Brings me back to the days I wished I was old enough to go to the club and dance to songs like this. I was 16 when they had these bangers on the radio, and the suburbs did not have house parties. I was so jealous. Lol
Im a 62 year old white woman who loves his music. His music is still awesome. I play it in front of young kids , they love it and download it. He was a huge talent. Performing and producing.
@ReturnoftheBrotha Uh, no. Heavy was just as lyrical as anyone of that generation and DAMN sure more lyrical than the cats today. He *was* criminally-underrated because he was mainstream and for whatever reason rappers who's music crossed-over into the POP or R&B genre got shade thrown at their skills.
@ReturnoftheBrotha Generally speaking, I would agree. Yet, when it came to Heavy D his sound never change. The group had a universal flavor that many people like that made his albums gold and platinum.
@@katrinaholden8183 Im so glad we grew up around some good music I was in the 4th Grade when this was a hit heavy D was on top of his game back in the day 😊 Today music is Trash everyone sound the same that shit is for the New Generation.
As a kid, I played this cassette so much. Used to rap it in front of adults, haha. Heavy D was just so smooth and carried himself so well back then. RIP and thank you for the memories sir.
this is hip hop, the heart and soul of it, it didn't start out as violent, mumbling, twerking bullshit but somehow has devolved into that, keep the memories of the pioneers alive and in the same spirit, play real music in your house for your kids like your parents did
You are so right. I'm happily married with adult children and can still say those were the BEST times.. Rappers that could articulate a real thought through the music.
So Trouble T is not important? Shame on you. stillcrew.com/looking-back-on-trouble-t-roy-dixon-25-years-after-pete-rock-and-cl-smooths-timeless-tribute-c1636b6e22e
@@ronaldross9295 Heavy D didn't cuss in his lyrics clean rap all the way from him we can't find rappers today that can make a song without cussing or degrading women Heavy D was underrated cause he didn't cuss in his lyrics or degrade women parents let their kids listen to Lil Wayne Drake Rick Ross Jay Z and Nicki Minaj and the rest of the so called rappers today who rap about smoking and drinking degrade women smh what a shame
Who listening to this in 2024 rocking with this this a true legend this song 🎶 is so real and refreshing ❤😊 I hope this song becomes my reality engineering by God himself with special someone ❤
I don't think Heavy D was underated. He was well respected, did duets with a lot of the top artists back then and won awards too. So i think he was well respected. He still remain my favourite rap artist to date and one of the most consistent.
Heavy D was sweeeeet he wasn't afraid to dance even being heavy. He was killing those dance moves. The other so-called heavy rappers couldn't even compare cuz they to busy trying to be tough and gangsta.
HEAVY D AND THE BOYZ WILL FOREVER BE MUSIC LEGENDS, GLAD TO KNOW ALL THESE GUYS EARLY ON BEFORE THEIR FIRST ALBUM DROPPED, GLAD TO BE PART OF THIS NEW JACK SWING FAMILY WITH AL B SURE, TEDDY RILEY AND EDDIE F AND THE BOYZ...MUCH RESPECT ALWAYS TO ALL YOU R.I.P. HEAVY.... - 3/23/22 - LANCE ROMANCE
@Cuteandlovely-sweet: Same. As a kid, it was just a catchy song. I never *REALLY* paid attention, or understood the weight of the lyrics. As a 44yo man, "somebody to love me for me" doesn't even seem possible in the real world.
@@tizodd6 I agree, everything is materialistic and made up. Of course social media has set the standards for love so everyone is attracted to the wrong things in the world.
@@sarahsimpkins1311 Why be combative? I said it's a nice song. The lyrics just speak more to me as an adult. I actually understand the point he's making in the song now. As a kid, I only heard the catchy beat. Seems like you may still have a kid's understanding.
Al B. Sure help set this off so well man, he just fit right in with the whole song. You don't get that 2day, they just put any 1 2gether & force them down yur throat. Sometimes I get a lump in my throat when ever I listen 2 gr8 old school like this, brings back gr8 memories I 4got, I start feelin good & a little sad at the same time. Heavy D & The Boyz was at the top during this stage in their careers. R.I.P. Heavy, you found THE 1 who loves you for you.
That’s what I love about him the most. He just did is thang the way he wanted to do it. His music could be played anywhere. You can’t sit while a heavy. D track is playing, is music is contagious.
Back when music was MUSIC
it is good but not because of the music, but because of the message.
I absolutely agree
Amen
