Just a Friend has one of the greatest sing along as loud as possible choruses of all time.

RIP Biz Markie

RIP - met him a few (10?) years ago when Yo Gabba Gabba was doing a tour and my daughter was into that show. Did a meet and greet and got a picture of her with Biz. He was a patient, nice gentleman.

I just watched a movie today called "Adam", which featured this song in one scene...

RIP

I remember that song was in heavy rotation on Yo MTV Raps and I assume he kept most of his stuff clean and no profanity which was rare in rap.

I saw him DJ a few years ago (~ 3) in Vegas during Black Hat, he ended by singing Just a Friend. Was fun.
