We Should All Wear Our Clothes Backward Today in His Memory

The world today is mourning the passing of Chris Kelly, one half (the darker skinned guy) of the legendary early 90s rap group Kriss Kross. He was the Mac Daddy to Chris Smith's Daddy Mac.



Kelly was only 34. He was discovered in his home. Cause of death is unknown but it could be drug related.

The first time I ever heard "Jump" I was at a Knicks game with the Concierge. Neither of us knew what they were saying, he thought it was "joe! joe!"

But we soon learned as the power of Kriss Kross swept the nation. A power that will never die, it will live on in the hearts and minds of a generation.

Warm it up, Chris.



Dying so young is certainly, wiggity, wiggity, wiggity whack.
