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.




The 1992 news report here also includes my interview with Mary J Bilge which was her first time talking on camera to our division- Abbie Kearse

*a special thank you to Jac Benson for co-signing for me w Puff to let me even get him on the phone to start negotiations for his first on camera interview for MTV News too.

raise 'em up for Jac - a nice mention fr 1995:

JAC BENSON II Getting a job at a company known for quick-edited music montages was a perfect match for the one-time shutterbug kid. Today, as one of MTV-Music Television's most promising producers, Jac Benson II is responsible for a $300,000 budget and the total production of the weekly hip-hop and R&B show, Yo! MTV Raps.
