[cherubicnerd]

read enlightened sexism by susan j. douglas. it's a great book. salt and pepa's "independent" video is discussed in the "you go,girl" chapter.

[mstemakag]

hell yea if u independent throw ur hands up,all the ladies makin ur own money!!!!!! This is my mix with Beyonce INDEPENDENT!!!!!!!!!!

[tieuellegacy]

I've always loved this song right up there with My Mic Sounds Nice. Never heard this version though. Damn Salt has always caught my attention and she still looks good. Those white shorts are killin' though. Tieuel Legacy! Motion

[MayaMjbFan1]

Goooooooooo Follow @DaOnlySalt !!

[gale31]

Men and Women Rule!! When they choose to work together instead of trying to best eachother and constantly pointing out eachothers weaknesses.

[QueenBlack1981]

ok, maybe a stupide question but is being an independent woman the same as BEING LIKE a man in manners and attitudes?

[LisaMentamir]

@QueenBlack1981 that's not a stupid question. I believe we're not the same. In general, men are not as emotional and layered as women are.

An independent woman is a woman who has done- and continues to do great things in her life. She works hard to support herself and, if needed, her family. She doesn't depend on anyone else but herself to take care of her business.

To answer your question; no. Being an independent woman is not the same as being like a man in manners and attitudes. :-)

[Mapletopia]

Men aren't better than Women

Women aren't better than Men

PERIOD

[schclum]

you can be as nice as you can to women but they never fucking respect us, they think we're all just pigs, well thats great but if there were no men you'd would have to swim to get to another country, so instead of fucking complaining about how we're no good all the time you can appreciate the society that men have built without the help of women

[MelanieTanner1976]

@schclum Your an idiot. Without the help of women??? Who gave birth to them?? Dude with that attitude your never getting laid.

[nellyluscious]

awwww i jus love salt n pepa!!!!

[lilmariah1216]

salt and pepa are sooo good at rap.

[redradlad]

would lik some salt n pepa with that?

[Cardio1027]

I strongly dislike Vevo. Their damn commericals. If I wanted to see commercials I would watch tv.

[deville487]

@Cardio1027 Ever heard of AdBlock+ ? ;)

[originaldeftom]

OMG! I have never seen or heard this before, so this is a total treat for me....and I thought I knew them all, lol. I think those 3 girls are so underrated.

[jnl30]

See new female rappers can take a lesson from them! You can still be sexy and classy!!!

[MamansFrugal]

I love it !8 people are dependent.

[dreamtreader]

@DirtyFaceCapon3 @diamondlife Lighten the FUCK up!

[DirtyFaceCapon3]

Nobody's independent, where all slaves to the system.Imagine somebody plugged into the Matrix bragging about how independent they are? wouldn't they look ridiculously foolish?

It's all an illusion.Generated by the "machine"in order to create a market,tap into it, and gain more resources.Being spiritually dead, you forget how to live.The machine creates personality types & ideologies for you to puppeteer.The music is used to tap into your emotion & cause a chemical reaction in your brain.Wise up

[dreamtreader]

7 people are intimidated by independent women.

[diamondlife]

@dreamtreader

I'd like to know if you women will embrace all facets of independence ie; going dutch on dates without harsh feelings and thinking he's cheap.

[THUNDEROUS122]

SNP the legendary sisters

[197008]

Wow the memories!

[ryanbelknap]

OMG she is using the nintendo advantage. I'm pretty sure I used that controller while playing nintendo and listening to this song. Go blacks magic!!!!

[exoticediblecho]

That's  what's up

[toemeraldcity]

Did Beyoncee redo this song???

[reel1840]

yeah

[billyripp]

They still had Herb.

[dellculookin]

These have been and will ALWAYS be my girls! I wish we had more current female m.c's who can spit lyrics empowering young ladies and women of today.

[BeyonceSoloStar]

OMFGoodness....This Is One Of My ALL-TIME Fav. Salt-N-Pepa Song & I Didn't Know They Had A Video For It....Wow....

[stigadyboy]

they girls was here before the foxy brown, lil kim, and lil barbien nickii they rep on tha real bring em back. lol

[playersunny113]

OMG LUV THIS SONG THIS WAS MY JAM

[LucidDreamz]

Derp derp derp to all the people that believe this is a "man-hating" video. It's OBVIOUSLY directed towards the men that believe because they are financially supporting women that they have a right to walk all over them and treat them like they mean nothing. It's giving them a taste of their own medicine. The only men that would dislike this video, and intentionally misconstrue the message are those pathetic type of males. The hater youtube comments prove my point even more.

[Starr7769]

Great song one of my favorites from my favorite girl rap groups

[eraeser1]

May Allah guide them to islam and Hizbollah! SALAM ALEYKUM

[sslim29205]

This is the most black male hating shit I have ever heard. Why are these black men in chains ? So if a white man GIVES a black woman a job then she doesn't need her man anymore? I have never heard a white woman sing an "independent" song just dumb media following niggers.

[MizzYungMacMar]

This generation is full of young dumb sluts..I wish all of em could watch this

[gabrielusa911]

snoop videos = ugly dude, hot chicks

this = ugly chick, good looking guys rofl

[xGOSSIPGIRL95]

@gabrielusa911 ugly? Salt-N-Pepa aren't ugly. Salt is very pretty. She turned 47 this year and she looks better than you will ever look.

[QUEENKIM4EVER]

@xGOSSIPGIRL95

LOL..Salt is 45...But i get what you're saying! LOL

[xGOSSIPGIRL95]

@QUEENKIM4EVER Oh oops! lol.. she still has aged very well haha.

[07foxmulder]

yup, women are independent... as long as they're getting their monthly support

[ace351man]

just another pair of chicks thinking there better then men, they are way off.......................

[janejanejane7]

@ace351man

They didn't say they were better.......... The song is all about spreading the message that a woman can do the same jobs as a man, and can financially support herself.......that doesn't make her "better", it makes her a person who is acting out of her own free will.

Any one of us SHOULD be allowed to succeed in whatever they do, even if they didn't happen to be born with a dick!

[sslim29205]

@janejanejane7 Where in this song do they compare how men and women do jobs? They said they have the money so they don't need men. Of course they never mention who does the hiring for those great jobs they have.

[janejanejane7]

@sslim29205

S n P support women paying their own rent, and basically not needing to rely on a man for financial support. The more jobs that both men AND women are allowed to have, the more independent every woman will be.

There, I spelled it out for you :)

[Mortadelo658]

@realbizzybonefangirl

Yes, they are

[TONETONE69]

Yes Sybil is in the house with S n P. They should of had her standing in the background instead of Spin who served no purpose in this video.

[xGOSSIPGIRL95]

love Salt!

[Mortadelo658]

@xGOSSIPGIRL95

Me too

[janejanejane7]

Its very ,very refreshing to see men with great bodies wearing next to nothin next to fully dressed women. :) :) :)

salt n pepa, i fucking love you.

[bacardi123]

SOUNDS LIKE SYBIL SINGIN IN THE BACKGROUND

[ScienceProjek]

@bacardi123 it is...

[MzBaldwin75]

@bacardi123 It sure does sound like her

[jwh1999]

Vevo sucks!

[luhkelsgoinhard93]

hhuuuhhh, this shit take HEEEELLLAAASSS to load : |

[vera33w]

I think pepa was pregnant in this video- ah yeah I know that's right Staceyadamz this was good music back in the day Salt and Pepa they deserved that hip hop honor this week.

[nwobr]

@vera33w yup i agree there will never be music like diz agin love da 70s 80s 90s and am 18 and i agree all da way that use to be a time were people use to could party

[TheStaceyAdamz]

This was my mother's JAM!!! and it still rings true to this day!!

[darkgreenranger]

Readying for the 2000s? Oh damn, recession. Got the money to be independent still?

[Anonpeace]

Hahaha! Love the role reversal at 1:18!

[essancemylove]

Love it!

[tutoriales3minutos]

this VEVO shit takes lonnnnger to load, fucking ads. (aids)

[SewingVideos]

Pepa's family sure is Independent minded. One of her cousins on her father's side is a high ranking female officer in the US army. Her family is very ambitious.

[diamondlife]

@SewingVideos

Has her cousin built a company from the ground up and has employed herself? No!! Yes she is independent.....of a singular black man, but she is still DEPENDENT a male construct ....UNCLE SAM! The military is simply another government job.

[mainforce88]

TELL EM

[miguelfukt]

i like the remix better!

[JazzmenDane]

SHE WAS PREGNANT LOL

[myhoneyjudah]

I love This! Hell yeah, us women RULE!

[nickelwindow53]

pepa looks so fat on this video

[shortie140]

@nickelwindow53 she was proly preggers

[bossy900]

@nickelwindow53 she had just given birth 

[blksophisticado1]

@nickelwindow53

yup she was preganant in this video or had just had her baby.

[india305]

WHAT THE REASON FOR VEVO EXISTENCE?

[runrockwater]

nice to see men as sex objects for a change 

[myhoneyjudah]

@runrockwater That's right!

[youwishyoucould123]

@runrockwater i agree... maybe thats why salt-npepa videos where so nice to watch... it was like completly switched... 

[jocelion1]

sexy

[wildpink2]

love it love it love it thats all i can say INDEPENDANT

[IGoTheHardist]

independent is wut i am punks

[aynota]

I loooooved this song, and i wanted to wear salt's white outfit so bad but i was too young and oh yeah, i did not have the body to do so!!! lol!

[SnapeAngel]

I love the hiding the dimond necklace in her bra then digging it out lol!

[cooliegee]

What woman in their right mind wants a man who wears a "dress"? Can women be succesful and not try and change the natural order of "males" & "females".

[SnapeAngel]

@cooliegee I think it was over the top on purpose...it should be a partnership, neither should be valued higher than the other, sadly many men think that if they are in a relationship with a woman he owns her -- guess again buddy!

[jnl30]

This was so empowering 4 me as a little girl! And light years b4 Boosie and Webbie's BS! Love to all my independent ladies!

[talkytalky1142]

They shouldve gone to da womens empowerment....!*

[daBlingenette]

i dont exactly know if i like the song, its not that i am not for independence for woman, cos i am 100%, just it seems a little too hardcore, i ware the pants n u wear the dress? hmm

cos i reckon it should be shared in a relationship, both should wear the pants and both should wear the dress, not just one party, cos that just sounds hypocritical..

[Moniqtee]

@daBlingenette

she is saying that the dude she was dating was basically acting like a PUNK and she was wearing the pants.. Not that she "wears the pants." Either way, we really have no idea of what women are meant to be because women have never been able to simply be who they ARE. Women *were* always told how and what to be. Now all of that is slowly changing and I think for the better.

[TheAyanamiRei]

Yet another great song about empowering women and not taking shit from guys! I wish more singers these days would produce songs like this!

[Peaceandpopples]

@TheAyanamiRei Ain't nothin' but a She Thang!

[metaclip]

This single came out in late 1990. Sybil sings the hook. She had scored big R&B hits with her back-to-back remakes of Dionne Warwick's "Don't Make Me Over" in Fall 1989 and "Walk on By" in early '90.

Salt-N-Pepa were featured on her next single, "Crazy 4 U," a modest hit a few months later. They were her labelmates on Next Plateau.

[clairelebowski]

WOMEN RULES!!! (at last!!!....)

[snapcrackleandpop3]
