What does the line "listening to blackstreet" mean in the song *Downtown* by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis?
Here is a link to the song.
I was wondering what the phrase "listening to blackstreet" means.
The whole sentence before it says
...I Like a Big Girl, I like 'Em Sassy
Going down the Backstreet listening to Blackstreet
Running around the whole town...Blackstreet is an R&B group most popular in the 90s. Their most well-known song is probably "No Diggity", a number one hit featuring Dr. Dre.
The lyrics annotation of "Downtown" on Genius.com confirms this as well.
