ODB is the man and RIP for real but ever since U-God said that ODB's whole style and influence was from Biz Markie.

Since then I cant unsee it, 'Brooklyn Zoo' TOP 25 Rap record of all time to me but yeah that's a little Biz Markie biting, both dope. :hubie:

Heavy D is dope but he might be the most unoriginal rapper ever

RIP to both....but when Prince Markie Dee was on youtube and broke down how Heavy D was basically his clone it blew my mind

When Prince Markie Dee went solo everybody thought it was Heavy D (to be fair Hev came out solo first)
but he was the original Heavy D so he had people calling him a biter for sounding like himself

Prince Markie Dee did a ton of producing and songwriting behind the scenes a lot of the early Uptown and Bad Boy shyt was all him he did "Real Love" for Mary J and a bunch of other shyt people have no idea about

I could name another rapper that got a LOT from him but I'm not even gonna go there just listen to Prince Markie Dee's albums understand that he wrote and produced everything and if it sounds like something from another rapper did like a year before understand that other rapper got it from him

Wasn't Rza and Gaza first rap personas rip offs.

I think Rza was on some Big Daddy Kane shyt and Gza was tryna be Rakim if I'm not mistaken.

There is Biz/Marley Marl influence/sound all over Supreme Clientele, so they obviously loved Biz. ODB pputenough of his own spin on it to not call him a biter IMO.
