Quote:
Heavy D, the overweight lover, Mr. Big Stuff, head of Heavy D & The Boyz, and a dude pretty much beloved by everyone everywhere, has died at the age of 44, according to TMZ and other outlets. He reportedly collapsed at home in Beverly Hills this afternoon, was rushed to the hospital, and died a short time after.

That is just indescribably tragic. He was a relentlessly positive rapper. You and your mom could both like him. He was one of the first crossover artists to blend hip hop and dancehall reggae. And he proved, again, that fat guys could dance.

R.I.P., Heavy D. You were one of the good guys.

Dude was inspiration to fat light-skinned bruhs everywhere.

brings back memories of middle school. i genuinely still like his stuff. a lot of mainstream/non-aggressive rap never clicked with me, because the choruses always fell flat/weren't catchy enough. Heavy was rap and pop in the best way, something I wish more modern rap/pop would follow through with.

i still remember the melodies for most of the songs off this album, even though it's been years. we'll miss ya big guy.

i'd say this, but "peaceful journey" was tight all-around, incl. "now that we found love"
