JumpinJack AJ Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Salt-N-Pepa is probably the best female Hip-Hop group of all time. In fact i can't even think of any other female Hip-Hop groups that could even be considered for that title (unless u wanna ignore the R-N-B sound of TLC). I'm really excited 2 see this and i'm hoping good things come out from it... -------------------------------------------------- SALT-N-PEPA: Back on the Scene with New VH1 Reality Show Posted Jun 20th 2007 2:28PM by Karu F. Daniels The BV Newswire has learned that VH1 announced a spate of new shows this morning, which the network hopes will surely appeal to their rapidly growing audience -- including a new reality show based on an impending reunion of groundbreaking hip-hop trio Salt-N-Pepa. Titled 'The Salt-N-Pepa Show,' the 10-episode series will follow the ladies -- Cheryl "Salt" James, Sandra "Pepa" Denton and Deidre "Dee Dee" Roper -- as they attempt to reunite on and off the stage, but discovering however, that achieving this is easier said than done since most of their past issues are still unresolved. Hailing from Queens, New York, the trio's break-out hit "Push It" help galvanize hip-hop into the mainstream in the 1980s, along with crossover hits by Run-DMC and The Beastie Boys. With more than 12 million records sold and a string of chart-topping singles, Salt-N-Pepa made history as the first female rap group to net a Grammy Award for "Best Rap Performance" in 1994 for the song 'None of Your Business.' Their songs 'Let's Talk About Sex, ' 'Shoop' and 'Whatta Man' (with EnVogue) became mainstays on radio airwaves, internationally. In 2002, the group officially disbanded for reasons unknown. Their last studio recording was 1997's 'Brand New.' Since then, James has settled down with marriage and religion as her main priority; Denton has stayed in the public eye via eyebrow-raising stint on VH1 reality show 'The Surreal Life'; and Roper continues to dee-jay at events and even hosts a nationally syndicated radio show. "Salt is angry about being unappreciated when they were together and Pepa blames Salt for breaking up the group. Their lifestyles are also polar opposites," read the greenlight notice. Hmmm. It will be quite interesting to see what the 'Show' -- which hasn't been filmed yet -- will reveal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Salt N' Pepa Gets Reality TV Show June 21st, 2007 | Author: Starrene Rhett Vh1 will add seven new TV series' including The Salt n' Pepa Show expected out either in winter '07 or early '08. The series will follow the ladies as they attempt to reunite on and off stage in what producers promise to be a funny and touching show. As they embark on their journey, they will discover that achieving this goal is not as easy as they thought, realizing that a lot of past issues are unresolved. Watch their story unfold as Salt is angry about being unappreciated when they were together as a group, and as Pepa blames Salt for breaking up the group. Their current lifestyles are opposites as Salt has found God and is living a quiet life on Long Island, New York, with her husband while Pepa is a party girl. Viewers will see, by the end of the 10 episode series, whether they can overcome their differences and successfully reunite. The duo is known as the first Grammy Award winning female rap group for Best Rap Performance and has sold over 12 million records with chart toppers like Push It, Let's Talk About Sex, Shoop and Whatta Man. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Salt-N-Pepa Land Reality Show On VH1 Published Thursday, June 21, 2007 8:13 AM By Morris Moore Pioneering female rappers Salt-N-Pepa will star in their own reality show titled The Salt 'N' Pepa Show, which is one of seven new series that will premiere on VH1 in 2008.

Tension arises as the group attempts to resolve old issues, like Salt feeling underappreciated and Pepa's claims that Salt broke up the group. Salt, who is a born-again Christian who has found God, while Pepa is still a "party girl." The Salt 'N' Pepa show comes as VH1 celebrates 20 consecutive quarters of growth among total viewers. The success has been based on the network's original programming on Sunday and Monday nights, with hits like I Love New York and Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School ranking among the top 10 original series for basic cable for 2007. "Over the years, VH1 has been re-imagined for a generation that now consumes, comments on, reinterprets and reinvents our common music and pop culture touchstones," said Brian Graden, President, Entertainment, MTV Networks Music Group and President, Logo. "VH1's latest slate taps into this collective fascination, allowing the conversation to be extended on television and beyond."

In keeping with its celebrity-centric focus, VH1's new shows will center on acts like Salt-n-Pepa, who are reuniting for the first time in years, and Danny Bonaduce. "The dynamics between both of them are very tentative, very tense," Graden said of the two performers in the pilot. Yo, what happened to Spinderella the 3rd member. They aren't going to be like the Fresh Prince and forget about the DJ Jazzy Jeff are they? What would Rob Base be without EZ Rock? What would Rakim be without Eric B and what would EPMD be without DJ Scratch? Wait, nobody probably even knows that DJ Scratch was EPMD's DJ.
