Comedian and Biz Markie's friend Tracy Morgan extols the late rapper's wild sense of humor in this exclusive clip from the upcoming documentary on the Clown Prince of Hip-Hop.
Johnny Famous aka “Scoob Lover,” a dancer for Big Daddy Kane, also talked about Biz’s ability at “snaps” — quick one-liner insults about a person or their family. “We all snapped,” he says. “If you went into McDonald’s after, either you was getting robbed or you had to know how to snap.” Morgan adds that Biz would sometimes steal snaps from him, and he’d steal from Biz.
“To be good as a freestyler and in battles, snapping and rapping are one and the same,” Craig G, a Juice Crew member, says. “It’s similar: You have to be able to say the most wittiest thing to be able to throw your opponent off.”— features interviews with DMC, Fat Joe, and Nick Cannon, among others. It traces Biz’s early life growing up with a foster family after the death of his mother and learning to beatbox from Doug E. Fresh through his mainstream successes.
