Song Meanings

No Diggity

The song is about Dr. Dre crazy over a hot lady and wants to bring her home. He started to do something for the hot lady to be attracted with him. Soon he started to have sexual fantasies that each day he could not forget the lady. His craziness over the lady soon pave way to take her home with his ride and flew to New York City with Blackstreet.
