Jackson star in this Lethal Weapon spoof about a plot to rot the brains and teeth of America with drug-laced cookies. Colt (Estevez) and Lugar (Jack son) are cops with attitude — silly, comball attitude—but attitude none theless. The cracker jack detectives are aided by a Leo Getz-type criminal turned cohort played by Jon Lovitz. There’s also the bodacious, leather clad female played by swimsuit mod el-tumed-actress Kathy Ireland.

They will be if they keep dropping tracks like ‘Take Urn Out,” “Sound Of My Hood” and “Da Bomb.” —Greg Schick Photo Courtesy Ruffhouse/Columbia “Da Bomb” Kris Kross Ruffhouse/Columbia Hard-core cute. Perhaps that is the term that should be used to describe Kris Kross, the 14-year old duo from Atlanta. “Cute” just wouldn’t hang for the backwards dressed Mack Dad dy and Daddy Mack, a.k.a. Chris Smith and Chris Kelly—who con sider themselves hard-core. “If they gonna call Kris Kross pop, then Die’s pop — then call Onyx pop,” says DJ Nabs, a.k.a. Jermaine Dupri, the group’s deejay. Gaining respect has been one of the biggest obstacles for Kris Kross. When the group had the whole nation yelling “Jump, Jump” in 1992, they got props for being able to move the crowd ami sell a few records. mil aner selling live mimun records, teeme-boppcrs made up the majority of their fans, and Kns Kross lost the hip-hop followers. No one over the age of sixteen would be caught dead listening to Kris Kross — for fear of being associated with the “kids.” However, the group deserves credit for being able to rock a crowd from the age of 12, not to mention being one of the first hip-hop crews out of Atlanta, a previously untapped field. On Kris Kross’s new album, “Da Bomb”, the voices are a little deeper and the beats are a little funkier. The boys have quit the “Jump” and “Warm It Up” chants to concentrate on lyrics. These kids don’t have anyone writing their lyrics—they do it all. Raised on hip hop, it is in their blood. That’s probably the reason for the track, “It Don’t Stop,” a tribute to Run-D.M.C. The track uses old school lyrics mixed with the new. Dupri’s production is very smooth. Using samples from big hip-hop crews such as Dr. Dre and Cypress Hill, he creates a bass laden canvas ready for the rappers to paint their lyrical image upon. Kriss Kross showed their con siderable skills at the Nebraska State Fair, Saturday. It’s a real challenge for any rappers to excite a crowd of mostly 13-year-old Nebraskans— just ask show-opener Ed Lover. But Kris Kross came through. Not only did they “warm it up,” they made the crowd “jump.” By the end, they had the crowd shout ing “drop the bomb.” The track “I’m Real" seems to Photo Courtesy WAR. “The Last Drag” The Samples W.A.R.? What should one expect from a band who took its name from sur viving on supermarket samples? Expect crisp, wholesome, fun pop music. Parents love the nutrition, kids love the taste. Based in Boulder, Colorado, the Samples formed in 1987. Two years later they released their first al bum, which was immediately picked up by Arista. Artistic choices forced the band to move to the independentW.A.R.? label in order to release their sec ond album “No Room.” Because of an extensive 18-month tour, “No Room” sold well despite little ad vertising. Through their on-the-road ef forts the Samples have gained a dedicated group of fans including saxophonist Branford Marsalis. Marsalis played with the band on its live album and gave the Sam ples a guest shot on “The Tonight Show” last March. Hard-core fans and new con verts should enjoy the latest release ,”The Last Drag,” which will go on sale September 16. “Little Silver Ring," the first track on the album, highlights the vocal talents of Sean Kelley. Though comparisons to Sting are obvious, Kelley has vocal qualities that are unique. The Samples work more diver sity into this album than they have in the past. The uncharateristically pessimistic “Misery” is a dirge like break from the sweetness prev alent on the rest of the album. “Nitrous Fall” also diversifies the band's sound with a song that sounds like Bob Marley meeting Pink Floyd. Anyone who caught the Sam ples gig last April at the Ranch Bowl could attest to the power of the live show. They had the full house dancing nonstop. One of the problems with this album is that energy is lost in the studio. The length of “The Last Drag” seems to be its major fault. The 16 songs prove that one can get too much of a good thing. Like a super market sample the album is nice to taste but it is not a full meal. Don’t miss the Samples when they headline Floodfest with local heroes 311 and the Millions this Sunday at Pioneers Park. — Malcom Miles BE A RED CROSS VOLUNTEER
