There were not a lot of female rappers in the early 1990s, and the most famous one, Queen Latifah, was blunt in interviews about the lack of respect male hip-hop artists gave the women who wanted a place in their world as vocalists rather than bikini-clad backup dancers.
Then there was Salt-N-Pepa.
They came from Queens, N.Y. They were pretty, yet tough enough to negotiate business deals with music moguls. And their witty songs and sly music videos made it clear that they enjoyed a good sex life as much as any macho male rapper swaggering past a swimming pool full of groupies.
