Chingy has addressed his inclusion in a list of the “50 Worst Rappers Of All Time” list which was released in August, and he’s not happy with it at all.
During his recent appearance on VladTV, the St. Louis, Missouri native gave his two cents on the list in general that went viral this past summer. Chingy was No. 27 on the list and made it clear he wasn’t appreciative of the ranking, and the disrespect that was shown to him and other artists included on the list.
“This is what I think about that list; [People] kill me, they have nothing to do, they sit around, I don’t know if they just watching videos or anything, and then somebody just write down some names and say, ‘Oh these are the 50 worst rappers,'” Chingy said before saying he saw people talking about it online. “It’s absurd, the people who looking at it, that’s talking about it that’s really going up there and talking about is who gives it energy or it would have no energy.”
He continued: “To me, it’s invalid because it’s subjective when you go around. Its seven billion people in this existence. When you ask each one of these people, ‘Who’s your favorite rapper, who you like,’ you’re probably going to get a different answer. I’ve sold over 50 million records worldwide. I still have success. There’s people that love me.
“How am I one of the worse rappers if everybody in this existence not saying, ‘Oh, that dude can’t rap he’s the worst.’ Then that mean you not the worst. If everybody not saying it, then you not the worst. That list is absurd, and it need to be done away with. Somebody got too much time on their hands.”
The list included Hip Hop legends such as Master P, RZA, Diddy, Eazy-E and more, as well as current stars such as Future and Young Thug. Chingy said the people included on the list shouldn’t have been on there with all they’ve contributed to Hip Hop.
Chingy Makes His Case For St. Louis’ Place In Hip Hop History
“They got so many people on there that have been profound, that have shown leadership, that have gave several artists a way for their dreams to come true and they sit here and disrespect people trying to say they the worst rappers. Well, I’m a say this, it means nothing to me, nothing at all because I know me.”
Chingy went on to say he knows he’s not one of the worst because he has all these hit records such as “Holidae In,” “Right Thurr” and “Pulling Me Back.” His legion of fans and people that “love” him and the platforms such as VladTV giving him a space to speak his mind proves he can’t be one of the worst rappers.
There are others who aren’t trying to give Chingy his credit or flowers too. In an interview with HipHopDX, the rapper revealed the Holiday Inn hotel chain never offered him a free room, despite his hit song likely making the hotel “a lot of money.”
List is pretty valid
HE LOOKS LIKE CAM’RON NOW. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?
How the hell C-Murder make the list???? So much disrespect. The fool that made the list need to be pimped and slapped…. Eazy-E is the reason muthafuckas even rapping… You can have all the money in the world but you cant buy Common Sense. Master P laid down the blueprint for muthafuckas….. Social media is for lames and clowns with no common sense. Fuck all the dummies
Well…the list appears to be ridiculous. Y waste our time? I am not giving this list more than these two sentences, esp if it does not include Wacklemore.Future? Duh. I dont like future, but u sayin he wasn’t rapping in “same damn time?” Ugggggh
Mufucker said he sold 50 million worldwide. Lol, I refuse to believe that. If he has two platinum and one gold here in the states, then I doubt he pushing more elsewhere.
2 platinum albums back in the day was huge. nowadays you can just have samsung sell the album for free when they buy a phone and get platinum. or release one hit song wait 6 months, rack up sales before the album is out
You’re telling me stuff I already know. The numbers don’t add up still. 3-4 million tops in the US. Do you really think he sold 46 extra million copies overseas? Bullshit!
Chingy sold 4.3 million records in USA alone. Idk any songs by him, but instead of arguing, why not just look it up instead of being an ignorant fool?
Why do I have to look it up? 50 Cent has sold 30 million records WW. So Chingy, who wasn’t even as big as 50 was, somehow sold 20 million more? Again, bullshit!
So again, I didn’t even need to look it up, but I did anyway to entertain you. I Googled “how many records did Chingy sell worldwide” and first thing that popped up was a link to “bestsellingalbums.org” and here’s what it said: “ CHINGY sold over 4,452,500 albums, including 4,300,000 in the United States and 60,000 in the United Kingdom. The best-selling album by CHINGY is JACKPOT, which sold over 2,952,500 copies.” Class dismissed!
clickbait list as usual. a bunch of good rappers on there and the new generation is gonna get flamed but thats what the style is now. if they came out in 95, they’d sound different. music evolves, olds get bitter.
theres about 6ish id take off the list other than that its pretty accurate
50 is a big list so technically he should be there along with many wrappers from his era
I don’t know much about Cardi B but her verse on Hot Shit was dope
Homeboi luk he lost weight. Hope he aight.
Whoever placed Eazy-E & RZA on the list doesn’t know shit about rap
