RIP: Legendary rapper Dwight Arrington Myers — better known as Heavy D — passed away today at the age of 44.

The former frontman of hip hop pioneers Heavy D & the Boyz was rushed to an LA hospital near his Beverly Hills home around noon, and was reportedly awake at the time. However, he was pronounced dead soon after arrival.

Police have launched an investigation, but foul play is not suspected at this time.

D found mainstream success with the 1991 hit single “Now That We Found Love.” The group remained popular throughout the early 90s, peaking with 1994’s Nuttin’ But Love, which hit #1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The Boyz and D went their separately ways shortly thereafter.

Heavy D, who found some solo success in the late 90s, recently returned to the charts after adding reggae to his repertoire.

I was spanked by good, well-meaning, parents a handful of times as a child. But I don’t spank my kids. I’ve felt like it. But I feel like doing things all day long that I don’t act on.

I also don’t let my toddlers bounce around the backseat without a seatbelt, or leave them alone in the car while I do errands, or drive with them after having several cocktails, or sit them in a room filled with cigarette smoke for hours – all of which were totally normal when I was coming up.

When you know better, you should do better. Just because something was common in my childhood doesn’t make it right.
