I also liked Mario's (the singer for those who don't know) cover version of that song!
May he rest in peace! Wow, he died too young.

Hoping he makes it through. If not, let him pass gracefully. 
Dude shaped a LOT of formative hip-hop/music back in the day and had a steady background role on many a joint straight on into the aughts. Also on shows, media, everything. Was one of the first that I can recall that wasn't afraid to be whimsical and kept it fun times, was hard without being hardcore.
had this vinyl back in the day, wish I still had it. Shit was hitting so different back then.

Biz has officially passed. 
He was original and one of the best representations of the magic that is hip-hop and Black Excellence. Pouring one out tonight.

Someone on Twitter posted the scene where he was in Men In Black and he was an alien beatbox-talking to Will Smith. That shit was golden.
Little moments like that, he would pop up in without warning. Not gonna be the same.

I lost it when Smith replied with his own beatbox.

Watch "Jeff Goldblum Sings! You got what I need (Just a friend)"
The unlikely pairing of Goldblum and Biz with Black Eyed Peas on the Tonight Show.

Unbelievable. That's an all-time lineup.
