RIP to both Trouble T Roy and Heavy D and PAC. All 3 are still missed today and forever
Also Andre Harrell and shock g. All gone way too soon
RIP B.I.G. 👑 🙏🏿🕊 🕯
And 2021 S.I.P. to DMX, Black Rob, Biz Markie, Prince Markie Dee, & Kangol Kid respectively......
Woll on..we can't forget John Fletcher a.k.a Ecstacy from Whodini
Diddy started interning for Uptown Records a few months prior to his death… Heavy D used to always say “Keep That N!gga Away From Me”.
"When they reminisce over you" T.R.O.Y
That song still bangs!
That person (s) that killed him should have had/ got life!!!!!!
@@ebonyrushharrington1901 I don’t understand why it was so hush hush?
I grew up thinking he fell off the stage as well. I can't describe how sad it was to hear this all over again. 🙏🏾
That was the official story they put out, at the time.
I thought the same thing.
For so long they felt the need to hide the real story. The only reason I can think of is that they wanted to protect the guy who did it who was a dancer for Kid-n-Play on the tour. His actions were so carless and reckless that he should have been brought up on charges.
@@commonsensemaker5195 Absolutely. I found an article recently and it did say it was a member of the entourage. I find it amazing how they released that statement and quietly swept it under the rug...
If anyone caught the Heavy D Unsung segment, that fateful day is discussed in detail as well. I knew Troy fell from a high ledge. I didn't know it was from ducking from a rolling trash bin
Man, he was just a baby! At 22, I just had my first kid and got married. Dang! Thank you for this one! So sad!
You were just a baby
One of the saddest industry stories...Heavy D was never the same...
It was so devastating. I never forgot it.
I remember when this happened…I was so sad! Heavy released good music after trouble died, but, it wasn’t the same. When heavy died I was messed up about that too! I miss the days when everything seemed so simple. We had fun w/o any drama! Rest easy T-ROY ❤️🩹
I agree with you that Heavy just never was the same after Trouble died.
I had the honor of seeing them right b4 he died.
They were performing in Cincinnati (where i saw them) then they were in Indianapolis when he was killed.
I was so shocked!
❤ RIP to Heavy, Trouble & Pac. ❤
Never clicked so fast. I've been intrigued with Trouble T-Roy's death since I read about the real truth about how he died. So sad and so tragic.
For real!!!! 💯💯💯
Same here Shauna!!
Man.... Still hurt over everything that's happened to Heavy D and the Boyz period... I used to rewind, "We got our own thang" on VHS and my friends and I would practice that entire video over and over again until we knew the routine by heart.. ... So sad what happened to Trouble T-Roy ... We still reminiscing over you... Word to Pete Rock and CL Smooth... I pray u and Heavy are dancing together in the kingdom.. #wemissyall❤️
Y? Get over it
🤭I DID TOO
Trouble T died here:

@@Tornado1994 and it is no more! 🙏🏽 thank you my friend.
@@Remy1738Special Yup. MSA was thankfully demolished in 2001.
I heard Trouble T-Roy died from practicing a dance move where he was supposed to leap over G Wizz. And they were high up on top of a building. And he leaped to far and fell over. Thanks for clearing that up. R.I.P. Trouble T-Roy. ♥️🙏
I'm with you, that's exactly what I heard.
Kid said (which he’s lying ) in a interview that he fell off the stage.
@@Guitarist888 - he did fall off a stage . they was goofing around and pushed a dumpster at each other rest is history
@@andremorrsion6491 He didn’t fall off the stage. He fell off the edge of a 3rd story ramp. Some asshole pushed a garbage barrel and Troy leaped to the side and ended up going over the edge falling to his death. One heavy D’s back up dancers talks about it on some British podcast!
@@Guitarist888 I stand corrected thank you ramp is correct
Thank you so much man, finally after 30 years later I finally got the real break down to this story👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@Shawn Steed I knew this years ago
My hometown!!! Born and raised!! We all lived in the same neighborhood. It was like one big family. When Troy died first it was beyond devastating. Then, when Heav died, it was a huge blow to our town. Growing up in Mount Vernon when Heav, Eddie F, Troy, Glenn, Pete Rock and Jeff Redd blew up was one of the best times to be in Money Earnin. Troy, Heav and Pete lived on the same block, me and my family lived on the next block and Jeff Redd lived on the block next to us. So much talent in my neighborhood and my town. ❤❤❤ Gone, but never forgotten.💔
Hello Aretha! To another Aretha! You have be part of the Queen of Soul ! I grew up in Mount Vernon NY also and went to school with most of our Mt. Vernon stars ⭐️. Me and you should get together and do a contribute ! Please reply back !
Heavy D is 1 of my fave Artists alltime... I still bump Heavy D to this day heavy!!!
Me to
There will never be another😞😞😞
I will never forget this. I didn't know exactly how Trouble T Roy passed. It's extremely sad and heartbreaking. Trouble T Roy for eternity my favorite guy, Heavy D and the Boyz my favorite trio for eternity. Rest in Paradise, Trouble T Roy and Heavy D and Tupac. 🤍🤍🤍🤍🙏🏽🙂🕊️🕊️🕊️😔🌹🌹🌹
Rest in peace heavy d rest in peace Tupac gone but never forgotten 🙏🏼😭😭💔💔💔💔😭😭😭
@Melanie Brassfield Wow really? I definitely remembered this when they were on tour and this was just a terrible tragedy lots of folks were devastated if u were fan yes we knew
He's back!!! Can you do an accidental demise story on Vic Morrow, the actor who was killed on the set of the Twilight Zone movie along with 2 child actors when a helicopter crashed on top of them, when you get a chance? Appreciate it! Keep doing yo thang brotha!!!
I would love to hear that story
There’s actual footage of that!
@@quietconfidence5779 on RUclips?
@@teeshachurcher1400 yeah it’s terrible smh
That story was sad af and the fact John Landis didn't even get convicted for that tragedy smh
I’m a 47 year old married wife & mother & I was a huge Heavy D Fan. All of his albums were classic & take me back to my elementary/high school days.
The fashion & the dances…to this day whenever I hear somebody for me, I start dancing no matter where I am & say, “Word to the mother”. Rip Heavy D & Trouble T-Roy
😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
YES...
If so sad that trouble t boy and heavy d lost their lives the world would never be the same without them
Awesome and Phenomenal Story….Heavy D And The Boyz was my group growing up in the 80s…That group was on the rise and had Trouble T-Roy not passed, Heavy D And The Boyz would be one of the best hip hop groups in music history…After Trouble T-Roy passed away ,Heavy D And The Boyz weren’t the same since then…Trouble T-Roy and Heavy D are still missed to this day…. RIP Trouble T-Roy,Heavy D, 2pac, Shock G, And Andre Harrell…
I agree. It just wasn’t the same when Trouble T-Roy died.
Truth and 💯…Heavy D And The Last Boyz last four years without Trouble T-Roy just didn’t feel right at all..Had Trouble T-Roy not passed, Heavy D And The Boyz would be one of the top groups in hip hop history….
RIP Heavy D, Trouble T-Roy and Andre Harrell
Kid talked about this incident on VladTv. He said that one of his dancers was always pulling pranks and that he was so out of control that they had to physically accost and restrain him at one point. They didn't realize or was not probably aware that the guy was experiencing psychosis and was most likely a sociopath. For so long Heavy D, Kid-n-Play, and others tried to hide what really happened and felt the need to protect this guy who did this....not sure why they felt that way. For it seemed that this guy was really trying to hurt people. They won't exactly describe how big the trash can was, but if it was just an average size regular trash can, grown men would not run and scatter to avoid it. This guy seemed as though he was really reckless in nature and should have been banned from touring because he wasn't mentally stable.
If true shame on Heavy D, Kid, Play you’ll protecting an killer what the he!!!! is wrong with you!!!!!????
Is there a RUclips link to Kid talking about this?
O No, Kid Spilled His Gits For Free Too On VladTV. I Think Black Men Are Fools To Yap Yap Yap On That Show Without Getting Paid- No Matter The Publicity.
@@AndriaaLeoLove smh I thought vlad paid his guests oh no.
Guys look up in the search bar here "rare Tupac, kid, money b & others clowning around 1990". You will see all the guys joking around jumping on dancer "Peek-a-boo" & spanking him etc for being so outta hand.
They Reminisce Over You will ALWAYS be a classic!!! Real hip hop never dies. I hope everyone had a good day yesterday! I missed my CU family!......
Now you know we need that Heavy D story please and thank you.
Yes, it was and still is my jam
@@brenettem4958 💯💯
That's why I love this song so much and
Still my all-time favorite song to this day; the saxophone break is soul-stirring
Finally a story on Trouble T-Roy
Lamont Bentley from "Moesha", nobody really talks about him.
I think he did a story on him too.
@@larhondaburchett3271 he did.. It was only 3 mins
Outta sight..outta mind.
He played Hakeem right?
Hakeem was a dope brother
So many talented people came out of Mount Vernon for it to be such a small place. Heavy D, P Diddy, Denzel Washington and Al B. Sure just to name a few. This is one of the most tragic stories to ever come out of MV. T.R.O.Y by Pete Rock and CL Smooth is still in heavy rotation in my playlist. R.I.P Trouble T. Roy and Heavy D 🙏🏾
Rest in peace trouble t and heavy d🙏🏼🙏🏼😇😇
Don't forget Mary J. Blige !!!
@@sashazor3o she’s is from Yonkers

@@Butterflies515 💯💯💯
you ain't lying, everyone loved Troy...In the 90s there were so many tributes and interviews that people did about him...Reminisce Over You is my shit too
I had met T Roy in Louisville Ky the week before . My friend wanted to meet g wiz and so we were by the bus and I stood to the side . Troy was on the bus the doors opened and we made eye contact and he started acting as if we were old friends saying like “ omg , how have you been”, I haven’t seen you in a while lol we laughed and hung out that whole night . He was a very sweet and funny guy. I was blessed to have had met him…
😊 Cool story …Sounds like the brother was thorough. R. I. P. Troy.
Can we have an accidental demise about the lady from Brownstone? I cannot remember her name, but she tripped and fell on a wine glass, killing herself. I never knew the full story; I know you'll break it ALL the way down! Stay blessed, love your content! ❤
I was just thinking about Charmayne too. I know CU did a video on her, but her death never sat right with me. Did she drop the wine glass then fall? Or was she holding out and it broke after she fell?
@@syria0110 I'm going to go look up the episode now, thank you! 😊
@Queen Supreme Her name is Charmayne Maxwell. I miss her too. She could sing! That whole group could. I believe Michael Jackson signed them under his musical production.
@@mskym2268 You came in clutch, I needed her last name! Y'all better than Google 😊❤
@@queensupreme2000 Thanks! I was just listening to the song this week. 💓
You do ur homework my dude...I look for ur new shit always, you get the stories right!
Me too
This sounds like manslaughter. Playing around by pushing a dumpster: SMH. Then people cover that up by saying he fell off a stage. Whoever did that has to live with that for life.
DJ Whiz of Kid-N-Play was the one who pushed the dumpster. The police never charged him. They ruled as just an accident. Heavy D NEVER came back to Indianapolis. DJ Whiz has been back to Indianapolis but it took over 25 years to return. It was a very sad situation. RIP T-Roy & Heavy D!
right somebody should've been held accountable 4 that bcuz this man died due to whoever was bs playing omg I hope his family n kids is eating very well rest n piece big bro
@@freddiefresh3509 it wasn’t DJ Whiz, it was their backup dancer. Kid said it on Vlad that it was his backup dancer that rolled the garbage barrel down the ramp. G Wiz also said it was kid n play’s dancer, on some British podcast.
Besides, it was an accident. G- Wiz even said that they all were horse playing around and they didn’t no they were that high up.
If I’m not mistaken, it was that dude with the locs in that video that kid n play Public Enemy and Digital underground jump in that one video.
😢karma is real
Oh my gosh, I never knew the full extent of his death. I was told he fell off by dancing. Who would push a dumpster into the path of people. I’m distraught and angry about this, 32 years later I’m learning the full story.
When it happened back then, it was described as falling off a stage due to horse play. This is the 1st time I've heard it described as you said it. Damn!
Yeah I heard the same thing, I believe him more
Exactly I heard it was horseplay too! S/O to the Legend Chuck D, by keeping the younger✨ in line about playing around too much 🥲 REST EASY TROUBLE T- Roy🕊
#ConfirmationIsNotAlwaysEasyToGrasp
I remember hearing it that way for 20 years until G-Whiz broke it down explaining in 2010 that it was a fall from an exit ramp.
Exactly. I that’s the story most of us heard back then. Wow.
Nobody. I mean Nobody can tell these stories like you brother. I could listen to you all day.
You are so well spoken, you sound like you could have been a motivational speaker, you are a great storyteller
Thanks
I remember when Troy passed. I was working at a neighborhood recreation center for the summer and Heavy D and the Boyz was scheduled to come in concert. That concert got cancelled because he died. I always heard that he was horseplaying on the ramp. Troy was my favorite. They later came that December with Hammer. Thank you for giving the real story. Sad story but good memories.
I remember going to see Heavy D and the boys, Kid n Play, Salt n Pepa and Rob Base as a teen. One week later I heard of the death of Trouble T Roy....I was so hurt cause I loved me some Heavy D and the Boys
This story is so sad. 😥😥😥 I remember hearing the news about his passing when I was young but never knew the story behind it. Still breaks my heart. 💔💔💔
I get so amped when you drop a video, when Trouble T died,it hit me hard,as if I knew him personally
Can't wait for more of these Accidental Demise stories soon!!
I remember when they had that accident commercial with them to crash dummies.
The next day, the tour stopped in Detroit. I remember Chuck D telling the audience Troy had just passed away.
I remember this happening as a child. I didn't know much about the accident, interested in hearing about this.
Hi Celebrity Underrated! This is truly a sad story. Your content is worth the time, energy, and hard work. I feel like I've just watched a big-ticket film. Keep up the great work!!!
I was just saying to myself, 'i always thought he fell off the stage'...good to know I'm not the only 1 who thought it
I deeply appreciate this video. T.R.O.Y is a classic in the hip hop community and I didn't know Troy story or how important he was. But you felt it in that song that we all lost somebody
Brother keep them coming please 💯💯💯
Yes! Hiphop historian more than a RUclips blogger 💯👑❤👀🍿☕
I remember when Trouble T-Roy died. I've always thought he fell off the stage from dancing. At least that was the rumor that was going around.
I was hurt when it happen . Now I see what really happen . 😢😢😢
That’s what I heard too. I am glad he clarified this up.
You definitely gotta do a Heavy D 1 now dying for music 🙏🏾
I been begging like Keith Sweat for that one lol
So unfortunate. If this would had happened today that person would had been charged.
Most Definitely.
My guy! You always on time fam. This was dope as usual. Never be another was my brother Trouble T.ROY! They Reminisce..
UTFO's Kangol Kid and Doctor Ice started out dancing for Whodini. Continue to R.I.P T-Roy.
He die at the age of 22 dang...
May he rest in peace
I remember this like it was yesterday. I was always involved with concerts and party promotions as a DJ in Indianapolis, where I was born & raised. I remember we were all waiting at the Tyndall Armory waiting for the concert participants and the crowd to appear, when the word came about what had happened to T-roy. It was a sad day for hip-hop & for Indianapolis.
It's crazy I listen to "peaceful journey" and "reminisce over you" all the time.. and didn't know the story behind the 2 songs.. wow RIP TROY
And as the day's drift drift into the future I laugh a Lil louder at the times that I was with you this is for you and I truly hope you hear me throughout the travels im wishing you a peaceful journey rip trouble troy💪🏿💯 fun fact did you know that was jodeci singing background on that song
I was soo hell bent on knowing his story & how he really died! Cause the way The late great Heavy D use to talk about him in interviews & the way I read on it still mysterious to me! #R.I.P Trouble T-Roy!
Legendary Heavy D and The Boyz 🥺🙏🏽 🌹 🤍 💡
How do you have only 117K subscribers? Talk about underrated
Great run down on the group Heavy D and the boys! I actually went to school with those guys at MT. Vernon High School, and was outside in the school court yard battling with rapping or hitting a table, or desk for a beat! At that time in school I was known as Aretha Bristow’ who played as a freshman on the girls basketball team! Heavy D would be rapping, me and my friend name Josette Brown would switch from rapping to singing a song ‘ like Play Another Slow Jam to out do them ‘ Lol ! But ‘ Heavy D and the boys became famous and we didn’t! Great story!
I was in high school when T-Roy passed. I can vaguely remember the announcement of his death. I know for me, I knew more of Heav than the other guys, but, after this event I learned of the other members. Heav & the Boys were HOT for a good minute back then. Especially before this event with T-Roy losing his life. May T-Roy & Heav continue to Rest In POWER 💪✊🌞💯
The fight story about TRoy and C.L. remind me of back in the days when we would fight and parents came and made us hug it out and we become best friends , good times, R.I.P to them 😔❤🕊🕊🕊
"I believe Kwame is the first rapper, to bring polka dot clothing to the rap game. And I remember when Heavy.D performed in 1987, we watched Trouble T-Roy dance, on top of England stadium concert speaker. This was in Chattanooga Tennessee. Days Later, we heard Trouble T-Roy, fell off stage and broke his neck. It happened while they was on tour. I still have all my 80's concert tickets. From LL cool j radio tour, Big Daddy Kane, Salt & Peppa, E.U, Wu-Tang clan, Doug.e fresh & Slick Rick, 2 live crew, Too Short, kid & Play, Eric B & Rakim, jazzy Jeff & The fresh Prince, MC Lyte, U.T.F.O & Roxanne Shante, Heavy D & The Fat boys tour, Whodini, N.W.A, Kool Moe Dee, E.P.M.D, Public enemy, KRS-1 & Scott la Rock, The Skinny boys, Biz Markie, MC Hammer & Oak Town 357 to Ice .T Colors tour. And those shoes with the gold tips, was called patent leathers"🤷🏾♂️
Why I was so into what you were saying, I almost answered you like you’re right in front of me talking!!! I truly enjoy watching your videos Sounds like we’re having a conversation. Keep up the good work!
Ezel from Friday would be a good one for Accidental Demise
Yes! His story was crazy and sad
Yes
I wonder who it was that pushed the dumpster?? The guilt must have ate that person alive.
🤔 Have you ever heard about “sacrifices” for success? Since learning about that, I’ve become skeptical about all celebrity deaths. At first, it was reported that he fell off the stage; then it was a dumpster accident. Which one is it? I’m not saying it wasn’t an accident, but I do remember that…well…Heav starting acting and getting more “career success” after Troy died. We can only wonder what really happened. 😐
@@CodyCole80 HUH? OMG😳😳😳I didn’t know there was >1 story circulating and that definitely sounds suspicious. Then Heavy loses all this weight AND STILL died. I hope those things aren’t linked, but at least they’re both @ peace💔💔💔Crazy shit man
@@CodyCole80sure have heard about it n he sure did start being in movies n shows
Lesson of the day, there's a time and place for everything! Too much goofy behavior could lead to these kinds of tragedies.
Facts
They were also young then, so it was expected to see young successful celebrities especially rappers/singers/Dancers, goofing around some after performances
Rest peacefully to both Trouble T-Roy & Heavy D. My pre teen years
t.r.o.y. is definitely one of my favorite songs in life ever!!! i still get emotional when i listen to it.. til this very day....... peace and love to heavy d and trouble t roy!! salud!!!
I was at the concert in Indianapolis when he fell it was tragic RIP
Wow that's crazy
His Family have the right to know everything from beginng to End
Very good story. I used to LOVE Heavy D! He was the first fat fly dude ❤️
He really was. Some people think it’s Biggie, nah! It’s Heavy D.
We Got Our Own Thing is what introduce to me to Heavy D... I was at Summer Camp I think it was Summer of 88 and these girls danced to the song for the talent show. I was hooked.
Song came out in 1989
Rest in Heavenly peace Trouble T-Roy and Heavy D🙏🙏🙏
You finally did this one my Brother after so so many asked besides myself for you to do it I couldn’t wait to watch it peace and love to you my Brother and it’s crazy I live in Indianapolis now and that arena where t Roy had his incident no longer exists.
RIP TROUBLE T ROY...when I was a kid you was the one I had a crush on 😔🙏
😲! Now this story is complete! Now I 🙈 why how important Troy was to the group, he's a fun guy to be around and he was a peacemaker when sh-t got thick! Now that's what a friend supposed to be! Like Aaliyah said in an interview one time that there needs to be more friendships to have! But these days it's not that easy like it was before. Definitely found this story informative but very 😢! Rip Troy, 2Pac, Aaliyah, and Heavy D😔🙏!
I thank you for breaking this story down, I too grew up in the best era (80's & 90's) and never knew the whole incident behind T Roy's death..
He and Heavy D are truly missed.
I remember heavy d & The Boyz they used to be one of my favorite rap group before Bone Thugs-N-Harmony came NWA
Busting down my Thanksgiving leftovers watching. Happy Holidays brother ✌🏾
Me too!
That’s some final destination ish
For real 😳
Bless his soul. Who actually pushed the dumpster down the ramp?
They'll probably never tell that. Everybody would probably hate that person.
Somebody must've seen who pushed it. Talk about survivor's guilt
They will never reveal that...
They need to be quiet because I think the other two members don't need to talk . You know how the industry do. I know it's not fair to his family. I be scared for any artist out here now. Things be so scary in this industry. I love music too. God knows everything.
@Colors 4All it was one of Kid N’ Play’s backup dancer’s. Kid said it in Vlad that one of his backup dancer’s use to pull malicious pranks on them. Look up the video on here called Tupac with kid n play. They’re jumping this guy who pulled a prank on them.
Love these Accidental Demise stories so much
I do too 🤍🤍🙏🏽🙂
Thank you!!! Your content is amazing!!! You break it down so smooth. I will be looking forward to another video.
Thank you for making my day with this
Entanglement ( Short film) coming soon A Rashad Burnett film Only RUclips 🎬
Who Rolled the trash can? This cast needs to be reopened so the person or persons can be PROSECUTED . if it wasnt for the trash can he would still ne ALIVE PERIOD. FIND OUT WHO ROLLED THE TRASH CAN
Thank you for this. I remember this brother; he was the one that stood out the most in the back. I clicked 👍🏾 before you even started speaking.
Thank u for sending this!
Remember the song by Guy called "Long Gone"? Another song that paid homage to T-Roy and others that had died from the genre.
Rest In Peace Troy
Rest In Peace Heavy D
Rest In Peace Andre Harrell
Thank you hope your Thanksgiving day was a happy one ☝️ I’ve never clicked on this fast in my life ewe asked for it and you produced it you understood the assignment
I remember when Trouble T Roy died it was the summer of 1990. I was so sad. A few weeks after he passed Heavy D & the Boyz, Public Enemy, Kid N' Play, Queen Latifah and Digital Underground came to Miami. And, Heavy D did a tribute to Trouble T Roy. He said Trouble T Roy loved to dance to “The Overweight Lovers In The House” RIP Trouble T Roy 🙏🏽♥️
Another interesting and well researched video ❤
It's funny how for so long I grew up thinking they were doing a video and he was dancing to close to edge and fell. But I still feel it's more to the story. Because the story didn't stay the same. But glad you covered it
Awesome story, I always wondered about this as well I'm glad your back been waiting patiently for more of your stories
Oh wow! I actually requested for this story. I like to say you read my comment. 😁😁😁
Could you do one on Shock G please!!!!
When They Reminisce Over You, my God.. 🙏🏿
I remember hearing two different stories as a kid: one he fell off stage and the other he broke his neck while spinning on his head. Now all these years later, I learn the truth. Still sad either way. 🙏🏾❤
On the Unsung episode for Heavy D they described this incident the same way you did.
Damn, I remember this! Rest easy Trouble T Roy!!!! Rest easy Heavy D! Damn. Sad story.
I always heard he fell off the stage. Thanks for doing this story. I remember being crushed by his death. Hearing the truth made it worse. I know whomever pushed that dumpster felt that! So sad
Thank you for this video brother...I always thought he fell of the stage too as a kid...but 30 feet onto concrete? Man whoever that was who pushed that dumpster changed hip hop forever honestly & has that guilt forever...my father loved heavy D & i vaguely remembered hearing about the T-Roy story but never knew the specifics...this brother was truly loved & respected. Back when hip hop was still truly fun & you could be goofy without being considered corny or lame.
I didn't realize the impact his presence had & how beloved he was until watching your video. Man I just realized T.R.O.Y was made for him & Pete Rock is Heavy D cousin too.
I remember reading about this. Very tragic. Thank you for covering his death.❤️
RIP Trouble T-Roy thanks for all the dance moves and sharing them with the world. RIP to Heavy D too!! You both are missed.
Thank you for this video I was waiting on this one for a long time
As a kid coming up and being a dancer in a Rap group. I was definitely influenced by Glen and God bless Troy! Rewinding videos over and over mesmerized by the way they graced the stage. And I can’t forget to mention the way, even being as big as he was Hev was so light on his feet and would not be outshined. He gave along with the BOYZ a 100% through out the show, them alone was worth the ticket price! Moving along , when I heard the horrific news of the passing of one my favorite entertainers , I couldn’t believe it! 😢it felt as if I had lost a close friend or family member! I remember how you could see the pain all over the faces of Hev and what was left of the crew! That’s when I would practice even harder because I was with all due respect going to make my business to dance in his place not replace him how could you replace someone as great he was? But represent and do my best to achieve a goal while honoring a figure I’ve always held in a higher regard! Moving forward, I couldn’t believe it I found myself in the legendary town of Money earning Mount Vernon! Although I held in the excitement I was experiencing, my mind was racing with overwhelming joy! I was actually and possibly walking in the invisible footsteps of individuals I had admired so many times on television. Most of all my long time mentor and teacher Troy! I along with my big brother went to a barber shop but not just any barber shop the great John Harold, located third and Columbus in Mount Vernon. New York on the corner well almost on the corner. That was the place where at the time and unbeknownst to me it was the SPOT everyone would chill and hang out there even if you weren’t waiting for a cut from either one of the masters that would perform art on a eager customer. I would watch everyone leave after forcing themselves from admiring the finished results again everyone , even the hardest gangsters would at those moments wear a pleased smile across their faces where most times wore a gangster grill. I never went wrong with the eventually, barber to the stars Mike Daddy and if I was in a hurry, Mr John Harold owner, and Barbar himself would cut my hair. I always felt like brand new money no matter which one cut it. Then it happened it was around noon on a nice spring day just chilly enough to rock a fly light spring jacket you been dying to show off when you purchased it on sale for the low because it was out of season! I seated by the door taking in all the stories that if your lucky goes on in a lot of shops . Then something for whatever reason caught my attention towards the glass door! Damn now that’s a fly whip, I recall saying to myself. It was a metallic light blue or baby blue SC 400 Lexus ! The sun was dancing off the chrome rims as it pulled up to curb in front of the entrance to the Shop. That’s when I was taken off guard, but more than one reason. See what happened next I just couldn’t logically understand how the person commanding the driver seat looked nice and snug however it just didn’t seem possible that the giant exiting the vehicle look to be much too big to look so comfortable and something so small! That Big person was none other than the overweight lover, Mr. big stuff himself D a.k.a. Dwight Myers! Good people as he pushed open the door to the shop. I was actually starstruck then you will not believe what happened next. He reached his hand out to give me a poem, and said what’s up to me he just gave me a palm and said what’s up, I stuttered and uttered some Type of noise crap from my throat to this day I meant to say what up but it came out sounding nothing like what up and my brother just laughed. He knew how much I admired the man and his team. I never did the courage to ask if I could have the honor and the pleasure of Dancing or attempting to dance for as his second dancer and a little after that I had heard that he would not take on anyone any in the place of Troy anyway and I definitely respect it because again, how could anyone replace such a huge, gigantic, charismatic character, such as trouble T Roy!? Thank you have and the boys for being such a positive huge part of my life one of the happier times of my life rest in peace to family ! Long live Hev and Troy! Thank you those that allowed me to share this with you and for all the errors and mistakes I do apologize!
