Very Necessary

Amazon.com
There are two ways of combating the blazing misogyny of gangsta rap: with water or with fire. Journalists, teachers, and ministers have been trying to douse the flames of sexism with intellectual and moral arguments. The reasoning is persuasive, but it's doubtful it reaches rap's hard-core young audience. For that crowd, you have to fight fire with fire, and that's just what the female rap trio Salt 'N' Pepa have done so successfully with Very Necessary. With their explicit rapping about bedroom gymnastics, Salt 'N' Pepa are unlikely to be held up as role models in classrooms or churches anytime soon. For a sexually active teenage girl, however, the trio shows how you can get your pleasure without putting up with any disrespect. Salt 'N' Pepa's hit singles "Whatta Man" and "Shoop" are both sensual appreciations of the men they like, but the album also contains some hilarious, pitiless putdowns of the men who don't treat them right. --Geoffrey Himes

What can I say?.......2007-04-11

It's Salt and Pepa. Soooo good! The only thing I wish was on this CD was 'Push It' but this CD will not disappoint you if you choose to buy it

Very Necessary ~ Salt-N-Pepa.......2007-01-09

I like this CD. It can get me uplifted in the mornings so that I may begin my day!

Salt N Pepa.......2006-02-23

I enjoyed recieving this CD. I had it before, but it was stolen by some near-do-wells who couldn't buy there own. Anyway, it is an excellent CD for you old school-ers by a group of ladies that knew how to rap. You won't find this type of sophisticated rapping anymore (at least not in my age bracket).

great hip hop.......2005-08-06

salt n pepa knew how to make some of the most memorable hip hop hooks of all time

Simply The Best Album Ever!.......2004-10-15

Salt 'N Pepa's "Very Necessary" is one of the few albums where you never think of skipping a track. Every song is not good, not great, but EXCELLENT. They were, of course, the first and best women in hip-hop music (not to mention the cutest). Although only three of the songs on Very Necessary made it to the Billboard Top 40, they're all on the list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. If you were a kid in the '90s, you'll certainly love Salt 'N Pepa's 1993 album Very Necessary.

Metal is Back.......2002-12-07

You can't call Quick Change a hair band because a couple of the guys have shaved their heads. You can call them an old school metal band because they were signed back in the day! The music is great if you like metal! If you find 80's metal to be too passe you might want to skip this CD and wait for their next one with their new singer...

Metal is Back.......2002-12-06

Quick Change is bringing the 80's to the new Millenium! If you like Hair Bands you will like them!! Not Glam Bands mind you, but true metal bands. But if you hate 80's metal you might not like them as much...
