Is Heavy D the most underrated figure in hip hop history?

It wasn't mindless most of it was just corny
I didn't even like this song when it was out and I was like 10
This song was hot.
I feel you. He was a dope MC. But his peak was at a time when we had conscious acts like Public Enemy, Ice Cube , and A Tribe Called Quest. Dudes like him, Kwame, and Kid N Play were busy rocking polka dots and Gumbys and doing the running man
balance breh..plus he did put out songs like black coffee...that spoke to me just like songs from those other guys too

You'on like that song?
Who do you think you are?
(see, Heav sonnin' you from the grave)
I don’t think he’s underrated. He had a good run, and I feel he’s appropriately ranked.
I like his music ( one of the few artists I could play in the main living room stereo without hearing moms yell “turn that nasty music off boy!!!”). Let’s face it tho, if Hev were a popular, current artist today the same heads reminiscing over his music would prolly call him a corny, weak simp.
His rhymes were very basic and unchallenging.

Where I'm from the only time u heard or saw Heavy D was on rap city or a t.v appearance....he was a novelty but he had somewhat of an impact...others got in his lane and did it better...but RIP
But I'm not just talking about rap and that's why I said he is underrated. He did a lot of other things also.

to any Heavy D slander. Breh had that big man swag down.Produced one of the GOAT tracks in the last 20 years
Was a major part of Uptown Records that birthed so many legends in their own right (Jodeci, Mary J, Puff's career)
RIP HEV

This is exactly why I'm saying he's underrated. He had his hands in a lot and people don't even realize.
