Heavy D Cause of Death: Died of Pulmonary Embolism

I nearly died from pulmonary embolism a few months ago. Reading a story like this makes me realize how lucky I am to be alive.

People can say what they want, but when you go through or are close too a serious medical problem such as this, you gain a lot of perspective on life.

I know nothing of this mans professional or personal life but my condolences go out to him and his family.

I have been reading these childish, immature, ignorant comments made by people who are obviously has not grasp the idea of respect. The article was about one of the first rap artist that did not have to cuss and drop the f bomb evry other word. He felt that it wasnt neccessary in order to express yourself. Please young people, being disrespectful to the dead or living is not right and im sure your mother taught you better than that.
Heavy was a husband and a father. He was someones father. For those that have fathers what if it was your father. This is whats wrong with todays youth. No respect.

You all need to return to elementary school and learn how to spell and edit

Heavy D you where a great rapper. I am very sad to hear of your passing. May God great you in the kingdom of heaven personally! &for all you hater's leave the poor man alone remember god don't like ugly.

I gurantee these idiots that write all this **** on the internet about blacks and mexicans or any other race dont have the balls to say or write **** accept on the internet hiding behind their stupid call sign lets lobby the internet to show the face and address of anyone saying derogitory remarks of others and all the **** talking will stop and they can go back to ******* thier sisters and brothers in the trailer park and sniff gas

To be honest what is scary is many think in an ignorant fashion in America. Racism didn't die with Obama's election and win of the chair. It was just a hush up and led Americans to think we are actually evolving as a people. Sad truth many people run around with closet racism in their hearts. Karma has a way of working it out we must pray and think positive and work towards a better future and stand up like folks are doing on here for the right. God bless the haters they need it most.

I am amazed at these comments.... This is why other countries view us as idiots.... Ignorant people like "Pablo" and "MonkeyStink" I seriously hope that you remember these awful and ignorant comments you're making because tragedy does not discreminate and when it strikes you it just might be someone black, mexican, or asian, that save you or your family....

REST IN PEACE HEAVY D

This is a little history lesson for "MonkeyStink" who posted this ridiculous statement..THE REASON THE NIGGRUH SUB-SPECIES IS SO FAR BEHIND ALL OTHER RACES IN THE EVOLOUTIONARY PROCESS IS BECAUSE OF THEIR CONSTANT INBREEDING OVER THE PAST 10,000 YEARS.
So since you are obviously ill informed I thought I would help you out.. Oh and remember every time you eat a potato chip remember we created that too...
