The clown prince of hip-hop, Biz Markie disappeared into obscurity just a couple of years after this album was released, in large part owing to a legal battle. Hip-hop has lacked for Biz's absence (except for his occasional appearance on a Beastie Boys or De La Soul track), and this album is the reason. Biz had some serious skills (listen to the rap he busts out with on the hilarious "Mudd Foot"), but he usually shelved them for a deliberate, toned-down delivery punctuated by an affected stutter. His lyrics tend toward high-school-level humor, and his production may often be minimal, but Biz's best work--including the bulk of this CD--communicates a joy that hip-hop often lacks. --Randy Silver

Give It Up For The Diabolical MC: Biz Markie!.......2007-01-14

All self-respecting MC's should own a copy of these 2 east coast hip hop staples. Take listen to any notable hip hop or r & b release in the 90's and you'll hear snippets of this classic, specifically Mary J. Blige, A Tribe Called Quest and Bad Boy releases. Vapors is the first lesson I ever learned about haters and when you make the come up. Like 2pac said: " A lot of us fatherless boys listened to the rappers of our day as father figures." Pac named LL, Kane, and Cube as his father figures. Biz Markie certainly goes on that list as well.

Biz in Harmony.......2002-05-03

These two cds were Biz at his best. Goin' Off featuring the vastly underrated TJ Swan and Biz Never Sleeps perfectly captures the Emmazaa-A-R-KIE reaching his zenith. My Man Rich, Biz in Harmony, Things Get Easier, Make the Music, Albee Square Mall, etc. There's probably only two songs maximum that didn't age well between the two LPs. I love all of the monikers that he calls himself on Never Sleeps. To this day I haven't been able to decipher them all. I'd remembered Goin' Off as a classic but for some reason had forgotten about the hidden treasure that was Never Sleeps. It somehow got overlooked during the all Gangsta or all Daisy age of hip-hop. I had to cop this one as soon as I spotted it. A hall of fame cd for a hall of fame artist.

Biz has the masta plan.......2002-04-22

Who else can rhyme about takin' a dump? Who else can say "On a crack mission, no type of ambition, make blunts disappear betta than a magician?"

Biz is hands-down the best rapper to ever live. "up ya nose wit a rubba hose and everybody knows that ya style is olda than my gramma's clothes."

Unbe-freakin-lievable.

man, if u ain't up on biz yet, you betta cop this cd!.......2002-02-28

this is a phat collection to get, its 2 of biz's classic albums for the price of one! biz is dope! listen to biz markie if u like tight rymes, good beats.... get the other 2 albums "i neef a haircut" and "all samples cleared" after you get this 2 album comp. then get some slick rick cd's, then we can talk

Nobody Beats The Biz.......2001-09-29

This is a great find! Biz Markie is the best Old-School rapper who obviously influenced Biggie Smalls, the best rapper since The Biz. If you are a lyricist looking for inspiration, look no further. Biz rymes vague words to express himself, not worring about everything ryming perfectly and focusing on the flow of things. This is a breath of fresh air in today's rap world of Cash Money, DMX, "P Diddy", and others. Biz sings about simpler things and has fun with it. The best CD next to The Roots' "Do You Want More?"

The Biz never sleeps.......2006-05-04

What can you say about the Biz Markie. He's fat, he's eclectic and his Annonciation is sub par to say the least, but what the Biz lacks in grace he more than makes up for in charisma.

This Elder statesman of the New York Hip-hop scene shows his full lyrical potential on this album. Along with his Cousin who makes up the second half this "dynamic" Duo, Cutmaster cool V, the two of them have managed to produce an album of quality beats, catchy hooks and sometimes hilarious rhymes. Think Tribe Called quest meets Fat Albert and the Gang (which insidently is reffered to on the classic tune Mudfoot).
All in all if you dont like the biz's style you'll be more than amused with his choice of subject matter and delivery. A worth while buy.

Good Stuff one of the best by Biz check it check it check it check it

You can't go wrong with the Biz........2002-01-27

Ok ok ok... I've heard it before from many people, including myself. "Rap isn't my kind of music." And while I admit I am not a rabid rap fan, especially of today's breed, I enjoy this album. Biz knew how to rhyme, he knew how to be hillarious, he knew how to be serious, and God knows he knew how to give shout-outs (as he did on every track of this album). Ok, so the last part may make him seem a bit pretentious... but do not let that get in the way. This album is great... a good antithesis to today's style of rap. Biz raps about Springtime, body odors, "friends", as well as anti-drugs. No egotistical sexism, no racism, and no excessive, boring curising. Great rhymes. So if you ever get the chance to run across this album, give it a spin... you may find it quite enjoyable.

Oh my god Biz Markie is the greatest singer alive! His song just a friend is the best song in the whole world. I recommend that you buy this CD even if you don't like rap you should buy it cuz it's great. Trust me you won't be disappointed. PS: BIZ ROX!
