Be Inspired: The Life of Heavy D (Documentary)

After passing away on November 8th 2011, many artists have come together to pay tribute to Heavy D in a documentary entitled 'Be Inspired', which is taken from the late rapper's final tweet on the same day that he passed. The 40-minute documentary is an incredibly touching insight into the life of one of the nicest and most loved men in Hip-Hop, with words coming from Big Boi, Will Smith, Cee-Lo, Queen Latifah and many more. The film also includes coverage of his funeral in Mount Vernon, along with the original score by Jazz legend George Duke. Amazing.
