Hurby azor brother6/11/2023 ![]() While gangsta rap spins violent odes and misogynistic threats, Salt-N-Pepa celebrate female independence, female sexuality, and-yes-motherhood. “A good man says he loves me,” James says. ![]() A good man takes his time when he makes love. ![]() (Part of Naughty by Nature, Treach once came onstage at Radio City wielding a chain saw.) Then there’s Spinderella (Dee Roper), the group’s D.J., who lies on a bearskin rug, in black lace.Ī good man, Spin raps, “touch me in the right spot.” Salt-N-Pepa, it seems, have at last discovered what a good man really is. Pepa (Sandi Denton) rubs her hands over the oiled body of Treach, her real-life rapper boyfriend. “I wanna take a minute or two and give much respect to/ The man that’s made a difference in my world,” raps Salt (Cheryl James), the group’s founding member, wearing a pair of denim shorts undone at the waist. In the video of their single “Whatta Man,” made with the group En Vogue and released this week, Salt-N-Pepa have a warmth and sexual heat that make Madonna seem contrived and mechanical. Whatta man, whatta man, whatta man, whatta mighty good man! Salt-N-Pepa, the world’s top female rap group, have fallen in love again. Guys have hurt them, but they have found better ones. They have had babies. They have been to the gym. They are sleek and muscled and beautiful. And they are still doing the things your mother taught you not to-wearing tight clothes, wiggling their bodies, showing their underwear. *From the Januissue of New York Magazine.
