NO DIGGITY

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 12 March 2008 18:54 (eighteen years ago)

good grief "No Diggity" forever

Euler, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 18:55 (eighteen years ago)

this is kinda hard!

deej, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 18:56 (eighteen years ago)

I thought it was hard until I went "oh yeah, 'No Diggity'".

HI DERE, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

why is that such an obvious answer??

deej, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

I thought it was hard until I went "oh yeah, 'No Diggity'".

Jordan, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 18:59 (eighteen years ago)

it was the only song i could think of that would stand up against return of the mack

and what, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 18:59 (eighteen years ago)

guess that kinda backfired

and what, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 18:59 (eighteen years ago)

original poll idea was return of the mack vs you know whats up by donnell jones

and what, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:00 (eighteen years ago)

someone explain this anti-mack bias

deej, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:00 (eighteen years ago)

"Return of the Mack" has a good beat but it's not going to beat "No Diggity" on that. The vocal on "Return of the Mack" has that weird pinched sound. I mean, it's a great song too, but still, "No Diggity"!

good poll

Euler, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:00 (eighteen years ago)

why is that such an obvious answer??

Mostly because while I love "Return of the Mack", I have never played it on repeat for 90 minutes and then still wanted to listen to it afterwards.

HI DERE, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:01 (eighteen years ago)

i really would rather listen to return of the mack

and what, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:02 (eighteen years ago)

unlike dan i actually think its harder to get tired of - no diggity is too stuck in this weird new jack swing/hip-hop/doo wop mode to really hit all the pleasure centers like mark morrison n/h

and what, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:02 (eighteen years ago)

Another plus for "No Diggity" in my book is that I can sing along to it because it's sung in the baritone range.

(xp: I think "Return of the Mack" is nigh-undeniable EXCEPT for when compared to "No Diggity", a song I practically feel in my bones.)

HI DERE, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:04 (eighteen years ago)

HI DERE, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:06 (eighteen years ago)

The vocal on "Return of the Mack" has that weird pinched sound.

this is totally the reason I love "Return of the Mack."

Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:06 (eighteen years ago)

return of the mack is actually more in my range tho i end up sounding like dude from maroon 5 :-/

Return of the Mack, no contest.

xhuxk, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:15 (eighteen years ago)

return of the mack has a stronger wistful emotional punch

deej, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:15 (eighteen years ago)

Yep, "Mack."

Eric H., Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:23 (eighteen years ago)

NO DIGGITY BY THE HUGEST MARGIN POSSIBLE

Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:30 (eighteen years ago)

someone explain this anti-mack bias

i for one don't get it. in high school i would wait for a friend of mine after school every day & i'd blast RoTM on a boombox when he came into view. he wasn't annoyed at all. it made him feel majestic.

myndbloom, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:31 (eighteen years ago)

As much as "No Diggity" is one of my favorite songs ever, fuck a motherfucker who would vote against "Return of the Mack".

The Reverend, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:24 (eighteen years ago)

The Rev has perfectly expressed my quandry. Still voted No Diggity, though.

chap, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:25 (eighteen years ago)

i think i have to give this to mack

gff, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:34 (eighteen years ago)

I have to ask (before I killfile you), have the people voting for "No Diggity" heard the extended version of "Return of the Mack", which may damn well be the best thing in the world ever?

The Reverend, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:36 (eighteen years ago)

i like return of the mack ok but this ain't no contesto

blueski, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:36 (eighteen years ago)

lol no I haven't heard the extended version, just the ordinary single. And I love both songs, just love "No Diggity" more.

Euler, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:36 (eighteen years ago)

i'm surprised return of the mack is even known by americans

blueski, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:37 (eighteen years ago)

It was a #2 hit.

The Reverend, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:39 (eighteen years ago)

i like the left-hand piano roll bit on 'no diggity,' and the guitar is up there with the first :01 of early elvis tunes as far as being totally indelible. but i dunno, the glossiness of 'mack' has always really done it for me.

gff, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:39 (eighteen years ago)

n/h

gff, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:39 (eighteen years ago)

think i might even prefer mark morrison's first two singles ('crazy' and 'let's get down') to rotm

love 'u know what's up' too and recently heard montell's 'get it on tonite' for first time in ages - that's an under-rated jam

blueski, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:40 (eighteen years ago)

best blackstreet single poll minus no diggity could be a good poll

blueski, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:41 (eighteen years ago)

I would be the corny fuxxor who voted "Boyfriend/Girlfriend".

HI DERE, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:42 (eighteen years ago)

killfile!

that is to say No Diggity!

I know, right?, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:42 (eighteen years ago)

"Return of the Mack" vs "This is How We Do It" not only be impossible, but would probably tear the fabric of the universe apart.

The Reverend, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:42 (eighteen years ago)

return of the mack is great, no doubt. could use a bridge, though.

Jordan, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:44 (eighteen years ago)

what do you call the "you liieed to me..." section?

blueski, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:44 (eighteen years ago)

The Reverend, Saturday, 9 October 2010 15:48 (fifteen years ago)

To me 'Return of the Mack' is second-tier stuff. Challenging for promotion, definitely, but will get relegated the next season. No Diggity is a Champions League contender no doubt.

Chewshabadoo, Saturday, 9 October 2010 16:07 (fifteen years ago)

My friend who lived in the next room to me at uni used to wake up to Return of the Mack every morning, so by extension I would too.

The extended version of Return of the Mack is way better than the single edit. The jazzy piano is ace.

earlnash, Wednesday, 18 May 2016 03:45 (ten years ago)

Agree on the piano, though IMO the instrumental groove goes on a bit too long at the end, they could've trimmed the tune down by a minute or so.

I'm behind on the show but I was watching an episode of Starstruck where the lead character got laid on some guy's lifeboat and she was walking away all excited with airpods in, blasting this song, with people hi-fiving her on the street.

it seemed like, idk, the essence of this song? which can never be played enough.

anyway these poll results were wrong and I am looking to see them stricken from the record.
