Gabba Gabba What?
Are they good?
They better be good.
What were your favorite kids' shows growing up?
"Zoom," "Electric Company," "Sesame Street." I like Oscar the Grouch.
Does Biz have a future in children's programming?
I really want to be the black Mr. Rogers, that's my goal. I would do everything the same, but with a hip-hop feel to it. [Biz raps "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood."]
You're the pioneer of working the turntables with your belly. How'd that happen?
I didn't really invent it, I just made it popular. I used to practice with Cash Money and Jazzy Jeff, and they'd be trying out all kinds of crazy things. I said, "I'm gonna put this in my repertoire."
Did you really coin the phrase "Oh, snap"?
Yes, that was one of my sayings. I was always saying that. Like, "Oh, snap! Guess what I just saw?"
What do you think about the state of hip-hop today, the way much of it has become all gangsta all the time?
I can't knock the rappers today. I just think it should be more individualist in the game. When something comes out now, everybody follows it, they sound the same, dress the same way. When we came out, it wasn't about that, it was different. We were worried about sounding like somebody else.
