Holy shit! Biz Markie is not only coming to Kansas City, he's playing for free! Here's the deal: the Biz is DJ'ing a free set on the KC Live stage in the Power and Light District at 10:45pm on September 17. Shortly after that (12:30am or so), he'll do a VIP set at Mosaic where I'm guessing there will be a cover, since that place is tiny.
Now, the man can DJ. But, let's be serious, here. Nobody wants to see Biz Markie DJ. We want to see the man beatbox. We want to hear "Just A Friend." We want to hear him spit rhymes like he did on "Let Me Clear My Throat." More importantly, we want to hear him "Make the Music With Your Mouth, Biz." I hope to god we're not stuck seeing him spin records for free (not that I'm knocking free anything, understand?) while those who can convince the bouncers they're "very important people" get to hear the musical mouth.

Show was sick! I haven't seen him in 10 years and Biz is still as crazy as ever. I had a great time!
There is a Biz and Doug E. Fresh remix to "Let Me Clear My Throat". I dare you to try to listen to it and not smile.
I'm trying to think of someone who'd be more fun to hang out with than Biz Markie. He is just effortlessly hilarious.
"Let Me Clear My Throat" was DJ Kool, no? I'd also just like to say that "Hooker Got a Boyfriend" is the most amazing Biz Markie song of all time.
