Kris Kross star Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly has died at the age of 34.

...

Kelly and his bandmate Chris 'Daddy Mac' Smith were discovered in 1990 by Jermaine Dupri and the duo went on to release three studio albums.

As the age of 34 and the year of 1990 indicate, Kris Kross was a child novelty act - two pre-teen kids lip-syncing and wearing backward baseball caps back in the days when MTV still played music videos. Their fan base consisted of little girls and their mothers, and they lost interest as soon as the two boys became old enough to shave. Kris Kross had about as much to do with real rap as Donnie Osmond does with real rock and roll.

Bit that won’t stop some Freepers from acting like Grade A jerks.
