    Very Sad day. Seldom can you use the word classy to describe a rapper.

    REST IN PEACE, the rapper whose last letter in the name gave birth to my nickname. :(

    Que En Paz Descanse

    Guy wrote some fun, catchy tunes and was probably one of the few well known rappers with no financial or personal issues, and certainly a mile marker of the early '90s and New Jack Swing era, but I don't know if I'd call him a great.

    I think he also did the second one from Season 3 onward, which I thought was a great improvement and coincided with the best year of that show, or for black entertainment in general ('91-'92).

    Man,only one person called him great and that could be subjective. Perhaps great in terms of rappers the poster feels attached to due to a period in the poster's life. Not necessarily saying that he can/should be considered one of the top rappers of all time.

    All in all just a positive rapper.

    Good find re. the "A Different World" vid. I knew he was on one of those early 90's shows, I just couldn't remember which.
    Also, I love that O'Jays original version of the song. Love that and Heavy's version but not so keen on the Third World version.

    Heavy D was always positive when in the media ..... Just hope the people remember him for being a positive role model... Because rappers nowadays are far from it....

    RIP Heavy D
