Just unbelievable. The guy appeared to be a perfect picture of good health.

It makes you put life in perspective. We could be here today and

gone tomorrow. Heavy just seemed like a cool dude anyone could talk to.

R.I.P Dwight Myers.

She's probably heartbroken. I don't think we've heard from Diddy yet, either.

It's possible. Uptown help nourished Mary J. and Heavy D was definitely a part of her development.

I still jam off of the Nuttin but love album. The Got me waiting remix is the business.

I always liked Heavy's vibe, so smooth, so much fun.

God rest his soul.

Keep It COmin

"Forget batman, I guess it's fatman forever.."

And I found him very handsome. Not usually my style, but he was a cutie. He was adorable as Regine's man on Living Single.

Just saw touching tweets from Questlove, Jazzy Jeff and Q Tip.

Yeah they've got to be in shock. He had a huge hand w/ Uptown...K-Ci Hailey said if it wasn't for Heavy there wouldn't have been Jodeci!

Thanks for posting "Just Coolin'" that is MY SHIT as far as Heavy D. verses go.

I am speechless. Heavy D. was the man.

I can remember sitting up late at night after being out partying watching the Self-Destruction video for the very first time on some late night video channel in LA over my homeboy's Moms crib. Remember the first time I saw it like it was yesterday. EVERYBODY was dope but Heavy D's verse was the best one.

I think I saw Heavy D. on the Budweiser Superfest in 1991 at the L.A. Coliseum but I cannot remember all who was on the bill...BUT what I DO remember FOR SURE is that somewhere around April of 1988 I heard "Don't You Know" by Heavy D. on KISS-FM in New York City RIGHT BEFORE I heard "It Takes Two" by Rob Base for the VERY FIRST TIME. I shall NEVER forget that Sunday evening as long as I live. It tripped me out hearing Heavy D. doing a ballad, and then hearing what will always be to me one of the greatest hip-hop records EVER for the first time. Just as he introduced the world to "In Living Color" every weekend, he introduced me to "It Takes Two."

Heavy you were an INTEGRAL part of arguably the most important musical wave ever.

You opened every Sunday the greatest television show of all of time. I hope you they gave you an Emmy somewhere along the way - you surely deserved it.

Love you brother - see you on the other side!

Rest easy Hev'

Heavy D. «♪» Money Earnin' Mt. Vernon

I was born and grew up in Mount Vernon, NY. This breaks my heart! Just goes to show, it could be anyone's time at any time! I hope Fat Joe is taking care of himself!

MARY HASN'T SAID ANYTHING YET!!! I'll wait though...

I don't think twitter means anything or even speaking out. They could be upset or speaking to his family in private. They don't need to speak out for the public to hear.

He was a handsome dude! I've had these pics in my collection for a while now. They were taken about 2 years ago.

Thanks to the dude who said "Don't You Know" in that great post, had me going back to when I was four watching this on "Video Soul":

That's true. Guess I was just a little upset but you're right, it don't really mean much.

So, were my brother and I the only ones who practiced the dance routine to We've got our own thang?

You sure as hell wasn't. I was trying myself at five to match what Heavy and 'em were doing! I don't know if I succeeded or not.

The overweight lovasss in the house ... That was my Jam

WOW! How sad! I was just listening to his music a few weeks ago
