Um, as hilarious as the line "Despite his looks and the way he acts, Biz, is not a mentally challenged human being." is to myself, it's not particularly professional, so I've scrapped it. --Shinyplasticbag 02:18, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

What would be the best way to introduce Markie's several "guest star" appearances in In Living Color in 1993 and 1994? B.Wind 10:23, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Contents 1 The writing in this piece is... 2 More guest appearances 3 Youtube Video 4 Oh Snap! / Merge Suggestion

[edit] The writing in this piece is...

atrocious. Grammatical errors throughout.

I don't know if there's been any vandalism on this page, but it sure looks like it.

[edit] More guest appearances

Biz is also featured on the album "Sillium" by Fünf Sterne Deluxe. He raps some parts in "Will Smith, Meer Gayne", a parody of another song by Fünf Sterne Deluxe called "Willst du mit mir geh'n".

[edit] Youtube Video

Who's the retard who tried to imbed a Youtube video in this? I removed the badly done attempt. For the record, I don't think you can do this. TDude695 00:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oh Snap! / Merge Suggestion

There has been a lot of concern that Oh Snap! doesn't warrant an article on its own, and that most of what has been written about it constitutes OR. I'm suggesting a merge to include it as a small paragraph in this article since its creation is attributed to Biz Markie.--Crossmr 16:15, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Uh, it's great that this merge went through and all, but I came here looking for "oh snap" and the article says nothing about it. The phrase doesn't even appear anywhere in it.

Not every reference given is in thorough detail, but I've never in my life heard "Oh snap!" used as a 'salutation,' as is stated here. If this is true, and to my knowledge it's not, it should still most definitely take a back seat to the definition synonymous with "Zing!" --CO

Oh Snap should not be merged here, if it's not going to be even mentioned. --Wolfer68 (talk) 23:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

There's not a single reference to "oh snap" in the entire article. Why does "oh snap" re-direct here? Kar98 (talk) 23:45, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
