepa is the one who rhymed first Salt is the second Salt n Pepa is one of those all time groups that will go down in history as one of the best Check out my favorite song from them it’s called Everybody Get up You will enjoy it
SALT-N-PEPA have always had excellent LIVE performances! They ROCK!! Which makes it even more sad that they never released more albums after 1999. I miss their live performances and guest appearances on (daytime/nighttime) talk shows, concerts, TV sitcoms, etc.
OMG I bought this CD in college and played this song over and over and over while speeding down the road in my coup singing and rapping...best memories
This takes me back to high school. Cruising in the car with my girlfriends. The stereo (alpine was the shit, back then) and bass bumping, full blast. While my girls and I are singing word for word, this song. Good times! You should also listen to none of your business by S and P. Love these ladies! All their songs are fire!
SALT-N-PEPA also had 2 huge club hits from 1990. Both awesome tunes . Do You Want me and You Showed Me. I Djed in Sydney and these were floorfillers there.
all those years later and I still remember ALL the lyrics to that song....the new rappers can barely match the previous ones but that is of course my opinion :)
They didn't bleep out anything, the quick sample was saying "super sporm" by a very old school artist named Captain Sky,,,but "super" was the only thing played. a lot of 80's rappers used that sample in many of their songs.
Love love these women. I remember seeing a documentary about them and they talked about how they met working for Sears I think and would laugh & rap to each other on the phone at work 😄 They are legit
Pepa is amazing! They have so many good songs. Everyone requests Whatta Man because that was obviously their biggest hit. I'd also recommand Are You Ready and Gitty Up from their 1997 album. They deliver on their verses there!
My last name is "Shoop." I can't introduce myself without people singing this song. It's been a long 26 years.
lmao
My name is Adrienne and most people say Yo Adrienne to me at some point. I feel your pain!
Bahaha! I can’t imagine.
😅😅😅
This song was released on September 21st 1993. It'll be almost 30 years old.

And very few, if any men have a problem with it.
@@abeclark524 I find it refreshingly direct.
It was their answer to "if men can sing about it, Why can't women"

"Lets Talk About Sex" was a social message song from the girls you should check out
Also check the alt version "Let's Talk About AIDS" and my all time fave and life anthem, None Of Your Business
Another vote for listening to "Let's Talk About Sex "
@@rowanmayfair9249 “None of Your Business” was my ish fo real fo real🔥🔥🔥

Hello
Everything on "Very Necessary" was choice. "Ain't Nuthin' But a She Thing" was on a later album, but it's also a boss tune:)
Another vote for "Whatta Man"
Thanks for clearing that up. 😊
I vote for “Whatta Man” also. The song came out when I knew the guy I was dating was right for me. We’ve grown up and changed, but still my man years later.
Next up, "Whatta Man" by Salt n Pepa.
Then, "O.P.P." by Naughty by Nature -- Pepa was married to Treach, a member of Naughty by Nature.
You would definitely enjoy hearing Mary J. Blige singing "Family Affair".
Ha! I memorized every word to that back in the day to be cool like Mary - as if that's possible! 🤣🤣🤣 "Family Affair" is straight fire & so fun!

Good one
Yes that song is legendary
Love this song
You've reacted to "Push It" & "Shoop"
but let's TURN IT UP Jay!! Time for 👇
- "Lets Talk About Sex" 🔥
- "Whatta Man" 🔥
I'll second that!!!!
Definitely
Let's turn it up Jay!!
Don't forget "Upside Down"! 😉
Oh please! Lol that’s not “turning it up” when it comes to Salt n Pepa! 🙂
Great reaction! My husband always looks at me because I rap the whole thing when it comes on but how can you not?!? Haha 😁
YOU GOT IT!!!! That's exactly what they are doing.....it's a reverse of the flirtation of the sexes!!! You got it!!!!
Hi
100 % Correct, It is reverse objectification so to speak, but I like it’s honesty too in the sense that females can be and often are this explicit about their desires. I think we hide it more, but amongst friends... like the video and song.
They flip the script 🤎🤎✌🏾✌🏾
I’ve always heard this song like this. I never thought words were bleeped out - I always thought they just didn’t finish the lyric, leaving it to the listener to finish the verse. 😂
You are correct, when Pepa says, not falling love but I’m falling you ya then she stops rapping does the little booty shake. 😁

Salt N Pepa was groundbreaking for female rappers for sure. You should check out TLC next if you haven't, Ain't Too Proud to Beg is a great track.
Yes! 15 year old me thought I was so grown up listening to those lyrics. Lok
He's done No Scrubs by TLC...
@@karishatavendale3432 That's right, I remember now. The first album was a different vibe though, and a little more like SnP...
Who can still recite pretty much every word of this song...? 🙋🏼♀️
Those ladies are the O.G 's of ladies in hip hop. Love them. Thats when we started wearing spandex as fashion. LOL.
That started In The Late 70s With Rod Stuart , Da ya Think im Sexy 1978 Released
Who down-voted this? It's a classic banger. This album was fire.
TLC had Ain't Too Proud to Beg in '92 and this must be '93
Salt N Pepa, and TLC had no problem speaking their minds, pushing the limits, but at the same time had standards. They pushed limits, but didn’t run them down and back over them.
Salt n peppa are the original . Lil Kim and nicki Minaj and all the other rappers got inspiration from them .
Got to check out “What A Man!!” Salt N Pepa and En Vogue!!! 🔥
Ooooooh YEAH, they said a mouthful, cuz that's EXACTLY how women feel about men & they had no problem tellin' it the way it is. 👍👍👍👍👍
This was when women embraced being sexy. You can be a sexy woman and still be in control. They embraced their objectivity and used it as weapon. Powerful sexy woman FTW!
Yessss!!! Your next reaction should be "What a Man" Salt n Pepa with EnVoge
I was a teenager when this song came out and I know every word by heart
My roommate and I (at a Christian college!) played this whole CD on repeat daily.
"Get up on thisss!!! Oooh baaby baaby" 🎵 music of my childhood. Check out their song *None of Your Business* by Salt-n-Pepa

They are so inspiring women, I love their music so much.
"Let me shoop to the next man in a 3 piece suit", I love that lyric & I love this song, makes me want to get up & dance! Glad you did this one!
S&P..This song was so hot 🔥 Played this all the time!! Sssshhhhooooopppp!!!!
A JAM! 🔥🔥🔥
Salt n Pepa, one of my absolute favorites 'back in the day' - great music, great memories.
Salt N Pepa are from my generation they are amazing! These ladies could rime and, rival the men. Salt is Cheryl, Pepa is Sandy, Spinderella is Deidra.
Sandra Denton aka Pepa was born in Kingston,Jamaica.They met while in nursing school.They were big in the early nineties.
You should watch footage of this song performed live back in the day. Their live performance was VERY polished!
SALT-N-PEPA have always had excellent LIVE performances! They ROCK!! Which makes it even more sad that they never released more albums after 1999. I miss their live performances and guest appearances on (daytime/nighttime) talk shows, concerts, TV sitcoms, etc.
Queen's + Super Grl Power, love it...Great dance Jam...Thanks J. Peace
OMG I bought this CD in college and played this song over and over and over while speeding down the road in my coup singing and rapping...best memories
Nothing better than blasting salt n pepa riding down to the Jersey shore😎
These ladies gave us confidence. Videos we’re everywhere- cheers and thanks!!!
I was obsessed with this song... still know every word of it.
I saw them back in 88 with Keith Sweat, Heavy D & the Boyz, EU, Johnny Kemp, Full Force, Kid ’n Play and Rob Bas. That was a great show.
I saw these great women in Atlanta and they were awesome. 90's hip hop just hits different!
Oh...what a treat.....you gonna love this group!!!! LOL
Oh there are so many female rappers from back then you gotta listen to!!!! You’re in for a treat.
"Expression" is another awesome jam by these trailblazing female rappers. LOVE Salt-n- Peppa! 🙌🏾💕
Salt & Peppa also have the song called None of your business lol
Salt-N-Peppa ain’t no joke.
This takes me back to high school. Cruising in the car with my girlfriends. The stereo (alpine was the shit, back then) and bass bumping, full blast. While my girls and I are singing word for word, this song. Good times! You should also listen to none of your business by S and P. Love these ladies! All their songs are fire!

Love this song. Back in the day with me and my friends it was a weekend fav. Great Memories .
Salt N Peppa will ALWAYS get you movin'! They never fail to move your butt!
I used to crank this all the time with the 18" woofer speakers I used to have. My neighbors loved me.
Woooo! Sang every word! A aaahhhh the good old days! 😍
Legends my man. Helped paved the way in the early years. Old school the best
So glad you did this one... Their best! 😉 Love your ELO tee too!!!!! ❤❤👍👍
This record is nice... To nice for its time, everyone killed it vocally on this record including everyone involved in the video production too.
Their stage names are Salt, Peppa, and Spindarella.
Queen Latifah, Salt & Peppa, and the rest of the 80s actual rap artists
Yes thank you!!
Whatta Man also is another good one
all those years later and I still remember ALL the lyrics to that song....the new rappers can barely match the previous ones but that is of course my opinion :)
Great Jam
Love this song. It's where I picked up the phrase "you're packed in your stacks"
i love this song. its also on the Deadpool soundtrack. the first R rated movie ive seen in theaters
They didn't bleep out anything, the quick sample was saying "super sporm" by a very old school artist named Captain Sky,,,but "super" was the only thing played. a lot of 80's rappers used that sample in many of their songs.

Another good one from them with amazing bars is None of Your Business!!!
Love love these women. I remember seeing a documentary about them and they talked about how they met working for Sears I think and would laugh & rap to each other on the phone at work 😄 They are legit
"Salt" (Cheryl) is the short one
"Pepa" (Sandy) is the blonde one
"Spinderella" (Deirdre), the quiet one is the DJ
Love your happy jammin'! Oh these ladies were the shizzle back then!
En vogue-giving him something he can feel. You should check that one out.
One of my faves
They were pioneers in music in the day. My idols
The song "Lady's Night" featured a lot of female Hip Hop talent.
Also listen to their song “What a man”
It's about time 🤎🤎✌🏾✌🏾
Love this one! Turing it around on the guys. ❤️❤️
Can't help but laugh that my man rewinded it back on the same part I was going back to over and over again back in the day. Hahahaha
🎵"Here I go, here I go here I go, here I go....again.."💃YEAH!!😂
Try "Whatta' Man", like these music fans suggested~💜🙋
