Career in 1980s
Biz Markie was interviewed in the 1986 cult documentary Big Fun In The Big Town. Markie released his debut album, Goin’ Off, in 1988, which attracted a fair amount of attention, largely due to the lead single, “Make the Music With Your Mouth, Biz”. The album also featured the underground hit singles “Nobody Beats The Biz”, “Vapors”, and “Pickin’ Boogers”.
On October 10, 1989, Biz Markie’s second studio album, The Biz Never Sleeps, was released on Cold Chillin’/Warner Bros. Records, produced by Biz, his cousin Cool V and Paul C. The single “Just a Friend”, in which he alternates between rap and singing, became Markie’s most successful single, reaching #9 on the Billboard charts.
The song interpolates the 1968 song “You Got What I Need” by singer/songwriter Freddie Scott, whose basic chord and melody provided the base for the song’s chorus. “Just A Friend” was ranked 81st on VH1’s 100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders in 2000, and later as number 100 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop in 2008.
