Heavy D Appreciation Thread

sully

It's been exactly 1 year since the overweight lovin' MC died from deep venous thrombosis. (Let this be a lesson to anyone who sits for prolonged periods of time...DON'T!).

The man who gave Puffy a chance, before Bad Boy and all the success. And was the influence for Puffy's shiny-suit era.

The man who gave Biggie his first appearance on an official song.

The man who produced probably Beanie Sigel's greatest song (IMO): Feel It In The Air.

The man who didn't need to curse in his music and still maintained swag greater than most rappers could only dream of.

One of the few rappers to ever get an invite to collab with Michael Jackson.

The man who told Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence's story in the movie 'Life'.

The man who composed the theme music to In Living Color.

One of the first rappers to have acting gigs.

The man with one of the smoothest flows in hip hop.

And correct me if i'm wrong, but he was one of the first to successfully incorporate that reggae twist into his rap music.

IMO, he put out one of the smoothest rap albums when he released "Waterbed Hev". That was my shit back in the day.

That right...it's Hev Diggy.

Exactly, thats why Im doing those ¨hip hop in insert year¨threads. Alot of these young cats dont know their history and they think when people say hip hop is dead or has fallen off that the person is just hating on the new generation. Hip hop is extremly different than what it used to be. Niggas was actually talkin about something in their music. Most rhymes had stories within it, thats why music videos were better aswell. Around 97 and 98, the ¨jiggy/brag rap¨ took over and the game hasnt changed since. Now niggas only talk about what they got and most of them niggas be lying. Rap used to be on some uplifting unifed pro black shit. None of this openly racist shit would be happening if hip hop was like it was in the early 90s.....
