What ever happened to Biz Markie? If you know who he is and what song he sung you are an amazing person.

Is this the guy?
"Biz Markie ended 2007 and began 2008 opening for Chris Rock's No Apologies" tour. Biz Markie's act includes spinning records ranging from old school hip hop to Lynyrd Skynyrd and then performing "Just a Friend"

I had not heard of him, but Wikipedia is great for finding stuff!

I remember interviewing Biz Markie in Seattle. He had JUST come out with 'Just A Friend'. One of the worst interviews, ever. He was so tooled that he could barely talk.
That's cool that he's still out there, though.

You, you got what I need...but you say hes just a friend
And you say hes just a friend, oh baby you... you got what I need but you say hes just a friend
But you say hes just a friend, oh baby you... you got what I need but you say hes just a friend
But you say hes just a friend
Ashamed to admit that I listened to this crap back in high school.

He's just a punchline now. Admittedly, a funny one too.
The last reference I saw regarding Biz Markie was on a particularly funny episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

He's still the legend he always has been.
Just a Friend, Spring Again, Nobody Beats The Biz, Vapors being a few classics.
He can be seen in a regular installment on YO GABBA GABBA! called Biz's Beat Of The Day in which he does a simple beat box beat for the kids to learn.
Mark from Devo also has a regular appearance drawing something.
