One of the first albums to be released by an all-female rap group, Hot, Cool & Vicious is paced by its opening track, 'Push It,' one of the first rap songs to hit number one on the dance singles charts. Considering how little Salt-n-Pepa actually rap on 'Push It,' which is all about its instrumental hook, they maintain a surprisingly strong presence over most of Hot, Cool & Vicious. No, they aren't technical virtuosos on the mic, but their fairly basic raps are carried off with brash confidence and enthusiasm. Some of the other key tracks borrow ideas from outside sources: the single 'Tramp' is a rap remake of the Otis & Carla soul classic, and 'The Show Stopper' is an answer record to Doug E. Fresh's 'The Show.' The duo's sass comes across very well on 'My Mic Sounds Nice' and 'I'll Take Your Man,' and they're equally assertive on 'Chick on the Side.'

In the end, the album needs a little more weight to really come across well, but it's fun and danceable all the same. ~ Steve Huey.

The album carries more of that spare electro style (“Beauty and the Beat”) while also offering a nod to reggae on “I Desire” and collecting the group’s singles up to this point. Among these are “The Showstopper”’s goodnatured takeoff on Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick’s “The Show,” and the giddy boast “My Mic Sounds Nice” and “Tramp,” in which they pick up Carla Thomas’ gauntlet.

Hot stands as not only a key full-length in rap history, but also as deeply entertaining fun.
