About
The story of Blackstreet’s breakthrough second album is really the story of “No Diggity,” the realization of group leader Teddy Riley’s dream of merging hip-hop and R&B. This is when the producer’s novel new jack swing sound was fully absorbed into mainstream DNA, affirmed by the presence of Dr. Dre, who, fresh off “California Love,” also ghost-produced the hit. Over barbershop harmonie, Riley’s funky talk-box, chiming key, and Bill Withers’ sampled hum, Blackstreet deliver a rare anthem praising independent women...who sleep around. Amid a set of songs that includes covers of both The Beatles and DeBarge, it’s this song’s spiritual and sonic fusion of Boyz II Men and Jodeci that unifies the album. .
