From Amazon.com: One of the first albums to challenge hip-hop's machocratic sovereignty, Salt-N-Pepa's Hot, Cool & Vicious takes as its musical model Run-D.M.C.'s potent distillation of streetwise repartee, hard-ass bluster and beatbox rhythms. Determined to say it loud and say it proud, r-r-r-rappers Cheryl "Salt" James and Sandy "Pepa" Denton wield their womanhood like an urban-jungle machete, busting unfaithful lovers in "Chick on the Side," threatening female competitors "just for spite" in "I'll Take Your Man," dishing distaff disses at Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick in "The Showstopper," and condemning mindless male promiscuity in "Tramp." With its aerobic BPMs and synth-pop hook, the Top 20 hit "Push It" is the album's most obvious--and most effective--bid for dancefloor immortality. --Greg Siegel
Who knew?: Who knew when these girls hit the scene how big they'd be? They put on an awesome show and put out great music, including this debut CD
VERY HOT DEBUT ALBUM!!!: This is a great cd from start to finish and I would truly recommend this cd to any old skool rap fan and would let them know that their money is not being wasted it is a good investment and I would truly recommend this cd because it is loaded with hits: tramp, I'll take your man , My Mic sounds nice, and push it all of these songs were trademark hits but I really enjoy the whole cd!!!!
The best female rap group past or present: This album features the ORIGINAL Spinderella, Dee Dee Roper came later on to take carry on the name, so it's definately a classic. My Mic Sounds Nice and I Desire are my favorite cuts on this album. If you don't have this one, YOUR WRONG ! ! ! These ladies paved the way for a lot of female artist of today. Imagine that.
My Girls!: Nice first effort from the longest running female rap group around. Notice that their DJ on the front album cover is not Spinderella--she joined after their original DJ left. This album lays the groundwork for Salt N' Pepa's independent woman style of rapping. This is an essential album to have for rap music afficiandos.
FIRST ALBUM FROM FIRST LADIES OF RAP: Salt N Pepa turned heads when they released this stunning rap album in 1986 when rap was going on to be male-dominated. Their first singles "Tramp" and "I'll Take Your Man" had sensible lyrics and became moderate successes paving the way for their monster hit "Push It" in 1987. Other notable songs such as "The Showstopper" and "My Mic Sounds Nice" keep their raps flowing and proved they can bust a rhyme like any man can.
