this exact same thing happened to me this past couple months, lol a girl that's in college said she has a "best friend" turns out he's been fucking her for past 5 months 2 semesters
I was a kid when this song came out and believe me it was instant love and was played all through high school in the 90s and even my 20's in the early 2000's. We KNEW.
@BP "Gangsta" rap came out as early as mid to late 80s Too short 86. Ice T was changing his format around that same time but his album Power put him on the radar in 88. NWA in 87 but no one really noticed. Eazy E in 88 and Straight outta Compton in 89. Around the same time Biz was doing his thing. And 89 still counts.
You know Biz confirmed the "You got what I need" part was originally supposed to be sung by multiple people in a chorus but no one showed up so he did it himself? Seems that may have been for the best because this song is still awesome.
Biz Markie did a great disservice to victims of a cheating girl with this one. Girls got wise. They stopped saying “He’s just a friend,” and stepped it up to: “This is my gay cousin.”
@@jaedn_5100 You just haven't talked to women who were worn out by men's jealousy and assumptions that it's impossible for women to have male friends. Let me be your first! My marriage is over but my friendships with men has lasted decades. They married other women and we are still friends.
To a legend who didn't promote violence, misconduct or bring any negativity to the table. He was someone who wasn't afraid to be himself. He's appreciated and was well needed in our hip-hop community. Rest in power Biz
I think most rappers are self-aware like this (except maybe Kanye!). It's the rap listeners/critics that can't separate stage alter-egos from real life.
man this dude its a walking steal guts you know that what crushes and devast any man its caught his girl with another man this dude was just like.. the heck its this? nah im cool... i cant even describe how fucking hard this dude is more then rocky balboa i can say , by the way why does he picked the uglyest chick?

and he didn't have auto tune back then...lol. A off key real vocal is better than a on key fake vocal of today! Of coarse this song was meant to be funny and not to say he was the next Luther Vandross. Enjoy the day and stay safe.
This dude is the epitome of hip hop music...This New generation has no clue what it was like in the 80's to go to a basement party with a 40 ounce of Old English ,and to hear Pickin Boogers,Vapors,Nobody Beats The Biz,Goin Off,etc....this dude is in millions of peoples memory banks....His Music is my teenage years....R.I.P Biz Markie
Respect, I came here to also pay homage. I'm definitely a brown box cable baby myself who grew up to Biz as well. Make the Music Wit Ya Mouth Biz is gonna really echo hard through my ears. he was indeed a true element of my childhood years Rest in Peace Biz
I would say its the other way round. A lot of rappers clown around these days and do not take themselves seriously at all. The only difference is that they clown around doing drugs, coloring their hair and getting girls to twerk in their vids. Kinda different from biz markie.
Woah there now, are you sure? Rap back then was intense, just less bass and more beat. These days mainstream rap is Drake and Kanye rather than Tupac and Nas, which should somewhat imply something. You're probably a white guy looking in rose-colored glasses.
We lost Dmx, Black Rob, Shook G and now the homie Biz. All in a 3 month span. The Hip-Hop community been suffering this year. This song will always be a classic. Rip brother.
RIP Biz Markie! Yeah, my kid learned that lesson the hard way. His ex and her trifling ways. That girl was sad and pathetic. She will surely do the same to the next poor fool. But karma will certainly take care of her and I will sit back and enjoy it. Sorry, not sorry. As they say, karma is a b*tch!
This man was so humble,he never forgot to give love and thanks to his people, that kind of loyalty doesn't come around everyday! Truly gifted artist and will be missed!!! As many before him ,taken to soon. My prayers to the family!!!

R.I.P. Biz
i just tweeted something about this. i always knew biz was a legend but to really know how important he was to hip hop you most likely had to be there to relate. lotta these kids will prolly hear this and think its lame smfh RIP BIZ
One of my top five OG old skool Rappers ❤❤❤❤❤
This song: *exists*
People who can’t sing: it’s my time to shine!
I feel like this was aimed at me lmao
I can sing but so right lol
That's the beauty of this song and it can bring an entire drunk crowd together in seconds
and he didn't have auto tune back then...lol. A off key real vocal is better than a on key fake vocal of today! Of coarse this song was meant to be funny and not to say he was the next Luther Vandross. Enjoy the day and stay safe.
xd
You will be miss friend, but your songs will be in our hearts
This dude is the epitome of hip hop music...This New generation has no clue what it was like in the 80's to go to a basement party with a 40 ounce of Old English ,and to hear Pickin Boogers,Vapors,Nobody Beats The Biz,Goin Off,etc....this dude is in millions of peoples memory banks....His Music is my teenage years....R.I.P Biz Markie
Oh youre gonna make me cry...
@@deniseengle4269 OMG me too😥😥😥
Every generation experiences music ages differently. Thats kinda the point.
Rip brother
Respect, I came here to also pay homage. I'm definitely a brown box cable baby myself who grew up to Biz as well. Make the Music Wit Ya Mouth Biz is gonna really echo hard through my ears. he was indeed a true element of my childhood years Rest in Peace Biz
RIP Biz now you just an angel in heaven.
R.I.P this song hit different before, but now I’ll never forget it or you
RIP BIZ! From a friend. just a friend.. Best Sing-Along-Drunk-In-A-Bar-Song EVER.
rappers take themselves so seriously these days. we need more stuff like this.
@@anubispatron that's a pretty big generalization there
@@anubispatron I miss DMX, MF DOOM and Biz Markie
Although I'm not an oldhead
@@WilliamFuckingButcher what you mean an "old Head"
I would say its the other way round. A lot of rappers clown around these days and do not take themselves seriously at all. The only difference is that they clown around doing drugs, coloring their hair and getting girls to twerk in their vids. Kinda different from biz markie.
@@anubispatron welll....
The times!
13 years old.. great friends and great times, thank you life!!
Lmao, you know this is from 89 right? I wasn't even born yet 😂
This guy is not just a fire song writer, but the inventor of yo mamma jokes. So inspirational.
Lol
Except he didn't write the song it's made by someone else
@@williamgrose8404 I bet it's made by yo mamma
@@Chillerll lmao
Biz didn’t write his songs
I remember singing along as a kid. He's going to be missed, and this song is iconic to this day.
💋

Correct, that's exactly what I'm trying to say. Yes. I've known him for yrs. Yah. Rt, want happened. I'm here too. Have a good one.
😪
Rap was so much more lighthearted back then. It wasn’t all about being a gangster. It had more soul to the music back then, way more uplifting.
It wasn't rap. It was true Hip Hop. Rap is for the gangsters. Hip hop was for the artist.
@@JOJO-gl6tx not entirely true. I like a lot of rap and I’m definitely no gangster lol i, I’m a white boy from canada
you trippin bro rap now is way more lighthearted, creative, and bright than it was back then. This was a one of a kind tbh
It makes, since this originally a Soul-song!
Woah there now, are you sure? Rap back then was intense, just less bass and more beat. These days mainstream rap is Drake and Kanye rather than Tupac and Nas, which should somewhat imply something. You're probably a white guy looking in rose-colored glasses.
"YOU. GOT WHAT I NEEEEEED."
RIP to the Legend.
We lost Dmx, Black Rob, Shook G and now the homie Biz. All in a 3 month span. The Hip-Hop community been suffering this year. This song will always be a classic. Rip brother.
So sad
SHOCK G
And worm
Don't forget Gift of Gab, just a few weeks ago.
don't forget we lost MF DOOM late last year as well
imagine your friend is about to tell you a story and suddenly you hear the piano and shit and you're like "ah fuck im in a music video"
Underrated comment 😂
😂😂👍
Just follow around and bop your head to the beat lol
Imagine that would be dope
👏🏾 👏🏾
the lisp is what makes this song golden
Id say it's the fact that it comes from within him but that's just an opinion he has a few songs in this album and they're all good
emily classen “I’m getting a lil tired of your broken promethis promethis” oops wrong song 😬
Exactly LoL
😂😁 Lol. So there IS a lisp......I thought I was just tipsy. Also so out of tune, so guessing that is real too......
I noticed it when he kinda "bit" his tongue when he was rapping after the girls walked by
So underrated. Miss you Biz ✌️Rest in peace, love.
RIP Biz, every 40 something kid out there loves and misses you! 70 million views today, millions more incoming.
Damn right it better!!!!! shook his hand at concert in 88 little rock Arkansas i was 14💪😇
40 something kid is like saying dry water
I mean I’m not 40 I just know him cause saints row
Amen Legendary right here
@@Tammc09 😂😂😂
“Don’t ever talk to a girl that says she just has a friend.”
Advice that will echo throughout the ages. RIP Biz Markie.
💯
RIP Biz Markie!
Yeah, my kid learned that lesson the hard way. His ex and her trifling ways. That girl was sad and pathetic. She will surely do the same to the next poor fool. But karma will certainly take care of her and I will sit back and enjoy it. Sorry, not sorry. As they say, karma is a b*tch!
Even truer now
Rest in peace, but that's bullshit.
Facts!!!!!!!!!!!
My condolences to his family and friends......Rest in peace Biz.
RIP…one of the greatest ever…
This man was so humble,he never forgot to give love and thanks to his people, that kind of loyalty doesn't come around everyday! Truly gifted artist and will be missed!!! As many before him ,taken to soon. My prayers to the family!!!
And he was a loving family man. Respect.
Proof that vocal skills are not needed to make a great song
He has a topiC & it's ConsCious.
Ice jj fish took your advice.
Yeah it's funny, he's not a particularly good singer, nor are the lyrics particularly clever (half the rhymes barely work), but this song still slaps.
That's hip hop Tom Waits.
OHHHHH BAAAAABYYY
This song is older than most people in the comments.
Still dope though
16 years older than me. It doesn't change the fact that it's a good song.
@@infumoscus6067 damn you really do be livin in 2026 at the age of 0
@@colton345 sorry i thought the song was made in 1989 but I'm wrong i guess
@@colton345 how dumb are you?
Hella good
This is the best chorus I’ve heard my entire life, loving it all the way from Ghana 🇬🇭
he may have passed, but the moral of this song will last forever 😢
😪
Timeless classics that hit deep and hit HARD.
