No Diggity is a song by American R&B group Blackstreet, serving as the first single from their second studio album, Another Level (1996). Featuring Dr. Dre and Queen Pen, the song was released on July 29, 1996, by Interscope. It reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 and topped the charts in Iceland and New Zealand. The song ended "Macarena's" 14-week reign at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. In the United Kingdom, it peaked at number nine. "No Diggity" was the final number-one single of Cash Box magazine. The track sold 1.6 million copies in 1996 and won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. It includes samples from Bill Withers's "Grandma's Hands". The music video for the song was directed by Hype Williams.

"No Diggity" ranked at number 91 on Rolling Stone and MTV's "100 Greatest Pop Songs." It was also placed at number 32 on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the '90s," number 407 on Q Magazine's" "1001 Best Songs Ever,"[2] number 33 on Blender's" "Greatest Songs Since You Were Born,"[3] and number 43 on NME's" "100 Best Songs of the 1990s."[4]

Background

[edit]

At Future Records Recording Studios, Teddy Riley's former studio in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Riley encountered William "Skylz" Stewart experimenting with a sample of "Grandma's Hands" by Bill Withers. Riley insisted that Stewart provide him with the sample.[5][6] Riley originally offered the song to Guy as part of their brief reunion in 1996. After failing to record any material, he suggested the song to Guy's lead singer Aaron Hall, who declined to participate in the recording. [7] Subsequently, he offered the song to his other group, Blackstreet. In a 2010 interview, Riley revealed that the song was initially a hard sell among group members. He stated:

"None of the guys liked 'No Diggity.' None of them. They would even say it. That's why I'm singing the first verse. You know how they say they pushed the little one out there to see if it tastes good and see if he would get egged? Well, they pushed me out there – and it became a hit. And now they wish they were singing the first verse so that they could have the notoriety like me. So they trust what I'm saying..."[8]

Upon the release of the finished recording by Blackstreet, Tupac and Death Row responded with a diss track containing numerous insults aimed at Dr. Dre, set to an instrumental sampling "No Diggity." However, they were forced to replace the production after Blackstreet issued the label a cease and desist order, preventing them from distributing the song.[9] An updated version of this response, "Toss It Up," would be released under his Makaveli alias just days after his death, featuring Aaron Hall.

Content

[edit]

The song's musical backing track features an altered sample from the beginning of "Grandma's Hands" by R&B singer Bill Withers.[10]Dr. Dre's opening rap of the song finishes with "The original rump shakers" referencing Teddy Riley's other group Wreckx-n-Effect's 1992 song "Rump Shaker".[11]

Critical reception

[edit]

The song garnered acclaim from music critics. Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Finally honing his Boz Scaggs-like vocal style, [Teddy] Riley utilizes his infallible production and recent free agent Dr. Dre to ensure the single's add to several radio formats, as well as club and personal boombox playlists." He added, "As always, other BLACKstreet members perform superbly."[12]

James Bernard from Entertainment Weekly felt that "beatwise, it struts confidently, accompanied by a light keyboard action. Voices, including guest Dr. Dre's, croon and rap with a sexual urgency notable even by today's standards."[13]

A reviewer from Knight Ridder described it as an "uptempo excursion" and a "pointed, post-hip-hop strut."[14]

Connie Johnson from Los Angeles Times felt "No Diggity" "is definitely one of this year’s most delectable dance releases."[15]

Tony Farsides from Music Week's RM Dance Update gave the song four out of five, commenting, "A real grower which is already popular in the clubs, the song features Blackstreet's trademark harmonies interspersed with rap and a killer grand piano sample following the chorus. Unlikely to cross over but a good bet for R&B fans and the lower reaches of the charts."[16]

Malaysian New Straits Times stated that sampling Bill Withers's bluesy "Grandma's Hands" and fitting it with a swingbeat base "instantly transforms the song into a hip-hop masterpiece of unimaginable brilliance."[17]

Jon Pareles from New York Times noted that the track uses a spiky Bill Withers guitar lick and features a rap by Dr. Dre, who promises that listeners will be "giving up eargasms with my mellow accent."[18]

People Magazine's reviewer stated that "by combining R&B vocals with hip hop's aggressive beats," "that powerful one-two punch flavors 'No Diggity,' which takes a nasty Delta blues riff and marries it to lip-smacking lasciviousness. The result is an instant, five-minute pop classic."[19]

David Fricke from Rolling Stone felt that "when Blackstreet drop the bomb, though, you feel it. The guttural piano riff [...] is a kick that will not quit."[20]

Michael A. Gonzales for Vibe wrote that "with a mellow D-Funk rap intro from Dr. Dre, this track pumps like a Lexus roaring down 125th Street as the Harlem neighborhood hotties look on with glee. 'I can't get her outta my mind / I think about the girl all the time,' Teddy whines about his object of desire, over haunting keyboards and astonishingly bouncy, minimalist production."[21]

Music video

[edit]

The accompanying music video for the song is directed by Hype Williams[22] and features Blackstreet members in front of a beach house standing in the sand, dancers on a wet road in front of black limousines, and marionettes throughout the video playing the piano sample, on guitar, and as a couple of replicas of the band members, respectively. The music video was released for the week ending on August 11, 1996.

Impact and legacy

[edit]

Bill Lamb from About.com complimented the song as "the peak of the work" created by Teddy Riley, "a key architect of new jack swing. 'No Diggity' is that genre fully refined."[23]

Tom Ewing of Freaky Trigger remarked that the song "is first of all capitalism in its slinkiest form, in every sense classy. A hymn to money, sex, upward mobility, 'No Diggity' triumphs over every other swingbeat anthem because it walks it so much like it talks it."[24]

NME called it "such a classy concoction of urban swagger and classic R&B."[25]

Q Magazine ranked it number 407 in their list of "1001 Best Songs Ever" in 2003.[26]

Blender listed "No Diggity" number 33 on their ranking of "Greatest Songs Since You Were Born" in 2005.[27]

Slant Magazine listed the song number 15 in their ranking of "The 100 Best Singles of the 1990s" in 2011.[28]

NME placed it number 43 on their "100 Best Songs of the 1990s" list in 2012.[29]

Polish Porcys listed the song number 80 in their ranking of "100 Singles 1990-1999" in 2012, noting that it "probably [is] Riley's most perfect pop moment."[30]

Rolling Stone included "No Diggity" in their lists of "50 Best Songs of the Nineties" and "500 Best Songs of All Time" in 2019 and 2021 at numbers two and 424.[31][32]

VH1 put it on number 32 in their list of "100 Greatest Songs of the '90s".

Billboard magazine ranked it number 91 in their "500 Best Pop Songs of All Time" in October 2023,[33] saying, "No song sounded like it at the time, and no song has re-captured its full effect since."

In 2024, Esquire ranked "No Diggity" number 28 in their "The 50 Best Songs of the ’90s".[34]
