SALT Someone asked us, when we first met, what intrigued us about one another. I love taking something from nothing and bringing it to fruition, I love the response from the audience, but I don’t necessarily love everything that comes along with it - the attention and the chatter. What I love about being an artist is the creative process. SALT I’m an introvert and a little bit of a recluse. The opposites-attract part of your personae, as depicted in the movie, is based on reality? It was just an explosion of creativity, of passion, of drama that resonated into a sound, a music, a movement. Pep and Hurby used to fight like cats and dogs. SALT Pep always says, “Hurby is our third,” and the chemistry between the three of us was explosive on so many levels.

“Pep called and was like, ‘Girl, we have to do our movie before someone else does.’” Latifah, an old friend, attended meetings where they picked the director (Mario Van Peebles) and screenwriter (Abdul Williams of “The Bobby Brown Story”). “It was something me and Pep had been shopping around,” Salt said. The film - which they executive produced along with Queen Latifah and others - begins and ends on a note of unity, showing their 2005 reunion for a VH1 event. The group’s longtime D.J., Spinderella, is a character in the film, too, but the biopic doesn’t cover her unsuccessful lawsuit against the duo, which was filed in 2019.
It was just the beginning: James became Salt and Denton became Pepa the group changed its name and scored 10 hits on the Hot 100, including the ’80s dance classic “Push It” and the ’90s sex anthem “Shoop,” becoming one of the few superstar female acts of hip-hop’s male-dominated golden era.įixtures on the I Love the ’90s tour circuit in recent years, the two tell their story in a new Lifetime biopic, “Salt-N-Pepa,” out Saturday, that captures both the rush of touring the world and the conflicts that broke them up in 2002. While selling warranties on washing machines from a Sears call center in Queens, the friends Cheryl James and Sandra Denton came together as a hip-hop duo called Super Nature with the staccato 1985 track “The Show Stoppa (Is Stupid Fresh).” When they first heard it on the radio, they danced together on top of a car.
