Biz Markie earned a new generation of fans with his work on 'Yo Gabba Gabba!' His friend and co-star DJ Lance Rock remembers how the 'ambassador of goodwill' made parents and kids alike smile anywhere he went
“You can never underestimate the power of kids,” Lance says. “Skateboarders have kids, punk musicians have kids, surfers have kids, rappers have kids. Just being able to see mom or dad in a different environment, they dug that. The show definitely brought people together that way.And as DJ Lance Rock explains below, his work on the show helped create a unique link between the show’s young audience and their parents.
[Beatboxing] is just another way of expressing yourself and communicating, and everybody wants to do that. Kids are very curious, and even when they can’t articulate, they still want to try to connect with other people. Just making noises with your mouth is a really good way to do that. Scott and Christian were always behind it, and the first time children saw it, they responded to it.
On the later tours, we wanted to make it more of a party, because sometimes the kids got unpredictable, like they didn’t want to beatbox at all. So to make it more entertaining and cohesive, they would bring some kids up see if they wanted to beatbox, and if they didn’t, then they had this mobile turntable and there was a quick DJ set, so it would be a little dance party.
