Heav was popular back when it wasn’t a crime to use the word “love” in a rap song.

Heav was popular back when it wasn’t a crime to use the word “love” in a rap song. He was never connected to scandal, always respectful and always delivered fun music you could move to!

It was HEALTHY COMPETITION that flexed one’s lyrical spontaneous and creative muscle. So it seems as if the person writing this is not well-informed on hip hop terminology.

But anyway, I loved him very much.
in the last few years–Jay Dilla, Gang Starr, Apache, Nate Dogg and now Heavy D. None of them reached 50! Of course there’s a black male shortage!!

Probably the best one I’ve seen yet. My fondest memory of Heavy D: I was 15 yrs old, attending one of my first rap concerts, starring Salt-n-Pepa, Heavy D & the Boyz, and Whodini, at the Miami Arena. The arena was not packed so me and a friend spotted Heavy D standing behind the stage area and we decided to walk over to say hello. Being the silly little girls we were, we decided to get closer until security stopped us. Fortunately, I got close enough to Heavy D and boldly asked if I could take a picture of him. He agreed and posed in a homeboy stance. I was happy and he was so cool about it. It was my first encounter with a celebrity so I didn’t know what to expect. It sounds corny but now that he’s passed I wished I still had that photo from my youth. RIP Heavster!

I was pretty young when Heavy D first came out but I remembered his energy as a little girl. I watched a lot of the t.v. show ‘Digfferent World’ as a child, and he had an appearance on there- he was a PHENOMENAL entertainer. RIP to him- God bless his soul and his friends and family

I was shocked and saddened when I heard of Heavy D’s untimely passing. He was only 2 years older than me and I definetly felt a connection with him because of that. As a female, I always appreciated the respect he showed women in his music… such a class act!

I hope his wife & daughter gain solice knowing that Heavy D left behind a legacy of fun music, love and respect… his fans will always remember him for those things!

I’m so glad Heavy D was recognized with a BET award shortly before he passed… it was MUCH deserved!

Now…

I’m going to listen to a bunch of his songs right now… More Bounce to the Ounce, Somebody For Me, The Overweight Lover, Girls the Girls They Love Me… and on and on!

Rest in Peace Heavy, You will be missed!
