new jack swing
New jack swing is a hybrid style popular from the late-1980s into the mid-1990s, which fuses the rhythms, samples and production techniques of hip-hop with the urban contemporary sound of R&B. It uses mellifluously soulful solo or harmonizing vocals sung over rhythms and "street" beats derived from urban musical influences.

New jack swing did not take up the trend of using sampled beats, and instead created beats using the then-new SP1200 and Roland 808 drum machines to lay an "insistent beat under light melody lines and clearly enunciated vocals." Encyclopedia Britannica states that the "key producers" were Kenneth Brian "Babyface" Edmonds and Teddy Riley. New Jack Swing continued to be successful until about 1997. Afterward, it went underground as it waned in the mainstream. In the mid-2000s, a New Jack Swing revival started. Since then, some of the music styles' artists have released new albums. By the 2010s, remixes of popular songs from the 2000s and 2010s in the New Jack Swing sound have started to pop up on such sites as YouTube.

Blackstreet Lyrics
No, no, no diggity
This is the remix remat
Brought you by Blackstreet
No diggity no doubt (one, one, one, two no diggity)
Play on, playa
She was a gold digger (no diggity, ayo, ayo, ayo, ayo)
Yo, Dre drop the verse (no, no, no)
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
Said 'I don't mind but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor, in around?" (no, no, no diggity)
She said I am the one
Who will dance
On the floor in around (no, no, no diggity)
She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of bein' the one (no diggity)
Who will dance, on the floor, in around, babe (no, no, no diggity)
People always told me, "be careful what you do
Don't go around breakin young girls' hearts"
And mama always told me, "be careful who you love
Be careful what you do, because a lie become the truth, eh"
Billie Jean is not my lover, oh
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son (no diggity, no doubt about it)
She said I am the one (gold digger, gold digger)
But the kid is not my son (I like the way you try to get slick no, no, no, no diggity)
For forty days and for forty nights I was on the scene
But who could stand when she's in demand her schemes and blames
Gonna dance, on a floor, in around (no, no, no diggity)
So take my strong advice
Just remember to always think twice (no)
Don't think twice
She told my baby imagined free and she looked at me (ah, ha)
And showed a photo of a baby cry his eyes were like mine
So we danced, on a floor, in around, baby (no, no, no diggity, no diggity)
The bridge
People always told me, "be careful what you do
Don't go around brakin' young girls' hearts"
But she she came and stood right by me and I smelled her sweet perfume (hehehe)
It happened much too soon
She called me to the room, hey yeah (no, no, no)
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one (gold digger, gold digger)
But the kid is not my son (I like the way you try to get slick no, no, no, no diggity)
The kid is not my son
She said I am the one (gold digger, gold digger)
But the kid is not my son (I like the way you try to get slick no, no, no, no diggity)
Billie Jean is not my lover (oh no)
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one (gold digger, gold digger)
But the kid is not my son (I like the way you try to get slick no diggity, no doubt about)
She said I am the one, said I'm the one (gold digger, gold digger)
But the kid is not my son (I like the way you try to get slick no, no, no, no diggity)
No Billie, Billie, Billie Jean
Billie Jean's not my lover
Billie Jean's not my lover (like take it to the bridge)
Billie Jean's not my lover
Billie Jean's not my lover, oh no
Billie Jean's not my lover (no diggity, no doubt about)
Billie Jean's not my lover (Billie Jean, not my lover)
Billie Jean's not my lover, oh no
Billie Jean's not my lover (Billie)
Billie Jean's (gold digger, gold digger)
Not my lover(I like the way you try to get slick)
Billie Jean's not my lover (yeah, ah, yeah ah, ha)
Billie Jean's (gold digger, gold digger)
Not my lover (I like the way you try to get slick)
Billie Jean's not my lover (no, no, no, no diggity)

You are very correct, nowadays music you can't understand and it's disrespectful to women
