90's Music

Childhood memories unlocked

Some of them try to rhyme but they can't rhyme like this

Lyrical genius.

They wore their clothes backwards. 90s kids: 🤯

Such a catchy song!

“Jump” is the hit debut single by the American Hip hop duo Kris Kross, released on February 6, 1992 – several weeks in advance of their debut studio album Totally Krossed Out. Producer Jermaine Dupri wrote the song after seeing people jumping at a concert he attended:

I watched the crowd. I watched how people were just into jumping … I went home and wrote the song in an hour.

The song had immediate success, with KKBT-FM program director and disc jockey ‘Big John’ Monds telling the LA Times, “‘Jump’ is one of those songs that when people hear it, they instantly love it.” The single quickly achieved international success, topping charts in Switzerland, Australia, and the United States – where it reached #1 faster than any debut single had in over 20 years. In 1992 alone, the song sold over 2 million physical copies.

Renowned music critic Robert Christgau praised the song, calling it, “one of those works of art that makes rock and roll worth living for.” An annual poll of music critics done by the Village Voice ranked the track as the #3 single of the year behind Arrested Development’s “Tennessee” and House Of Pain’s “Jump Around”.

Billboard reported “Jump” was the #3 song of 1992, and the #23 song of the decade.
