Salt N Pepa were the first female rappers with a platinum album. These young ladies put in the work back then to make themselves viable in the male dominated field and then they turned to writing and producing themselves, which female rappers do not do at all, and prduced their biggest hits. If any rapper deserves the induction, its these ladies. Love them. Posted by Troy on Monday, 11/10/2014 @ 08:48am |
Most definitely they deserve a place in the rock hall. They were one of the best selling and longest lasting rap act of their Era . Not to mention their influence expanded far beyond rap. Posted by Harold White on Monday, 09/14/2015 @ 04:16am |
Pioneers and major hit makers (with a message). They broke down all walls for every female rapper that came after. The weren't afraid to rap about controversial topics and taboos. They have many songs that have stood the test of time. I would really likethem to at least be nominated Posted by Jackie on Friday, 04/26/2019 @ 06:51am |
Saw Salt 'n Papa as part of NKOTB's Mixtape Tour the other night. This was one of the highlights, I admit. Of the five acts I saw, Salt 'n Pepa were the only one that would very likely be enshrined into the Hall someday. Not only do they still have the moves (and voices, as well as rapping), they still have the beat. They even had a decent career that I believe lasted for a decade. Not bad for a group whose roots go back to working at Sears. I think its safe to say they were one of the few acts that burst out onto the rap scene during its "experimental" era, and would later become a pop sensation. But like all the other pop acts, they disappeared. Posted by Jason Voigt on Saturday, 05/11/2019 @ 15:26pm |

Queen Latifah and M C lyte should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame before Salt and Pepper. Love Salt Pepper though always will. Posted by Aldene on Monday, 02/6/2023 @ 10:09am |
Since they're starting to branch out into inducting Hip Hop artists, why not? Missy Elliot got in and should open those doors for more female Hip Hop acts to get in. Salt-N-Pepa are one of the firsts acts to bring attention to female artists in the Hip Hop industry. They should absolutely be considered for being Trail Blazers for females in Hip Hop.
