Having a post work drink. Moongarita (made with Rosie Cheeks Distillery Key Lime Pie moonshine and Jalapeno moonshine).
Using my favorite Biz Markie glass. Met him once in 2002 when I briefly worked at a Blockbuster Video.

Ah, Trickster. You are beyond my understanding...but Doom perseveres.

So nice to hear Dove and Biz again. Wasn't familiar with these #DeLaSoul deep cuts. #BizMarkie #Trugoy
This new Biz doc https://www.sho.com/titles/3519441/all-up-in-the-biz is incredible, so many great clips and stories. Losing #Bizmarkie and #ShockG just months apart still bums me, out but seeing all the love for him is v gratifying #hiphop #documentary
@MangoWave compared Gastronaut to @officialbizmarkie and his 2004 track Chinese Food. We’re not going to lie, this one made us do a bit of a 180, but then…

One more for #JukeBoxFridayNight in the #ThatFirstTime theme.
That first time I ever downloaded a mp3 was 1994 and it was Biz Markie "Just A Friend". My dad was kind of a tech geek back then and was like, you can download all this music now in a smaller file format. "Just A Friend" was the first file that came across the newsgroup I was looking at.
Fun fact: I met Biz Markie in 2002 when he came in to the Blockbuster Video I worked at in Laurel, Maryland.
Had a couple #HipHop #Drinkware arrive today. Got a stemless glass featuring Biggie Manatee rocking the Jesus Piece that says Barleywine is Life, and got a Biz Markie rocks glass.
Fun fact: I met Biz Markie in 2002 while working at a Blockbuster in Laurel, MD.
Site I snagged them from:
TIL that #BizMarkie's 1989 hit, "More Than Just A Friend", was based on a 1969 track by #FreddieScott. But that's not all... There are so many interesting tidbits about pop culture, sampling, and the Mandela Effect in this episode of @underunderstood https://underunderstood.com/podcast/episode/more-than-just-a-friend/
35 years ago, Biz Markie released his debut album Goin’ Off (1988). #BizMarkie #GoinOff #80s #80smusic #hiphop #oldschoolhiphop #boomtownpodcast

Seems a fitting choice for while so many people are settling in and learning the ways of where they are now.
Absolutely love this tune. Maybe it's #Donovan 's most deeply funky song (though at the frantic end of funk there is 'Barabajagal', my jam.) In any case the drums and double bass here are just *chef's kiss* imho.
The song had a bit of an afterlife. #KingCrimson used to cover it live. The late, great and diabolical #BizMarkie sampled it in 1991.
