"These two cds were Biz at his best. Goin' Off featuring the vastly underrated TJ Swan and Biz Never Sleeps perfectly captures the Emmazaa-A-R-KIE reaching his zenith. My Man Rich, Biz in Harmony, Things Get Easier, Make the Music, Albee Square Mall, etc. There's probably only two songs maximum that didn't age well between the two LPs. I love all of the monikers that he calls himself on Never Sleeps. To this day I haven't been able to decipher them all. I'd remembered Goin' Off as a classic but for some reason had forgotten about the hidden treasure that was Never Sleeps. It somehow got overlooked during the all Gangsta or all Daisy age of hip-hop. I had to cop this one as soon as I spotted it. A hall of fame cd for a hall of fame artist."

A Great New Package From The Biz...

"Long before The Biz was busting ryhmes and clowin' with the Beastie Boys, he was a solo Rap artist with an affinity for boogers, as is the case with the hilarious song "Pickin' Boogers". However, often The Biz comes off as an off key Cassanova with "Just A Friend". Unfortunately, his music stylings have often been taken as a joke, which obstructs the listener from discovering the beauty in his prose. This package (I call it that because it contains no new material but two albums in one case) feature's The Biz's 1989 release "Biz Never Sleeps" which is aptly titled because the ryhmes flow together and create a unified album. This package should get a 5 just for Biz Never Sleeps, but Goin Off drags it down a little more as this diamond in the rough was not quite polished to perfection.All and all I recommend this CD to all the old schoolers, and MCs."

Man, if u ain't up on biz yet, you betta cop this cd!
