one of the few artists who could actually make me feel his music, like having a reall effect on me. Peaceful Journey helped me a lot when at times when i was young
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![]()
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

Heavy D was nice but he spent too much time rhyming over New Jack Swing beats. A lot of his music was mad corny
Plus he made the classic themes for both In Living Color and MADtv.![]()
That song was dopebalance breh..plus he did put out songs like black coffee...that spoke to me just like songs from those other guys too
*loads neg gun*
anyway, title might be correct.

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.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.
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
