I can’t front, I’m teary eyed watching this. Heavy was such a class act. True definition of hip hop. You don’t even see crowds get hype like this anymore. Heavy D and the boyz are a big reason why i fell in love with hip hop as a kid. R.I.P. heavy and Troy. Underrated legends... Heavy could rap and dance his ass off. And didn’t curse. He made it cool to be a big dude.
Thats what you call CLASSY CLASSY 💕 ❤ 💕!!!! Not looking like some of the nasty looking Yeast Infection THOTS. YEAR OF NEW GENERATION EVERYTHING MUST BE EXPOSED!!!! EWWWWW!!! 💪
Seeing this video and knowing that both he and Troy are gone brings tears to my eyes. But I take solace in knowing that they were physically in my life, they were the two best "brothers" a little sister could ask for. RIP D and TeeTee, love you to death and miss you until it hurts.
This was my song back in the days, heavy D could move, this was when a party would be jumping, Al.b.sure was back up singer on this song, heavy D the Jamaican overweight lover.
Heavy was a good friend of mine. We did some wild things in 7th grade. Lawd, Mt. Vernon NY will never have a vibe like when we were kids growing up there. I love you HD & Mt Vernon Forever in our hearts.
I was a teen when this song came out. My aunt was still living around the corner from his mom in Mt. Vernon. Miss my big brother so much!!!! Love you, RIP
I remember going to my first concert ever....Heavy D and the Boyz at the Greenville Memorial Auditorium in Greenville, SC. I now am 52 years old....And I still rock his music.
A true Gentleman, he was such a talentend brother. He could, rap/sing and dance with swagg! Always love and respect for him, mr.HeavyD and the group ❤️🌼🌹🙏
Hey this guy here was a performer and one best Entertainer of all time he was big guy that could dance and rap and sing he was talented GREATEST OF ALL TIME REST IN Peace My Brother Heavy D Gone but not forgotten Real Recognize Real🕊🕊🕊🌹🕊
I just want to thank you Dwight Myers aka "Heavy D" for your music and dance! Your music helped me to discover my own style of dance and helped me to win several talent shows in school! RIH LOVE U 4EVER!
This is the Arena where Trouble T died at: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/11/Market_Square_Arena,_Indianapolis,_1988.jpg He fell from the Exit Ramp right outside of the Entrance. This is the Spot he fell from: ballparks.smugmug.com/Market-Square-Arena-demolished-Indianapolis-Indiana/i-KSf9WFG/A What happened is the Arena used old 1970 Building Codes for Coliseums. Which meant, that Retaining Walls were built at Shallow foots and metrics. Troy and everyone were actually leaving the Area walking the Exit Ramp horsing around, and none them realized that they were actually exiting 30 Feet up in the Air, so when the Roadie rolled a Trash Can at him as a joke, Troy jumped on that low Skyline Wall to avoid it and unfortunately lost his balance. He fell exactly 3 Stories down and hit his head right on the Intersection. An Ambulance Truck was parked RIGHT in front of them blocking the lane, so EMTs saw him land.
I was 8 years old when my mom bought me this single on tape after watching this performance. I'll never forget her saying, "That Heavy guy has some moves!" lol! I know Heavy is somewhere in heaven tearing the dance floor up! Thanx for uploading and R.I.P. to a true legend!
@2:49 Heavy went in!!!!! Now this was TRUE ENTERTAINMENT!!! Gone too soon. Never to be forgotten. Thank you Heavy D and The Boys for the memories .I love you guys from a Forever Fan who once lived in " Money Earnin Mount Vernon"(N.Y.)
my man "HEAVY D" was the man.. and THIS was his baaaaadeeest jaaam.!!! (IMHO)..you couldnt help but get on the floor when was played go heavy R.I.P. luv U thanks for this...!!!
I miss them soooo much i remember when heavy D Came to Milwaukee back in the day That when Trouble T-Roy pass away rip❤❤ to my brothers love them like my own I wish we could go back in them days God bless ❤❤💯💯💕😢
I remember watching this, Heavy D and the Boyz turned it out!! Happy Birthday in heaven Heavy, your talent is missed but not forgotten (RIP Trouble T as well).
Troy’s death was shocking,tragic and heartbreaking. It was so sudden. Like a Fastball. He tragically fell to his death while they were preforming on a High Rise Stage in Indianapolis in July 1990.
5:10 "I don do no drugs and I spend all my money on clothes and my parents and stuff like that..." And herein lies the difference to most of today's 'rap stars'
I must say that stumbling across this footage of the Arsenio Hall with Heavy D and the Boyz, brings a straight up smile to my face! This was & still is my jam! Telling my age but I was blasting this in my dorm room at Fort Valley as well as I remember watching this show and I was tearing up the floor in the hall. Dancing like nobody was watching or I was at the show. This jam is on my playlist in 2024. RIP Hèavy-D. You're still missed! Thanks for this YT footage of this show, sparks up so much nostalgia from college! 1989 was a very good year!
This cat was blowing up the spot during this time! Classic hip-hop and good times! I was cold chillin' in the club scenes from New York City to Los Angeles during these times, and I can tell you that they were not only hype, they were also irreplaceable! RIP HEAVY D and TROUBLE T-ROY.
A HEAVY D “SOUL THROWBACK” 💕 SHOUT OUT TO YOU ARSINIO [TRUE PIONEER TO THE GAME] And SHOUT OUT TO HEAVY D “ REST IN THE LORD” My Brother! 💕 I Really Miss Heavy 💕 He Was A HUGE INSPIRATION And POSITIVE ROLE MODEL TO ME AND MY ENTIRE FAMILY During That Time! 💕 Wish He Was Here RIGHT NOW!!! 💕👍🏽💯 And CANT FORGET The HEAVY D DANCERS!!! 💕 Those Brothers LIT IT UP EACH And EVERY TIME THE HIT THE STAGE!!! 💕 STRAIGHT FACTS! 💯% TRUTH. . . . . . OVERWEIGHT LOVER IN THE HOUSE!!!💕💕💕💕😘Miss You!👍🏽
He's not lip syncing or huffing and puffing. Heavy was incredible. Rest in Peace Brother.

Back in the day Aresenio didnt allow no lip syncing on his show
He’s in my top 10 easy
Damn that's a good point he was not huffing and puffing and his microphone was on lol you so messy lol
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
The size, the dance moves, the flyness! Heavy D was the man
Bunggg Diddly Diddly D....😮
Let's be honest, there is know one that will ever come close to this man's greatness! I still rock with this legend!
That’s because he had a different type of energy from other’s and what made it so much better is he didn’t have to cuss in his music
Not taking a shot at Biggie, but for me, Heavy will always be the overweight King of Hip Hop! RIP Heavy.
I was two years old uptown 233rd street I feel like crying lol I remember the city rocking to this when I was 6 . RIP to the god .
Would of loved to see a calibration between Heavy and Big? That would have been grand?
Even doin reggae with Super Cat the man shined . RIP Heavy D
Heavy had swag on a thousand, lol. This brother was 300 lbs dancing like that. Incredible.
Heavy, Mr. SEXY!!!!! I don't care how much he weighed!

Trouble T's death just made no sense. It was a tragic FREAK accident that came out of nowhere.
@@Tornado1994 Yes it was,but sad as it sound we all experience that in our lives.T.r.o.y died from what he loved to do .He wasn't taken from us.
@@Tornado1994 it was his time but yeah definitely a freak accident
HE SLAYED IT
Heavy D will live forever
This was my song back in the days, heavy D could move, this was when a party would be jumping, Al.b.sure was back up singer on this song, heavy D the Jamaican overweight lover.
