ha poor lil dude i hope he figures it all out

is that one of those hot cheetos and takis kids?

ha was wondering same

playing webster hall tonight with Just Blaze and DJ Soul

every generation gets the Kriss Kross it deserves apparently

ouch

was that supposed to be a diss

do you like kriss kross lex

of course

i mean not that i ever heard any of their other songs

just like jump or deep cuts too ha xp

not entirely a diss, I mean they had some good singles but were also obviously gimmicky w a short shelf life and omg cuet etc

whoah I had no idea Mac Daddy died last year :(

Does 'I Missed the Bus' count as a deep cut?

pretty sure I still remember 2/3 of the lyrics to the first kriss kross album :o

2/3rds of the lyrics are iggidy tbf

true

shit lex you haven't heard "i missed the bus"?? classic

this is off a later album 2nd or maybe 3rd but anyway they did g-funk warren g vibe pretty good w/redman too!

SJ: Patrón and orange juice. Every meal I eat I be like, "Can I get some orange juice?"
SL: Especially breakfast, man. Pulp is the best, for the record. You get to chew the little pieces.
SJ: I just swallow that shit.

this is pretty great too, w/brat & aaliyah

Picking up a dollar copy of this CD is going to be my highest priority this week

The Kris Kross CD I mean. Those tracks kind of remind me of Black Sheep's Nonfiction

kris kross were dope smh

Rae Sremmurd is more like Young and Restless imo

Bars on a Cadillac Brougham!

Seriously, its such a better metaphor than the basic bitch KRIS HAHA REMEMBER ALL THAT WHATEVER HAPPENED TO LORI BETH DENBERG AMIRITE KROSS metaphor since Young and Restless were like sing-song melodies on top of the hardest Southern music at the time but w/e

I guess Kris Kross were actually famous, so I take back my snark

I'm in a pissy, spiteful mood today, ILX and I'm sorry I took it out on you

not really a metaphor but ok

xp

sing-song melodies on top of the hardest Southern music

there are maybe a couple other basic surface similarities you're overlooking that don't have anything to do with the music

xpost hope you feel better whiney :)

anyway now i've got "b stands for broncos bass BMW beat bangles and a pair of bars" in my head all day

feelin this later period kriss kross

hahaha clickhole in the same lori beth denberg internet funk as me today apparantly

Weirdly, Kriss Kross' most enduring piece of influence is that they did the source of "June 27th"!

the all-white look is pretty dope on that album cover

they did the source of "June 27th"!

via detour through a Texas classic!!

or shit maybe June 27 is just the Kriss Kross!! anyway Knocking Pictures off the wall is classic

These guys are super charming and endearing even when they're being kind of gross and they really know their way around a great vocal hook, so it's a shame they're anchored to such boring beats because I find this album a massive slog even though I basically approve of them.

"June 27" predates "Knocking Pictures Off the Wall" by several years.

naw, the beats on this album are A+

i don't get how these detail-packed beats are boring

spare me the details

I only listened to the two tracks linked to the pfork review but they sounded pretty spare to me. "No Type" is basically just the piano at the beginning and then autotuned/reverbed-vocal + snare/claps.

also lol at the terrible last line of that review btw

echoing piano, the stuttering bass, the piano bit really only hits on chorus

the initial bit, that is

the beats are cool, it sounds really nice and pro altogether from a production standpoint imo

I watched a bit of an interview they did with Peter Rosenberg on Youtube because I was curious about what Swae Lee's speaking voice sounded like. Early on he told them people have been calling the the 2015 Kriss Kross and asked how they felt about it. Not only did they seem to take it as a compliment, they kinda seemed like they didn't see how it wouldn't be a compliment. I thought that was cool.
