I saw him DJ twice. Once in my city. The other time my cousin was opening for him so I had backstage passes. He was the nicest guy. The first thing i remember when meeting him, he was tall as fuk. I had no idea he was like 6'5". He hit the state ON TIME for the first set(no lauryn hill shyt) when he came back thru, I talked with him and he signed my cd inserts. Including the I need a Haircut album that was pulld from the shelves. Watching it now and it's dope. Biz Markie is the reason I started collecting club and show fliers. I saw Rhyme and Reason documentary and that Biz had all of those fliers from 20 years prior so I started doing that a couple years later. I have a shoe box filled with them along with a big picture book. Biz Markie inspired me to do that. Plus I got a flier from one of his DJ shows hahaha

first rhyme i ever wrote was a rewrite of goin off, tailored that shyt to myself. biz was mad important
I didn’t realize he had spent a whole year in the hospital and died there, that’s crazy. It was a great documentary, Showtime had a marathon of all their hip hop documentaries leading up the premiere. His death hit everyone he knew hard, he was one of a kind and that comedic aspect he brought to hip hop was different from everything else at the time.

its crazy how ppl were staging rakim vs kane back in the day, whole time they both owe their success to the same person. i didnt even know rakim was down with biz like that
