The Whole Delivery

As the 13th solo album of one Shawn Carter Corey is released today, with him filming the lead single last Friday here on Marcy, here is a look back 20 years ago to his third single of his most underrated album to date, his second album "In My Lifetime, Vo.1." It's the Teddy Riley and Chad Hugo (yup, that Chad Hugo) produced classic with Blackstreet's vocals, "The City is Mine." Jay-Z feat. Blackstreet - The City Is Mine from The CF on Vimeo . More to come at The Whole Delivery today, stay tuned. 

Today is the 20th anniversary of this song dropping, on this day. And while it may annoyingly be used today in the background of commercials as another tired opportunity to make "white people look hilarious while awkwardly dancing to black music," the greatness of the Teddy Riley, William "Skylz" Stewart produced classic will never go away. With the Hype Williams video adding to its greatness, "No Diggity" served as Blackstreet's sole #1 Billboard 100 hit and was a major international success. Just on it alone, it sold 1.6 million copies and even had a random re-appearence on the UK Top 40 charts in March 2013.  Maybe an even more important fact for "No Diggity's" success is that it ended Macareña's long running domination at the top of the Billboard charts. Your second Flashback Friday choice today, it's Blackstreet and Dr. Dre with "No Diggity." More to come at The Whole Delivery today. 

"Hey yall, Hey yall, Hey yall, Hey yall!!!!" From 1996, your Flashback Friday choice of the day. It's Blackstreet featuring Dr.Dre and Queen with "No Diggity."
