<P> The song interpolates the 1968 song `` You Got What I Need '' recorded by Freddie Scott , whose basic chord and melody provided the base for the song 's chorus and made it famous . Due to the widespread popularity of the song along with its acclaim and its influence on pop culture ( and his failure to have another charting Hot 100 song ) , Biz was classified by VH1 as a one - hit wonder , and `` Just a Friend '' was ranked 81st on VH1 's 100 Greatest One - Hit Wonders in 2000 , and later as number 100 on VH1 's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop in 2008 . Karma , a staff record producer for Cold Chillin ' Records , told Vibe magazine in 2005 that he produced the single , but never received credit . </P>
