Salt ‘N Pepa recently sat down to answer some questions about themselves and the new show. Here’s an excerpt:
It’s awesome to see you guys back together. How does it feel?
Salt: It feels good. It feels different. It’s a reality because it’s a learning experience this time around for both of us. I’m learning as I’m going, for the better. It’s good. New team, we’re in charge.
I found this quote from 1995 that I thought was prophetic. Salt told Mary Wilson in Interview: “There’s going to come a point in my life where I’m probably not going to want to make records anymore.” Salt, when did you start to realize that the music business wasn’t for you?
Salt: I don’t know when it started. I just got really, really tired and depressed. I had issues. I had self-esteem issues. I was severely bulimic and it was getting more and more out of control as the stress mounted, as the pace of being a superstar got more hectic. It got sour between [Pepa and I] because of other things. Miscommunication. We felt like we couldn’t express ourselves to each other. Other people got in the mix. There’s so many people in your life: managers, lawyers, record-company people. “You gotta do this. You gotta do that.” It just caught up with me. Since I was 18, Salt-N-Pepa just took off. It wasn’t a gradual thing. So this was a build up of many things as well as normalcy. I just wanted some normalcy. If I could put it in one statement, it would be that I felt like I had no control over my life. And that’s not a good feeling.

Dear Salt N Pepa,
I am so happy in my spirit for your transition. Salt, when you guys first came out with “I’ll Take Your Man,” I was the chauffer and drove you girls and Herbie around in a caravan in Baltimore, MD when Virgil Simms bought you all to town. Now I’m a member of a new and upcoming gospel hip hop trio called “3rd Deliverence.” Please check us out, and help us in any way you can, because today’s youth/ hip-hop generation need to hear what we are saying concerning the Kingdom and Word of God.

Its great to see these two strong black women come back together to be in his show,and the growth that they have under gone,speaks volumes.This show is a must see,for sista’s and sisters,brotha’s and brothers can learn alot to.
I’m such a fan of these two, these ladies are beautiful & talented. I’m glad to see they are back. I remember when they first came out, everybody was just blown away by them. Not only are they talented, but a lot of people couldn’t believe that women were doing that kind of music, it was mostly just men rappers. They definitely helped pave the way for other women in the industry. I love this show!
Hello,
It is wonderful that in the midst of obstacles and life stressors that you all have remained true to yourselves. Although you may be different individually, together you make beautiful harmony. It is good to see that your friendship has withstood the test of times (professionally & personally). It’s good to see that your different personalities are a compliment to one another and not a hindrance. Good luck with all your future endeavors. I enjoyed listening to your music then and I am eager for future projects. Remember to Love, Live and Laugh.
P.S. I love this show. Thanks VH1
these ladies are totally disfunctional and need help i feel its a shame that they are airing their dirt on t.v. pepa needs a man and salts man need s to get his wife under control and they both need to apoligize to spinderella she was much more than just a hired helper as a matter of fact for many years she was the only one who even had any sex appeal. come on ladies get it together!

Yeah…it’s me again..same message…
I was so happy to see Salt n Pepa back together again. I’m upset right about now because VH1 is trip’n by not airing the show anymore until Dec. 29th, at a ridiculous time in the AM must I add. It’s like they don’t want to see the show succeed. Salt n Pepa, VH1 what’s up? Holla at your girl. I want to see more new shows, soon!!!!! I’m addicted and can’t stop watching the episodes on the VSPOT daily. I can relate to both women very well. I need to see more, it’s therapeutic because I’ve been in a similar type of friendship. I pray that all is well with Cheryl and Sandy.
I’ll post this message until you get it VH1, put the show back on!!
