I hate that "Just a Friend" was his biggest hit. That wasn't what the streets loved him for. "Nobody Beats the Biz" was his real hit in the streets back in the eighties.

I liked the Biz. He was also a regular on a kids show for awhile too. My favorite song of his was "Vapors", one of his older tunes. Thanks for this!

[marcusblackwell]

He was also a regular on the Nick Jr series Yo Gabba Gabba, in which he would teach the audience beatboxing

He did a bunch with the Beastie Boys, too! I always loved The Biz

A pioneer and a really nice guy who brought many others along for the ride. My favorite Bis moment was his cameo in Men In Black. Rest in power Biz!

'Never heard of him until he died, of diabetes.
Nowadays we don't have to die from diabetes.
