+mitcheltheman13 They're not one-hit wonders. They have legendary songs and was an overly popular duo in the 90s. The will forever be hip-hop legends. Everyone knows the name Kriss-Kross. The majority of today's artist will be forgotten in about 10years.
+mitcheltheman13 You're so disrespectful. They broke records and reshaped fashion trends in hip hop. You could've atleast wiki'ed them if you don't know anything about them.
I love right around 2 minutes in like 48 seconds he says he hopes that the legacy that Kris Kross has left behind will never be forgotten. that's not even the question for they have left a mark in hip hop history for life. they will always be the greatest teenage act Ever in hip hop history. Once you accomplished that status you become immortalize. RIP Chris Kelly.
That hurt my heart… First time I ever saw that… Me and my best friend grew up imitating these 2 as kids… We dressed like them, we wanted to rap like them, we wanted to be them!! They were our idols and our inspiration!! So when Chris Kelly passed, we felt it! And hearing Chris Smith just talk about him in that vulnerable tone, I felt it!! Rest Peacefully to a true icon!!! #MacDaddy4Ever
I grew up listening to Kris Kross. I remember when their first album came out. I was 9 years old. 1992. I took a photo of myself wearing my clothes backwards. I even wrote the guys a letter and was a member of the Kris Kross Fan Club. The card I was mailed said "This certifies that you're Totally Krossed out and Real." I miss Chris Smith's voice. I miss Chris Kelly's voice. I miss their music. Their legacy will never be forgotten. Lives on. Rest in peace.
The second i heard their first song i fell in love and bought every magazine they were in and every album... Still to this day I love them and this was heartbreaking to watch...They were both freaking amazing talents and will be remembered forever
Man, stay strong. I know it's got to be hard form him. All those years performing and hanging out together. These two were badass back in the day. Super talented.
These young artist and young people overall should take a lesson from this story. Chris Kelly was a very talented artist on top of the world. He made it! The world loved him. His decision to start using cost him everything he worked for including his very life. Such an all too familiar story. So sad indeed. R.I.P.
its 2015 its crazy how times fly its bout to be almost 2 years since you been gone Chris. I'm still in shock that your gone, you played a big part in my child hood growing up.im glad that you and Chris got to rock the mic one more time before you had left put just wanted to say this the kriss kross Legacy will always live on. to all kriss kross fans its crazy how if you go back to Michael Jackson jam video in watch it to see that MJ not here no more Heavy D and Chris who was also was in the video blew my mind away
I have no idea how I ended up here. But Kriss Kross was my first concert and I wore their T-shirt til it was faded. The tear just flowed uncontrollably, this was so sad.
Jump was the song that got all the kids back in my childhood days on the dance floor. At a young age, kids were too shy to get up and dance but once "Jump Jump" came on. We all got up and jumped up and down and that's how the party started. R.I.P Kris. Thank you for being part of my childhood
I loved their music back in the 90's and I love them now. The song "Jump" and yhe fashion shown in the video was amd still is amazing. I wanted to dress up like them all the time, esp with my clothes in reverse. RIP Mack Daddy. You're now in peace.
Trust me that death is hard to get over cause i love kris kross. I still remember buying their first album when i was like 9 years old. We have lost so many great artist over the past years, but only god knows when our life chapter comes to an end.
Thank you for posting - never forgotten!!! 26 years later i am still dancing to their music, same as when i was a kid trying to learn the moves they did in jump - RIP!!
I think their first record Jump was my first intro in Hip Hop as a young boy, you know, the tune you would play over and over, learning the lyrics to and learning some dance moves. Thanks for the memories Kriss Kross. RIP Chris Kelly. Sadly I only just found out.
My love & warm condolences to Chris Kelly's Mother & his entire family & friends. Remembering your son tonite & praying you know your son's legacy is etched in history as well as the hearts of so many of us 80's babies. R.I.P. Chris Kelly, gone but never forgotten!
RIP Chris Kelly. Kris Kross was the group that made me love rap when I was 7 or 8 years old. I remember walking around the neighborhood with my Walkman bumping Jump over and over all day. I thought I was the coolest kid on the block while I was bumping I Missed the Bus. Because of Kris Kross I found Dr. Dre and Snoop. From there it snowballed. I’m grateful to have found their music because it was the beginning of a long love affair with rap music that has yet to die. Probably never will. I ended up buying their other two albums because I loved Totally Krossed out so much. Thanks for the memories, the music, and the awakening. I really hope that I get to meet you when I get to heaven. Rest peacefully brother.
I'm quite sure that Chris was like the brother that he'd never had. This is why we must learn to cherish our friends, "especially!" Our true friends and you'll know a real friend from a fake one, because a real friend will be with you through the good times and the bad ones. So RIP Chris you'll be missed.
Your legacy will always be remembered. I’m always rapping your songs to my family and friends and we always have a ball. May you have peace in your hearts.
He so he has always been sparing with his words, but in the end detonated emotions:). Respect for him, it is a real guy with steel eggs, because only so they are crying how a situation requires. Rest in Peace.Amen.
found out in dec 2021 one of them died way earlier... this right after I sought and listened to jump again after many many years... those two boys had me in my teens and all of us rocking to that song like for real that truly is hiphop and music history they wrote rip Mac
I was one who love kris Kelly i used to play with my friends and say he was my man and kris smith was her man but now i still say i love u you well always be my man rip
RIP Kriss Kross still love y'all and still listen to your music we all love you family friends sorry for your lose y'all stay strong much Love and respect
This was very hard to watch. I wasn't a super fan or anything, but death and seeing the pain that others feel as a result of it cuts me deeply. RIP Chris Kelly
R.I.P Cousin Chris Kelly i love you big cousin see you in heaven when i get there when its my time to come up there with the lord n you I love you big cousin R.I.P Chris"Mack Daddy" Smith
This is so heartbreaking! I remember I was in 8th grade when they first came out with "Jump Jump". I had a crush on Daddy Mac, the guy giving the speech in this video. However, Mac Daddy will definitely be missed.
It's so sad to see him go I remember when they first came out. I heard it on bet and a video came on BET and I loved they're songs and music and like you said Kriss Kross live on but it's never going to be the same just like I lost my mom she's going to be gone 3 year now Father's day of this year ever since she been gone ain't nothing been the same my family have not been the same since she been gone we all not close anymore we all don't talk like we used to we don't even see each other anymore unless we run into each other at the stores are the grocery store or a gas station I am telling you man when a loved one died and you are closer to that person nothing is not going to be the same anymore😂😂😂❤❤😍🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌸🌸💐💐💐🕊🕊🕊
It's 2020 y'all and it's been 7 years ago since he's gone.
Rip Chris (Mac Daddy)
*1978 - 2013*
Kriss Kross are forever legends. They will never be forgotten.
Same goes to (The King of Pop) Michael Jackson!
LifeIsNotorious Not trying to instigate an altercation, but they're one-hit wonders. How are they legends?
+mitcheltheman13 They're not one-hit wonders. They have legendary songs and was an overly popular duo in the 90s. The will forever be hip-hop legends. Everyone knows the name Kriss-Kross. The majority of today's artist will be forgotten in about 10years.
Segun Olorunyomi Of course!

This brought tears to my eyes smh.. Kris Kross will always be remembered. RIP Chris Kelly.

Losing your childhood friend is an horrible thing.
so sad. He tried so hard not to break down
It's always so......sad to see a grown man cry. Like boo hop cryin.
I hate when people only know them for the rap song "Jump Jump". They had so many classics.
"I miss the bus" for example.
Alright! Tonight is the night
Warm It Up
It's A Shame
But isn't that the purpose of a good song
Real sad, dude had to bury his tag team partner. WTF man, life just ends so quickly.
I love right around 2 minutes in like 48 seconds he says he hopes that the legacy that Kris Kross has left behind will never be forgotten. that's not even the question for they have left a mark in hip hop history for life. they will always be the greatest teenage act Ever in hip hop history.
