Biz Markie, rap's clown prince, can usually be counted on to deliver goofy humor, and I Need a Haircut is as wildly entertaining as anything he's ever done.
Biz isn't one to rap about his sexual prowess, drive-by shootings near the projects, or Louis Farrakhan's ideology.
In contrast to the sobering gangster rap of N.W.A.
and Ice-T, the angry political protests of Public Enemy and Boogie Down Productions, and the machismo of L.L.
Cool J, Biz Markie seeks only to amuse, entertain, and have fun.
Indeed, rap doesn't get much sillier than "T.S.R.
(Toilet Stool Rap)" and "Kung Fu." The Brooklyn native's third album also contains "Alone Again," the song that incorporated Gilbert O'Sullivan's pop hit "Alone Again Naturally" (allegedly without the pop singer's permission) and inspired a major lawsuit.
