this performance makes my heart melt. it's kind of sad to watch because it was their last time on stage together a couple of months before Chris Kelly passed. Rest Easy Chris Kelly
Kelly had mad stage presence & energy here. You could see the joy all over him. I was hoping this would spark a comeback. Kris Kross helped contribute to the soundtrack of some of the happiest times in my life. R.I.P. Mac Daddy.
It was probably the worst thing to have happened, because they were such a huge deal back when they were small kids, being on stage with Michael Jackson, and hanging out with Michael Jordan, then time came for them to grow up, and of course kelly wanted more from fame, it was just too much pressure for him, to deal with the after effects of childhood fame, which is why drugs became his escape route, so giving him a taste of that old limelight was enough for him to go home, get super high, after realizing that he was never gonna be as big as he was during his childhood stardom, the light skin chris adapt to his new life easier, because he probably had better mentors around him.
I will never forget... my first concert ever was seeing Kris Kross while visiting my family in the south. Love them FOREVER! May you rest peacefully Mac Daddy.
You can tell they each sincerely truly missed and loved each other as brothas & partnas, they were looking at each other more than looking at the crowd, at 7:10 is where you really notice it, I get choked up & teary eyed. I basically grew up with KK, we're the same ages, I'm a Decatur OG, my childhood was their childhood.
The dopest thing about this group is they never beefed. Never dissed each other or none of that fake shit. Still was able to come together and rock it 20 years later. This is what we call TIMELESS. I grew up with these cats and my sincerest condolences go out to Chris Kelly and his family. Rest In Power brother. Hip Hop forever
Chris Kelly went hard in this performance! So much energy and passion for his music. Still rocked the jeans backwards too. Sad loss, but definitely forever remembered. Double K's are legends now. Respect to Chris Smith for doing big things with his Art. Shout out to Urbane Muse
This makes me teary eyed. Even after all those years they still had that old school swag. Such a shame Mac daddy passed these two were such an incredible duo!
I was the biggest Kris Kross fan back in the day when I was a little girl. I still have all the Kris Kross posters, fan letters, casette tapes, etc. Saw them in concert. I went through a depression about two years ago, and listened to a lot of things that reminded me of my childhood to cheer me up. Kris Kross was at the top of that list. Any true 90s kid and Kris Kross fan lost a piece of their childhood when Chris Kelly passed away.
My homie Kelly's birthday is this Sunday, August 11th. He would have been 35. So as we his friends along his family as well as the Smith Family celebrate his life this weekend, I ask everyone to continue to pray for his mother and the rest of the Kelly, Pratte and Williams Family. Pray for my brother, Chris Smith as well. God bless all the KK fans and supporters!!!! LOVE LIVE THE MAC DADDY!!!!
I find it very odd that Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly shout outs the musicians who died (Biggie and Left Eye for example) before they perform the song they did with Da Brat and Jermaine Dupri. And then we hear on May 1, 2013, he passes away. That just goes to show you we all don't know how long we have to live on this earth. All we can do is live each and every day as if it was our last. I'm glad we were able to see Kris Kross reunite though. So much love to Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly for being the excellent superstar that he was and that he'll always be remembered for that. Rest in Peace.
I get goosebumps watching this, adore Kris Kross and man, don't half miss Chris Kelly!! Sending lots of love to all who are reading this right now!! ❤️🙏🏼
"OMG! I can't stomach this too well, with all due respect RIP Chris Kelly you will be greatly missed "Gone2Soon" MJJ loved them so much he had them performed on his 'Dangerous' world tour and special appearance video in 'Jam' also RIP MJJ both jamming in heaven now"
I was 15 when this song hit and I’m telling you it was an earthquake. We were all infatuated with this rhythm and it became the soundtrack of that year the soundtrack of our lives. We were all jumping to Kris Kross. Thank you guys, RIP MAC
Lord I use to have a bad crush on Chris Kelly😍😍😍😍. My heart skipped a beat when he passed away. So much talent gone to heaven. We will always love and remember you. Tell Aaliyah, Left Eye, Tupac, and Gearld Levert I said HI🖐🏾🖐🏾😘😘😘.
so nice to see this. they did an awesome job and the songs sound good even in their fully developed non-prepubescent voices. I hate that Chris Kelly had to leave so soon afterwards. I was so ready for a reunion tour and new music.
I Was kris kross biggest fan i had every Cd they made an all their T- shirts an every last poster all over my room In1992 when they first came to Pittsburgh an did a show i was in the front row going in RWG CHRIS KELLY
R.I.P, cutie-pie. This is a great last performance, his flow is off the chain. Daddy Mac needed a better mic or better projection with his voice. Overall, they still had it:)
He was outta breath yk when ur young u have more energy as they age they start to find it more hard that’s why chris Kelly didn’t do the other miggda midga macks
They were a great duo. I have great memories of this time in my life. Living in Cali in 1992, driving in cars with friends pumping this and baby got back... Good times in the prime of my life. RIP Kriss. You will be missed.
Mac Daddy definitely rocked this. His voice sounded awesome. I'm very saddened by this loss. Just why..Rest in Peace Chris, we'll always love you and cherish that time we all miss.
I attended elementary and middle school with both Chrises and known them for 25 plus years. I went to Daddy Mac's house yesterday afternoon. This is a hurtful loss to all of us. Chris Smith is just trying to build the strength to be able to attend the homegoing services this Thursday. It is hard for all of us right now. But on behalf of Kris Kross, I am here to answer the questions you may have as KK fans. Nothing too personal tho. I want to be respectful to them as well as their families. RIP
I'm a bit late to respond, but I wonder why they retired after "Young, Rich & Dangerous"? That was their best album. Did they not feel like making music anymore? Or did Jermaine Dupri not support them anymore?
Kris kross was my fav group and I remember how pumped I was to hear they were going to reunite for a show in atl. I live half way across the country from atl and something told me to go and I'm so glad I did. Makes it a special moment I will never forget.
I'm looking at Daddy Mac's pants and instantly remembered his line "...on the playground I say now you won't see me swingin, skin tight clothes and you don't be singin..."
My homie, Chris Smith, appreciates all the love you all are showing. I know Kelly's family as well. Thank you everyone for the love, support and keeping Kelly's memory alive. We all miss him dearly!!!!
RIP Chris Kelly aka Mac Daddy. Met you a few times here in ATL back in the day and you were always cool. It was just a little over two months ago you were performing the So So Def Anniversary. And you proved to the world that you still could rock it just as hard 20 years later! Your spirits lives forever.
This was sad to watch because it was their first performance in years and their last time on stage together before Kris Kelly died the next month. Rip Kris Kelly 💔
I have nothing but good memories. I miss the bus was the song one morning my step father was station in Japan. I got up bumping their CD i got for Christmas and I miss the bus was on repeat over and over again. My mom got up thinking I had school I am in the living room having a live concert like I was on stage lol She came out the room why you not at school you miss the bus. She thought I was celebrating I miss the bus for real. I was like no momma there is no school silly lady. This is the name of the song lol. My mom was hip she was still young I guess waking up out her sleep was alarming lol She still remembers that and laughs. I know you making the Angels Jump Jump in the heavens. R.I.H. Kris Kelly aka Mac Daddy. Much love and respect to his family members and close friends and JD for introducing the world to these young men we grew up with.
Seeing this video makes it that much special and yet so sad . RIP Chris Kelly, when Jump came out I was many pounds lighter in weight but I'm jumping in memory of you today. God Bless your family and all that loved you, I'm really sad to hear of your passing x
I miss these two dudes on the music scene. I would have loved to hear more music from them but sadly I know that can't be. Thank goodness for Spotify so I can hear their voices over and over again. RIP to Mack Daddy, Chris Kelly.
man I listened to them for so long when I was a kid. I still get goose bumps every time I listen to life and die for hip hop such a great reunion wish da brat perform in the song as well. RIP Chris Kelly
This was so energetic and beautiful. A young life gone too soon but I am glad they had this performance together before Kelly passed away. Nostalgic and so deep. Love it
I just watched a short documentary on Kriss Kross, then the video Chris Kelly made before he died, then the phone call to the radio show he was going to be on that morning but then they found him dead a few hours later. Then watched his funeral where other Chris gave a great speech and said right before they came out on stage for this he ran across the other side of the stage to tell him something like "let's kill it". Said he acted so happy to be performing again. Finally, I watched this. What? I got something in my eyes man! Shutup
Well, baby roll me a mic and let me smoke it til I'm high, if you ever see me rock than you know that I live and die for the things I do, slang I use, breakin down mics and destroying crews!!!
