CD Reviews

The Overweight Lover is STILL in the House
K. Hines | Washington, DC | 09/13/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Not too many hip hop artists have stood the test of time. Many have fallen by the bling-bling wayside, but Heavy D has been consistent over the years and this greatest hits package shows it. Heavy's music has always been fun and about having a good time. Whether he's rapping about coming from Money Earnin' Mount Vernon, falling in love, or being the quintessential Overweight Lover, he has some of the most classic hip hop songs. As a matter of fact, this could have been a double CD package because there are many songs off his albums that weren't released as singles and therefore weren't hits in the classic sense of the word, but were all that nonetheless. Now Heavy D & the Boyz have moved on to separate endeavors, but their songs live on. Thanks Heavy D & The Boyz for 13 years of great music!"
Great Hits CD For Beginners

"I you were the type back in the day that bought all the 12 inch singles (which there were plenty of back in tha day), but not the albums, then you'll love this as a starter joint. To my amazement, they added "You Can't See What I Can't See" which was released as a single but never put on an lp.



All songs take me back in the day when life was simpler and less complicated and all you had to worry about was having your 3.99 at "The Wiz" for the next album or .99 for the next 12 inch single. Like all greatest hits cd's, there are always gonna be some curious omissions and additions which prevented me from giving it 5 stars.



First the omissions, I'm curious as to why Blue Funk was left off this list, as well as "Nike" "Money Earnin Mount Vernon" "Who's The Man (From the movie soundtrack with the same name)" the reggae smash "Mood For Love (which wasn't a single but received heavy radio rotation on r&b radio)" and of course the remix version of "Got Me Waiting" with r&B sensation at the time Silk. The real crime is leaving off "Don't Curse" which was phat and "Peaceful Journey" off the same named lp.



The additions, "Just Coolin". Nice song for it's time but it was Levert's song with Heavy D rappin a few lines in the song. That could have easily been left off.



But other than that, great cd from a great artist and lyricist."
Heavy Hitz is a winner

"This is a great album. You can put this in your CD player and just let it play. Heavy D was so smooth in his delivery. He could flow on the hip hop love tracks like #2. Don't yu know , and then party on jams like track 9. You can't see what I can see. Heavy talked about love when other hip hop artist were trying to be tough, or use the medium to make a political statement or raise social conscious (Public Enemy, KRS-One). Before folks get their undies in a bunch, I'm a huge fan of Public Enemy and KRS-One, but Heavy D. took Hip Hop to a different level with his hip hop love tracks.



Heavy D was one of the few hip hop artist to cross over into the pop charts. Run DMC being the other.



Favorite Cuts:

3. Don't you know

4. We got our own thang - (great song for the IPOD to play at the gym)

5. Sombebody for me

7. Now that we found love

8. Is it good to you

9. You can't see what I can see - (great song for the IPOD to play at the gym)

11. Nuttin but love

14. On Point - (great song for the IPOD to play at the gym)



This is a great CD to have in your collection if you were a Heavy D fan like I am. You get a nice mix of favorite songs on 1 CD. The Overweight Lover's in da house!!!"
