How GG Townson shooped in as Salt in Lifetime’s ‘Salt-N-Pepa’ biopic
Lifetime’s “Salt-N-Pepa” biopic, which premieres Saturday at 8 p.m., GG Townson flubbed the flow to the groundbreaking group’s 1993 hit “Shoop.”“We had to prepare a rap for the initial audition,” says Townson, 30. “Because I was familiar with ‘Shoop,’ I was like, ‘Oh yeah, I can get it!’ But being in the room, my brain was like, ‘Nope, you don’t remember the words.’ I thought that there was no way that they were gonna call me back.”But since transforming into Cheryl “Salt” James, Townson has upped her “Shoop” game.
