message: There has been a lot of concern that Oh Snap! doesn't warrant an article on its own, and that most of what has been written about it constitutes OR. I'm suggesting a merge to include it as a small paragraph in this article since its creation is attributed to Biz Markie.--Crossmr 16:15, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There used to be information in this article about "Oh, Snap" and its being picked up and popularized later.  What happened to it? I agree about the merge: it shouldn't redirect here if there is no explanation. Ileanadu (talk) 11:04, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Um, as hilarious as the line "Despite his looks and the way he acts, Biz, is not a mentally challenged human being." is to myself, it's not particularly professional, so I've scrapped it. --Shinyplasticbag 02:18, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: He's not retarded? After seeing the tune-up commercial, his mannerisms and speech sure do make him look retarded. He has that retard grin and jacked up teeth after he says "auto-magically" at the end. Oh well, he looks retarded even if he's not.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.255.87.96 (talk) 20:54, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

message: What would be the best way to introduce Markie's several "guest star" appearances in In Living Color in 1993 and 1994? B.Wind 10:23, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "guest star" appearances in "In Living Color" 

message: I always figured Biz Markie's stage name was a punning reference to Otto von Bismarck. Though I don't think I ever saw any explicit statement to that effect. It just seemed obvious. What else could it mean?
But once I went looking for such an explanation, I noticed it was conspicuously absent. And, come to think of it, maybe references to nineteenth-century European historical figures (or even to  World War II battleships named after them) wouldn't have a lot of recognition value to hip-hop fans in the 80s. So maybe I was wrong on that one.
In any case, an explanation of where the stage name "Biz Markie" came from, or at least when the artist started using it (along with the requisite citation from a reliable source) would be a nice addition to this article.

replies: text: Thanks for pointing that out. Four years later, that claim was still being made on the German Wikipedia, still without a citation. I took it out. TypoBoy (talk) 15:35, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

message: A ticketing website is not RS for BLP, so EventBrite can’t be used for the claim he attended Longwood High School. And the second citation for that claim doesn’t even MENTION Longwood High School. 
I can’t edit the piece since it’s locked, but these are BLP violations. I don’t think Patchogue-Medford, which some have claimed is necessarily correct, so I’ve removed the citation I had placed here. We need to remove any mention of his high school until we have proper RS.—2600:1017:B802:34E:84BD:7FA7:E0E7:F7C5 (talk) 19:57, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
