Part 2: • Chingy Reacts to Makin...
--------
In this clip, St. Louis-based rapper Chingy shares some of his dietary/workout secrets along with the mental approach that he's adopted, which has allowed him to maintain such a youthful appearance over the years. From there, he reveals why people have begun to call him "Benjamin Button" and what prompted him to take on a healthy lifestyle, why he respects animals so much, and his choice to become vegan.
Moving along, Chingy reflects back on his upbringing in St. Louis (surrounded by drugs, poverty, and gang-banging) before explaining his family dynamics. From there, he reveals that Eazy-E, DJ Quick, and Michael Jackson were his biggest inspirations. Then, he explains how the Bloods street gang from Los Angeles became a part of his family's legacy in St. Louis. This prompts him to take a deeper dive into the influence of L.A. gang culture in St. Louis by referring to a classic song by Ice Cube called "My Summer VacationIce." Lastly, Chingy talks about his father, who is a well-known OG in the area.

i got a chance to meet chingy back in 2006 in Toronto when he was promoting pullin me back off Hoodstar. He signed every autograph, took every picture, and took time to chat with everyone. i still got the pic and autograph in a frame. 1 of the nicest most humble people I've met.
Wow that autographed pic is gonna be worth a lot of money one day
@@deenice6811 the pic with him is separate. The autograph was his xxl magazine cover. but it honestly ain't about the money. i have a lot of autographs and pics with people. i haven't sold any of them.
Why are collectin pictures of chingy tho? 😂
@@rayman1269 let the collectors live maaaaaaan 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ain't right 😂
If you’re in your early 30s, you know this guy right here was THE MAN back in the days.
Word. I remembered he remixed "Right Thur" for NBA Live 2004😂
G unit was running shit back then
@@ColdWheel word, this dude was never the man lol
not if youve ever heard good hip hop. chingy is garbage kiddo. i was laughing at his video back in the day. that shit was a joke
28 and mannnn that era was fucken epic! Good times . I was just a kid
Chingy looking like pastor Chingy
LOL
Hallelujah 😂😂😂😂
Facts
He’s a Hebrew a Israelite
😂 right
I worked with him on a very small scale promotion a few years ago, just him and his manager. A true gentleman, kind and doesn't take anything for granted. Hope to see even bigger things from him in the future!
Facts he actually talks to his supporters via RUclips & Instagram, unlike other celebs. It may take him a few days or a week.
@@TrVlogs82 August Alsina some-what does t00.
@@alexandercoffman8319 Damn, I did not know that. I don't comment really on his stuff.
This makes me appreciate Chingy more. Not only is he articulate and has a solid mindset and caring nature but his media training is superb lol. I love how he repeats the question before answering. It gives him a chance to think about his answer briefly but also shows he’s engaged and actually present in the interview. Great vibes.
Chingy been on his Self Care regimen for YEARS already. Good to see somebody who has kept on it
🤓 that's you
@@jaygrand4417 That's gay.
@@futurefind674 haha
@@futurefind674 👍 thanks
@@jaygrand4417 I help. I'm a helper. 👋🏾😊
If you were apart of the hiphop early 2000's you kno Chingy was the man at one point.I respect his growth now aswell spiritually💪🏾💯
Yup, for bout 3 months
I remember listening to one call away non stop lol. It's really dope to see this type of transformation for him. This was a dope interview.
What? The man where? STL only. Let’s not play that game
@@AK-ky3ou 😂😂😂
He made good music.
For those who don't recognize it. This is what maturity and growth looks like.
He had to. The types of rumors he had on him, he had to.
Yea but that goofy bs he talking about animals mom and Dads is some goofy shi
Lol but chingy was always like this… when was chingy ever loud or aggressive??
That song One Call Away was a classic!
I noticed that he repeat every question that’s asked to him. That’s crucial on having the best, thought out answers.
He knows how to do these interviews like a profesional for sure
Everyone doesn't have to do that lol
@@TruthTellerTV whats your point? Lol
@@maxpainmedia I just made it. It’s not “crucial” on having the best thought out answer for everyone. Pretty straightforward.
Or it can also be a stall tactic to come up with an answer, were some right off the point have an answer because they're so sure
Chingy is a legend in my opinion. He had the game on lock for a few years
he never had nothing on lock.

Chingy done came full circle dude always had a cool aura about him. Glad you still living good bruh✊🏾
That STL accent, the way he said “hair.” I love it lol
Herrrrr
wack AF. Was then and always will be. ya hurrrdd?
@@villiantwo nobody asked your bitchass opinion
*HURR
Naw we waaayyyy different Luh boay 😤
The man mentioned Eazy E, DJ Quik, Techno Bowl and Cubes “ Summer Vacation” all in a 5 minute span.
If that don’t describe my life when I was 11 and 12 years old I don’t know what the hell does!
Much love to Chingy. Awesome interview!
I can see DJ Quick in his rap style.
@djvlàd WOW
only the real ones know about techno bowl lol
I remember my friend listening to him when I was like 11. He is one of the smarter dudes that have been interviewed for sure.
Wow! Chingy looks like a clean St. Louis version of Warren G.
He does I see it
Now that you mention it he lowkey do look like him😂😂😂
This is going to be a good one!! Salute Chingy!!
Chingys last VladTV interview was actually really good..looking forward to this
I’m from LA and I gotta say, Chingy was loved in LA.
Indeed. He got major love here.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Which part? Beverly Hills? Lol
@@GoGetYourShinebox Fym Beverly Hills .. St. Louis nggas well respected .. all glorifying that lifestyle aside 💯
@@Flght314 Ain't nobody bumping no Chingy in the hoods of LA, stop the 🧢
It’s good to see him still kicking it after all these years 💯
Not consuming too much sugar and milk is key. The meat is often filled with hormones. Controling one’s thoughts and words. Dude has a crystal not a big gold chain because he is striving for self love that leads to having love for those around him. Staying on that path is not easy even after realizing what it is. Dark is attracted to the light. Everything we need to know in 3 minutes.
Organic Milk is fine. Tribes lived off of that. Low carb low sugar and good meat is important.
@@EthanNoble Yeah, I didn’t say abstain from these things. Everyone has a slightly different dietary requirements. Moderation is the key with most things. With that, Look at the skin and waste line of adults who drink milk, organic or not, on a regular basis. Young adults can better process it especially if they are athletic, but later on in life take caution. Meat is more relevant for some than others. It’s not essential for everyone. I went with out beef for 2 decades and now have a steak every 2-4 weeks. I haven’t eaten pork in 32 years, where I used to devour bacon sandwiches as a teenager. Try shaking hands with a number of Sikhs from India and tell me everyone needs meet. The Sikhs are one the worlds most renown Warrior clans who are known for their vegetarian diet.
Yeah I don’t drink milk
A lot of black ppl lactose intolerant
Plenty of rest, nofap, semen retention, NEVER drink tap water,don't drink alcohol,don't do drugs, take your vitamins,
And lift heavy you'll be alright eating all the meat you want.
🖨️💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🧔🏾♂️
@@jackiechun5817“ Eating all the meat you want”. For some people maybe. It depends on the person’s biology. I suggest doing a search on Vegan Pro Athletes: Chris Paul, Serena and Venus Williams, Nate Diaz and David Haye just to name a few. Absolutes are a trap. Respectfully.
He said since a kid he never really like the killing of animals …..🎶”Give me what you got for a porkchop” 😂😂😂
😂😂
Thats crazy. However I couldnt hear him say " Give me what what you got for a Morningstar burger😂😂
@@brandonethereal1084 Morningstar burgers are bad for you. EXTREMELY high sodium in their products
Smothered please 😂😂😂😂😂
@@timoaksproductions They're not that bad......2300mg of sodium is the minimum so trust me you'll be fine....
Is it just me or do anyone else out there as soon as you hear? Shawn voice it's like damn do I really want to watch this interview?
I'm loving the growth of guys like Ace Hood, Chingy and Young Joc in interviews. They all see the bigger picture now...a picture that you can't see when you're young. Both Ace and Chingy look healthy. Joc is the most entertaining. And they're all Real.
Especially young blacks. Usually it’s a criminal fast money, abandon you kid type of mentality
@@chrislee3872 chamillionaire was always on positivity
This gonna be a good one✊🏽✨
Chingy is an absolute legend. As a tween this man motivated me to go chase tail and for that, we salute you!
Don’t say “tween” bro.
@@edworeyes bro i sure as shit wasn’t listening to chingy as a teen
Legend is a bit of a hyperbole.
Legend? He made a few dance songs.
@@marcorivera6972 Hating
He is telling the truth, great interview
It’s an interview . This interview is on RUclips
This finna be a classic
It's good to see Chingy in the fold. The short term fame I thought would swallow him alive. Sometimes, we need to step away from the spotlight in order to find your REAL calling and seems like Chingy found his now.
This brother had grown. 💯 Super respect from one who’s trying myself to get my life on one accord with veganism.
I’m another example of what, healthy living can do… eating right, exercise, healthy mindset. Discipline is key…
Not gonna lie this guy had a couple bangers back in the day.
This made me miss my childhood, this man had hits on hits.
he was alright
Wow! Love seeing Chingy is doing extremely well.
It’s good to see you back on the scene bruhh🖤
STL stand up for da hometown legend..all facts my guy talking, Walnut Park alumni myself, so I'm very familiar with it all.. Glad to see you still having it yo way fam.. 🥂🌹 get yo flowers my G, much love and respect ✊🏾
Used to drive through walnut park on the way to work (union) I worked in Baden by the Cemetery off of Broadway. Lived in Baden as well. Got shot at a couple of times but for the grace of god I’m still here…lol.
His story is dope. They need to get him on drink champs or my expert opinion.
Facts and Ludacris aswell
Drink champs would be good quick tyme with slime
Glad to be hurr on Gladtv, I appreciate you having me hurr 😆
I was 25 and just bought a house when "Right Thurrr" came out. It was a staple to be played at my backyard parties! Oh, what a time!
Eazy-E for the voice and appearance and Dj Quik too. I can see that Chingy loves that high pitch tone.
9:27 "my homie got shot he a goner black, St Louis niggas want their corner back...." - he was referring to Ice Cube's My Summer Vacation. That shit was happening nationwide.
Right Thurr!!! i got to kind of "tour" with Chingy when i was like 23 yrs old i knew someone in his camp i traveled thru Cali and Arizona with the crew it was lit af man best weeks of my life!
Love Chingy 🥰😘 he's always been in my playlist. I was wildin out when he was out
You still a hoe these days or you changed?
I loved me some Chingy when I was a younger teenager. He definitely had some hits for sure. That makes me happy when I see our black people still looking amazing once they get older. This is what our people meant when they said black don't crack right here! I love the fact that despite of everything he went through he did not let it break him mentally. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Dude seems like a very thoughtful guy. Smart. I love that
Whats up Cuz! Haven't seen you this year... Great interview! All Love!
Homie doing the interview know hiphop and delivers well, need him in more interviews
When he asked him "what chu doin"? I thought he was gonna say "chillin at the Holiday Inn".
That man said turkey, chicken, fish, and every other meat...while salivating 😂😂😂😂 that shit was funny asf
😂😂😂😂😂
😅😅😅😅😅
😂
I was hoping Shawn did this one! Let’s go
I didn't even recognize this dude he look like a preacher.. 🙏🙏
Sho do
He had a huge impact and such a short run ..the music business in the early 2000's was like that
Glad to see him doing well. Protect this man.
This comment is Power, I feel this.
He looks different
@@d-staxworldwidestax7112 i think i remember awhile back he was caught messing with trans i believe
@@dacoldest3896 He/She admitted to lying on him years later
Protect your family
We appreciate you brother
This is a good ass freaking interview!
Host: “My man hasn’t aged a day”
Me: yea fucking right Fam 😂😂😂
Mans has definitely aged a little
Lolololol facts
He was just tryna gas him up for the interview.
I'm from St. Louis, Chingy put on for the City...it's a different vibe and respect when you see the artist from your city start from nothing doing free shows, passing out CDs, on the local radio to become the stars they ultimately become...people from other cities are on the outside looking in, so the love and respect is different.
You're not..
Glad to see homie in good health and spirits
Balla baby was one of my favorite songs from my high school era. The 03'-04' school yr.
I Like, How They Did This Interview Right Hurr..
I was about to say Chingy looks great bro like he age every 15 years or something when he explained his diet I was like no wonder
Don’t forget his mentalism
Still remember seeing Pulling Me Back constantly on 106 n Park lmao man time is crazyyy
First album is slept on heavy, got off on a few dj quik beats too 🔥
I remember St Louis was 🔥 in 04, J-Kwon, Chingy, Nelly Da-Bangaz was out on everybody MySpace, the Lou was out there !
met dude at work couple weeks ago. very humble
Big cap 🧢
@@leea3531 lmao smh coulda happened
We love Chingy ain’t nun change 😌🙌🏽
Chingyyyyy! He looks & sounds so good, I’m glad to see him doing well. 🥰
Been a fan of this guy from day one
One of my favorite artist from back in the day. Cool laid back, positive with the meanest flex.I got a lot of my inspiration and style from you bro💯🤞🏽🫡💯🔥
Dude look different but sound the same. Good to see him elevating in life
Good Interview
Chingy was too lit in middle school
Yes
Facts
Ofn
“Come hurr”, “Throw me in the urr” 😂😂
Purridise 😂
I was wondering why you said that.. I’m not gon lie, when it happened - I almost spit out my water… like ooooh 😩😭😭
That Right Thurr Uncut video 🙏
He sure knows whats up... LOVE DJ Quik too (most underrated for sure)
So glad to see him doing well! 😊
I got into a fight with one of my football teammates back in high school. We squashed the beef and he sold me a bootleg Chingy CD LMAO Good times
When Shawn introduced him and Chingy clapped for himself I died lol but yea hearing this part of his story makes sense why I always liked Chingy. I'm from Cali & my favorite producer is DJ Quik. I was so hyped when Chingy did that track with Quik back then haha
Good interview
Glad to be back on Shawn prez TV for another interesting interview
Man it’s extremely hard to stay away from sugar but the key is to not take it out of your eating completely but just to limit it.
Also exercising is key…
Man it’s just certain ppl that only vlad should interview and this should’ve been one of them
Im just glad Vlad himself didn’t do the interview. Good stuff. Best interview in a minute.
His track with dj quick is 🔥🔥
This man had a promising career. Was becoming one of my fav rapper around 04 then just disappeared the following year
ST LOUIS ALWAYS BEEN ROUGH EVEN BEFORE THE GANGS! I KNOW A FEW PIRU HOMIES OUT THAT WAY AND A FEW CRIPS! THEY ALWAYS SHOWED LOVE 🩸🅱️👌🏾🤟🏾
But pirus and crips came from LA 💀🤦
@@aa-jx5zz I heard they moved to St. Louis in the late 80s from LA and took over the street hustling.
@@aa-jx5zz they did come from LA alot of them moved to places like St Louis, Jersey, Texas,
@@SterlingChris-tion so cali put them on👌💯💀
Oh wow this is different Glad! 💪🏾💪🏾
I just pulled up to a Holiday Inn too. Chingy was fire
''Lil Howard ju weak!" 🤣🤣🤣
The nelly questions are the ones im waiting for
That wasn't nun but a argument on who said Dirty first. 🌽 yhen a mf
so u can see who started the word dirty lol
@@j317 Lmfaoo I started the word “durrrrtyyy”
I can hear his rapping in his words. Never changed
Had no idea he is Vegan. Love his outlook. Great job. That's why he looks good! I am glad that Michael Jackson and Easy E were Chingy's inspirations. I didn't know but it made sense because his videos and songs kept evolving. Wow the gang culture. He had goals. He lived through it.
Ask him what he meant by Give me what you got for a pork chop?😂
Iykyk 😫💀🤣
😅
He actually say he got grades listen
Chingy had a good run!
“I LIKE THE WAY U DO DAT RIGHT THERRR”!!!!!💪🏾💪🏾
I went to school with ziggy his sister we where in the same grade and graduated together she so down to earth
so what part of Hazelwood are they from? See I am really from over there. Chingy is from the county, not the city. Where we from there was no violence or guns. Suburbs. So if you really went to school with her then what part of Hazelwood? North, east or west? Name the street and mall that was around the way?? HAHAHaHah this St. Louis born and bred for real
@@TheAlilah well Lord knows the foolishness is all over St. Louis city and North St. Louis County!!!
@Bama Boy Meechie What's so farfetched about someone going to school with a Famous person's relative??? LMAOOOOO
@@sirjer73 yes now, but in the days when he was living there, north county was very nice. North county got stupid in the last 10 years. I was raised in crevcore area and went to pattonville high. My parents moved out to north county later around 2000. So many of these st.louis county babies did not grow up in poverty. Chingy did not grow in poverty. Grew up in a very nice area. He may have hung out with cousins from the city and played in the city but..He is a very good dude and very educated. I do not know why he does not push that....probably because it will not sell like the street thing would. Love him either way though. He represent the LOU
@@TheAlilah ain’t no way you just said the county don’t got violence. East, Riverview, Jennings and hella other schools was bad af and they neighborhoods around them. Castle point, pawn lawn Spanish lake and way more. So don’t act like the county sweet. It’s city mf always say that to make themselves look tougher but got they ass beat when they came to the palace or limelight. And I’m talking back in 98-2002 when I was in High school. It’s been going down
I remember going visiting St Louis for the first time in 1993. At the hotel a news flash came across the t.v. warning people and travelers to be careful in or around East St Louis... There were 6 killings (shootings) in a 24 hour period... Doesn't seem like a lot by today's standards but back then... 💯
East st.Louis is not st.Louis
@@deandrebanks314 man really... So you saying east St Louis is it's own city altogether right.... Ok I ain't from there but pretty intelligent on my knowledge of cities and states so this the first I have ever heard that 💯
East stlouis is illinois
I knew stl guys who told me east st Louis was worse lol
@@TkKirkland-lm5wv worse as far as dirty stl mo the roughest place in the us literally a fly over city check mf tour dates from chi str8 to kc they be scared to come here
Im so happy he is doing good. I loved me some Chingy back in the day lol my grandpa bought me his CD
