Blackstreet: "No Diggity" vs. New Edition: "Hit Me Off" vs. Keith Sweat: "Twisted"

BLACKstreet - No Diggity
vs.
New Edition - Hit Me Off
vs.
Keith Sweat - Twisted

Battle of the fall of 1996 uptempo anthems. All three of these songs were top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, and hit #1 on the Billboard Hot HipHop/R&B charts in the fall of 1996. I remember all these songs being out like it was yesterday...

A dude brought this up at work, I voted for "Hit Me Off", but we just did an official poll at work, and "No Diggity" won by a landslide.

Who are y'all going with?

That is totally my era of music. I loved all 3.

I think "No Diggity" has had the most longevity after TWELVE (!) years.

I agree about "No Diggity". That song gets the young and old on the floor. I love seeing 60 year olds try to "back it up". It is definitely a funny site. lol

I love all three, but I'd have to say "Hit Me Off" is my least favorite. As for #1, it's tough...

hmmm I think I'll go with "Twisted," but it's awfully close.

I want to say "Hit Me Off" is my personal favorite actually. You would sooner catch me listening to that.

No diggity by default but that album was the best of the three imo.

omg I looooved all of these in eighth grade and had all their albums though I ended up getting rid of them

I think No Diggity is the most remembered of them all though, I ended up keeping the blackstreet album longest.
