    Dwight Errington Myers (born May 24, 1967), better known as Heavy D, is a Jamaican American actor, rapper, singer and former leader of Heavy D & the Boyz, a hip hop group which included G-Whiz (Glen Parrish), "Trouble" T. Roy (Troy Dixon), and Eddie F (born Edward Ferrell). The group maintained a sizable audience in the United States through most of the 1990s. He has recently ventured into reggae music and can now be described as a reggae fusion artist.
    Myers was born on May 24, 1967 in Jamaica. His family moved to Mount Vernon, New York, when he was a young child.
    Heavy D & the Boyz were the first group signed to Uptown Records; their debut, Living Large, was released in 1987. The album was a commercial success, though Big Tyme was a breakthrough that included four hits. Trouble T. Roy died at age 22 in a fall on July 15, 1990, in Indianapolis. Dixon's passing led to a tribute on the follow-up platinum album, Peaceful Journey. Pete Rock & CL Smooth created a tribute to Trouble T. Roy called "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)" which is regarded as a hip-hop classic.
    Heavy D & the Boyz gained even more fame by singing the theme song for the television program In Living Color and also MADtv, and Heavy D performed the rap on Michael Jackson's hit single "Jam." However, the group's next album, Blue Funk, was not marketed as well as their previous albums[citation needed], but is widely viewed as an underrated gem.[citation needed] Heavy D then began focusing on his acting, appearing in the television shows A Different World, Roc and Living Single before returning the music charts with Nuttin' But Love. After appearing in the off-Broadway play Riff Raff at Circle Repertory Company, Heavy D returned to recording with the hit Waterbed Hev.[1] In 2005, the Will Smith movie Hitch played the song "Now That We Found Love" during the ending scene where a wedding party does a line dance, and gave Heavy D & the Boyz a lot of exposure, sending many viewers to the web to find out more about the song and the group.
    He then appeared in the film Life, before being in the cast of the television show Boston Public. In 2002, Heavy D had a supporting role as an FBI agent alongside Omar Epps in the movie adaptation of Dave Barry's novel Big Trouble. In 2003 he starred in the supporting cast for the sit-com The Tracy Morgan Show as Bernard. In 1997, Heavy D collaborated with B.B. King on his duets album Deuces Wild rapping in the song "Keep It Coming." He also has a small role in the 1999 Oscar-nominated movie The Cider House Rules. In 2005, Heavy D appeared as Sid in the hit Fox drama Bones, as the owner and bartender at Wong Fu's. In 2006, he appeared in the motion picture, Step Up, as Omar. Heavy D also appeared as Bo-Kane in the 1995 film New Jersey Drive. Heavy D has now released a new reggae album via iTunes, called Vibes.
    Heavy D was referred to in the song "Juicy" by the Notorious B.I.G. and in " Da Girls They Love Me" by underground rapper R.A. the Rugged Man. He also appears as the bouncer in the music video for "One More Chance" by Notorious B.I.G. In the song "Choppa on Da Back Seat" by Lil Wyte he says that " I got Heavy D Tied up on my couch, Face down with a rifle wound bleeding out his mouth".
    Heavy D also played a part in the film "Big Trouble" as an FBI agent.

      That's because they can't find there own individuality. Always have to outdo one another and show "I'm better than you" with everything. There should be no competition, no shootings, no hating. But then again, I know who creates, feed, ignite and controls all of this behavior. No positive focus whatsoever🙁

Now I'm going to be bugging out about the coincidence with these numbers. Been seeing them too many times. I don't expect you to understand my crazy thoughts but I'm just saying.
      Blessings 🙏

      It's nice that Heavy D was like that, but the 90s weren't exactly averse to violent, misogynistic, homophobic, etc lyrics. Likewise there are some rappers around now that have more responsible and intelligent lyrics. Some of the older rappers seem to have changed their attitudes and lyrics too.

    [Intro: Heavy D]
    This one definitely goes out on a censorship tip
    So everybody sit back, relax and have a champagne sip
    We gonna teach these people out there who are against saying what we want to say the right way
    Y'know what I'm saying?
    So what we're gonna do is kick back, swing a little funky beat by my man DJ Pete Rock, producer extraordinaire
    Yo Pete Rock, make it clear
    [Verse 1: Heavy D]
    I can flex, bend, lend a pen to a friend
    Keep a party pimpin' from now to then
    I don't have to swear, curse or juggle
    Lyrics in the verse to make a party bubble
    So Mister Censorship, tell me, what's your problem
    There's girlies on the corner if wifey can't solve 'em
    How did she say it? I'm curious, G
    Does she say, "Honey, love me" or "Baby, baby, fun me"
    Anyway, we say what we wanna say
    Play how we wanna play, feels good that way
    So G Rap, huh, it's time to kick a verse
    Do your man a favor and don't curse
    [Interlude: Biz Markie sample]
    Kool G. Rap in the house x4
    [Verse 2: Kool G. Rap]
    You're telling me don't curse on a verse, they did it worse
    First I put a curse on every verse
    I kind of got outrageous
    Check it, even made a record on how I'm doing on the B-I-T-C-Hes
    Ducks, it wasn't for the bucks
    Every word that you heard is 'cause I didn't give a f-, aw shucks
    Ayo, I almost forgot
    The curse is a plot but it's getting kinda hot
    So I'ma let profanity retire, hey
    But if worse comes to worse, I'll cuss you out like Richard Pryor
    So Grand Puba, kick a verse
    But do your man a favor and don't curse
    [Interlude: Grand Puba sample]
    Grand Puba's on the rhyme x4
    [Verse 3: Grand Puba]
    Don't curse, bust it
    I won't curse, I'll take a famous curse word and just say kcuf
    Kcuf flipped around the other way means ha
    Boy, when I do, I see, I can't get stuck
    Jump on the mic then I earn a quick buck
    Buck meaning loot, then I grab some boots
    And set with my troops
    For those who can't follow and got stuck
    Kcuf flipped the other way means ahem, hem hem
    It's just a curse, I freaked a nurse in a hearse
    But I made sure I had my hat first
    (CL Smooth) It's time to kick a verse
    God cypher divine, we can't curse
    [Interlude: CL Smooth sample]
    CL Smooth, right to left x4
    [Verse 4: CL Smooth]
    Go ahead ask me, would I kick a curse in a verse, I say nope
    Grab you by your hand, wash your mouth out wit soap
    Thinking to be the last one with the bad lingo
    Scooping on the skinz in the church playing bingo
    Sounds of the Mecca don fresh from the tailor
    Because they made a movie when he cussed like a sailor
    Better yet, dialect dirty like a subway
    Freaking for your loot, here to make it go the other way
    In a vocabulary scrimmage
    But cursing in my village ain't good for my image
    So Big Daddy, you know it's time to kick a verse
    But do your man a favor, don't curse
    [Interlude: Biz Markie Sample]
    Big Daddy
    Big Daddy
    Big Daddy
    My man, my mellow, get on the mic 'cause you know you eat Jello
    [Verse 5: Big Daddy Kane]
    Uh, the smooth rap inventor that enter
    Parental discretion's not advised so there's no need to censor
    Kids wanna peep it, but you want to beep it, what?
    I feel like slapping that sticker on your (chill chill, see)
    I'm too magical, rhymes are too tragical
    For any source to stop Kane from getting capital
    If I thought sticking me was dissing me
    Man, don't you know that this would be
    Worse than Stephen King's Misery
    So clean all profanity, still and yet all the man'll be
    Rocking any microphone you're handing me
    So Heavy D, I'm about to disperse
    So kick another verse and don't forget not to curse
    [Interlude: Heavy D talks]
    Ayo Big Daddy, check this out
    I'm about to do some old sly, slick, smooth on the trick tip stuff
    I'ma bring in my little cousin, the producer of this joint
    His name is DJ Pete Rock, definitely part of, one of the family
    You know what I'm sayin', G?
    And he about to flex on this here mic and get busy like his big cousin
    You know what I'm sayin'? Check it
    Pete Rock, kick a verse but don't curse
    [Verse 6: Pete Rock]
    God bless but I can't mess around with the curses
    So I'ma kick verses, or a verse
    Soul Brother Number One here to kick facts
    Smoke the microphone and produce crazy tracks
    Yo, I'm a bad bro, let's start the flow
    I'ma kick rhymes 'til it's time for me to go
    I can't curse 'cause Heavy D said so
    Now I'ma get back to the subject, get wreck
    If you think I'm bluffing, just check
    With the crew, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, very down to earth
    And we didn't have to curse
    [Interlude: Q-Tip]
    Yeah, man, the Abstract poet
    Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest here to wreck
    You know what I'm sayin'?
    Got my man Pete Rock and my man Heavy D in the house
    And we're definitely chilling on the lifted tip
    So bust the stidyle, aha
    [Verse 7: Q-Tip]
    Flim flam flim, lick my big black stuff
    Must I kick a curse to be rough enough?
    You can put the sticker where the sun don't shine
    So back off and let me get mine
    Visions in my head when it's dealing wit hits
    If I had four girls then I'll lick eight -its
    Wait, don't wanna hear no drama
    'Cause the bum diddly Hev is a fave of my mama's
    So I'll blue out and get mad lifted
    Don't have to say -uck to show that I'm gifted
    God bless me 'cause I reach my 21st
    Heavy D, don't drop a curse
    [Verse 8: Heavy D]
    Peace, peace, peace to the preacher
    I'm talking about a verse without a curse that's how I reach ya
    I can rock a party without a swear or a harsh verb
    Backwards, no curse words, Heavy D prefers
    So swing, swing to the soapy clean rhythm
    Before I say goodbye, let me tell ya how I hit 'em
    CL, Pete Rock, G Rap, Maxwell
    Big Daddy, Q-Tip, and uh, me as well
    Time to say peace, thank Pete for the beats
    This funky beat was made for the street
    Notice how clean that we kept every verse
    But if worst came to worst (We'da all said a curse)
    [Outro]
    Free Slick Rick, x11
