Their main gimmick was their wearing their clothes backwards.

Kriss Kross influences the fashion of teens across America in the early 90s. If you need prof look at any of the the Mickey Mouse club shows during the 90s. If being the youngest duo platinum recorded artists isn't enough, that should cover it.

Kris Kross absolutely should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they actually opened the doors for many acts and inspired a generation of artists, just look at the tributes when Chris Kelly passed away all the artists in the music industry that were inspired by Kris Kross.

They are the youngest platinum duo with their debut album which went 4x platinum in the US, their second album Da Bomb also went platinum and their third album Young, Rich and Dangerous went gold.

They were very talented, Snoop Dogg worked with them on their Da Bomb album on a track called "3-2-1", they enhanced Sprite's sales massively when they did the Sprite commercial for them, their beat for "Da Streets Ain't Right" was one of the biggest beats in the chopped and screwed scene which pioneer DJ Screw sampled and even artists like Tupac, Dre and Eminem have all referenced and praised Kris Kross for what they achieved.

Look up a video called "10 Things You Thought You Knew, But Didn't" on YouTube by J.Certified and you will see.

So yes, 100% Kris Kross should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they were much more than Jump and were paramount in inspiring many acts we see today.

This one made me chuckle. I think we all know who they were. They were relevant for 15 minutes back in the early 90's. Memorable, but certainly not HOF worthy
