Takes On "No Diggity" by Blackstreet

I can remember DJing parties when "No Diggity" was considered a new song.. yes i'm old and yes i've been DJing for a while.  I had the 12" with the version with Dre rhyming at the beginning.  The song was pretty popular back then but it's funny to me how it's kinda gaining steam again.  Remixes and covers are floating around all over the place..  I just DJed a wedding a couple of weeks ago for Tristan and Christie and "No Diggity" was one of the songs on her list that I had to play.

Calling this song "a classic" may be a little bit of a stretch.  I personally like to reserve that tag for things that had more of an impact on my life .. I would say something like "Rock Box" is a classic..  but i would say that "No Diggity" is significant ... maybe a mini-classic?

So I thought it might be interesting to put some of these covers and remixes in the same place here for you to play through and get an idea for how it has influenced pop culture probably forever... no diggity, no doubt.


For good measure let's throw in the acapella so you could do your own remix.. maybe one of these day's i'll get around to one of those and post it here.
