The first album "Hot, Cool & Vicious" is a certified hip hop classic in my book, great production with incredible sample/break selection (I wonder who out of Herbs camp did the beats), dope cuts by the Original Spinderella (later replaced by Deidre Roper) and great back´n´forth routines by the 2 emcees. Another lil known fact: Kool G Rap wrote the lyrics to their first single (as Salt´n´Pepa), called "I´ll Take Your Man".

I liked their first two albums, even some of the stuff that heads might consider too crossover/ pop like "Shake Your Thang." I was just making the point that The Symbolic Three were also dope and deserve to be recognized, as opposed to being just a footnote in the S&P story ("by the way, there was also another answer record to "The Show").<br /><br />And that's cool about them being the first to rhyme over the "Amen" break. I didn't know that.Werner von Wallenrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102856408266833762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532830659867404404.post-28794813300970611342011-07-18T05:03:30.373-04:002011-07-18T05:03:30.373-04:00"but we should at least try to distinguish be..."but we should at least try to distinguish between them and Super Nature."<br />Yeah, we should, cause in 86 Super Nature bka Salt´n´Pepa, dropped heavy hitters such as "Beauty & The Beat" "My Mike" or "I Desire", being the first crew to rock over the "Amen Break" on wax! Oh yeah, can´t forget "Part II At Warp Speed", the sequel to "Beauty...", lightyears ahead of what the Symbolic Girls were kickin at that time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
