i think i have to give this to mack
― gff, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:34 (sixteen years ago) link
I have to ask (before I killfile you), have the people voting for "No Diggity" heard the extended version of "Return of the Mack", which may damn well be the best thing in the world ever?
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:36 (sixteen years ago) link
i like return of the mack ok but this ain't no contesto
― blueski, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:36 (sixteen years ago) link
lol no I haven't heard the extended version, just the ordinary single. And I love both songs, just love "No Diggity" more.
― Euler, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:36 (sixteen years ago) link
i'm surprised return of the mack is even known by americans
― blueski, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:37 (sixteen years ago) link
It was a #2 hit.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:39 (sixteen years ago) link
i like the left-hand piano roll bit on 'no diggity,' and the guitar is up there with the first :01 of early elvis tunes as far as being totally indelible. but i dunno, the glossiness of 'mack' has always really done it for me.
― gff, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:39 (sixteen years ago) link
n/h
think i might even prefer mark morrison's first two singles ('crazy' and 'let's get down') to rotm
love 'u know what's up' too and recently heard montell's 'get it on tonite' for first time in ages - that's an under-rated jam
― blueski, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:40 (sixteen years ago) link
best blackstreet single poll minus no diggity could be a good poll
― blueski, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:41 (sixteen years ago) link
I would be the corny fuxxor who voted "Boyfriend/Girlfriend".
― HI DERE, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:42 (sixteen years ago) link
killfile!
that is to say No Diggity!

"Return of the Mack" vs "This is How We Do It" not only be impossible, but would probably tear the fabric of the universe apart.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:42 (sixteen years ago) link
return of the mack is great, no doubt. could use a bridge, though.

'this is how we do it' isn't anywhere near 'mack'!

i dont even know no diggity but return of the mack is irrevocably burned on my brain. jesus fuck i hate & have always hated that song, but in the best way possible.

"Mack" no question...someone needs to put BBD "poison" up against some of these thoguh...

I still have the CD single of Return of the Mack. If I had a car i'd drive around blasting it right now

xp. Ugly?? These are the greatest songs of our era we're talkin about here...and I really hope that was directed to my "posion" comment...

yeah, i just mean that if we bring out all the heavy 90's jams, the resulting superpoll is probably going to destroy ILX (if only).

my sister made herself a mix of "return of the mack" four times in a row recently.
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 22:19 (sixteen years ago) link
is she single?

original poll idea was return of the mack vs you know whats up by donnell jones
was gonna start a thread about U Know What's Up! would prob rank it below Mack but above No Diggity
― jabba hands, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 23:15 (sixteen years ago) link
ha! sorry, Reverend!
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 23:38 (sixteen years ago) link
it occurs to me that the dude she's seeing doesn't properly appreciate her love of "return of the mack," though.
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 23:44 (sixteen years ago) link
well, she can do better than that, can't she?
― The Reverend, Thursday, 13 March 2008 03:27 (sixteen years ago) link
"no diggy", no doubt.
"return of the mack" is too similar to "games" by chuckii booker.
― The Brainwasher, Thursday, 13 March 2008 03:41 (sixteen years ago) link
I like "No Diggity", but I love love love "Return of the Mack", so I gotta go for that. To me, "No Diggity" has always sounded kinda dry (and it's not just because of the lack of bass), whereas "ROTM" is just oozing... I dunno, something great.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 13 March 2008 09:30 (sixteen years ago) link
I like "Return of the Mack" and all, but jeeeeeeeeeesus.
"No Diggity" has always sounded kinda dry (and it's not just because of the lack of bass)

"Mack" gets a boost from the Josh Harris remix. I've been listening to that song for months now. What about "Just Got Paid"? Watch my phone!

Finally heard the Extended Mix of Return of the Mack. I still think I prefer No Diggity, but it's a photo finish.

results OTM. you can't fuck with no diggity. i've been obsessed since I first heard it!

Correct results but "Games" destroys both.

The extended version of Return of the Mack is way better than the single edit. The jazzy piano is ace.
― earlnash, Wednesday, 18 May 2016 03:45 (seven years ago) link
Agree on the piano, though IMO the instrumental groove goes on a bit too long at the end, they could've trimmed the tune down by a minute or so.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 19 May 2016 08:47 (seven years ago) link
I'm behind on the show but I was watching an episode of Starstruck where the lead character got laid on some guy's lifeboat and she was walking away all excited with airpods in, blasting this song, with people hi-fiving her on the street.
it seemed like, idk, the essence of this song? which can never be played enough.
anyway these poll results were wrong and I am looking to see them stricken from the record.
