Fun fact: it took Biz 5 years to find This beat because he never knew the name of it, one night he got a call and one of his friends played this over the phone asking if it was the track. R.I.P to the legend🙏

The Diabolical Biz Markie

This was probably Biz's favorite song as a kid.

Music used to be so wholesome

Damn, this shit slaps! I'm 40 years old and I just now heard this song in 2021. RIP Freddie Scott

I like the original because it's so DOPE, just funky and perfect, and yeah Biz did his thing on this joint. I met him at BWI airport and asked him about his version and he said it was a true story, but he would not say the woman's name. Biz was a cool guy, very friendly and wicked smart much respect to Biz Markie Dee !!!

Listen to the song "Just a friend of mine" Vaya con dios, and you'll see the same kinda "He's just a friend" story like Biz Markie's song :D I thought he got inspired from there to write his song. :)

They say the person that supposed to did the hook never showed so he did it himself...just a fun fact Like George Clinton was high on acid while in the booth with the headphones on. As they was rewinding the track he thought it was the beat on and started singing "Why must I be like that? Why must I chase the cat?" Atomic Dog was made by mistake lol

The rare and pure honesty from a man in love. His voice is like silk. This song like honey, never expires. 🤎

Am I snob because I don't want to listen a "new" version of these ? Don't mess with perfection.

We really need to commend some of the old school rapper and MC's because their digging in the crates opened us to some great music we might have missed. This is one of those.

Wow! what a Great Song it the beat is great and the lyrics are perfect, but it's the singers who bring it to life.

Also in NZ where they're constantly playing this on an advert.Love it so much just had to find out who sang it originally. Wonderful happy music singing about love and relationships. Different days when music was about melody creativity and expression and soul.❤

The original funky funks! A true classic.❤😉

I heard this version just recently on a commercial and just had to investigate. I hope he got paid royalties for this.

Today being the 34th anniversary of ‘The Biz Never Sleeps’ is what brought me here. R.I.P. to the legends.

I’m so confused on why I didn’t have this in my playlist already..

Oh Snap !! 1st thought after hearing this for the first time is Biz really murdered this song. 😄🤣😅 U have to be a Jay Anthony Brown/ Tom Joyner morning show fan to know what I mean. I love hip hop because I love how black people can take anything & make something new and good out of it. That's just how we get down. Always moving forward and reinventing.

I'm furious that I just discovered this song. How come no one ever mentions this song when they talk about samples?

Get out! I had no idea that this was the inspiration for that "other song"....You got what I need, but you say I'm just a friend. My little sister had this cat hanging around her and when we asked who he was (to her), she always said: he just a friend. Well 2 boys and marriage later, we found out differently.

I'm learning this song immediately for karaoke. I wish I knew about this years ago.

Love this song. The love of my life dedicated it to us. She is no longer but those feel good moments dancing with her to this bring back a better time

Thanks BIZMARKIE AND COOL V.. without u I would never have heard of this song.. " rap brings back old r&b and if we would not people woulda forgot.." Stetsasonic

The 80's was all samples

This has more heart and soul, but I do like the other one better!

Here from 85 South Show Big Daddy Kane episode. Rip Biz Markie

SIP BIZ MARKIE!

I know we go straight to Biz Markie on the sample. But Ghostface Killah on the pretty Toney album sample this beat and song and its entirety, the song is called save me dear by Ghostface Killah from Wu-Tang
