https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/biz-markie-dead-1191772/quote:Biz Markie, the pioneering rapper, producer, and beatboxer whose jovial goofiness and innovative samples made him a singular presence in hip-hop, died Friday at the age of 57. Man, I had The Biz Never Sleeps on cassette and wore it out. Guess he’s sleeping permanently now. Now I’ll never get to hear that super rare Bob James record he had of “Take Me to the Mardi Gras” without the bells and only the drums that he never shared with anyone

Saw him opening for the Beastie Boys back in the summer of 98. Molson Park, Barrie Ont. I think he modified some lyrics for one of his songs. "You, you got a diseeeeeaaaassseeeee! And you say its just a rash, and you say its just a rash"! I'm not 100% sure on this, as I was supremely hosed up that day. bbut it was something like that.

He probably was sad because I cancelled him. His hit song say she just a friend was very toxic and showed a lot of male entitlement, and really gross for him to be stalking and dropping in on a college student, guess what biz she is not your girlfriend she does not need your permission to kiss some dude. And she doesn't have to tell you the nature of her relationships. But biz if I had known that you would have died I would not have cancelled you. I'm sorry. I would have brought you in privately to ask you to rewrite that song.

the diabolical did the loving dopest most charismatic performance of benny and the jetts ever, while also being a terrible, mush-mouthed singer by conventional standards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puuS9H6eTuw here's the "album version" which is even more slurred, incoherent and just absolutely the best rendition of that song ever. listen to the audience freaking out like it's the beatles on ed sullivan or some poo poo. the man shat charisma. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bl-rguKPsg biz would start playing "just a friend" and then hold the mic out to the audience rapping along and not say a word of the lyrics for the WHOLE SONG and kill it with the crowd biz had the only pair of technics sl-700s in the world - a 7-inch turntable(?!) biz would call up record dudes he'd never met just to quiz them on their rarest poo poo, just saying "got it!" as they rattled stuff off, just to show them biz once palmed sade's whole forehead like a basketball just don't sleep on that "biz never sleeps" blogspot site i linked. the man was a walking source of comedy and joy in the world even OUTSIDE his music. plus one of the top three hooks/choruses in all rap music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx01IRRlHaA

I hope it all shows up in the Smithsonian someday  As for “Take Me to the Mardi Gras” without the bells, this is apparently Biz DJing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn4SUwqd4Uc But apparently, it’s a version of the song with the bells panned hard left, so all you do is turn off the left channel for the intro and BAM, no bells. Still rare enough for him to brag about it (at the time), though.

You Are A Elf posted:poo poo, I forgot the dude collected a lot of stuff. I hope it all shows up in the Smithsonian someday Maybe a bit shamefully, i've been down this rabbit hole and hard panning isn't enough to kill the bells - even on the mythically rare italian 45 issue with a slightly different mix. I don't think you could've faked it back in the day with L-R phase poo poo without loads of artifacts and the rest of the mix sounding messed up. waveform editing software is probably at the point that you could do a convincing digital fake but biz has been bragging about having it since like the 90s, and yes, even occasionally playing it out in his insane career of DJing jewish basketball conventions and shriner gatherings and such. his story was it came in a promotional CTI (the label Bob James was on) briefcase with other promo materials - hence it could've been a test pressing or prerelease with a botched mix. at least one other CTI briefcase has surfaced to my knowledge (sans record) so the story is at least plausible. Thes' version was some hand labelled quarter inch reel to reel tape from a TV source in LA so it wasn't the same as what Biz had.
