Hip-hop girl power on the “Walk of Fame”: The rappers in the US band Salt-N-Pepa, who celebrated their first successes in the 1980s, have been immortalized in Hollywood with a star plaque. On the famous “Walk of Fame” sidewalk, the musicians Cheryl ‘Salt’ James (56) and Sandra ‘Pepa’ Denton (55) together with Deidra Roper (51), also known as DJ Spinderella, revealed on Friday (local time) the 2738. Plaque. It’s right next to the star of hip-hop icon Missy Elliott.
It was hard work and a real struggle in a male-dominated world, Sandra ‘Pepa’ Denton said of her beginnings 37 years ago. Her success is proof that women can assert themselves.
The group is best known for hit songs like “Push It” (1987), “Let’s Talk About Sex” (1991) and “Whatta Man” (1993). They won a Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Group in 1995 for “None of Your Business.”
