History

"It's a Shame" was the final single from Totally Krossed Out, following Jump, Warm It Up and I Missed the Bus. "It's a Shame" turned out to be the least successful of the four singles, as it did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100. However, it did manage to reach #11 on "Billboard"'s Hot Rap Singles chart and its video received heavy airplay on MTV and BET. The song was written and produced by Jermaine Dupri. The group had performed "It's a Shame" on numerous television shows such as A Different World. But the song may sound differnt due to the fact that the both members Daddy Mac and Mac Daddy were going through puberty.
