Salt N Pepa Music Group

Being a member of Salt-N-Pepa, the most successful female rap group of all time, has its stressful moments. After a long morning of interviews and radio appearances, the pressure isenough to drive one member of the trio up a wall. "Stop that!"

The Spice Girls may claim to represent Girl Power, but those synthetic British bandmates are mere poseurs when compared with the three empowered and empowering females in Salt-N-Pepa. At the Galaxy Concert Theatre in Santa Ana on Thursday night, the New York-based Salt-N-Pepa delivered the sassy charisma and party-time energy that are two of its most appealing trademarks.

M ove over "knockin' da boots" and "hittin' the skins"--Salt-N-Pepa has given us a new hip-hop term for sex. And, not surprisingly, it's selling. "Shoop," one of the sizzling tracks from the rap trio's first album in three years, playfully toys with the risque business of sex and the single girl. "Give me some of that yum-yum chocolate chip / Honey dipped / Can I get a scoop?"
