Happy Birthday, Leonardo DiCaprio!
It seems like just yesterday that Jack Dawson was telling us to “never let go,” but everyone’s favorite 90s heartthrob is 37 today.

Heavy D, former leader of Heavy D and the Boyz and one of the most influential rappers ever, passed away yesterday at the age of 44. Since his unexpected death, many musicians and artists have shared their grief with the world, including Talib Kweli, LL Cool J, and Lenny Kravitz.

Take a moment and follow Jay-Z’s lead to celebrate the life of one of hip-hop’s most important artists: What’s your favorite Heavy D lyric?
