Just a Friend - Biz Markie

"Just a Friend" by Biz Markie is a humorous and heartfelt hip-hop track about unrequited love and betrayal. The song tells the story of Biz falling for a girl who insists that another guy in her life is "just a friend." Despite his hopes, he eventually discovers that she was lying and was romantically involved with the other guy. Delivered in Biz Markie’s signature off-key singing and playful storytelling style, the song blends comedy with genuine heartbreak, making it an enduring classic about love gone wrong.

gav
Um, yeah. Refurb videos of fucking my actual jam. Yep.

yeah Okay, verse one. Have you ever met a girl that you tried to date but a year to but a year to make love she wanted you to wait?

04:35.32
Chibbs
Let me tell you a story of my situation. I was talking to this girl from the US nation. so white The way that I met her was on tour, at a concert. She had long hair and a short mini skirt. I just got on stage, dripping, pouring with sweat.

04:55.11
Chibbs
I was walking through the crowd and guess who I met? I whispered in her ear, come to the picture booth so I can ask you some questions to see if you're 100 proof. I asked her her name. She said, blah, blah, blah. I'll stop there.

05:15.70
gav
but

05:16.25
Bevo
Ooh, mystery.

05:19.44
Bevo
Is he not American?

05:19.13
Chibbs
I believe he's very much American.

05:21.43
gav
Yeah, he's American.

05:24.03
Bevo
Why does he have to specify?

05:24.58
gav
Yeah.

05:24.19
Chibbs
Yeah. Well, it's just, it's like, you know, I can be like, oh, yeah, actually it's funny. I met my girlfriend in the nation of Australia. She'd be like, do you travel much?

05:34.62
gav
He

05:35.11
Chibbs
No, no.

05:36.63
gav
He was born in, he was born in Harlem, New York city in 1964. So yeah, he's fucking very American.

05:41.25
Bevo
Cause it, yeah, like it implies he's not tall or guessing from another country, but apparently not.

05:41.53
Chibbs
Yeah.

05:46.04
Chibbs
I mean, does the US nation count like if you're in like American Samoa or Puerto Rico or Hawaii?

05:51.73
Bevo
Hawaii or so yeah Alaska.

05:53.04
gav
and quiet Yeah. Um, Guam is Guam.

05:55.91
Chibbs
Alas.

05:57.15

05:59.97
Chibbs
Yeah.

06:02.71
gav
I don't know what the fuck they're called.

06:03.72
Chibbs

06:07.06
gav
yeah

06:08.00
Chibbs
Yeah.

06:09.63
Bevo
Um,

06:08.77

06:21.54
gav

06:22.23
Chibbs
It's just like they the air-conditioned van pulls up right at the back of the stage. It's just like, okay, Bismarcky, you're up. And he's like, wow, I've got to get all the way up those stairs.

06:35.12

Pouring with sweat as he gets onto the stage.

06:44.28
Bevo
I also like them. He turns into Yoda for a second here, but a year to make love. She wanted you to wait.

06:50.53
Chibbs
Yeah, it's confusing to read. I'm like, wait, what? Yeah. So, um, it's bizarre to start it with this of like, have you ever met a girl you try on the date? She said she won't fuck you for a year. It's like, wait, what? What are you trying to date? Like, why does that come up already?

07:13.44
Chibbs

07:14.83
gav
Yeah, yeah.

07:24.31

07:38.06
Chibbs
12 months from near now, now, now.

07:42.91
gav
I'll also say, the the fact that he whispered that in her ear, that's a very long sentence to whisper in someone's ear. He's literally leaned in and gone, That's too long.

07:48.81
Bevo
Yeah.

07:55.70
Chibbs
What's 100 proof?

07:58.25
gav
100 proof would be like, I think alcohol, right?

07:59.26
Chibbs
Okay, alcohol?

08:04.65
Chibbs
Right.

08:06.24
gav
The good shit's 100 proof.

08:08.56
Chibbs
Okay. All right, so he just wants to know if she's good.

08:12.58
gav

08:14.08
Chibbs
Okay, fair enough.

08:15.58

08:29.11
Chibbs
I like this. It's like, I'm really interested in you. You look, you look good. And, um, I think we really could have a relationship. What's your name? Uh, and then not absorb it at all.

08:40.83
Bevo
No, I reckon it's her real name like blah blah blah Smith Yeah

08:41.11
gav
Honestly, that is the most, the most relatable line.

08:41.51
Chibbs
Yeah. yeah

08:44.99

08:59.18
Chibbs
Nah, I couldn't tell you.

09:00.85
Bevo
I've said it before, it's like when someone tells you their name, it's like a bubble that comes out of their mouth and just goes pop.

09:01.50
Chibbs
How long do you let it go?

09:06.43
gav

You say he's just a friend. Oh baby, you got what I need, but you say he's just a friend, but you say he's just a friend. Well, then what's the problem?

14:27.66
gav
Yeah, he's just a friend. I think she said it that many times you take the hint She clearly wants she clearly wants you more mate.

14:33.27
Chibbs
And also, even if she's lying, whatever, Bismarcky.

14:39.28
gav
She's clearly after your shit.

14:39.17
Chibbs
Yeah, you're in the you're in the picture booth with her, like, you know, don't marry her.

14:42.40
gav
yeah Yeah She can clearly afford that many pairs of pants, you know and

14:46.37
Chibbs
ah Yeah, you want to marry someone that's got that many pairs of pants, for one. Yeah, yeah. and um But what does she have what does she have that he needs? Like, is it insulin?

15:02.28
gav
ah you I was like, you're you're familiar with how he died, right?

15:02.64
Bevo
It's definitely not sex, because he's waiting.

15:03.37
Chibbs
so

15:08.38
Bevo
Oh, no.

15:08.27
Chibbs
ah Yeah, I do, I ah vaguely remember reading about it.

15:09.80
gav
Yeah,

15:13.32
gav
Bismarck, he died um from, I think type two, is it type two? um type two do i but Type two diabetes.

15:18.79
Chibbs
That's right, there are dope movies.

15:21.08
gav
So insulin joke really hit the fucking mark, man, you did well.

15:21.42
Chibbs
Fuck, well the insulin joke really works then.

15:26.68
gav
It didn't get the laughter deserved, but um

15:27.56
Bevo
I thought his life imitates art.

15:26.96
Chibbs
Thank you.

15:29.75
Chibbs
Hopefully, hopefully there's people in their cars driving towards the telegraph pole right now.

15:33.19
gav
slapping their steering wheel gone. Classic insulin joke. The problem is the people the people that get it are probably in the US and they're also crying over the price of insulin.

15:36.63
Chibbs
wow

15:41.61
gav
So we get that for what?

15:41.77
Bevo
yeah

15:41.81
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah, yeah, fair enough.

15:44.77
gav
Is it it free? Yeah, it's free.

15:46.20
Chibbs
It's free, yeah.

15:48.93
Bevo
Yeah.

15:49.47
Chibbs
Verse two. So I took BlaBla's word for it this time.

15:58.06
Chibbs
so

15:59.30
Bevo
Yeah, that's a real name. I reckon that's a real name like blah, blah Smith or something.

16:02.31
gav
Oh fuck, that is such a good callback, I love that.

16:01.43
Chibbs
yeah yeah

16:06.04
Bevo
Blah, blah, blah.

16:05.15
Chibbs
That's great. So I took BlaBla's word for it this time. I thought just having a friend couldn't be no crime. Because I have friends and that's a fact. Like like Agnes, Agatha, Jermaine and Jack.

16:23.07
Chibbs
Forget about that, let's go into the story ah about a girl named blah blah blah that ah that adored me. So we started talking, getting familiar, spending a lot of time so we can build a relationship or some understanding. Some understanding.

16:45.06
Chibbs
It's not the same. A relationship and and understanding aren't the same things at all. um How it's going to be in the future. We was planning everything.

16:55.01
gav
Wrap it there, wrap it there.

16:56.44
Chibbs
I'll wrap it there. All right. Oh, fuck. Yeah. Okay. Fair enough.

16:59.88
gav
That's, that's, that's the midpoint of this verse.

16:59.06
Chibbs
Yeah. Okay.

17:02.35
Bevo
I like that he all his friends live in a nursing home.

17:01.80

17:10.17
gav
Jesus Christ.

17:11.87
Bevo
Agnes.

17:12.63
gav
Um,

17:13.39
Chibbs
I like that he's it's funny the whole like, all right, I'm obviously not cool with the fact that she said that she's got this friend that's a dude, but you know, yeah I've got friends.

17:25.80
gav
Yeah, that's how he's justified.

17:25.21

He's like, I also have some of those.

17:26.45
Chibbs
It's okay. It's okay. It's all right. It's all right. I got friends. I got friends and friends. And then it's like, let's go back into the story.

17:32.04
Bevo
Forget about that. Forget about it. but

17:33.09
gav
I like that we're like halfway through verse two and he's like, now let's get into the story that he told us about in like the first.

17:32.33
Chibbs
sir but ah Yeah. Yeah, a quarter of the way through the verse, he kind of went off on a tangent about how he's pretty like insecure about the fact that she's got this friend.

17:46.36
Bevo
Oh, had you read the annotation?

17:47.33
Chibbs
And he's like, I'm sure it's fine. Let me just tell you about what happened.

17:50.90

21:40.39
Chibbs
That's what I mean, yeah, yeah.

21:41.66
gav
Yeah.

21:41.93

Chibbs
Eating beans.

Bevo
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, he's not Dennis the fucking mensch, is he?

Not on his dick is what I meant to say.

28:45.42
gav
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I know. But his heart going south. Yeah. If that was his heart on his dick, then yeah, maybe he was a bit turned on seeing this guy with his girl. I don't know, man. He sounds a bit kinky. He sounds a bit clinky.

Chibbs
Yeah, he's looking but looking around to see if there's a chair in the corner of the room or anything.

Chibbs
Oh, yeah, good slatted cupboards. Good. Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah that's right.

29:10.93
Bevo
I mean, he's in denial from the start because he's been, he's been calling and the guy's picking up.

29:15.76
gav
Yeah.

29:16.51
Chibbs
He's like, no that's cool. just um If I fill in the right paperwork, I can definitely go and visit her.

29:24.59
gav
ah

29:24.95
Bevo
Do you reckon she's saying to the dude as well, like who was that? ah It's Biz, my friend Biz.

29:30.27
gav
My friend Biz.

29:30.08
Chibbs
to my friend Biz. yeah

29:33.66
gav
Biz Marky.

29:35.21
Chibbs
<unk> ah This was released in on September 26, 1989 as a lead single from his album, The Biz Never Sleeps. That is 4,368 days before the towers fell.

29:49.37
gav
Oh, nice.

29:53.83
Chibbs
yeah it The Biz Never Sleeps.

29:55.44
gav
Almost as many as the bangles check, but not quite.

29:58.67
Chibbs
Yeah, written by Marcel Theo Hall, aka Biz Marky.

30:07.97
Bevo
Soul Songwriter, no?

30:07.16
Chibbs
Yeah.

30:09.87
gav
Um, that's cool.

30:10.80
Chibbs
Yeah, that's it.

30:13.10
gav
Yeah.

30:12.54
Chibbs
Yep. Yep. Soul Songwriter. His third studio album was called I Need a Haircut. And ah it was released in 1991.

30:21.26
Bevo
running low on ITs t walked into the barber and there were five guys in the queue sat down and grabbed a magazine I didn't know what to do

30:24.54
Chibbs
And he produced it with his cousin and everything. as so

30:35.58
Chibbs
So this is pretty lengthy, but real interesting. So but I'll read this.

30:40.79
gav
All right, we'll cop it.

30:40.78
Chibbs
it's it's some So yeah, I Need a Haircut came out in 1991. He produced it with his cousin and sales of the albums were real poor, like real bad.

30:54.17
Chibbs
And after it came out, he got served with a lawsuit um by Gilbert O'Sullivan, like the playwright, who claimed that the album's Alone Again featured an unauthorised sample from his hit Alone Again.

31:05.69
gav
Right.

31:13.26
Bevo
and naturally yeah that's a good song

31:14.52
Chibbs
yeah And yeah, O'Sullivan's claim was upheld in a landmark ruling of grand upright music versus Water Brothers that altered the landscape of hip-hop, finding that all samples must be cleared with the original artist before being used. In a quarter to the ruling, Water Brothers ah had to pull I Need a Haircut from circulation and all companies had to clear samples with the sample creators before releasing the records.

31:45.98
Chibbs
ah which reflected an increasing popularity of hip-hop and the financial stakes involved. Markey responded in 1993 with a mischievously titled, All Samples Cleared.

31:56.36
Chibbs
That's the name of the album.

31:57.92
gav
ah That's pretty good.

31:59.30
Bevo
good

31:58.77
Chibbs
ah But his career was fucked after the lawsuit and the album being pulled.

31:59.76
Bevo
Good.

32:03.97
Chibbs
um And the lawsuit, it really, it just fucking, like, it absolutely killed, like, yeah, financially, everything, completely fucked in.

32:08.76
Bevo
Guild him.

32:09.28
gav
Broke him.

32:09.90
Bevo
Yeah.

32:12.72
Bevo
I heard, I heard the beastie boys were sort of behind the sampling thing as well.

32:12.90
Chibbs
me

32:16.54
Chibbs
I thought it was public enemy.

32:18.96
gav
Mmm.

32:19.53
Bevo
Right. And maybe, yeah, maybe it's a bunch of people at once.

32:19.26
Chibbs
ah Apparently it's Bismarcky.

32:22.62
Bevo
Cause the, but the, is it ill, listen to ill that has heaps or like Led Zeppelin and.

32:25.94
Chibbs
Well nah, Lost in Steel. Yeah, but Lost in Steel was... ah No, Lost in Steel has... some it's It's Kerry King from Slayer playing all the guitar on it.

32:38.42
Bevo
No, it must be another one then.

32:38.46
gav
Oh, is it?

32:39.98
Chibbs
Yeah.

32:41.23
Bevo
One of the early ones anyway.

32:41.23
Chibbs
Yeah.

32:42.39
Bevo
Yeah. What, whatever the one is that has all the Led Zeppelin samples and ACD and shit.

32:43.04
Chibbs
um Yeah. Uh, yeah, I thought it was like fear of the black planet or something was the one that, that maybe that was the last one that they could release without having to have samples cleared.

32:57.78
Bevo
Hmm.

32:57.53
Chibbs
Like that one was, that one got through and then Bismarck he came and they went, nah, we're not having this anymore.

32:58.79
gav
Right. Yeah.

33:03.03
Bevo
This is it. I actually tried to look up that alone again because I like the song and it's not on any streaming or anything.

33:04.40
Chibbs
Yeah.

33:07.71
Chibbs
Hmm.

Chibbs
Yeah, strange. Is there a video?

36:30.02
gav
There is a fucking video. did did it

36:47.50
Bevo
Pretty typical what's happening in the lyrics is happening on screen fare until Biz appears in full powdered wig, playing a dusty old piano as if the chorus of this song resembled anything even remotely close to classical music.

36:58.75
Chibbs
Yes, what what a weird choice that was. It's just because they're like, this got a piano on it.

37:05.15
Bevo
yeah

37:05.03
Chibbs
That's like that old shit.

37:06.59
Bevo
yeah yeah

37:06.98
gav
I'll tell you what it's like um the bit where he comes in on the on that old piano wearing the white wig and stuff it reminds me exactly we're talking about 30 rock earlier right it reminds me exactly of like a Tracy Morgan skit on 30 rock yeah in that scene it looks exactly like something off fucking 30 rock oh

37:15.25
Chibbs
yeah yeah he is he looks a bit like Tracy Morgan yeah he yeah wait the 47 year olds are meant to be high school kids yeah

37:17.91
Bevo
Hades is very Tracy Morgan like, hey. How's the first bit they're doing like the your mama jokes and stuff, but it's very like the bit in grace where John Travolta is telling his mates about Sandy.

37:33.50
gav
ah yeah

37:36.74
Bevo
Yeah. But they're all very close. Like they're pretty much hugging.

37:42.48
Bevo
Yeah.

37:42.83
gav
There's, there's at least three men making contact with him there.

37:44.51
Chibbs
I wouldn't like that at all.

37:46.26
Bevo
No.

37:46.27
Chibbs
I wouldn't like that.

37:47.35
Bevo
Yeah.

37:47.58

37:48.78
Bevo
Yeah, same.

Chibbs
Yeah.

38:05.25

38:04.73
Chibbs
Shaq. Shaq Attack. Well, Shaq had a bunch of rap albums.

38:08.46
Bevo
Did he?

38:09.35
gav
Oh shit.

38:10.16
Bevo
No way.

38:09.23
Chibbs
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There was always a big criticism in his and NBA career that he didn't focus on basketball enough because he was making movies and rap albums at the same time.

38:17.98
Bevo
What would you,

38:20.10
gav
Fucking good on him.

38:20.05
Chibbs
Yeah.

38:21.94

Chibbs
Yeah. It didn't hurt.

38:24.95
gav
Jesus.

38:25.00
Bevo
we're going to talk about that.

38:24.40
Chibbs
Yeah. Yeah. It's just like, sorry, won four championships.

38:29.02
Bevo
We didn't talk about the fact that he wasn't meant to sing the hook in this.

38:29.43
gav
Oh, is that the deal? Cause the hook is so, it's so loosely, so it's so funny.

38:34.45
Chibbs
Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Fuck.

38:37.60
Bevo
It's terrible.

38:36.78
Chibbs
I must've, I must've, I must've skipped that because I did have that written down here.

38:38.79
gav
It's so funny.

38:40.15
Bevo
He, yeah, apparently they had someone to sing the hook, like a good singer, professional singer, and they didn't turn up.

38:44.87
Chibbs
Yeah. They didn't turn up.

38:47.05
Bevo
So he just did it.

38:47.64
gav
Oh my God.

38:48.10
Bevo
And that's, I reckon that's the charm of the song is this fucking terrible.

38:48.28
gav
And he just did it. That's a hundred percent. It makes it so much funnier that he's singing that bit.

38:52.58
Chibbs
It wouldn't have been, it wouldn't have been as good if he didn't, if he hadn't done it now.

38:54.89
Bevo
Yeah.

38:55.68
gav
Oh, nowhere near, nowhere near. That's a such a great fact.

38:57.61
Chibbs
Yeah. Yeah, it's those classic, oh, they didn't turn up. So I just did it and became a hit. It's like the Macy Grey, the I try thing where she was booked as a, um, just as a backup vocalist.

39:08.02
Bevo
Hmm.

39:13.95
gav
Oh, shit.

39:14.39
Chibbs

Bevo
way. I didn't know that.

39:22.21
gav
Fuck.
