Ibadat Kaur is an entertainment writer at Netflix Junkie. Her love for Narcos &amp; Pedro Pascal is what brought her to the world of entertainment news. She has immense love for historical and investigative documentaries on people and cultural practices. If this was not enough, she was a blogger prior to keeping her step in the glitz and glamor of the entertainment world and covered culture and heritage while traveling across Central and South America. For Ibadat, writing has been her safe space, and she aims to pick up reviewing anthology formats like Black Mirror &amp; Criminal at Netflix Junkie. If you want an expert on comedy (dark and satire) psychology or travel, then Ibadat is your person. While you will mostly find her covering everything and anything from the world of entertainment, about her favorite celebrities, shows, and movies, Ibadat is an avid Schitt's Creek fan and loves the novel George Orwell’s 1984. And if not this, she will be seen actively backpacking for her next trip, petting her dog Raven, or studying the human condition (side-eye).

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well, the video served as an amusing throwback to his rap career. Furthermore, it also did the job of intimating his fans about the decades-long bond he had preserved with Salt-N-Pepa. Not to forget the reminder of the three’s fresh style that they carry with them to this day. It is safe to say that netizens were thoroughly impressed with the 55-year-old’s social media game. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The post also served as the perfect tribute to the ladies&#8217; careers that revolutionized the hip-hop industry. </span></p>
<h2><strong>Salt-N-Pepa&#8217;s enduring legacy </strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the late 80s, the rap industry was just as male-dominated as any other. The pioneering hip-hop duo of Salt-N-Pepa, consisting of Cheryl James (Salt) and Sandra Denton (Pepa) broke through that glass ceiling. With their bold lyrics and fearless attitude, these ladies became the <strong>first ever female rap act to attain RIAA-certified gold and subsequently platinum levels</strong> with their debut album, ‘Hot, Cool &amp; Vicious’. Their ‘Push It’ track from that album is still a part of mainstream media to this day! </span></p>
<div class="flex-video widescreen youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Salt-N-Pepa - Push It (Official Music Video)" width="1170" height="658" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vCadcBR95oU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Besides ‘Push It’ that featured in the fit sci-fi thriller <em>Hot Tub Time Machine</em>, <strong>‘Shoop’ from the same album also appeared in <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ryan-reynolds/">Ryan Reynolds</a>&#8216; 2016 blockbuster: <em>Deadpool</em>.</strong> So, it can be said that even after 4 decades, Salt-N-Pepa’s chart-topping tracks have retained their timeless allure. No wonder Smith thought it fit to bring the dynamic ladies onto his podcast as an ode to their legacies!</span></p>
