It was their best work but Mobb Deep, Dogg Pound, Westside Connection, and Onyx were the prominent rap groups around this time. Atlanta still hadn't found it's own sound too. That's what happened.
Salute to you for doing this video. It means alot to true Kriss Kross fans💯. This album was/is fire. I was 11 when it came out and it aged very well. The only track i never liked was the last song tonight's the night remix. Outside of that i knew/know every word on this entire album. This album influenced me a whole lot as a 11 year old boy. Shot out to Kriss Kross🤙🏿💯#The90s Rest in peace Chris Kelly 🙏🏿😔🕊️🕊️🕊️.
This album was smooth 1996 was a rough year every album was rough but this one 1996 is in the top 10 best years of rap I would say it's in like the top 5 at this point but it's definitely in the top 10 best years of rap
Is that just black people or in general because I guarantee you the asians and other folks from Asia Australia and so forth would show em some love we have a long way to go as people if, folks did me like that I would make the music present it to my ignant niccas, one sign of disrespect I'm thwarting this market and be an overseas Kat.

"Hey Sexy" was and still is my shit! I discovered that joint in high school years after the album came out! With the summer right around the corner, please believe I'mma have that joint bumping in my 5.0 with the drop down (it's an '89 so you already know. Old school all day!) RIP Mac Daddy.
I believe that Kriss Kross were most likely having creative control issues working with Jermaine dupri because chris kelly no doubt wanted to do more writing for himself and his partner and no doubt wanted to work with other artists and producers and most producers take it as a slight if you want to do an album with other beats besides their's and I've experienced that personally so i think that made it to where the kriss kross knew they wanted to leave so they didn’t get the marketing and promotion they should've received. They should've at least had 4 singles and videos. They only had live and die for hip hop and tonight's the night as videos though. They definitely would've had better sales with at least a 2nd producer and more features but I'm sure dupri wanted all the writing credits and producer credits and money so they most likely didn’t have any say creatively.
I agree that this is their best album. Lack of promotion hurt it. They had a remix with Redman of Tonight's The Night. Which should've had a video. A definite lost opportunity. As far as the fans. I can't understand. Who were similar in age. Getting mad that they were growing up. Doing grown men things. They expected them to do Jump 2 and I Missed The Bus 2. At 17, 18? 🤦♂️. Another reason I believe hurt them was Da Bomb album. Too much of the G Funk sound and they're were trying to be little Snoop Doggs. Same with the Da Brats first album. I wish we'd gotten a chance to see the C connection album come to fruition. I imagine the songs are in JD's vault never to see the light of day.
My favorite Kris Kross album! I was ready for their breakout in 96! JD didn't believe in them because it didn't sell. Bad move in my humble opinion. They had so much potential. Could've been better than bow wow.
JD laced this album with 🔥. Me and my sister use to take turns listening to this album along with other albums that were out at the time. Should've had a follow up.
Classic album. Can play it straight thru. Maybe 1 or 2 songs can get skipped but they had 3-4 classic tracks Tonight’s the night 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Young rich & dangerous 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Live & die for hip hop 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Mackin ain’t easy🔥🔥🔥🔥 Some Cut Up 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good interview....but... I wanna know why they stopped after a GREAT album...it was like they disappeared off the planet for decades and then boom Chris Kelly dies.... Didnt know C Terry died until this interview.... But i wanna know why they stopped after that 3rd phenomenal album
Great video 💯👌🏾 but what do you mean "I wonder how JD got Kandy to do that" not only was she signed to the man but was also dating/fxcKin em and that's what caused division amongst the group Xscape
I'm sorry, I love KK, but, "Young, Rich and Dangerous" sucked‼️Face it, dey got lazy 'n' dey just didn't have da passion, dey once had... Plain 'n' simple
Well their was a fued. Between Kelly and Jermaine Dupri, cause they wanted more control over their careers ,Tbh I luv this album but I feel it didn't have enough promotion like it should have vs totally krossed out, also if they had more features,like 2pac, biggie,Wu Tang ,big pun , bone thugs jus to name a few, imagine what the album would have made, also Jermaine got much that never made it to this album
I see what you mean about having more features. I say only that to show where they got their influence/inspiration. They lifted a lot from the beginning.
@@bbqfetus-the_don_grilluminati Riding High by Fazo was the back sample,the part they are talking about is the resung Shalimar ending of the song (gonna make this a night to remember) whoever JD had singing,they resung it so it gets interpolation credit because they didn't replay the sample,they just resung it.
Man as a young adult the casette of this album was like glued into my walkman, Hey Sexy will always be one of my favorites OAT. EDIT: A casette was something like mp3 but you could touch them, kids.😉👴
TBF it still went 'Gold' certified, the second single was a bad choice should have gone with 'Streets Ain't Right' (and possibly the version featuring Da Brat) or "Money, Power and Fame (Three Thangs Thats Necessities)". I will always remember when I got my copy at a HMV store in Brent Cross, London after school one evening, it came only in a plastic sleeve as they had misplaced the case or it got stolen so was heavily discounted, I couldn't have given a shit as I still bought it.🥲

Exactly if you listen to early Atlanta hip hop their instrumentals had a West Coast sound
@@tragiksituation yes, especially Kris Kross. They loved that g funk sound!
OutKast had their own sound tho, that's how Atlanta really got put on the map along with Goodie Mob
Yeah... It was just bad timing for them.
Kris Kross music always sounded like somebody else music.. 92 it was Treach,Ice Cube...93-96 was Snoop n DPG
Tonight’s the night is a masterpiece 💯
who album is a masterpiece.
Just about to say something to that effect until I read this......100
@@87.9fmgrantvillenewsgradio2 💯
This album is a slept on classic we use to bump it in 96
Kris Kross fan for life!
This album was important because "Streets Ain't Right" became a Monster in Texas and added to the Chopped n Screwed music
it was important before all that knockin pictures off the wall june 27 shit. why you think they took the beat lmao

Mackin’ Aint Eazy is my fav track on the album and gets play til this day in my car… i love the g-funk
Life and die for hip hop great song classic
That album was pretty good. But in my opinion. When Kriss Kross got a lil older. I think a lot of people didn't take them serious as artists.
Is that just black people or in general because I guarantee you the asians and other folks from Asia Australia and so forth would show em some love we have a long way to go as people if, folks did me like that I would make the music present it to my ignant niccas, one sign of disrespect I'm thwarting this market and be an overseas Kat.
nah...that era, there was so much droppin every week or so where everything piled on. BEST era for rap/hiphop in general.
@@bbqfetus-the_don_grilluminati I agree. That's a very good point. OutKast and Goodie Mob was slappin back than. It was tough competition.

I was looking forward to more of The C-Connection
Facts
Classic album. Can play it straight thru. Maybe 1 or 2 songs can get skipped but they had 3-4 classic tracks
Tonight’s the night 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Young rich & dangerous 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Live & die for hip hop 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mackin ain’t easy🔥🔥🔥🔥
Some Cut Up 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Extremely underrated album!
HELPED BRING ATL INTO THE MAINSTREAM... MIGOS OF THE 90's
Good stuff. Tonight's The Night is a Faze-O "Riding High" sample.
They must have got black balled because they literally disappeared after 1996
They were on dj nabs album
Man I’m tryna figure out what happen. The album was hard and sold well. Somebody gotta let me know.
Every song on this album could have been a single..it was that good
They should have had a video for some cut up. Or young rich and dangerous!!!
I'm glad somebody out here feel the same as I felt all these years. Nobody talk about this album.
I loved the direction they were going with becoming actual Macs/Playaz
The album was considered a flop. Most ppl were over Kris Kross at this time, especially when it was revealed JD wrote most of their songs.
It was a decent album in my opinion but I feel no one took them serious because people still looked at them as kid rappers
It's funny how people gloss over the fact that JD couldn't help Whodini get over, yet, they always say everyone he's made songs for became a hit.
Definitely my favorite album by them!
Good interview....but... I wanna know why they stopped after a GREAT album...it was like they disappeared off the planet for decades and then boom Chris Kelly dies.... Didnt know C Terry died until this interview.... But i wanna know why they stopped after that 3rd phenomenal album
i will do a video on the after math of their career and their 2001 unreleased album
Young rich and dangerous was one of the most underrated albums that I've heard back then . I love it and still listen to it to this day.
Always wondered what Chris Terry looked like. R.i.p Chris Terry 🙏🏿
Loved this album! The LL cool J sample song was 🔥. My only complaint they could’ve had more songs.
now who could it be pullin up in that brand new mercedes....!
I was a big k.k fan I even had the creator video game on the Sega CD 🤣🤣💯
This album bumps!
I had no clue Chris Terry passed away in 1999.. NOBODY covered that news.. shame. RIP.
They recorded unreleased music as the "C-Connection" as well, somewhere between that 96-99 period.
*DANCE..........THIZZ DANCE!!!!!!!*
Please do an album review on south circle and Mr mike
Most definitely I got ya
Listen to SC the other day,the song Attitude sample from Barkays
Attitude is a banger
Some cut ups was and still is bangin! Heavy rotation on this album still in 2024
One of my best albums
Tupac alone would have made it triple platinum
Well he didn’t nigga…stop being a hater
Great video 💯👌🏾 but what do you mean "I wonder how JD got Kandy to do that" not only was she signed to the man but was also dating/fxcKin em and that's what caused division amongst the group Xscape
