Talk:Salt-N-Pepa

Green
DJ Pamela Green was once the mixer for the hip-hop sensation Salt-n-Pepa. The duo's manager, Hurby 'LuvBug' Azor hired the young teen in mid-1986. From there, Green was featured on Salt-n-Pepa's first LP, Hot, Cool, & Vicious which the DJ was known specifically for the beat on the hit single, Push It. In 1988, the duo jettisoned Green and hired DJ Spinderella. Seeing as Azor mistreated Salt-n-Pepa and took all their royalties by copyrighting their names and songs in his name, Green let herself be known as 'The Original', stating all her mixing skills and name was totally up to her..

"Dropping aznor"?
what does dropping aznor mean? Salt N Pepa dropped producer HURBY LUV BUG AZOR alreadey after their second album. wathiik

They didn't totally drop him after the second album, they couldn't. they still had a contract. Azor just agreed to let them work with other producers to finish their album because he was working with other acts producing them. Check out Blacks' Magic album; Azor does production on that as well, just not the whole album. Hence, he let them work with other producers to finish it. By the way, he also produces on their next album Very Necessary, again not the whole album. The fifth and final album Brand New is the only album in which Azor does no production. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.170.58.42 (talk) 10:21, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Wikify
Add a discography heading with songs and the dates and the position they reached in the chart and also I believe they brought out a song called Lets Talk About AIDs.

Yes that's true they did but that was only for a campaign ad. I think if you look REAL HARD on the net, you can download it somewhere.

I've Never Heard of DJ Pamela Green
There have been 2 members of Salt 'N Pepa that both went by the same name of "Spinderella".

The orignal Spinderella was forced out of the group after the first album (Hot, Cool & Vicious) was recorded. She appears on the album cover & even gives her real name "Latoya Hanson" in an interview contained within the liner notes. She went on to become known as Da Original.

The group retained the rights to the name Spinderella & Latoya was replaced by Dee Dee Roper who became the new Spinderella.

-The first Spinderella, Latoya Green, was not in the group for long. She did some DJ'ing on the first album as it was being recorded but upon the release of the album, she and Salt could not longer get along. Hanson did get along with Pepa, however. Hurby Azor, the producer/manager, was Salt's boyfriend, but he wasn't faithful. He was also seeing Hanson on the side. Hanson became disinterested in the group due to the constant arguments between her and Salt. Hanson was gone before the first album was even released. In fact, she tried to stop the DJ'ing she did on the album from being used and released but she lost. Since artwork had been done and credits and linear notes already taken care of, she appears on the cover. But she had long been gone and replaced by Dee Dee Roper. At the time, Azor owned the rights to the names Salt, Pepa, and Spinderella. So Azor hired Roper as Spinderella and Hanson was gone even before the album was released. This is why Hanson doesn't appear in any videos as part of Salt-N-Pepa and Roper does; even appearing in "Push It" from the first album, as well as everything after. Hanson's stint in the group wasn't long. Roper is known as Spinderella, and integral part of Salt-N-Pepa. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.170.58.42 (talk) 10:44, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Legend
They make super funky tunes like and people think they're too cool for it just cos they prefer rappers like Tupac, and 50 Cent. Well *** that type of peeps --Big-piggy 17:09, 13 January 2007 (UTC)SPOOKY CALIBER

Band name?
Their albums seem to have the group's name written with apostrophes (sometimes 'n, sometimes 'n'), but not dashes. I'm curious why the dashes have adopted for the article. TheHYPO (talk) 17:37, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Agreed on the band name, should be listed as Salt 'N Pepa, as that is the spelling used on most of their albums. How to rename article? --SteffenPoulsen 12:43, 26 July 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by SteffenPoulsen (talk • contribs)
 * A quick look at the album art on Amazon shows -N-, -n-, 'n, 'N'. The hyphenated version (and I think they are hyphens, not dashes) seems most prevalent. -Rrius (talk) 00:38, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The article name is Salt-n-Pepa, but the article lead capitalises the "n". AllMusic seems to settle on Salt-N-Pepa as well. Is there any objection if a change the name of the article to reflect that? BlackCab  ( TALK ) 07:04, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Sales figures
The article contains various sales figures and gold disc mentions but fails to provide a single reference for any of it. I suspect it may be more fancruft rather than fact, but either way needs citing or removing.

Very Necessary: "The album is the best selling album by a female rap act"
The Score by the Fugees and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill have sold more, although it could be argued that the first is not exclusively female and the second is not exclusively rap. See Erik Ross, 50 Best Selling Rap Albums of All Time," Complex, 18 May 2013. 109.144.208.110 (talk) 09:44, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

That seems accurate. The Fugees had two male members and just one female member so not exactly a female group even if the female was the lead vocal, and Hill's solo album was not all rap. Then there's TLC with the CrazySexyCool album, but that had very large parts of singing in it with T-Boz and Chilli, so seems Very Necessary is actually the top selling female rap album. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.170.58.42 (talk) 13:16, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Merge Latoya Hanson here
Latoya Hanson doesn't meet WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG independently, but would make valid merge / redirect. Boleyn (talk) 13:58, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

I disagree. She is independently notable. She appears in a number of sources. CrazyAces489 (talk) 06:05, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Still struggling with GNG after all this time. Trivial mentions in sources are not what GNG require. All the mentions are in the context of being spinderella briefly, so merge makes sense.-86.2.216.5 (talk) 06:19, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Pictures
There are currently two pictures in this article and both show Salt and Pepa. Seems there should be a picture in the article that shows Salt, Pepa, and Spinderella. Deidre Roper as Spinderella was an integral part of the group; even producing, rapping, and DJ'ing on the group's albums. There can be a picture or pictures that contain just Salt and Pepa, but there should be a picture that contains all three as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.170.58.42 (talk) 13:26, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
