What better way to celebrate a historic Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction than grooving down the Jennifer Hudson Show spirit tunnel?<\/p>\n
On Tuesday (Nov. 11), Grammy-winning hip-hop group Salt-N-Pepa visited Hudson\u2019s talk show to reflect on more than three decades of boundary-obliterating moves. From reclaiming their masters (which they alluded to in their Rock Hall induction speech on Nov. 8) to evolving with music-industry changes, the trio\u2019s conversation also dove into their iconic fashion statements and the story behind \u201cWhatta Man,\u201d their 1994 Billboard Hot 100<\/a> No. 3 hit with En Vogue.<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n A few hours before the episode aired, the official Jennifer Hudson Show social media accounts shared clips of Salt-N-Pepa<\/a> making their way down the spirit tunnel, which was coincidentally parodied on Saturday Night Live<\/a> the same day as the Rock Hall ceremony. The three ladies hit their cleanest dance moves, the Cabbage Patch chief among them, to the tune of the crew\u2019s recreation of \u201cPush It,\u201d which reached No. 19 on the Hot 100 and appeared on the group\u2019s 1986 debut album, Hot, Cool & Vicious. The Jennifer Hudson Show crew\u2019s remixed \u201cPush It\u201d lyrics also included a reference to the trio\u2019s recent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.<\/p>\n The trio was officially inducted into the prestigious club following a speech from 2023 Rock Hall inductee<\/a> Missy Elliott and a medley of their classics, including both \u201cPush It\u201d and \u201cWhatta Man,\u201d the latter of which gave way to an En Vogue appearance. Most notably, DJ Spinderella became the first female DJ ever inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I started, it was a rare thing to see a woman behind turntables,\u201d Spinderella said during her induction speech<\/a>. \u201cIt was literally the boys\u2019 club, so I had to carve my own lane. I had to show up. It was dedication; it was my craft, and I never missed a beat, in 40 years y\u2019all \u2026 I carry every female DJ who ever dared to dream. Every woman who touched a turntable and said, \u2018I can do that too.\u2019 This is ours. Respect the DJ.\u201d<\/p>\n Though Salt-N-Pepa has not released a studio album since 1997\u2019s Brand New, the group remains one of the most lauded and beloved in hip-hop history. In 2023, Billboard ranked the trio the No. 8 Best Rap Group of All Time<\/a>, making them the highest-placing all-woman outfit on the list.<\/p>\n Check out Salt-N-Pepa and DJ Spinderella\u2019s spirit tunnel moves below.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Billboard VIP Pass<\/p>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
