On the eve of the gangster crap that junktified hip hop for years to come and would-be rap preachers who rarely read books but tried to blindly lead the blind, the Biz (who I had the good fortune to enjoy at a concert once) kept it real by staying true to his game of comedy hip hop and funny stories with his unique class clown persona. Even wehn his Cds did not sell well, he remained a beloved and popular figure in hip hop. Here is where you'll see why.

This is all the good stuff minus "Alone Again" (which is was banned due to a lawsuit. Too bad, as it was a pretty good ong as I recall). "Make the music with your mouth Biz" (which unleashed this super-lunatic madman supreme among the world) along with "Biz Going Off," the all-too comically true anthem of fairweather friendship "The Vapors", the likeably dumb "Spring Again" (Biz does Barry White here-beleive it or not) and that classic orchestra of musical stupidity "Just a Friend" which was make you drop your jaws in disbelief upon first listen (look, this tune is IMPOSSIBLE to describe on paper without hearing the "chorus") but will make you roll with laughter upon subsequent listening.

Yeah, the Biz is a hoot. The Fool man cometh. Unforutantely, this includes the sickening "Picking Boogers" and at least has the sense to include the equally nauseating "Toilet Stool Rap." In either case, if you need a good belly laugh from one of the true clown princes of rap after a hard day at work, then this is for you.

Biz Markie is one of the best producers and underated dj's. whoever gave this one star is an idiot. You don't see me reviewing country music. If you don't like someone dont review the album. this album is good, buy it.

Why couldn't this guy have picked an album he hated to do his 1-star Rating experiment with?! Goodness knows there are plenty of Lindsay Lohan albums out there just asking to be knocked down a peg or two. Biz doesn't deserve that. He's one of the most underrated East Coast rappers out there, and I just wanted to put in my two cents to undo this immature prank.

Yeah Biz is sweet, so i give him 5 stars too, cuz this is a good album, even if rap isnt my cup of tea. yo could you tell me where is door three? ha ha

well guess the whole 1 star thing won't last. Too bad, gotta love the biz.

I think the one star isn't markie so I'll give him a 5 witch take it up to a 3 but you say im just a friend

They played "Just a Friend" on the radio the other day and I was reminded of just how incredibly horrible that song really was. This guy has a terrible voice--for a rapper! Think about that statement for a moment.

The tinking piano and plodding music and weird rhymes...this sounds almost like a parody of a rap song. Was that what he was shooting for? Is he making fun of how awful rap music can be?

I see the other glowing reviews here and wonder if there's some kind of colossal joke being played on everyone. Because, man...this is horrendous.
