The day after the tragic death of Michael Jackson, Heavy D stopped by the Morning After w/ Angela Yee and talked about what it was like to work with the icon.
Michael Jackson is a genius who knows who is best to work with and who isn't. Michael only works with the best. After working with Michael there isn't anywhere else you can go that can compare. No entertainer can say that they are inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, the Songwriter's Hall of Fame, and the Dance Hall of Fame, sold 850 million records, awarded with 739 plus Presidential Awards, and is honored by the Guinness Book of World Records for: 1. winning a record breaking 8 Grammies in one year 2. Thriller the biggest selling record EVER with 104 million sold. 3. Best concert series Wembley Stadium selling 7 day 540,000 people. Heavy D and Biggie both worked with Michael and their work was incredible!
I am heartbroken to hear of the recent loss of one of my favorite artist of ALL TIME!! As a young teenager, Heavy D stood out (and always will) because he kept it clean, and his beats were banging! He truly deserved all the success his career afforded him...what a talented soul. Heavy D will be greatly missed. Love ya, Heavy! I really adored Heavy D......."cuz thats how you living when you live in living color!"
RIP Michael and Heavy. Thank you both for the memories and the love and of the awesome music you both put out there. Music which continues to inspire the next generation of artists
We've lost too many celebrities. John Lennon, Marvin Gaye, Selena, 2Pac, Biggie Smalls, Lisa Left Eye Lopes, Anna Nicole Smith, Michael Jackson, Eazy-E, Nate Dogg, Big Punisher, Heavy D, Whitney Houston, among many others, all of whom have died.
YES, Michael did work with Biggie. Michael had Biggie on 2 of his songs. One called "This Time Around" and "Unbreakable." And When Michael won 3 MTV awards in 1995, Biggie even came up on the stage with Michael to celebrate his winnings. PLEASE do your research ;0) Or just look for the videos here on UA-cam.
@pnmdmd So as a muslim there is no promise of peace in the next life (this is what it seems like you are saying when you say you can only pray that a muslim will have peace in the next life)?
MAAAAN .......If that's how it happened ..... Teddy should have been breakin off Hev BIG TIME for making that connect for him! He basically put him in the door with MJ! That's networking at its finest! I'm sadden at the loss of MJ and Hev! Especially after that GREAT performance at the BET hip-hop awards. I was kid all over again the way I was bouncing around the living room!
HEAVY D is lying....thats not how he got to work with Michael Jackson. It was Eddie Murphy that recommended Michael Jackson to work with Teddy Riley,and it was Teddy Riley that worked on JAM that suggested using Heavy D for the rap part.....Heavy D is a chump in real life and screwed over the r&b group Soul 4 Real.....remember candy rain. UA-cam their story.
