I was an A/V geek in high school and I tried to be creative with the openers for the morning bulletins. I used the instrumental for "Just A Friend" showing different people in our staff passing around a love note that in reality just said Thursday Morning Bulletin. It was such a perfect song.

He’s been pretty sick over the last year.  Lots of health issues.

He had a better flow than people give him credit for.  R.I.P. to the Biz

RIP biz, his verse on scenario was legendary

As in the Tribe track? Are you sure you're not mixing up Biz with Busta Rhymes?

Anyways, R.I.P to The Biz.

Such a character, there's a lot of funny stories about Biz but one of my favorites is one I read in that huge Beastie Boys book. It's from Adrock.

"But probably my favorite of all our Biz stories was when we were recording Hello Nasty. He was supposed to come down to the studio to do some stuff. He was running a little late and we got a call. "Yo, it's me...Biz. I'm downstairs in the car, I'll be right up." We didn't see or hear from him for another two years."

I was wondering this too but thought maybe I hadn't known all along.
