The Diabolical Big Markie! I can't lie, it still breaks my heart knowing Biz passed away. What an exceptional personality! There will certainly never be another. Many people know him as a beatboxer, MC and all around presence in hip-hop but he certainly had a passion for music that extended to being a DJ and curating mixtapes. He put in considerable work with 45s later in his career, doing live DJ events around the country as well. Theory of Old School was Biz Markie's Funk & Soul contribution to the mix tape game back in the late 90s through Tape Kingz. It features tracks by Collage, Chaka Khan, DeBarge, Teddy Pendergrass, Teena Marie, Shalamar, Marvin Gate, Deniece Williams, Michael Jackson, Heatwave, The Jackson 5, The Gap Bad, Barry White, The Emotions and so much more. Many of these jams were the samples, breaks and inspiration for countless hip-hop records that would come in later years. Listen to this "little funk shit" as Biz Markie says below...
