R.I.P. Heavy D (May 4, 1967 – November 8, 2011)

Nov 9, 2011, 6:00am Quit Mumbling
R.I.P. Heavy D (May 4, 1967 – November 8, 2011) Yesterday, Dwight Arrington Myers, a.k.a. Heavy D, passed away at 1PM at a Los Angeles hospital. The cause of his death is unknown, but it has been reported the former rapper was dealing with pneumonia . Rather than eulogizing Heavy D as an elite rap lyricist, it’s important to recognize the man as a dependably fun artist whose effervescent personality carried over to his music. By all measures, he was a beacon of positivity, while also being a purveyor of reliably #based tweets . My memory of Heavy D is tied to [...]

Hiphopobit: Heavy D

Nov 9, 2011, 2:55am No Rock And Roll Fun
Heavy D, actor and musician, has died in Beverley Hills. Born Dwight Arrington Myers, as leader of Heavy D & The Boyz he was the 90s go-to guy at the poppier end of hip-hop for those times when you couldn't afford Will Smith. The Boyz were the anchor group for Uptown Records, finding success almost immediately with the album Living Large and the platinum follow-up Big Tyme. D landed a number of lucrative collaborations - rapping on Michael Jackson's Jam and working with BB King, but a cooler reaction to third album Blue Funk saw him [...]

RIP Heavy D

RIP Heavy D Photo and autograph courtesy of the G Archives. Heavy D I'm so saddened to hear about the death of rapper Heavy D (at the young age of 44) today.  I loved his rapping on Janet Jackson's "Alright," Michael Jackson's "Jam," as well as the theme song for the TV show "In Living Color."  I was lucky enough to meet him several times and he was extremely cool.  I remember one time in the 90s, my brother and I were walking down the streets of Los Angeles [...]

Old School Tuesdays:: R.I.P. Heavy D

Nov 8, 2011, 10:26pm Herohill
Old School Tuesdays:: R.I.P. Heavy D This is a rough one. Hearing today that Heavy D passed away hit home, and the only thing I can compare it to is Guru's passing . I've done a number of these R.I.P. OSM posts for various people related to hip hop, but when it's a central figure from a period in hip hop that's near and dear to your heart, it makes a mark. And when it's a guy like the Heavster, who was pretty much universally loved, it's that much more painful. I actually had another OSM lined up [...]
