Very Necessary has some incredible fucking songs on it! “Shoop” is a banger, “What a Man” is a banger. Even in ’93, it was pretty groundbreaking for Salt-N-Pepa to rap about sex, and AIDS, and records like these became top-five charting singles that were played everywhere, and are still part of the cultural zeitgeist! I think it’s really easy for some folks to play this off as just another pop record, but there’s so much more here, and I think it’s worth celebrating.
There are few hip-hop acts who have maintained the kind of longevity and stamina as Salt-N-Pepa did throughout their career. Cheryl James and Sandra Denton started off as the duo Super Nature and recorded a single called ‘The Showstopper’, which garnered attention from local New York radio stations. Before long, listeners were calling in to request the track. By 1987, the duo recruited Deidre Roper to join as Spinderella, and the three women were prepared to pounce on the hip-hop industry with a new name: Salt-N-Pepa. The same year, they released ‘Push It’, their first big hit. The single was certified platinum, reaching No.19 on Billboard, and wrote the group into history as the first female hip-hop act to hit platinum status. Their path to hip-hop royalty had been laid. By the time they released their fourth album, Very Necessary, Salt-N-Pepa had become the most successful hip-hop album by a female act.

By the time Salt-N-Pepa dropped Very Necessary, on 12 October 1993, they were already an established hip-hop act. Their previous album’s breakthrough single, ‘Let’s Talk About Sex’, asserted them as women who were sexually savvy, autonomous and without shame. Hip-hop was – and largely still is – filled with male rappers, but Salt-N-Pepa offered a different picture of what MCs could look like. Confidence and sensuality saturated their albums and gave rappers everywhere a run for their money.
Very Necessary is 2LP, standard weight on clear-and-black (or Salt-N-Pepa) marbled vinyl. It looks beautiful. This album was a DMM cut because it wasn’t recorded to tape. There’s also a “Shoop” stencil!
