Kris Kross: Where are They Now?

June 21, 2009

Every time I miss the bus I think about Kris Kross and what those guys are up to these days.

Today I did a little research on the topic to satisfy my curiosity.

Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly (the normal looking one) is apparently this real soft-spoken dude, who is trying to make his alopecia work for him as a fashion statement. I don’t think this will catch on like the reversed jeans did though.

It’s hard to understand anything dude says but did he say he manages an artist named Mussolini? Speak up dude! Even the fly young honey standing right next to him seems to be struggling to hear what Kelly is saying. Otherwise she just wears a permanent squint, which is also possible.

Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith also remains in the industry today, though he is now better known as Elliott Wilson of ego trip, XXL, and now Rap Radar.

I have always seen Elliot Wilson’s name popping up all over the place, esp at XXL for years, now of course the Nahright ripoff Rapradar, and always thought he was a tool. (A successful tool).

Shame on me as a hip-hop fan for having no idea that he was the guy who made all of us wear our clothes backwards to elementary school.

Get your facts straight….Chris Smith is not Elliott Wilson, the former editor and chief of XXL for like a decade. They are completely different people, they’re both light skinned and that’s it. They don’t even favor. Elliott is about 40 yrs old!

Somewhere after 1995, they stopped teaching comprehension in publics schools…and with the advent of the Internet, ANYONE can now call themselves a “journalist”. Chris was very coherent and understandable in his interview. The writer of this piece failed miserably to denegrate this young man. Try again…….

What do you mean speak up? It’s not his fault. What a lousy camera! Anyone with a cell phone camera thinks they are a movie producer now. Dude, get a mic!
