4.0 out of 5 stars Salt 'n Pepa is a great group of talented rappers!, December 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Very Necessary (Audio CD)

Very necessary by Salt 'n Pepa is one of the best rap albums I have heard. I give this CD 4 stars, though, because not all of the tracks are excellent. "Shoop", "None of your business", and "Step" are the best tracks on the album. If you like women rappers, this is a must-have for your collection. Salt 'n Pepa is a very talented group and all of their albums are great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply The Best Album Ever!, October 14, 2004

Simeon Alacoque Suscipperra (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Very Necessary (Audio CD)

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.

This review is from: Very Necessary (Audio CD)

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).

I'm not a big Hip-Hop fan, but I enjoyed this CD. It's clever and makes a point. Some of the words go over my head because of the profanity, but the music is very well done.
