there are few people who are known as an entertainer - rapper, dancer, singer, actor, producer, writer...he was known for all of those things. listening to the westwood interview, he produced hits for other rappers, and produced what is known by most to be a classic song - summer rain by carl thomas. 8 pages of replies and not a single bad thing said about him....he defined an era of music and was still producing relevant content. tonight I am saddened by this man's full and true potential only being partially realized. r.i.p. to a legend.
Didn't pay attn to this as that's my joint from '00 as it drove this album into your bones
Heavy had that kat dig deep & bring it home.
That track's amazing!
True soulful pioneer with something burning inside that had to come out one way or the other despite & thanks to wild assed times.
Setting standards these kats don't even realize that they maybe emulating.
Fuck beef, Heav had Pac & Puff before the impact of the $, egos, power & fame dancing to his music, loving hip hop.
& NOBODY had the meaner chicks in his videoes in the 90s than this man, setting the standards through his expressions.
The raw
NASTY street version
blended with the '88/89 clubbed out version
CLASSIC
Him & Troy, clowns, chicks, everybody goin SICK
up in there during the patentleather/rubber sole, vest/knickers/Gear house hip hop shit that the music had us acting
TeddyRiley @ his best
That vid captured how we were getting it in 88-90
AINT No More "RappinAcrobat" kats even trying to get it in like that anymore.
& C Breezy & the BEPs are the only ones nice enough who cold feel it & properly pay hommage to what that man brought forth with his energy.
D Influenced kats like young fam to rep the set
Classic, One of a Kind Legendary Influence
Nasty
