Biz Markie 1964-2021

As you’ve likely heard, Biz Markie passed away on Friday at the age of 57. In his memory, let us know your favorite or most vivid memories involving Biz Markie and his music.

Though I’ve become more accepting of the song over the past three decades, when “Just a Friend” became popular in 1990, I hated it. Whenever I think of Biz Markie and his signature song, I remember hearing it for the first time, which was on a car radio, and telling my dad when I got home about this awful song I heard.
