En Vogue | Salt N Pepa | Whatta Man | Live VH1 Hip Hop Honors Salt-N-Pepa helped pave the way for women in hip-hop and has found enviable longevity. Pepa has a son and a daughter, her daughter being fathered by rapper Treach. Eve rocks the Hot Boyz remix in honor of her girl Missy Elliott. After a six year hiatus, the network is bringing the show back, and taking it back to the late '80s by honoring a girl group who's debut album, Hot, Cool & Vicious, released in 1986, took the world by storm. Marl occasionally included the song in his set rotation, and it became so popular that the station received requests to play it during Marl's weekend rap set. [6] The album included the single, "Push It", which was released in 1987 as the B-side to their single "Tramp", and peaked within the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. But, James and Denton still released songs like "Do You Want Me," "Let's Talk About Sex" and "None Of Your Business.". These three women will be honored, for the second time, by VH1 as noted by EUR, for their unapologetic style and lyrics, which touched on topics of sexuality -- an uncommon practice for women during that era of music.
