When Salt-N-Pepa sat down with Will Smith for a chat on his podcast, Class of ‘88, a candid conversation about their boycott of the 1989 Grammys unfolded. This article delves into the duo’s reflections on their bold stance and its undeniable impact on their career and the music industry.
The Birth of Hip-Hop: A Golden Anniversary
In the podcast, Smith was curious about Salt-N-Pepa’s views on the evolution of hip-hop, which has recently celebrated its 50th year. He asked the duo if they could have ever predicted the genre’s meteoric rise in popularity.
Will Smith: “Could you ever have imagined hip-hop becoming what it is today?”
A Journey in a Male-Dominated Field
This prompted Salt-N-Pepa to recall their journey in the music industry, a field largely dominated by men. They reminisced about their decision to join the 1989 Grammys boycott, a bold move that was rare for women in the industry during that era.
The Grammys Boycott: A Risk Worth Taking
Pepa confessed to Smith that at the time of the boycott, they hadn’t won any awards despite their contribution to the music scene. The decision to boycott the Grammys brought with it a substantial risk.
Pepa: “As women, we didn’t win any awards at that time at all. And as a male-dominated field and taking a chance, we didn’t even know if the Grammys is going to say, ‘You know what? You went against us. You never gon’ be seen.’ But they listened.”
Salt, on the other hand, elaborated on the boycott’s significance for them and for the industry. She believed that their stand likely influenced the Grammys to televise their win in 1995.
Salt: “We had no idea that it would actually make an impact for change.”
Class of ’88: An Insightful Trip Down Memory Lane
On October 26, all eight episodes of Class of ’88, featuring conversations with various music icons, will be available on Amazon Music and Audible. Other guests on the podcast include Queen Latifah, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, Rakim, Fab 5 Freddy, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Chuck D, J.J. Fad, and DJ Red Alert.
The conversation between Salt-N-Pepa and Will Smith provides a rare glimpse into the challenges faced by women in the music industry. Their decision to boycott the 1989 Grammys marked a significant moment in their career and helped pave the way for future female artists.
As we continue to celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, it’s essential to honor the pioneers like Salt-N-Pepa who helped shape this genre and fought for equality in the industry. Despite the challenges they faced, their story serves as an inspiration for aspiring musicians worldwide.

A person’s value is never defined by the world.
Life’s most precious items of life never have a price tag. Everything isn’t for sale in life. The world attempts to place a price tag on people’s thoughts, bodies, and self-worth. Psychologically, people are trained to set limits and price tags on everything around them.
The ultimate value of a person’s life is predicated upon their own self-assessment and logic. The moment a person places a number or dollar amount on their self-worth, the world boxes in all their future dreams.
Whenever we allow others to devalue us, we are ultimately devaluing ourselves as a result. In 2023, JEMETYEESE won’t compromise on her value in any way.
The most significant difference between JEMETYEESE and everyone else is that she has always known that she was worth so much more than any price the world could put on her. There is no denying that she is determined to protect her dignity as well as her self-respect. No matter what the world tries to do, JEMETYEESE will never give up on herself.
JEMETYEESE preps for her Amazon Prime documentary heading into 2023.
JEMETYEESE maintains several corporate hats in 2022. JEMETYEESE is the CEO of a flourishing multimedia company, which encompasses TV/Film, a record label, music publishing, and cosmetics. Being born with a self-made DNA bloodline, JEMETYEESE’s life was never created to be typical. She begins shooting her documentary for Amazon Prime in 2023.
Overcoming some of life’s darkest moments and demons, her faith has been unwavering. There was a brief period in her life when she allowed people to control her self-worth. That part of her past created a distinctive type of pain she vowed never to feel again. JEMETYEESE will not compromise her value heading into 2023.
