OT: RIP Chris Kelly (Kris Kross)
Really sad. Chris Kelly, half of rap duo Kriss Kross, is dead at age 34.
Just too young. He's only a few years older than me, and most in my age group, I'm sure, have very fond memories of their music from childhood.
RIP.

That's wiggity wiggity wiggity wack.
I'm a terrible person...
Well, I guess he's no longer a young lovable huggable type of guy...
Seriously though, I bet he had more fun in his 34 years than most people do in a 75+ year lifetime, so it's tough to feel bad.
Some of them try to post but they can't post like this

If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have memories of walking up Christmas morning, opening up a new tape and putting my jeans on backwards. And it was awesome.
You wrote tape! What is that? I am too young to know of such a thing.
Also, I have no way of knowing that a #2 pencil was the best way to wind a tape after removing it from a player that tried to eat it because I am too young to have such knowledge.
I got a Cross Colors sweatshirt that was XXL so that I could be like them. I still say "warm it up, Chris" when I see my boss by the microwave at work. RIP
He's about to.
That's what he was born to do!
Oh man, I wish I could upvote the microwave comment 500 times. You got the full belly chuckle from my big belly. (Looking around for anyone in my office named Chris, Kris, or Cris...)
I remember my brother and I both wanting to wear our clothes backwards to school so we could be like Kriss Kross.
In honor of one half of Kriss Kross passing...ladies and gentlemen....I give you, Chris Cross.
that Chris Cross looks nothing like how he sounds in my mind.
More than Kriss Kross.
RIP
first Rose bowl win at the end of the 1980 season. I was a senior in High School in 80-81 and remember John Wrangler at QB, WR Anthony Carter and Butch Woolfolk at RB. Bo nearly went undefeated this season. A close loss on the road against ND and a slight upset at home against SC. A few key plays could of won both games!
I missed the bus, ugh. I missed the bus. And it's something that I'll never ever ever do again.
takes me back to being 10 years old. That's the one song I remember from that album besides jump.
They brought Sprite to another generation.
Being 29 I remember being that cassette tape in 92.. Damn shame
RIP Mac daddy
sounds like a drug OD per CNN
I have a friend in the music industry and he told me a few years ago he came across Kriss Kross and they were in rough shape. It's sad that young entertainers are almost doomed as soon as they find success. Money will kill you and if it doesn't, the drugs will.
I used to love Kris Kross back in the day. The daddy mac will make ya, Jump! Jump!
Whack
Missed Be #KrissKross
Kid of the nineties.... Good Beats
I loved them back in the day, that's such a shame. I used to rock out my backwards jersey and sing "Jump" all the time back in junior high (I'm the same age as Chris). Good memories, but sad to hear.
If someone said they didn't like jump, or even ice ice baby at the time...
But to actually wear your clothes backwards?! That's a paddlin' - Probably should not admit that.
not as much as paddlin' the school canoe.
may their music also RIP.
Awhile back, someone's post about Lil Wayne being hospitalized and near death was deleted, but this stands? Don't get me wrong, I think this is a perfectly fine OT post and have no issue with it. My issue is with the inconsistency of moderating. Your thoughts? Is Kris Kris's more relevant than Weezy?
Was it in the fall, during the season? If so that's why. This one wouldn't have stood then either, but it's ok now.
...his pants are, in fact, on the correct way.
Maybe a little walk down memory lane tonight. Another throwback memory: I think I got it from Columbia house or BMG - one of those CD clubs where you sent in a penny and got to pick 8 CDs if you bought more at full price later. Great way to stock up on things like DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, MC Hammer and Paula Abdul (for my sister!!!).
Whenever I moved as a youth I'd straight up gank those companies. Back then (90's) all they had was a check box that made you verify that you were 18 or older. I moved a lot so starting around 12 I'd get all those free cd's for a penny and I'd move and never hear about it (used random names) or the one time they contacted me and thought they "had me". Until they found out I was 14 and they wrote an apology to me! haha. Is theft cool? No. Would I do it today? No. Yet, it was the perfect era when the internet and/or proof beyond word of faith was scarce. Must have gotten over 100 cds I moved so much and I still have many of them.
just did a silent "jump jump" in his honor
Jeff Hanneman just died :(
