July 17, 2021 By the80sruled 1 Comment


Biz Markie, aka Marcel Theo Hall, was an American rapper best known for his top ten hit Just A Friend from 1989. In 2008, VH1 ranked Just A Friend at number 100 on it’s list of the 100 greatest hip hop songs of all time. Hall was hospitalized in April 2020 due to severe complications from Type 2 diabetes, and in December 2020, it was reported that he was in a rehabilitation facility as the result of a stroke he suffered while in a diabetic coma.

Sadly, he died in a hospital in Baltimore on Friday, July 16, 2021. At the time of this post, the official cause of death has not been given yet. Biz Markie was only 57 years old.

In his honor, here’s Biz Markie’s music video for this 1989 top ten song Just a Friend. RIP Mr. Hall…
