FAITH EVANS & PEPA ON THE MEMOIR CIRCUIT
Sandy "Pepa" Denton and Faith Evans both have must-read coffee table worthy/hair salon chatter novels out.
Pepa from the female hip-hop group Salt-N-Pepa teamed up with Karen Hunter in her juicy book, "Let's Talk About Pep: The Salt-N-Pepa Superstar Tells It How Is." The book touched upon her days in the group, her marriage to Treach, her crush on LL Cool J, her nose job, and raising her children. So why tell all NOW despites a successful VH1 reality show? Well, "Essence" magazine got Pepa to explain...
Faith revealed her inner thoughts to Aliya King on Biggie, Tupac, Biggie's not-so-secret girlfriends, and her children. Faith's book, "Keep The Faith" already caught the attention of many urban blogs during my brief blog hiatus. Check out the tidbits Miss Info pulled from Faith's book...
By now you know all the hoopla but can we focus on the Elizabeth & James feather fringe jacket Pepa has on? Doesn't it look like the very one Vanessa Simmons, LaLa Vasquez, and Rihanna famously wore before?
For $765 is this look really worth all the style hoopla??? So I ask which novel has YOUR attention?

You know, it’s funny, because industry people know they always looked at me a certain way, and at one point you start to believe all the hype and convince yourself that you are what people think you are. For years, I thought nothing was wrong with me. I played the part but I’m not practicing what I preach, I’m talking the talk but not walking the walk. So my biggest apprehension is having my family find out all these things, because they don’t know half of the things I went through. I love my mom and she’s very supportive, but I haven’t seen my mom read a book, but she wants to read mine. [READ MORE AT ESSENCE.COM]

If I had to choose, I'd choose Faith's memoir. IMO, it comes a day late, and a dollar short.
