“Let's Talk About Sex” by Salt n Pepa

Salt-N-Pepa's third album, Blacks' Magic, came out in 1990, and "Let's Talk About Sex" was the fourth single pulled from it, sent out by Next Plateau in August 1991 with a title that dared radio to blush. Hurby Azor wrote it on his own and co-produced it, wrapping the trio's straight talk in a hip house bounce, and Millicent Shelton directed the video.

It traveled a long way. The single went to number one in Australia, Austria, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland and even Zimbabwe, and it earned the group a Grammy nomination in 1992 in the category for rap performances by a duo or group.
