Chris Kelly Laid To Rest In Atlanta

Kris Kross rapper Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly was given his final honors today (May 9) in an Atlanta service. Fellow Atlanta and So So Def stars Jermaine Dupri, Da Brat, members of Xscape and Kelly's Kris Kross partner Chris "Daddy Mac" Smith were all in attendance.

Smith gave a eulogy for his late partner and friend. As teenagers, the duo was among the biggest hip-hop acts of the early 1990s, and in honor of their famous backwards-clothing style, Da Brat and Dupri reportedly wore their pants backwards.

"I would say 'Kris Kross forever,' but without Chris, it ain't never gonna be the same," Smith said. "But I hope our legacy for hip-hop is never forgotten."

Luke Still Angry At Diddy & French Montana

Miami bass legend Luther "Uncle Luke" Campbell is still steaming over the fact that French Montana sampled his early 1990s hit "I Wanna Rock" for his hit track "Pop That." Despite not owning the rights to "I Wanna Rock," Luke says he was offended by the way Diddy handled the situation.

"Ok, let me tell you how it all went off. In the beginning Puffy told me to come to do a video shoot in Miami on Memorial Day last year," Luke said in an interview with Hot 97. "I asked, 'What video shoot, to what song?,' because I work with a lot of kids. They never told me the name of the song nor did they ever send me a copy of the song. So they were basically trying to set me up to be a part of a video shoot to a song that had me appearing on it. Second of all, these guys had press conferences - this stuff is all online - and this guy is sitting here saying, 'Hey I just did a song with Uncle Luke and all these other guys on the song.' So we're seeing this information online and seeing all the press conferences, and I'm thinking like, 'What song did I do with this guy? I really don't even know the guy.' So they did the video and that's why I didn't appear in the video, because I wasn't going to appear in anything I didn't hear or know anything about."
