return of the mack vs no diggity

guess that kinda backfired

original poll idea was return of the mack vs you know whats up by donnell jones

someone explain this anti-mack bias

"Return of the Mack" has a good beat but it's not going to beat "No Diggity" on that. The vocal on "Return of the Mack" has that weird pinched sound. I mean, it's a great song too, but still, "No Diggity"!

good poll

why is that such an obvious answer??

Mostly because while I love "Return of the Mack", I have never played it on repeat for 90 minutes and then still wanted to listen to it afterwards.

i really would rather listen to return of the mack

unlike dan i actually think its harder to get tired of - no diggity is too stuck in this weird new jack swing/hip-hop/doo wop mode to really hit all the pleasure centers like mark morrison n/h

Another plus for "No Diggity" in my book is that I can sing along to it because it's sung in the baritone range.

(xp: I think "Return of the Mack" is nigh-undeniable EXCEPT for when compared to "No Diggity", a song I practically feel in my bones.)

n/h

lol

The vocal on "Return of the Mack" has that weird pinched sound.

this is totally the reason I love "Return of the Mack."

return of the mack is actually more in my range tho i end up sounding like dude from maroon 5 :-/

rong face, should be XD

n/h

Return of the Mack, no contest.

return of the mack has a stronger wistful emotional punch

Yep, "Mack."

NO DIGGITY BY THE HUGEST MARGIN POSSIBLE

someone explain this anti-mack bias

i for one don't get it. in high school i would wait for a friend of mine after school every day & i'd blast RoTM on a boombox when he came into view. he wasn't annoyed at all. it made him feel majestic.

As much as "No Diggity" is one of my favorite songs ever, fuck a motherfucker who would vote against "Return of the Mack".

The Rev has perfectly expressed my quandry. Still voted No Diggity, though.

i got to bag it up

"Return of the Mack"

Just wondering, was ROTM a hit in the states?

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver

^^ killfile list

xp: reached #2, if I'm not mistaken

i think i have to give this to mack

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?

i like return of the mack ok but this ain't no contesto

lol no I haven't heard the extended version, just the ordinary single. And I love both songs, just love "No Diggity" more.

i'm surprised return of the mack is even known by americans

It was a #2 hit.

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.

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

best blackstreet single poll minus no diggity could be a good poll

I would be the corny fuxxor who voted "Boyfriend/Girlfriend".

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.

return of the mack is great, no doubt. could use a bridge, though.

what do you call the "you liieed to me..." section?

(genuine question btw, not sarc)

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

pre-chorus

ooh fancy

'this is how we do it' vs. 'this is how we do it' (big tymers)

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.

do you like hitler?

good question

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

so macjestic

ONCE AGAIN!

this is like the ultimate deeznuts post ... weird live-in-a-cave lack of knowledge combined with a terrible opinion infinitely hedged

cant believe ppl voted No Diggity smh

i actually sbed deeznuts for good measure when i saw that post

I've come around on this, would vote "Return of the Mack" now

that full version is mandatory...unreal intro.

otm

To me 'Return of the Mack' is second-tier stuff. Challenging for promotion, definitely, but will get relegated the next season. No Diggity is a Champions League contender no doubt.

Play on playa…

my sister made herself a mix of "return of the mack" four times in a row recently.

she used to play it while she was in the shower

rhythm guitar is str8 beautiful

\this song is the platonic ideal of a certain breed of banger

My friend who lived in the next room to me at uni used to wake up to Return of the Mack every morning, so by extension I would too.

bullshit results

i would like to change my vote

"return of the mack" really is the greatest chorus ever®

also "return of the mack" is a great phrase for jokes & such

also no one has written anything about the other song since the results were posted

1,000,002 people have shaken their asses about it though

bullshit results

ONCE AGAIN!

whoa you guys really blew this one

no diggity is potentially the best song ever written. it kindof surprised me when i discovered what a classic return of the mack is considered to be. i mean its great but no diggity man, no diggity.

O M G

this is exactly the right result

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

no diggity is still my ringtone

i wake up to it every morning

so glad people dig Return Of The Mack. never saw it mentioned before.

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.

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.

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.

hell even my MOTHER loved Return of the Mack, whereas she didn't really notice Diggity (which I also love)

Return of the Mack is so good that even the acapella version is amazing
