I'm definitely incorporating Blackstreet's style into my "pimpin' " new look:
From now on, if someone happens to "step" to me, I will inform them that although my overalls are white, I am indeed about to go "BLACKstreet on their ass" and hopefully we can find a way to avoid "throwing down."
The music video
The video is directed by Hype Williams and features said artists 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. Video production and casting was handled in house by Future Recording Studios manager Tony Brown who also worked closely with puppeteers to develop marionettes of Teddy Riley and Chauncey Black.
On November 9, 1996, "No Diggity" overtook "Macarena" for the Billboard 100 Single's number one spot. Also, the term "I'll go BLACKstreet on your ass", which is credited to Chauncey "Black as the street" Black began to appear in American slang as an expression of one's desire to "throw down" or initiate a confrontation.
