BIZ MARKIE - JUST A FRIEND (HD) 1080p
BIOGRAPHY *
Marcel Theo Hall (April 8, 1964 – July 16, 2021) was known professionally as BIZ MARKIE, was an American rapper, singer-songwriter, DJ, and record producer.
Markie was best known for his 1989 single "Just a Friend", which became a top 40 hit in several countries. "Just a Friend" was released in September 1989 as the lead single from his album, " The Biz Never Sleeps ". It is Markie's most successful single, reaching number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990. Markie's lyrics describe romantic frustration after pursuing a woman who is actually romantically involved with another man who she falsely claims is "just a friend."
Song interpolates its original "(You) Got What I Need" recorded in 1968 by Freddie Scott, whose basic chord and melody provided the base for the song's chorus.
The single was certified platinum on April 12, 1990.
The music video, directed by Lionel C. Martin, chronicles the rapper/singer's woman problems. At the climax of the video, Biz Markie's character stumbles upon a girl he was trying to date – not his girlfriend – kissing another man she had previously referred to as "just a friend". It also includes a scene of Biz Markie singing the chorus dressed as Mozart in 18th-century clothing with a powdered wig in a candlelit room while playing the piano.
The video was shown in a 1993 episode of MTV's animated series Beavis and Butt-Head, where Butt-Head chortled about the Mozart sequences "He's dressed up like the dude on the dollar" (mistaking Mozart for George Washington); B&B watched the video segment without changing the channel, and the final shot on the episode showed Biz Markie's final few dance moves as his video ended.
