"No Diggity" is a song by American R&B group Blackstreet featuring Dr. Dre and Queen Pen.
The song peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot
100 and in New Zealand, and number nine in the United Kingdom.
"No Diggity" ended "Macarena"'s
14-week reign atop the US Billboard Charts. It ranked at number 91 on Rolling
Stone and MTV:
100 Greatest Pop Songs. It 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 and
was nominated forGrammy Award for Best R&B Song.
It ranked at #32 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the '90s.
Between Blackstreet's sung verses are rap verses performed by Dre,
Teddy Riley and Queen Pen. Despite the fact that some of Dr. Dre & Queen
Pen's lyrics are censored, there are no "dirty" versions of the song.
Also, there is a radio version that excludes both rappers and features
Blackstreet only, tailor made for airplay on Top 40 Pop and Adult R&B
stations.
The song's musical backing track is an altered sample from the
beginning of "Grandma's Hands" by R&B hitmaker Bill
Withers.
In the United Kingdom, the song climbed back into the top forty of
the UK Singles Chart in March 2013, peaking at
number thirty eight 16 years after its original release there.
