And they just got back together too :( Half of "Kriss Kross" dead of apparent overdose

[ThermoNukePanda]

Rapper Chris Kelly, the "Mac Daddy" to to Chris Smith's "Daddy Mac", was pronounced dead yesterday evening from an apparent drug overdose.  He was 34 years old.  Kriss Kross was a early 90's duo famous for wearing the clothes backwards.

 

They reunited earlier this year to perform and it's kind of sad because when I was younger (I was like 12 when "Jump" came out) I totally remember jamming out to their music.  My brothers and sisters even used to tease me by singing "Warm it up" and I would just respond "I'm about to!" 

 

Sad that drugs takes another young life.

I don't think they got back together. I think they just did a show for Jermaine Dupri's label's anniversary.

They did do the show, but there was discussion of a reunion afterwards.  :/

How did he even get the money for drugs?

[PeeKnuckle]

All those VH1 royalty checks I'm assuming.

Apparently he overdosed on a heroin + cocaine binge.  :/

Ah, the good ol' speedball. Check the casualties.

Poor Mitch Hedberg.  :/  Sad to see him on that list too.
