Biz Markie passed away

[DonRe]

May god bless him and his family/loved ones.

a true legend and one of the most uniques figures in hiphop. I wish i was up on him and his complete contribution. But it seems real hiphop heads know what he means and what his rep will leave behind.

 

[Hood Critic]

Rest Easy Biz.

im sure there are older heads such as myzself in this thread who have seen him perform or met him?
He was a real deal down to earth brother..he loves films and he had some dope ass sneakers (avid collector).

Word is he had one of the deepest records collections too

And he had 80's toy collection like crazy. He showed me his pics of the collection, he loved godzilla.

Yeah, one his beefs with Marley/Cold Chillin' was over producer credits. It was Biz who literally brought the records into the studio and told them what to sample.
Biz is responsible for bringing multiple breakbeats, loops, and songs into hip hop. (That Marley Mark gets credit for, and full production credit/rights/money for)

Have this on VHS...video music box.
Clip shows why Biz was one of the greatest performers ever.
LONS is kicking some fire ass freestyles. The latest styles.
No way Biz can follow them, right?

He starts chanting
The B-I-Z the M-azer A-R-KIE!!!

over and over

Crowd jumped up and started going crazy!!!!
