A Salt With a Deadly Pepa is an album by Salt n Pepa, released in 1988. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 4 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Push It”, on 4 lists with a best position of #64.
A Salt with a Deadly Pepa, the second album from Salt-N-Pepa, landed on July 26, 1988 through Next Plateau and London Records, and the title, a wisecrack on "assault with a deadly weapon", sets the tone. Salt, Pepa and DJ Spinderella were coming off a debut that had gone gold and then platinum, the first female rap act to manage both, and they were in no mood to tone it down.
The beats are built for the dancefloor and the rhymes come armed with sass. "Shake Your Thang" gave them a top-10 R&B hit, "Get Up Everybody (Get Up)" followed it up the R&B chart, and their "Twist and Shout" went all the way to number four in Britain. By December the album had gone gold too.
