Album Review
Like Whodini, Heavy D. has managed to appeal to both R&B audiences and rap's hardcore. Indeed, Heavy shows strong R&B leanings on Big Tyme, his second album, which is definitely softer and more congenial than what one would have expected from Ice-T or Public Enemy that year. But the Long Island MC has a lot of technique — a fact that hardcore hip-hoppers couldn't overlook when hearing him let loose on such numbers as "Here We Go Again, Y'all," "More Bounce" and "You Ain't Heard Nuttin' Yet." Residents of the hood may have viewed the commercial appeal that "Somebody for Me" had suspiciously, but they couldn't ignore Heavy's obvious technique. Although not remarkable, Big Tyme is an enjoyable effort that works well as escapist party music.
Customer Reviews
APPLE: Please provide a better review!
I agree with the last rating. I don't know WHO reviewed this, but it's bizarre at best. Heavy D hails from Mount Vernon, not Long Island (Long Island would be home of De La Soul, NOT Heavy D. Also, Heavy D was NEVER a "hard core" rapper...in fact, that label for rap was not even typically used at the time. Heavy D and The Boyz represent a time when hip hop was either of two things: fun and/or educational. THIS was real hip hop. Not the buffoonery that we have now...the buffoonery that we so unfortunately label "hard core hip hop". Big Tyme represented the fusion of New Jack Swing, Jamaican Yard-style, and Hip Hop. The album is excellent if you're interested in listening to real/classic hip hop and exhausted with today's version. I'm giving this album a ten. I'm also asking Apple to PLEASE provide a more appropriate album review. The above review is just hilarious, at best.
who reviews these?
Just like Jazz, The story of hip hop is being recorded and told by people who are not of the "culture" so the facts get screwed up. Heavy D is NOT a Long Island MC. If you heard his first LP Livin' Large then you would know he's from Mt. Vernon.
I miss the real Hip Hop
I miss the old school music where it had a purpose and meaning but now it's all a bunch of young kids who have no style.
