Damnit.

"Hip-hop legend Heavy D died Tuesday afternoon after collapsing on the walkway outside his Beverly Hills home, according to authorities. He was pronounced dead Tuesday in the emergency room at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. It was reported by The Times' Andrew Blankstein that Heavy D may have died of complications related to pneumonia, authorities said."

Unlike most of the clowns in the entertainment industry that have overinflated egos and less than stellar talent Heavy D was humble and treated people with respect. And he made some fun music. RIP Heavy D.

Since he didn't die in a rap battle, does that mean he won't get into hip-hop valhalla?

It almost makes me think it's a codeword for something else.

Maybe it is Anorexia, since the last star to die of pneumonia was Brittany Murphy...

Heavy D died of Anorexia. Irony?

Just because he was fat at one time, it does not mean that is exactly what killed him.

It'd still be ironic... kind of like if the Red Baron died in a CAR crash.

I do not know this man. Maybe he was called Heavy D because he spoke on weighty topics..?
