My best friend and I are from Illinois and were big Heavy D fans. We'd been listening to him since 'Uptown's Kickin It' back in '86. We grew up and moved to different cities, me to Chicago and he to Los Angeles. He ended up becoming a boxing/physical trainer working in a boxing club on Paolina. In '98 I came to visit and hung out at the club. They had a lot of celebrity clientele (Eddie from Family Matters, Michael Jai White, a fresh faced Jennifer Lopez, Carmen Electra, etc...) so it wasn't a thing when Heavy D walked in there. I wanted to meet him so I walked right up and introduced myself and Heavy D shook my hand and said to me "oh yes, I've heard a lot about you from your guy." Here's Heavy D, a world-renowned entertainer and childhood hero of mine telling me that HE'S HEARD OF ME. That showed me everything I needed to know about that man. Just a powerful and warm spirit in that guy. He is sorely missed.
When I started reading the comments, I reached your comment here right at 7:08 so Heavy D was actually saying it while I was reading your quoted comment here.
I love Hip Hop so much! My beautiful daughter was born at the same time I was told of Heavy Ds passing. As I was on my way to the hospital my boy called me and told me about Heavy. As I cried for Heavy I also felt the joy of my new born. May he Rest In Peace 👊🏽
So glad I found this. Heav was so underrated but set the standard for rhymin' without expletives. His hardest for me later on in transition was We got our own thing, You Can't See, Ready for Dem,Yes Y'all,Here comes the Heavsta,Listen and On Point with Pun and 8-Ball. Miss the brother and his music.
Lmao @ the Beasties story. Love & respect to Heavy D. Miss the days of my youth, just discovering artists like Run DMC, Whodini & Fat Boys. I was hooked on hip hop immediately & still love all these artists today
D Nice thank you. I've been just looking for Heavy D interviews just because i miss him. But this is great!! Oh and i learned from him that you D Nice did self destruction.. Dwight Meyers rest in Paradise
Oh Heavy D….I know you resting in peace with our Lord. One of the best, overlooked MCs ever. You showed humility, and left a catalog of work that stands today. You are the real deal, who was and is genuine. Love from Sydney, Australia.
I really miss Heavy D. And I always thought that Heavy was so fly. He Truly Is Uptown’s Finest. Without him there’s no big and sexy in Hip-Hop; no Biggie Smalls, no Rick Ross, no Big Pun ... even though I love all of these guys lyrically (mad love and respect).
Omg this hit me right in the heart. How did I miss this body of work of yours all these years! Hip Hop Forever. RIP Heavy D 🙏🏾 Yes I'm inspired. Thank you
Heavy D and all the old school hip hop art's that pass away cause we will always love them and miss always. Made God bless their souls that they rest in peace and I say word up doc. And to my family and friends that made God bless their souls also that they rest in peace and I say word up doc love them and miss them so much and always forever and ever. I know that I will see them at the crossroad. Love you all and miss you all already. January10_2020.
Hev was doin Melodic Rap Early! Doin what Drake got credit for 30 years later. His Sound was always unique. Using R&B Melody to make Rap records in 87 is crazy...
Heavy D was so cool in person.. R.I.P. Heavy
He really was!!!
Jamaicans are just cool Vibin folks. Biggie and Heavy were prime examples!
He really was laid back and down to earth he ain't think he was above anyone or look down on folks
ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED RAPPERS....... INCONCEIVABLE!!!!! LYRICALLY, TALENTED, EXPRESSIVE AND INCREDIBLY INTELLIGENT 💙💙💙💙!!!! THE BOMB💣!!!!
Aisuru Ramonto I COULDN'T AGREE MORE!!!

The first 40 second is what changed my life in Jr. High School. Had a fat kid walk into school with his head high.
Humble dude on all his interviews, RIP heavy. Left too young but thats the way it is sometimes.
He's one of the only rappers I heard say specific rappers were better than him.
One of THE classiest rap pioneers....RIP Hev.....And Thank you Brother D-Nice...I hope you have more lost Hip Hop Stories.......
Don't try to Swing cause you couldn't even Hang....We got our own thang.
peace & blessings.
