In this clip, J.J. Fad group members Sassy C, MC J.B., and Baby D opened up about running into Salt-N-Pepa after dissing them on "Anotha Ho," and being "snubbed." MC J.B. explained that they later made up, and they went on to speak about how they signed to Eazy-E's Ruthless Records, which he formed with Jerry Heller. The three women admitted that they were skeptical about leaving their original label for Ruthless, which Eazy-E started when he was still in the streets, and Baby D spoke about how Dream Team label head Rudy Pardee coached them into signing to Ruthless.
J.J. Fad went on to detail working with Dr. Dre in the studio to remake "Supersonic" as an A-Side single, and they laughed while recalling Dre being a "drill sergeant" in the studio. However, their hard work in the studio paid off, and the re-released "Supersonic" climbed up the charts to the #1 spot and eventually went platinum. The women also addressed losing the first-ever rap Grammy to DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince for "Parents Just Don't Understand," which you can hear more about above.
