  • Chris Kelly, half of the famous rap duo Kris Kross, which rose to fame when Kelly (The Mac Daddy) and Chris Smith (The Daddy Mac) were just kids, has died of an apparent drug overdose.

    Those of us at the right age to have been listening to Kris Kross in the early 90s when hits like “Jump,” “Warm it Up,” and “I Missed the Bus” were getting steady airplay, are taking some time to reflect on the joy Kris Kross once brought to our lives. That includes memories of backwards clothing, the legendary “Make My Video” for Sega CD, and of course, dope beats and rhymes.

    One of Kris Kross’ forgotten classics actually comes in the form of an ad for Sprite. After all this time, I have yet to see Sprite release a better commercial.
