As much credit people like to give Arrested Development and OutKast for putting ATL on the map, Kris Kross should be given equal credit for putting the ATL on the map as well.

RIP Chris "Miggidddy Mack Daddy" Kelly

"I missed the bus!" <----- I didn't even know what artist sang that song. I just would chant the line and dance/jump while my mom cussed me out for missing the bus and for requiring a ride to school.

I had a minor crush on them around '87 or '88. Stole looooong glance at their photos in an aunt's teen mags. Wanted to wear colorful backwards gear and African medallions.

:bryan: at JD being almost the same height.

In all seriousness, I was sad to hear this man. I had a big crush on him when I was 9 :noah:

They had lil' girls like me going NUTS. When "Tonights the Night" dropped I was 13 and like :leon: Shame he had demons to fight. I knew something was up when he was still wearing his pants backwards.

RIP.

I said it for years, young rich and dangerous is one of the most slept on albums, JD had the live instrumentation beats on deck on that album. Rip to the M-A-C.

yall know whats even crazier about their careers?

the fact that there were no shows like 106th & park to enhance their careers. 106th basically carried most of those scream tour niccas, and still kriss kross was twice as big as all of em. now imagine if there was a 106th & park-type show back in the day for them to eat off of. even their moderate hits like "the bomb" wouldve been retired from the countdown at #1 .

arrested development doesn get their credit either. gotta throw ABC in the mix as well. they were from atlanta too.

the problem is, most things that pre-date '93/94 tend to be ignored. especially on this board. people on this board absolutely refuse to acknowledge any of those cats. half of them never even heard of arrested development, which is amazing.

Yup. Yeah. You're right.

My pop cultural memories from that era are vague. I lacked exposure before 1993. Sheltered home, etc... And now I feel defensive. :guilty: *dials up therapist*

Don't try and compare us to Another Bad lil fad.:lawd:

:wow: the ether.
"Cuz inside out is wickity wickity wickity wack"

Is that the most famous subliminal diss of all time? Nobody remembers that ABC was wearing their clothes inside out...
