Author Topic: WHATS THE STORY BEHIND TOSS IT UP OG AND NO DIGGITY USING THE SAME BEAT?  (Read 3361 times)

There were some Death Row producers/artists present at the meeting with Jimmy when he played No Diggity for an opinion (Jimmy wasn't originally feeling it for the first single).
I would imagine it were the producer(s) who were present, not Suge who memorised the track and reconstructed it.

It's not a complicated beat at all, just the intro to this track looped:



and a short piano drop and 'heyo, heyo, heyo, heyo' vocal.
Really simple to remember in my opinion

The whole story has been told.  Teddy explains really well in a recent Vlad interview.  I was old enough but unfortunately I was living in Kansas City at the time.  But did you know if you had been living in LA in early August 1996 you would've actually been driving down the freeway one day and suddenly "Toss It Up" No Diggity version comes on radio before ever hearing or knowing of the Teddy Riley version!!! 

So Teddy and Blackstreet were getting ready to release their monster single featuring when Suge and Pac did one of the most epic boss moves in rap history and beat Dre and Teddy to the punch and had Pac on radio with the banger before Teddy's could drop!!!

that's some epic shit right there.  So anyway, Teddy tells the story, that Jimmy then contacted Suge and made Suge stop that shit immediately.  Later that month in August "No Diggity" came out Teddy's version and if you were living in KC like I was at the time none of us even knew all that shit went down until way later, the Teddy version as the first version we heard in Midwest.  And that track was such a banger I still remember where I was at the time I first heard it!!
Bro I was living in Israel I was introduce to toss it up video only when greatest hits came out lolll all we had was mtv UK and they used to play no digtty all day long
I saw that teddy interview it’s like jimmy took their side but I can understand why 😂 and the first version that came on the radio is the one without the last pac verse ?
And I notice when they rerelease toss it up as a single it came out under MCA
I hope I’ll get clear for the cover with the piano drop but I’ll recored on both version..

I thought it was Teddy Rieley and he just used the same beat hence Aaron Hall.
