Very Necessary by Salt N Pepa
Released: October 12th, 1993
The trio of Salt, Pep and Spin had been racking up hip-hop hits since the late 1980s, but the round-the-way girls appeal reached its crossover peak with their fourth album. Sparked by megahits like “Shoop” and “Whatta Man” it cemented the girls as the the top female stars in hip-hop and went on to become the best-selling hip-hop album ever released by a female act.
