The Dolby Atmos version on Tidal features both Dr. Dre’s and Queen Pen’s rap verses without the previously reversed words. Since it’s not explicitly labeled as an ‘Atmos Mix’ in the title, be sure to look for the Dolby logo next to the track name.

thanks for this info!]]> Tue, 21 Jan 2025 11:25:57 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6609&PID=65657&title=no-diggity-blackstreet-feat-dr-dre#65657 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6609&PID=65586&title=no-diggity-blackstreet-feat-dr-dre#65586 Author: 75azabache

I just noticed that there's at least 2 more promo CD
Singles than the ones Aaron listed above on Discogs.
They're both listed as CD-R's and one of them is labelled
as "No Rap Version", which I'd assume is the same as the
"Rapless Version" from one of the other promos.

So to be clear, the "Single Version" running 4:29 is not
actually what was used on the commercial singles? It was
mentioned above that the LP Version appears on the
commercial Cassette and CD Single, and I didn't see any
listings on Discogs for a commercial 45.

Also, is there an explicit version of this song anywhere?
The LP version has a few words by Queen Pen muffled out,
but I didn't see any copies of the LP or Single with a
Parental Advisory sticker.]]> Sat, 14 Oct 2023 11:45:41 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6609&PID=63802&title=no-diggity-blackstreet-feat-dr-dre#63802 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6609&PID=59760&title=no-diggity-blackstreet-feat-dr-dre#59760 Author: Bellenger1981

When the song was a current, during the day, we played the Rapless Version. At night, we'd play the Single Version w/Dr. Dre and Queen Pen.

As a gold, I worked at a couple different top 40 stations that played it, and we went with the Rapless Version.

Probably depended on the station, as I would
guess Urban Radio played the version with Dr.
Dre. But on Top 40, I know all ever heard was
the Rapless Version. ]]> Sat, 11 Dec 2021 10:44:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6609&PID=59757&title=no-diggity-blackstreet-feat-dr-dre#59757 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6609&PID=59715&title=no-diggity-blackstreet-feat-dr-dre#59715 Author: PopArchivist
