Throwback Thursdays: Biz Markie

DateThursday, April 12, 2012 at 9:20AM

I don't care what year it is, this jam has never gone out of style. The Biz is still out there workin it. One of my favorite stories about my mother (who drove a schoolbus for 30 years) takes place in 1989. I would ride my mothers bus (before I had my license) and would bring my enormous boombox along to provide tunes for my peers (otherwise Ma would play the Christian radio station). I must have played "Just A Friend" often enough that ol' Judy got to know it pretty well. One day on the way home from school she lead the entire bus in the chorus "OH BABY YOUUUUUU.....YOU GOT WHAT I NEEEEEED". Never been more proud.
