個人經歷
在80年初開始了他的音樂生涯,也有和McShan,Roxanne Shante一起工作過.88年簽了Cold Chillin;.而且發行了; ,次年發行了The Biz Never Sleeps中的Just A Friend十分受到當時美國市場好評.也使得Markie成為當時最重要Rappa和Hiphop影響力最大人物之一.這也使他愛發行第三張I Need a Haircut承受很多的壓力,另外,加上Sample問題的訴訟案更加惡化!到93年,Markie繼續他的音樂事業,發行了All Samples.這張也可以說是商業音樂下的受害者!!!!!!!而後的幾年,Biz 常和Beasitie Boyz一起工作,也開始Djing,從此過著低調的音樂人生活.(他的單曲Just A Friend被滾石評為最偉大的100首英文歌曲之一.)年輕的一批rapper,象是Obie Trice等也都受到了他的影響.
在眾多的Old School說唱MC中，BIZ Markie毋庸質疑是東海岸饒舌音樂的根源。他孩子般的幽默和童趣掩蓋了他作為一個傑出freestyle rhymer的事實，又或許Biz Markie未能將他狂野的饒舌技藝完整的展示在作品，但他卻以自己的方式令唱片有了價值。在他傻乎乎的幽默感以及創造力十足的採樣造就的音樂中，他證明了Hip Hop可以在搞笑又具有藝術感，同時又不失街頭文化的親和力。他這樣獨特的風格令專輯大獲成功，同時也是對他的詛咒--其中採樣受到過高的關注，以至於他終因1991年"Alone Again"一曲中未經許可的採樣另他受到起訴。漫長的訴訟令他的音樂生涯就此停滯。但他在90年代中期為Beastie Boyz的冠軍單曲獻聲，還是讓我們看到了他在Hip Hop樂壇巨大的影響力。
一臉傻乎乎的Biz Markie絕對稱的上是Harlem的傳奇,在Old School正在走向衰落的那個期間,Biz Markie一首"Just a Friend"為他賺夠了榮耀,也讓充滿童趣幽默的饒舌方式在硬核泛濫的年代中體現了出了價值,而"Just a Friend"則被《滾石》評為"最偉大的100首英文歌曲"之一(1963-2000).我想喜歡Old School的朋友應該都知道他那首Just a Friend吧，曾經HipaTop100裡面重複率很高的歌。

——(Biz Markie) Lyrics
Have you ever met a girl that you tried to date
But a year to make love she wanted you to wait
Let me tell ya a story of my situation
I was talkin' to this girl from the U.S. nation
The way that I met her was on tour at a concert
She had long hair and a short miniskirt
I just got onstage drippin', pourin' with sweat
I was walkin' through the crowd and gues who I met
I whispered in her ear, "Come to the picture booth
So I can ask you some questions to see if you are a hundred proof"
I asked her her name, she said blah-blah-blah
She had 9/10 pants and a very big bra
I took a couple of flicks and she was enthused
I said, "How do you like the show?"
she said, "I was very amused"
I started throwin' bass, she started throwin' back mid-range
But when I sprung the question, she acted kind of strange
Then when I asked, "Do ya have a man," she tried to pretend
She said, "No I don't, I only have a friend"
Come on, I'm not even goin' for it
This is what I'm goin' sing
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
And you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend
So I took blah-blah's word for it at this time
I thought just havin' a friend couldn't be no crime
'Cause I have friends and that's a fact
Like Agnes, Agatha, Germaine, and Jacq
Forget about that, let's go into the story
About a girl named blah-blah-blah that adored me
So we started talkin', getttin' familiar
Spendin' a lot of time so we can build up
A relationship or some undderstanding
How it's gonna be in the future we was plannin'
Everything sounded so dandy and sweet
I had no idea I was in for a treat
After this was established, everything was cool
The tour was over and she went back to school
I called every day to see how she was doin'
Everytime that I ccalled her it seemed somethin' was brewin'
I called her on my dime, picked up, and then I called again
I said, "Yo, who was that?" "Oh, he's just a friend"
Don't gimme that, don't ever gimme that
Jus' bust this
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend And you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend
So I came to her college on a surprise visit
To see my girl that was so exquisite
It was a school day, I knew she was there
The first semester of the school year
I went to a gate to ask where was her dorm
This guy made me fill out a visitor's form
He told me where it was and I as on my way
To see my baby doll, I was happy to say
I arrrived in front of the dormitory
Yo, could you tell me where is door three?
They showed me where it was for the moment
I didn't know I was in for such an event
So I came to her room and opened the door
Oh, snap! Guess what I saw?
A fella tongue-kissin' my girl in the mouth,
I was so in shock my heart went down south
So please listen to the message that I say
Don't ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend
