    People really don't know the man, but Heavy D was really such a Classy, Classy guy. A real Gentleman. Great manners, strong, true man.

    I'm so glad that Heavy got an opportunity to perform on the BET Awards before his death. The younger generation got an opportunity to see why we all fell in love with him in the first place. RIP Heavy. Prayers to your family, especially your daughter.

    Heavy D should be talked about a lot more than he is. Folks really don't know the span of his success. I remember being on the elementary school bus and hearing Heavy D through the bus speakers. I grew up in Hawaii so it was a huge deal to hear any rap on the radio there. Back then, most musicians remained local because there wasn't any XM radio. Heavy D was the man. I would hear him and MC Hammer on the radio. #Salute He danced and rapped. And it was cool. Thanks Heavy D 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

    Heavy D was and will always be one of our most respected and classy acts to have ever entered the business. Not only that, he was a humble, smart and caring dude and loved and provided for his mom, like a son should! Love and condolences goes out to his family, friends, true fans and close associates! He's another one gone waaaay too son!

    True Pioneer, u dun kno
    Jamaican's are the founding fathers of Hip hop
    Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, Chubb rock, Heavy D, Peppa, Kid, Special ED
    Slick Rick, Pete Rock, KRS, & Gil Scott Heron (RIP) all have Jamaican heritage.
    Thenext gen took it up a level
    Biggie, Busta Rhymes, Canibus, Smiff & wesson, Luke, Bushwick Bill, Will.i.am
    just to name a few.
    So people need to realise the influence the island of Jamaica has had on the world.
    Jamaican's Rise up, We can do it.
