RSSShoop, the lead single from Very Necessary (Next Plateau/London), typifies their shtick: a lyric that has the girls surveying talent--"wanna thank your mother for a butt like that"--over a Sweet Inspirations sample. Groove Me (dancehall riddims under King Floyd title), None of Your Business (as in "ain't nobody's"), Sexy Noises Turn Me On (male and female both), and What a Man (background vocals by En Vogue) vary the formula. And a closing playlet called I've Got AIDS is rap's scariest condom ad yet.
Tastes in sex being as personal as they are, those who find Salt-n-Pepa a mite soft-core have their own femme-rap option: HWA (Hoez With Attitude), a Chicago real-estate salesperson and her two friends who moved to L.A. to make it in show business. Call As Much Ass Azz U Want (Ruthless) a concept EP about eating pussy. And give the ladies credit--unlike too many of their male colleagues, they don't think you're a slut after youn give them head.
Fast Cuts: The title cut of John Forster's Entering Marion (Philo) misreads a road sign with sexually hilarious results, and his Paul Simon parody ain't bad either. Born To Choose (Rykodisc) works a gratifying double whammy: entertaining and educational as both alternative-rock sampler and prochoice propaganda.
