In the O.S.A.M. corner this week is Chris ‘Mac Daddy’ Kelly from Kris Kross. He’s reminiscing about the Gentleman’s Club before it shut down and growing up on the southside. How bout I found out we both went to to same middle school (Bunche), although he was there quite a few years after me…

Continuing with our old school jam session this week, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and listen to a song below that clearly shows where Bow Wow stole his swag:

I caught up with Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly of Kris Kross this weekend at his sprawling Atlanta estate in South Fulton county. Kelly, who was recently photographed by a fan while chillin at Piedmont Park sought to dispel several internet rumors that he is broke and that he has Cancer or Lukemia. The answers in a nutshell? Yes…he still wears his pants backwards. Yes…he has bald spots. No…he doesn’t have Cancer or Leukemia. Yes…he has alopecia which has caused his hair loss…and NO…he’s not broke!

Check what Chris had to say below: (more…)

Just in time for flashback Friday, I spotted these pics of Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly over at Concrete Loop:

A CL Reader spotted former Kris Kross member Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly, 30, at Piedmont park in ATL earlier this week. The former 90s rap star, was just chilling and enjoying the atmosphere. He was still rocking his pants backwards like he did in the 90s. (UPDATED): According to various sources he has Alopecia Areata that’s why he is balding in certain areas.

As of 2007, the group supposedly reunited and are currently working on different projects with Jermaine Dupri. & word is he has his own label called C.co records. No word on what his former group member Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith is doing.

In case you don’t remember Kris Kross peep a few flashback joints below:
