ayo tracy, thanks for this phrase. i never know how i’ll flip the rubick’s when I’m rotating these words, and these brought me back to the 80s. i wrote this verse to a live recording of biz markie beatboxing for roxanne shante. i chose it after watching her movie because it reminded me of when i first saw biz. on a saturday afternoon, he drove to a video rental store a block from my building. i was with friends watching from the corner as a small crowd formed outside the store and someone told me that biz was in the spot buying benny hill video tapes [which was bugged since it was a rental spot.] for a kid, it was a dope moment that lasted a couple of minutes and it was the first time i saw a rapper in person.
