Before Drake. Before T-Paine showed the world how to sing with Auto-Tune, and before Kanye's "808s and Heartbreaks", Biz Markie stood on business in 1989 with a massive hit, "Just A Friend". At a time when most rappers were bragging about how much of a ladies' man they were, Markie sang off-key and told everyone how his girl played him. Markie was a pioneer for being vulnerable in his songs and for being one of the first rappers to sing in a song, but, was he a hip hop legend or one hit wonder?
