My second favorite of all time. He’s got everything, flow, the lyrics, street cred, and ties with the best. Cormega was put on the map because of Nas, they grew up in Queensbridge together, and Cormega was expected to be in Nas’ group “The Firm”. Cormega was kicked out before the debut, then and there Cormega started to rise.

Forgotten Legends #2 – Biz Markie
August 11, 2008Nobody beats the Biz. That is the cold hard reality of life. Whether he is on stage or in the studio, Biz Markie has a way of using humor & his signature vocals to captivate audiences & have them eating out of his hand.
Biz Markie is one of the few beatboxers that most hip-hop fans can name & one the few hip-hop artists that is a great MC, a great beatboxer, & a great DJ. Biz is a multiple threat on the mic, tables & beatbox. He has a classic album (IMO) “Goin’ Off”. He was an integral part of the “Juice Crew”, arguably the most important hip-hop crew of all time. He’s a revolutionary in integrating comedy in hip-hop. He’s one of the best storytellers in the history of hip-hop. “I Need A Haircut” is the most important album in regards to the legality of sampling in hip-hop. Sounds like a legend to me.
