He *was* criminally-underrated because he was mainstream and for whatever reason rappers who's music crossed-over into the POP or R&B genre got shade thrown at their skills.

this is hip hop, the heart and soul of it, it didn't start out as violent, mumbling, twerking bullshit but somehow has devolved into that, keep the memories of the pioneers alive and in the same spirit, play real music in your house for your kids like your parents did
As a kid, I played this cassette so much. Used to rap it in front of adults, haha. Heavy D was just so smooth and carried himself so well back then. RIP and thank you for the memories sir.
You are so right. I'm happily married with adult children and can still say those were the BEST times.. Rappers that could articulate a real thought through the music.
So Trouble T is not important? Shame on you. stillcrew.com/looking-back-on-trouble-t-roy-dixon-25-years-after-pete-rock-and-cl-smooths-timeless-tribute-c1636b6e22e

Heavy D was sweeeeet he wasn't afraid to dance even being heavy. He was killing those dance moves. The other so-called heavy rappers couldn't even compare cuz they to busy trying to be tough and gangsta.
I don't think Heavy D was underated. He was well respected, did duets with a lot of the top artists back then and won awards too. So i think he was well respected. He still remain my favourite rap artist to date and one of the most consistent.
@Cuteandlovely-sweet: Same. As a kid, it was just a catchy song. I never *REALLY* paid attention, or understood the weight of the lyrics. As a 44yo man, "somebody to love me for me" doesn't even seem possible in the real world.
@@tizodd6 I agree, everything is materialistic and made up. Of course social media has set the standards for love so everyone is attracted to the wrong things in the world.
@@sarahsimpkins1311 Why be combative? I said it's a nice song. The lyrics just speak more to me as an adult. I actually understand the point he's making in the song now. As a kid, I only heard the catchy beat. Seems like you may still have a kid's understanding.
Who listening to this in 2024 rocking with this this a true legend this song 🎶 is so real and refreshing ❤😊 I hope this song becomes my reality engineering by God himself with special someone ❤

Heavy D is criminally underrated as an MC and entertainer. One of the best to ever do it.
