The least subtle song of the 90s, both in lyrics and the trumpet.. or do you know less subtle ones?

Admit it, the song holds up. These two 12 year-olds are still better than 90% of the rappers then or since.

Kris Kross was the youngest hip-hop duo to gain success, with gold and platinum albums at 12 and 13 years old. The duo was discovered by Jermaine Dupri (19 years old at the time) in 1991 and hit worldwide status the following year with their smash hit debut single, "Jump", which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks and was certified double platinum as a single.

"Jump" was very successful on the charts all over the world and remains the duo's biggest hit. In Europe, the song reached number-one in Finland, Ireland and Switzerland, as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100. It peaked at number two in Denmark, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Additionally, the single entered the top 10 also in Austria (7), Belgium (3), France (5), Greece (6) and Italy (5). "Jump" ranked number 75 on "VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90's", and number two on their "Child Stars" Top 10 list. Billboard ranked it number 347 in their "500 Best Pop Songs of All Time".

There is another post for this song, however it is the remix. I prefer the original, so here it is 🙂

"Swing low In a dark glass hour You turn and cower See it turn to dust Move on a stone dark night We take to flight Snowfall turns to rust

Seam in a fusing mine Like a nursing rhyme Fat man starts to fall Here in a hostile place I hear your face start to call

And if you think That I've been losing my way That's because I'm slightly blinded And if you think That I don't make too much sense That's because I'm broken minded

Don't keep it... Inside If you believe it Don't keep it all inside

Strong words In a ganges sky I have to lie Shadows move in pairs

Ring out from a bruised postcard In the shooting yard Looking through the tears Out of a black slate time We move in line But never reach an end

Fall in a long stray town As the ice comes down River starts to bend

And if you think That I've been losing my way That's because I'm slightly blinded And if you think That I don't make too much sense That's because I'm broken minded

Don't keep it... Inside If you believe it Don't keep it all inside."

"So here come the 90s , the temperature is rising I cannot seem to loose the stains when I wash my hands One world is rising and one world is dying And one has got it's precious head buried in the sand... "

I recently got to see her live in concert 🤩 This is one of my favourites of hers from the 90s

"It's in your look there's no doubt I know exactly what it's all about It's not what you say I'm listening to like the air around us I can see straight through to your real intention what you really mean hidden in the silence in the space between you take advantage I'm not taking that I've made my move - it's a counter act

It's a cold limp hand in an open palm it's putting poison in the healing balm it's eyes that look all around the room when to whom you're talking's right in front of you the words you use never break the ice you take what's yours then another slice you take advantage I'm not taking that I've made my move - it's a counter act

Let's make it clear there's no time for placing curves on a smooth straight line the shades of grey only make a haze turn a simple path into a complex maze standing people up just to knock them down keeps the vicious circle turning round and round you take advantage I'm not taking that I've made my move - it's a counter act"
