Salt-N-Pepa - Push It

Music Appreciation

Who else could make leather jackets, gold chains, and black spandex look cool? Cheryl James (aka Salt), Sandra Denton (aka Pepa) and Dee Dee Roper (aka Spinderella). Yes, Salt-N-Pepa, "the godmothers of rap," introduced the world to "Push It" in 1987.

So what was going on in the world when "Push It" was released? U.S. President Ronald Reagan addressed the American people on the Iran-Contra Affair, and U2 released their Joshua Tree album.
