No Diggity

No Diggity

Probably one of my favorite hip-hop tracks is Blackstreet’s song ‘No Diggity’.

No Diggity (1996)

The song had a cameo from Dr. Dre. Musically, It was also a contrast from New Jack Swing music from earlier in the decade. The beat also mixes samples from Bill Withers' Grandma's Hands. (better version of Grandma's Hands)

Check out the Penny Hardaway-like dolls used in this video, which shows the video’s age. There’s not much to the video except women dancing in a wet parking lot at night.

Remixes

The original song is still best, but there are two more remixes from Blackstreet. Both of remixes diverge from the original song.

Here's the first remix

The second uses a Michael Jackson track.

(I believe Chris Rock did the voice for the Lil Penny doll)
