Salt-N-Pepa’s Here
Hey Cuties,
I’m taking a break from all things Christmas to talk about a blast from my past. I spent the first seven years of my life living in the Bronx, New York. I lived on East 22nd Second Street between Barnes & Bronxwood and I loved our block. Rap music was bursting on the scene and it was a great time to live in New York. My sister is six years older than me and was all about her music. That means I was introduced to artist such as Salt-N-Pepa much earlier that my peers. Get up on this! 
I had the opportunity to interview Salt {Cheryl James} -N- Pepa {Sandra Denton} on Huff Post Live and there was no way I was turning that down. Hello icons, fashion, style and kicking butt and taking names. Sign me up! What you know about an asymmetrical bleached out hair cut? I’m talking razor cuts on the side while wearing leggings and oversized leather jackets. I still have Bamboo earrings, don’t judge me monkey.
Salt-N-Pepa were on Huff Post Live to talk about their new cooking show on the Cooking Channel called Cookin’ With Salt-N-Pepa. The ladies are on tour and at each stop they venture out to three local hot spots. The fun thing is they are total opposites in taste; Salt is more down-home type of place and Pepa wants a spicier spot with dope people. The third spot is suggested by family, fan or friend.
If we’re talking food then you know I must rock my #FatSnacks tshirt.
I appear at the 8:00 minute mark. The entire interview was a lot of fun, shout out to Trendy Socialite, Dr. Renee & Ella Rucker for participating along with me.
What is your favorite Salt-N-Pepa song? Chat with me in the comment below or FB, IG or Twitter.
Shoop is my FAVE S&P song. Of alllll time LOL
That is in my top 5 for sure. It makes me rap all hard like. lol
Sounds like this was a fun interview for you. I remember salt and Pepa. It brings me back to when I was in high school.
Ha, I love that Jeanette.
That is ssssooooo cool. I LOVED Salt N Pepa when I was a teenager. They were my favorite hip hop act.
Yes Stacie, everyone wanted to be them.
Pardon me if I say I am not familiar with Salt and Pepa but they sound like an amazing dou!
No worries, they were trend setters. They established themselves amongst a mail dominated field.
Cookin’ With Salt-N-Pepa sounds like a great show. I will have to check it out. I watched their reality show when it was on the air.
Ann, so did I. Ha!
OMG the whole story is so cool! thanks for sharing!
Thanks Ana.
That sounds like a lot of fun to be able to interview them. I used to love listening to them when I was younger.
It really was Bonnie, I love when I get such an amazing opportunity like this. To interview someone from my youth, so dope.
You do such amazing things on your blog! Great interview and I would have to say “shoop” as well.
Awww, Jesica, thanks so much. That really warms my heart.

I grew up listening to them in the 80’s. So awesome that they are still around doing what they love!
Ha yes Crystal, I love to see folks still keeping it together all of these years later.
Would you believe that they were a little bit before my time?! Haha but I love that you got to meet them in person! Definitely music icons
Hahahaha Christie. That is okay, you can still listen and catch up. lol
Salt n Pepa were one of my faves! I had huge posters of them and all the other female mc’s in my room. Guess you can tell I wanted to be a rapper lol.
hahaahha Stacie they had us all wanting to be rappers. lol
This sounds like such a fun interview. I was born in the Bronx and raised in Queens so I grew up with them too. I didn’t know they had a cooking show. I’ll have to check it out.
Oh yes Demetra!!!
Now I wanna sing push it lol. Love them! They are legends and I am so glad you got to spend some time with them.
Hahahhahaa Don’t you just love when a song gets stuck in your head.
I’m sure it was an awesome experience getting to interview them! My older sister LOVED Salt n Pepa back in the day so I’ll have to share this with her.

Awesome that you got to interview them. Love their show name. Sounds cute!
Thanks Holly, they are good fun.
This is awesome! They seem like a fun duo to interact with. I’m curious about their cooking show now!
Bree, they are doing more eating than cooking which is what I like to do. lol
Tramp is hands down my fav S-n-P song!!!
Ha! That song brings out all my stank attitude and hand gestures. hahahah good one.
I liked their reality show! You’re on it with these huff post interviews!!! So cool!
Yes girl I watched it as well, it was nice to see them outside of the music. Ha! 😉
This is so dope! I love Salt-n-Peppa! They are musical legends for sure!
Right Valerie, still going strong.
SNP is one of my very favorite groups. I still know all of the words to multiple of their songs. Love this so much!
Yes Tyra, you weren’t down if you didn’t know the words.
What s great opportunity. I love Salt n Pepper. Shoop is definitely m y fav, I get hype anytime it comes in!!
Yes, Staci it turns you into a rapper. lol
Cooking with Salt-N-Pepa sounds so cute! I was a baby when they first came out, but I’m familiar with their songs because they are classics, I randomly hear them on the radio to this day! Shoop and What A Man are their songs that I’m most familiar with and I definitely jam along whenever I hear them!
Ha, I love that.
I love Salt N Pepa. My favorite songs are shake your thang, shoop, and what a man. I will be looking for their show.
Oh these are good choices.
Congrats on the interview!
Thanks Tiff, I loved it.
