Kris Kross was a 1990s hip-hop duo known for their hit “Jump” and their signature style of wearing their clothes backward. The group consisted of Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly (1978–2013) 🕊️ and Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith (born 1979)
They were discovered in 1991 by Jermaine Dupri, who signed them to his So So Def Records label when they were just kids. Their debut album, Totally Krossed Out (1992) went multi-platinum, thanks to their massive hit “Jump”, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks!

Kris Kross dropped two more albums, Da Bomb (1993) and Young, Rich & Dangerous (1996), but never quite matched their early success. Tragically, Chris Kelly passed away in 2013 due to a drug overdose. Chris Smith has kept a lower profile but still honors the group’s legacy.

Long before artists fought for ownership of their masters, Sam Cooke was already making history! In 1959, he founded Kags Music, securing the rights to his songs. Then in 1961, he launched SAR Records, becoming one of the first Black artists to own both a publishing company and a record label. This level of independence was unheard of at the time, and Cooke set the blueprint for generations of musicians to control their own legacies. A true pioneer! (The man who took the money has a family who still owns the rights til this day. Total blasphemy! And we believe he was murdered in that motel on Fig!)

“Crooklyn” (1994) is one of Spike Lee’s most outstanding productions. It embodies everything about Black filmmaking and storytelling and has a stellar soundtrack to support it. This film is a scarce coming-to-age movie about a young black girl, particularly during the summer. Few movies deal with that subject matter. Salute to Spike Lee for creating this all-time classic.

A Different World wasn’t just a TV show—it was a movement! 🌟 Spun off from The Cosby Show, this groundbreaking sitcom (1987–1993) took viewers on a journey through the lives of students at the fictional Hillman College, an HBCU (Historically Black College or University).

With its vibrant cast, including Lisa Bonet, Jasmine Guy, Kadeem Hardison, and later, icons like Jada Pinkett-Smith, the show tackled everything from relationships and self-discovery to racial issues, mental health, and activism. 🎓🖤

It wasn’t afraid to get real, discussing topics like the LA riots, HIV/AIDS, and gender equality, all while delivering laughs and life lessons. 🙌💬 And let’s not forget the unforgettable love story of Whitley Gilbert and Dwayne Wayne, complete with those iconic flip-up glasses! 👓❤️

More than just entertainment, A Different World inspired countless viewers to consider attending HBCUs and celebrated Black excellence in a way rarely seen on TV at the time.

Decades later, the show’s legacy endures as a beacon of empowerment, education, and cultural pride. 🌟📚
