- In the late 90’s, Blackstreet released their second studio album called, Another level. The project was a commercial success, coming in at number 3 on the billboard 200 and is currently sitting at over 4 million copies sold. The first single off the album is the unforgettable no diggity.
Interestingly Enough, Dr.Dre produced no diggity for Tupac. Suge offered the beat to Tupac, inteding for it to land on Pac’s all eyes on me album however at this point, Dre was trying to get out of his Death row Records contract and decided to sell the beat to Teddy Riley instead. Furious at this move, Pac recorded and dropped a diss track at dre sampling the original no diggity beat however backstreet issued death row a cease and desist order, preventing the distribution of the record.In response, Death Row records dropped an updated version of the record titled Toss it up after Pac's death.

“Party Ain’t a Party” is still a banger!

I’m happy foxy and queen pen were able to settle their differences in the end.
I’d be tired of getting my head beat in too
@@quanishawright3843 🤣😂😂🤣😂😂
@@quanishawright3843 yeah queen was tired of them knots on her head
@@goldennmystic7959 never foxy tired of getting her head stomp in queen pen ain’t the one that apologize doo doo brown fox is
Why? You don't know either of them and they don't give a shit about you....
Queen Pen the first female rapper to have a #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 but that's not credited to her for some reason.
Wow. Didn't know that. Cool.
Because they keep redefining what #1 is. If you search, you'll be confused as to whether it was Lauryn Hill or Cardio B but no mention of Queen Pen. But I remember it being alot of hoopla about QP when that song came out. I also think it was why she thought she could take a long hiatus and jump back into things, bc she made Billboard...🤷🏾♀️
Queen Pen forever remains the first female rapper to have a #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 but Billboard be adding features when it comes to female rappers having #1 hits and Queen Pen stay excluded.
@@Nn-ut4xb Lauryn Hill is not a rapper to me
@@Nn-ut4xb She's not a rapper to me sorry fan.
Queen Pen was the truth tho. She deserved to be bigger.
She was very underrated
@ms ebony love That was QPs problem. Lil Kim took off where she left off. Minaj did the same to Kim and Cardi did the same to Minaj
I agree, Tea G. Pen should have the same popularity as Foxy or Kim.
Plus, I don't understand why Pen's sexuality was a big deal when Young M.A. came to the rap game and she's only into chicks.
@@TekkLuthor Kim nor Nicki had nothing to do with this comment
@@kenterminateddq5311 her sexuality was a big deal because it was the 90s
Party ain’t a party till the queen come through!!!!
That’s a Lil Kim line on my niggas. Queen Pen line is a party ain’t a party till its ran all through. Right?
Leave it to my crew. It’s gon be playa proof

Good ole days
Thx for covering! Ms. Queen Pin was my girl next to Kim. They had that hard NY but sexy flow🥰
Big fax!!!!
Pen
One of my favorite female rappers. I always felt like she should've been way bigger because she was rugged and could rap but, also made really dope party tracks. Anytime she was on a beat with an old party song sample she killed it. Seems like she could've easily worked with pop singers and artist from other genres while still keeping her hip hop fans because she gave off authentic street energy. Another great video. Salute to my boy Ali 💯💯
i honestly think girlfriend killed her career. it did start beef with foxy brown and whether people want to admit it the 90s was very different for gay things
@@devanshepard9118 Queenpen is gay?
Queen Pen is 1 of the best lyricist
Mine too.
@williamallen1373 who cares if she is. She's an awesome human being
“I’m Gon’ Blow Up/My Melody” Queen Pen ft. Ron Isley is probably one of Hip Hop’s most nostalgic and most underrated songs from the 90s. One of my go-tos when I need to dig bag for motivation from my childhood to make it today.
Queen Latifah's diss track was really good too, I remember first hearing it not realizing it was her Latifah because she didn't to those kind of records.
Legit! Name callin went HARD, she spit some 🔥 on both of them
@@oldschoolninamain9138 Wow I had a lot of grammatical errors in this comment lol thanks for seeing past that mess and understanding it anyway.
Yessss I still play Name Callin in 2021 .. but that also goes to show how iconic Queen La is she was able to put a diss track on a major movie soundtrack lol that’s fire 🔥🙌🏾
What happened to Lady of Rage?
Yes
This is a must do
@@AliTalksMusic Glad you understand 😂💯💯💯
💯 another one who could hold her own
Yes! She is another amazing artist
Do one on the r&b 90s group Changing Faces? I loved them.
Foxy Brown's speaking voice is nothing like I thought it would be 😂
You thought it was like her rapping voice huh?
@@theentity05 I definitely did 😂
That's the "I got a little money" voice. Lol
And what your voice sound like crunchy ass rocks
It’s a year after her hearing loss
Party ain't a party is still a bop 🍾
Can you do a video on Mia X
Yes
I follow her on IG. She's a cook now, and last I heard she's been battling cancer.

And Creep Inn 🙌🏾
Yesssss please do ideal! They were supposed to make a comeback and didn’t 😩
@@stacistaci345 Yeah they got issues within the group
Wowwwww
I didn’t know she was still writing books. I loved the book Blossom and was hoping to did a part 2
I was confused like I didn't write this.. lol we have same first n middle name aweee
Thanks!, for this... gave me new insight on what she's doing in the prior moments. Could Please do a Video on the Rap/Singer Smooth?... she worked with groups such as immature
She's Chris Stokes's sister. He didn't do anything to help her career. His focus was Immature and later, B2K. All of the careers of his female artist suffered- Jhene, Gyrl, Tg4, Smooth, Brandy, etc... the only Reason Brandy was successful was because her mom took over managing her career. And Jhene only started blowing up after she left the T.U.G. camp, because they only released her singles after B2K albums, but never her own album. Now, everyone knows who Jhene is. But nobody remembers Smooth 🤷🏾♀️.
Smooth is producing movies... she doesn't record music anyone.... she is on Facebook under Juanita stokes...
I read her book Blossom back then. Was very good.
Me too. I liked it but there wasn’t no sequel to it
Me too! Loved that book.
she has another book called Situations, it was very good.. it's short stories and reminded me of something written by J. California Cooper
@@motherofdragons33 need to check that out

Crucial conflict
An all female version of Ma$e's song 24 Hrs. To Live was in the works with Queen Pen having already laid down her vocals. Lil' Kim, Foxy Brown and Missy Elliot were all slated to participate, however it ended up being scrapped. Ma$e later clarified in an interview that the female version was shelved due to his frustration with Foxy Brown not getting along with Lil' Kim or Queen Pen and also adding that he had "To move on with his life"
Her First album is a classic love it
Nicely done! Thank u for telling us about her writing career. I am so sorry she suffered abuse and pray she is safe from now on. Beautiful and talented...forever remembered...
Can you do a video on Yo-Yo? Her unreleased album “Ebony” is so good and had potential tbh. Please check it out!
Yeah. Sad it was never released.
Black Pearl was the stuff, music really was different for females at least rap was
I remember “Ebony” kept having release dates pushed back until it was finally shelved back in 1998. I was bummed. It was a good album. I was fortunate to be able to cop a promo copy.
What happened to the group Nina Sky?
They didn't wanna sell there soul
And lumidee
Seriously unthought sbout them randomly like wtf their songs was too hot
@Vaughn Ray reed jr conspiracy theory real shit
Uh-Oh!! 😘
Queen Pen is on my playlist and shall stay there!❤
If I’m not mistaken she has a book and it’s sooo good. I need her to do a part two !
Queen Pen will always be nice in my book.
Yup yup..she was the Truth!!!
Plz do "City High" video!
It’s been done I think the peta or the impressive channel
Didn't see it 🙈

@@goddessmanbo5374 ok thanks
I always liked Queen Pen. Wendy on the radio so damn legendary lol!!! if ya'll missed it you missed out!
Man! I’ve heard this before. Sure wish I was around back in her radio days because I have heard she spilled so much tea.wish she or someone had written a book about it.
@@tmn8547 She did! Wendy has 2 books . One spilling her own tea, the other with a list of interviews and behind the scenes going on. Wendy's got the head and the Wendy Williams expiernce.
What happened to Solé
she released an album Encoded last year. There s music videos on youtube Pranayama, Daughter of the Earth, Under the Veil. She married Professor Griff
She married Ginuwine and became a parent. She is now with Professor Griff. She does music still, and is very spiritual. Love her.
She’s still doing music 💪🏽
"A party ain't a party, till I run through it..."
Don't 4 get 2 watch the video of Queen Pen track! In memory of🙏🏽 TOM "TINY" LISTER, he is in the intro scene! Dec.2020
teddy riley produced no diggity dog, wasn't dre. Pac was just on his G shit and snatched it
They did that to do the cease desist order. Dre's name couldn't be on anything because death row owned all his masters.
@@lakerfan8297 czcams.com/video/LIS9nrqOAHg/video.html. Play around 13:50 tells the whole story. Dre walked into teddy playing songs for jimmy and later asked to be in the video. Teddy said drop a verse. Dre was still with death row that's how pac got the beat later. You gotta remember at that time it was taking dre a month to complete a song lol. Teddy Is a far superior producer than dre man
I loved Queen Pen she had her own style
I love and respect the queen! S0 sorry she had a man who didnt appreciate or love her...shes a blessed soul giving back despite her struggles..prayers for her and family..party aint been the same without u queen.keep safe
Damn I just was talking about the Queen and how she had a baby with yo who died from the fat boys....U definitely be on point with the videos keep em coming 🥳🥳🤗🤗
@kiki d she was like 15 , a kid impressed with a celebrity I think. He was like 23? Not sure of his age.
Wait... She had a baby with Buff from the fat boys a.k.a The disco three?????
@@81sexislim Yes they have a son name Quinton
@@81sexislim yes. When she was a teenager too
@@sinsearjones6081 Wow! Weren't they like mad yrz apart? That's dope tho I guess
I know this is about Queen Pen but let's take some time out to appreciate how sexy Foxy Brown is. Ppl didn't give her her flowers in the 90s because of her darkskin but I'm loving all the love she's been getting in 2020 as its overdue. Props to both and even more Foxy for being mature and doing that peace offer live. It's time hiphop embrace female unity and dead the beef for sales bs...
Liked that
And I agree 100%
What? How old are you? Foxy was definitely celebrated and men loved her (even though she was hella young when she came out). The 90s celebrated darker skin Black women in hip hop and r&b and even on TV, more than current days at least that's how I see it.
@@ladya3302 Definitely
Fox is so beautiful 😻
What happened to Lil Zane?
🤣🤣🤣
Bruh....Foxy always in a beef somewhere some how.
Look how beautiful and chocolate Foxy Brown is!!!
Met her in NY in 2013 at a radio station. She was pushing her sons music that day. Got some placements out of that trip. Dope video bro.
Queen is ole school. Sheesh.
That’s my girl from the hood. Shout out to Queen The Pen.
I'm glad someone spoke about her. She came through was proud to be Bi and didn't care about putting in it folks face either. The same era as Lil Kim, Foxy Brown etc. Before ALL the Nicki's & Cardi's & however many "Dolls" there are. Give Queen Pen her respect.
Can we just get BLOSSOM 2!!!!
Queen Pen was underrated for sure
I am still so obsessed with this beautiful queen
Now this is what I’m talking about hands👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 A true legend I love 👸🏽 🖊 One of the first female of the 90s Hip hop 🎉 ain’t 🎉 that was my shit I love that 🎧 🎵
I used to see queen pen in the hood, she was mad cool.
I forgot she had an issue with Rocsi
I never knew they had beef until now
Damn! NOBODY Like Rocksi
I would love to see one on the rapper Boss who did the song Deeper. This was wonderfully done on Queen Pen and all of the videos are wonderful. Thank you!
Hellllll yeahhhh good 1 can we get an episode on boss I played her tape out been lookin for yrs for her songs but no streaming service has any not even any dj pools. I found 1 min of idgaf on sound cloud that’s it 🤷🏽♀️
Can you do a What happened to Frankie? He had one album under Bad Boy records and had features from Mary J. Blige, Faith Evan's and 112. His hit song was If I had you. He came and went in the blink of an eye.
Frankie's album is an underrated classic
I still have the cassette.
@@kbob1394 it really is.
@@loriannwhite8384 I discovered him as an adult few years ago. And had been hooked since and just couldn't understand where he went. I've heard some things but I don't know how true they are.
What happened to Yo-Yo?
Damn, I never knew that's how foxy really sounded.
Her voice change is due to her now having a hearing problem
What happened to K'La? She had the song 'all your love'
I’d love to see a video on her!!! Her follow up mixtapes were so good.
Yes!!! I was just thinking about that song today!
I remember needing my hair to look exactly like hers. Color and everything 😂.
Even the same sexuality? 😂
I actually met Rocsi Diaz and she said as a sweetheart. To each it’s own and people I guess gave different faces. As for Queen Penn, I loved her growing up.
They always put black against black there is beef in all industries
I did not know that Toss it Up by Tupac was actually a No Diggity remix. As Tony Baker would say, I never knewwww 😂🤣
My melody is still on rotation!🔥
You got yourself a new subscriber I've been watching a lot of your videos and I must say I'm quite impress. Very good content and straight to the point. 👍🏾
"All My Love" will always be my favorite Queen Pen song.
Omgggg Foxy Brown's talking voice is so sweet
I still listen to her album “My Melody” in 2022. I met her back in the day and she was so nice.
Thanks for doing this video I was curious to find out what happened to queen pen :)
I DIDN'T KNOW SHE HAD BEEF WITH FOXXY, I THOUGHT IT WAS WITH LITTLE KIM? SHE HAD A FLOW.
🦋🦋🦋For those of you who would like to know, she writes novels now.🦋🦋🦋
Foxy was a banger back then. Girls don't look like that anymore.
Party ain't a Party the only hit
Exactly.
@Ofor real Oforreal ,😆
Actually, All My Love was the bigger hit off of her first album. It was a top 30 hit on the Hot 100.
@@RapRants not like party ain't a party
@@relldafox It was a bigger hit than Party ain't a Party though. Party only reached #74 on the Hot 100. I guess Party lived on and become more legendary.
Queen Pen Is The Truth. I Look Forward To Reading Her Novels. Much Love To Queen Pen. Thank You, Ali For This Expose' !!!
I'm praying for you
Queen Pen didn't blow up like the other female rappers.
Still waiting on the WHT Shade Sheist or Archie Eversall or Avey Storm?!!!!
The 90's was thick with competition when it came to talent, it was not that many female mc's in the spotlight for her to break through you gotta give her props for that.
I had both of her albums used to play them both regularly
Totally underrated. Her and CB are SO underrated
MUCH RESPECT TO QUEEN PEN!!!
Even before she was "Queen Pen", she was always a go-getter, strong talented woman.
Yes blossom was a very good book
Just subscribed, this is the first time I saw your channel..
Thanks for doing that bio on 👑 queen pen she amazing lyrics
I loved Queen back in the day...dope dope dope....loved her

No dig. Was NOT produced by Dre. It was done by Teddy
While credited to Teddy Riley, the musical backing is actually an incognito production by Dr. Dre, who was in the process of extricating himself from his label Death Row Records.[citation needed] The beat to "No Diggity" was initially offered to rapper 2Pac for his Death Row debut All Eyez On Me by label boss Suge Knight, but with Dre leaving the label he sold the beat to Teddy Riley. Upon the release of the finished recording by Blackstreet, Tupac and Death Row responded with a diss track containing numerous insults aimed at Dr. Dre over an instrumental sampling "No Diggity", but were forced to replace the production after Blackstreet issued the label with a cease and desist order stopping them from distributing the song.[7] An updated version of this response, "Toss It Up", would be released under his Makaveli alias just days after his death, featuring, ironically, Aaron Hall.

I don't know if any of you have read her book Blossom but if you do...when you get to the end you'll be hella pissed that she lead us on for 14 years for a sequel.
that was back when urban fiction actually told good stories
What happened to City High?
Claudette the girl in the group started dating both of them at different point. She has a kid with one of them. The other one ( not the one from Sister Act 2) started drinking super heavy because he was heartbroken about it. Basically destroyed the group.

@@lala40121 i agree it would be good. Maybe a unsung

Love foxy voice
What did Fox say that was homophobic? Calling her fruity?
She literally dissed her for writing a song about same sex
That lil part about Khloe...chile.....😂
I love love love queen pen she was and still is dope

@@rw6817 Don’t know them songs
Dr.Dre had nothing to do with the production of No Diggity. I wish people would stop telling that lie, as if it's a fact. That track was produced by William skillz, co-production of Teddy Riley.
But Teddy Riley got the main credit.
From a production standpoint it doesn't sound like anything Dr.Dre did during that era.
Tupac did what he always does.
Take his enemies music, remix it, and diss them all over it.
No Diggity was no exception.
You don't have to believe me.
Troublesome 96 = If I Ruled the world.

Compose it can mean anything from producer, to writer.
It does not mean he was on the MPC.
Even Teddy Riley himself will tell you he had nothing to do with the production.
Dr.Dre barely has anything to do with his own production, he has ghost producers.
