<P> "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 can have the notoriety like me . So they trust what I'm saying ..." </P> <P> Between Blackstreet's sung verses are rap verses performed by Dre, Teddy Riley and Queen Pen . There is a radio version that excludes both rappers and features Blackstreet only, tailor made for airplay on Adult R&B stations . </P> <P> The song's musical backing track is an altered sample from the beginning of "Grandma's Hands" by R&B singer Bill Withers . </P> <P> The video is directed by Hype Williams and features Blackstreet members in front of a beachhouse standing in the sand, dancers in a wet road surrounded by black limousines, and a marionette playing the piano sample in a club . It was nominated for Best R&B Video and Best Rap Video on 1997's MTV Video Music Awards . </P>

I love the way you work it no diggity
