- I thought Peacful Journey was pretty straight; especially with 'Don't Curse'.
- The reason probably why Heavy hasn't been dissed is cause he's maintained a
- soft,but good style ever since he's been out. His stuff is dancable, sounds
- real, adn has some nice messgaes to 'em. Even the stuff that has no message
- is going on--the fellas can relate. The Hev is my man. I write raps myself.
- My stlye, withsome of my stuff at least, is on Teh HEv side (eg I don't use
- profanity cause if I ever get in 'The Business, as Tribe would say, I know my
- Auts and Uncles owuldn't let my little cousins hear that kind of language.
- Besides little ones don't need to hear that nayway.). Hev is a'ight--no disses.
