One of the first rappers that wasn't afraid to clown on himself for a laugh, was not about violence was about spreading Unity. He was truly his own person. R i p

Biz OWNED NYC radio! His songs played all through the streets back to back. The records themselves were super well made and banged so hard. Although he was funny, his songs were still hardcore and nothing clownish about them. I never heard anybody snap on Biz. He was kinda feared talent wise. Nobody disrespected him.

Even moms, pops, and cops say "What up Biz?"

Damn it feel good to see people up on it   Rest in peace legend

I love every song Biz made. This has me crying because he meant so much to us as kidz. I will forever remember him.

So many childhood memories if you’re 42 and older Biz is in you’re top 5 childhood favorites

Rest well my dude the greats live forever!!!

Rest In Peace biz you will be missed but never forgotten

R.I.P the G.O.A.T-The Best Beat Boxer-Cool Rapper BIZ Markie 😎💯💯💯

I remember about 15 years back I was driving on Peninsula Blvd going through Lynbrook and I stopped at a traffic light and right there next to me in a BMW was Biz!  He saw the expression on my face when I realized who he was and smiled at me and through up the peace sign! 😎

Truly nobody beat the biz hip hop pioneer, legend, beat box extraordinaire, dj, lyricist, humorist in the hip hop game, made YO GABBA GABBA a hit 4 my son in his childhood and just will be really missed way beyond human words truly in memory of "The Biz" Biz Markie rest easy solider

Rest in peace bro - hip hop and the world lost a legend

Summer of 1985, me and homie traveled on the LIRR to visit his cousin out in Central Islip, Long Island. I was still 14. My man's cousin saw Biz walking, with his head down like he had a lot on his mind. He had on these shell toe Adidas that he painted black with  reddish brown shell toe and the absolute WIDEST FAT LACES I ever seen in my life. They were a novelty, because we was all wearing fat laces but Biz was doing the most. He kicked the beatbox for us on the street for like 4 or 5 minutes. I'll never forget that day in '85. RIP Biz Markie D. Humble brother.

RIP Diabolical Biz Markie 💔

One of THE GREATEST!!! that should NEVER!!! be forgotten.
Love and appreciate you BIZ!
