#6 R.I.P. Heavy D

On November 8 2011, rap legend Heavy D died at the age of 44. Before he the rapper tweeted "Be Inspired." Even though i never heard any of his songs and know nothing about him, so i did my research. Heavy was known for his playful nature and was also know to inject insightful lyrics and socially conscious messages in his songs. Even though he was "oversize" he embraced it.People say, "He was romantic and inspirational", and how he was "a big-boy playboy". He turned the look of a oversize rapper out from a gimmick. He also made it easier for other oversize rappers, such as Biggie Smalls, to make it into main stream.

In the song "Self Destruction" ,in which he said:
A-yo, here's the situation: idodicy
Nonsense,violence,not a good policy
Therefore,we must ignore,fightin' and fussin'
Heavy's at the door so there'll be no bum-rushing.
This song was made after two people were shot and later was revised into the 2008 version and a 2009 version.

Heavy D wasn't afraid to tell the world he's over weight so he wrote a song called "The Oversized Lovers In The House".

Even though Heavy was popular he only won one award. Last month he appeared on the BET Hip Hop Awards,his return to mainstream in over fifth-teen years. In september he released his ninth album. If only I found out about Heavy earlier,because just reading stuff about him and how he influenced hip hop and over weight people he's like a hero to people. To wrap things up, on November 8, hip hop one of its noticeable icons. To conclude this blog all I want to say is R.I.P. Heavy D, you will be miss.
