Rap legend Heavy D -- one of the most influential rappers of the '90s -- died earlier today ... TMZ has learned.

Heavy D -- real name Dwight Arrington Myers -- was rushed to an L.A. hospital around noon today ... and was pronounced dead at the hospital at 1 PM. He was 44 years old.

We've learned a 911 call was placed from Heavy's Beverly Hills home around 11:25 AM to report an unconscious male on the walkway .

When help arrived, we're told Heavy D was conscious and speaking -- and was transported to a nearby hospital.

He died a short time later.

Cops are investigating the death -- and so far, there are no obvious signs of foul play. Police are currently at the home.


Heavy D had several massive hits -- including "Now That We Found Love." He also wrote and performed the theme song for "In Living Color" ... and appeared as an actor in the movie "Life."

Heavy just performed at the Michael Jackson Tribute Concert in Wales on October 8. He sang "Jam" with La Toya Jackson -- and rocked it (video below)

Shocking that a guy named Heavy would die young...

:cry:

I'd like to dedicate this song
To everyone who's cried before
Who's felt pain and suffering before
This just ain't about me
But most importantly I'd like to send this song out to my family
I love my family
'Specially my mother and my father
I wanna thank you for being so strong
God bless you, I love you

That sucks :(

This is all La Toya's fault. She must have Rogue from x-men powers.

I'm surprised he was only 44. He's been around forever.

Has every fat rapper died before the age of 50 now?

1 of them wasn't that fat and I think the other one that is alive lost a ton of weight so he wouldn't die like the 3rd member did.

He was very good in the(IMO) underrated "big trouble" starring Tim Allen, Rene Russo and the dreamy Zooey Deschanel. Great movie.

heavy D is a rap legend? are you shitting me? seriously?

so anyone who's had a few years in the greater-stratosphere of pop-hop is now going to be called a "rap legend" when they die? great. i can't wait to hear about the death of rap legend B.O.B. someday...

Some of his stuff was pop and cheesy, but whatever. I was too young to really care. I liked him. Thought he was a cool cat. The Different World episode where he is featured is fantastic...

no one would ever put him in a top 10/20/50 rappers of all time, but nonetheless he is an important figure in the history of hip-hop. And he did have a few decent songs.
