Livin' Large

If you dismiss Heavy D. as only being the guy who rapped the In Living Color theme song, then you are doing yourself a disservice. The Money earnin' Mount Vernon native, along with the Fat Boys, made it possible for fatties everywhere to gain respect for their talent rather than their smooth looks, as evidenced on funk strong songs like Chunky But Funky, The Overweight Lover's In The House, and Overweighter, the latter which samples ABC by the Jackson 5.


But it's not all about the calories - this is just a pure fun party album, much in the vein of lighthearted fare like Nice and Smooth's debut. Cuts like On The Dance Floor, Mr Big Stuff (remix), and Moneyearnin' Mount Vernon will put a smile on your face thinking about how rap used to be. Producers include Teddy Riley (who along with Heavy D helped usher in the New Jack Swing era), Marley Marl, and Al B Sure.


One more thing - I'd be remiss in not mentioning the name of this blog comes from Pete Rock and CL Smooth's dedication to Trouble T Roy, one of Heavy D's dancers who died on tour in 1990. RIP

Sample Compilation 4

This time we start off with one of the greatest intros for a rap song ever."Strange Games and Things" by Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra. EPMD immortalized this song on their banger of an album,"Business As Usual". K-Def also used it effectively for the Real Live joint off of the "High School High" soundtrack. Then, check out the Maze track that Money Boss used, 10 minutes of smoothed out soul that gets pretty heavy 6 minutes in. "Is It Because I'm Black" is another one of those Civil Rights era songs that still holds weight today. Moving along, another beautiful piece of work by the late great Minnie Riperton. I got to say I like No ID's sampling of this the best. And,lastly,we wrap this mix up with one of my favorite RIP dedications ever, Gangstarr's "In Memory of..". Primo chopped the original song up lovely, and Guru delivers some choice story telling rhymes. Enjoy and stay tuned...
