If Hip-Hop had its own Hall of Fame (don't know for sure if they do...), these guys would definitely be in. The Boyz had standout songs like "We Got Our Own Thing" and "Now That We Found Love" and if they're very lucky the best they'll probably get would be getting nominated.

Heavy D and The Boyz should of been in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when he was alive and after his death long before some of these Cracker Jack Rappers

Heavy D an The Boyz had a song called "Now That We Found Love." That's the only Heavy D song I can think of.

If you only know one hit song by Heavy D and the. boys, you don't know Hip Hop smh. Heavy was instrumental in the New Jack Swing movement, Pop, Reggae sound and of course, Hip Hop. His collaborations all were hits. He even started groups that had hits as well. If Heavy D doesn't get into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame then SHAME ON THEM!
