The TV movie shows how Hurby helped Salt-N-Pepa’s ascent to fame. Hurby Luv Bug Azor not only co-wrote the Salt-N-Pepa hit Push It, but found a successful formula of pop-crossover rap production that made the ’90s hip-hop group into multi-platinum stars, as AllMusic reports. And, per James, she and Sandra 'Pepa' Denton had more of a predilection for playing cards than. as did James then-boyfriend and future Salt-N-Pepa producer, Hurby 'Love Bug' Azor. And even if its sound and style are very much of their time, 2 Hype still holds up surprisingly well, thanks to Kid ’N Play ’s winning personalities. Yesterday, Lifetime premiered a Salt-N-Pepa biopic that was claimed to be an. And that behind-the-scenes role is only fitting. Salt-N-Pepas Cheryl 'Salt' James is worth a fortune, one earned over three decades from the debut of Salt, Pepa, and Spinderella her net worth is 14 million. Hurby ‘Luv Bug’ Azor ’s production keeps things danceable and engaging throughout the sound is fairly spare, with funky and occasionally club-friendly beats, catchy instrumental hooks behind the choruses, and basic DJ scratching.

If all of this seems safe and lightweight, it’s also a tremendous amount of good, clean fun. There isn’t much on the duo’s minds other than friendship, dancing, and dating, and everything stays pretty innocent – Kid even confesses to being shy around girls on ‘ Undercover ’. with Steve Huey raving: “Accusations of being soft notwithstanding, those qualities are exactly what give their debut album, 2 Hype, its refreshing charm. After Push It became a hit in 1987 and was re-released to even wider success in early 1988, Hurby Azors accomplishments with Salt-N-Pepa put him in a. The cover shot is about as non-threatening as you can get. Sebastian Dungan serves as the Lifetime executive in charge of production.I recently bought the first album by Kid ’N Play, 2 Hype ( 1988) – mostly because of the hair, I admit, since I really didn’t know anything else about them – and found it to be a really enjoyable record. The biopic is also executive produced by Cheryl James, Sandra Denton, Shakim Compere and Queen Latifah and is co-executive produced by Hurby Azor.


Robert Teitel (The Hate U Give, Barbershop Franchise) from State Street Pictures serves as executive producer. The movie stars GG Townson as Cheryl “Salt” James, Laila Odom as Sandra “Pepa” Denton, Cleveland Berto as music producer “Hurby Azor,” Jermel Howard as rapper “Treach” and Monique Paul as “DJ Spinderella.” Salt-N-Pepa is produced by Sony Pictures Television and directed by Mario Van Peebles (New Jack City, Baadasssss!) from a script by Abdul Williams (The Bobby Brown Story, The New Edition Story). ‘Do You Want Me’ was similarly successful, encouraging the record company to put out A Blitz Of Salt ‘N’ Pepa Hits, a collection of remixes, in their absence. The Salt-N-Pepa story will surely make the pioneering rappers’ daughters proud, as it is inspirational and aspirational for any young woman trying to pursue a dream. The film will feature performances of Salt-N-Pepa’s greatest hits, including: “Let’s Talk About Sex”, “What a Man”, “Shoop” and “Push It”. Both Salt and Pepa were otherwise engaged having babies (Pepa in 1990, Salt in 1991 DJ Spinderella would make it a hat trick of single mothers in the group a short time later). The movie follows the group as they become the first female rap act to go platinum and experience ground-breaking success with multiple awards, including a Grammy award – paving the way for all female rappers to follow. Salt-N-Pepa made a huge impact as one of the first all-female rap groups, changing the look of hip hop and being unafraid to talk about sex and share their thoughts on men. Salt-N-Pepa details the journey of Queensborough Community College students Cheryl “Salt” James and Sandra “Pepa” Denton as they enter the world of rap and hip hop, after recording a song for their friend Hurby Azor.
