Toronto – One of those songs you hear often, but not too often, I was reminded how good this track was after watching Jimmy Fallon/Justin Timberlake’s history of rap part 2. Featuring a sample of Freddie Scott’s “You Got What I Need,” this track by Biz Markie highlights all the great things about hip hop around the late ’80s and early ’90s – great narratives, innovative samples and a dedication to flow. Rarely did these rappers write songs about how rich they are or how many cars they had. A memorable track with a memorable story, it’s odd that this was Biz Markie’s only major hit song. Check it out.
