    --------
    In this clip, Chingy spoke about signing with Ludacris’ label, Disturbing the Peace, which Shawn Prez said surprised him because of Chingy’s connection to Nelly. Chingy explained that he was friends with the brother of St. Lunatics rapper Ali, who Chingy said he stayed in the studio and recorded music with. Chingy went on to speak about forming a group with Ali, and Nelly’s manager hearing the music and representing them. Chingy added that he was opening for Nelly in 10,000 seat venues, and he went on to share a story about going to a party and Nelly telling Chingy that he would sign him but not the others in his group. From there, Chingy explained that in the summer of 2002 he heard the “Right Thurr” beat, and he added that he had the hook and verse for years. Chingy also spoke about recording “Holiday Inn” the same year, and he revealed that his then-girlfriend is the woman on the hook. Moving along, Chingy spoke about Ludacris being on the “Anger Management” tour with Eminem, and he added that he went backstage at the St. Louis show. Chingy went on to speak about meeting Ludacris’ manager, Chaka Zulu, who he sent his demo tape. Chingy added that Chaka knew “Right Thurr” would be a hit, and told him to finish it and send it back. Chingy revealed that he then got his deal with Capitol Records and “Right Thurr” was #1 the following year. To hear more, including Chingy’s reaction to Chaka Zulu being shot, hit the above clip.

    Chingy ended up Beefing with Nelly. I think there was Jealousy on Nelly's End & Nelly didn't want anyone else more successful than him. 🤷🏿‍♀️

    I like how Shawn Prez just ask the questions and pretty much let’s the interviewees go with no interruptions. Really allows them to open up more freely without trying to get certain topics just for click bait

    In a nutshell....Nelly and Ali was never gonna make anything happen ..especially with someone who Nelly acknowledged and knew could possibly be competition or else he would have acted on it.

    I don't see how Chingy is on the worst rappers of all time list... he made hit songs.. making a hit song is not easy

    He gave detailed play by play game on making hit records, which is rare on an interview. Coming up w the song, producer working w the MPC, sending an unfinished demo, getting word to finish the track. Mix, master and vinyl send it back for promotion… and a six year old hook! Dope.

    This was probably one of the best interviews on VladTV. I am a sucker for detail in order to establish background for a story and that's exactly what this brother gives.
