No Diggity is a song by American R&B group BLACKstreet featuring Dr. Dre. It reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #9 in the UK. It ranked at #91 on Rolling Stone and MTV: 100 Greatest Pop Songs. It sold 1.6 million copies in 1996. It won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and was nominated 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, in that order, as well as backing vocals from Shaquana Elam. Despite that some of Queen Pen's lyrics are censored, there are no "dirty" versions of the song. Contrary to popular belief, Matthew Santos did not perform the song's hook (his career started in a decade later). The song's hook is an altered sample from the beginning of "Grandma's Hands" by R&B hitmaker Bill Withers.
