I interviewed Salt N Pepa on the set of Bounce TV's original series 'Family Time' during production of the series' 3rd season.  Salt N Pepa were special guest stars on the show.  'Family Time' stars Omar Gooding (Smart Guy) and Angell Conwell (The Young and the Restless).  This season of Family Time also featured Paula Jai Parker (Hollywood Divas) as Conwell's sister.

Salt (Cheryl James) and Pepa (Sandra Denton) talked about their most recent appearance on Lip Sync Battle on Spike TV.  The show is hosted by LL Cool J and supermodel co-host, Chrissy Teigen.  During the taping, the female MCs both chose pop anthems in Round 1 - Salt, Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone,” and Pepa, Katy Perry’s “Firework.”  For some of their fans, it may have seemed like an odd choice. For Salt and Pepa, however, it was a chance to live out their diva fantasies.  “We can’t sing, so we’ve been wanting to do this for years,”  Salt said, “It’s exhilarating.”  In Round 2, Salt turnt it up with a spot-on performance of Run-D.M.C.’s “It’s Tricky” - complete with the rap group’s signature track suits!  But Pepa, wearing a sequined jumpsuit, channeled in her inner disco diva with a rousing performance of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive”  - and ended up taking home the belt.

Salt N Pepa also discussed being icons in the industry, the advise they have for their children getting started in the entertainment industry, as well as being on tour.  My time with these legends was full of fun and laughter ! Watch my interview below.
