Biz's Baddest Beats

Amazon.com
The influential career of the portly Biz Markie is often overshadowed by the success of "Just a Friend," his hilarious 1989 single about puppy love gone wrong. But as a founding Juice Crew member and the legal defendant in rap's first major "sample-clearance" case, Biz had a considerable hand in shaping musical history. This compilation spans his career's glory years, starting with 1987's groundbreaking singles ("Nobody Beats the Biz," "Pickin' Boogers," and a guest spot on Big Daddy Kane's "Just Rhymin' with Biz") and ending with 1993's "All Samples Cleared," a witty poke at his aforementioned legal troubles. The emphasis here is on 1988 and '89, when Biz was in his best shape (lyrically, not physically) and crafting goofy rhymes about boogers, Jell-O, and bad breath. "Just a Friend" is included as well, and despite its platinum status it doesn't manage to outshine Biz and producer Marley Marl's other funky gems. --Hua Hsu

The Biz has the Goods.......2000-09-03

Biz will trip you out with his Songs.but behind the good time feel&vibe were some very Powerful messages.the Vapors is a classic it's a song that deals with how folks will Judge a Book by it's cover before opening it.Just a Friend is the kind of song that alot of folks can relate to.he is a very creative minded Artist.

Must have, PERIOD........2000-05-10

This album is a "MUST HAVE" for all hip hop fans. Eventhough this has many old school jams, this will get everybody nodding their heads with pleasure and will also get a few laughs. The Clown Prince of Hip Hop is here. So just, buy it, and enjoy!

What's up my old school peeps? This CD is the *ish* it's his Greatest Hits, if you were to buy and Biz CD, may this one be it. It covers all the dope rapping he did from '86 to '93, it's staright up dope, take it from me, I've heard a lot of old school rappers, Biz is one of the best.

the biz always is on point.......1999-09-26

what can you say about this gem? it has everything for a party and more.while some folks only wanna trip this set shows a cat who knows what he is doing.just a friend was pre-cursor to everything you see on jerry and the other tabloid shows.nobody beats the biz bumps in your ears.this one can rock year in and year out.
