That “one call away” and “pulling me back” still slap, I don’t care what nobody say!!!! 😂
IKR?!
You ain't never lied, really 👍🏽
Yup, still listen to it!
On me those two records are legendary.
same, its in my liked playlist
I never stopped liking Chingy. I just stopped hearing about him.
Same bruh 😂😂😂
Too true
You can tell Ludacris never liked Chingy!
@@jordanglasper1064 I know they had issues but I thought they patched it up.
Same
“One call away” and “Pulling me back” will always have a special, special place in my heart. ❤️
That is the prime of my life memories.
Love pullin me back💜
Yesssssss💚💜💖
Same here👍
Im jus seeing this but those records are classic
Chingy came to Scotland for the mtv Europe awards I remember standing in a massive crowd waiting to see all these stars. When he came out he got quickly put in his car and embarrassingly I started to cry. He got out his car, while his management saying no no go back in the car, came over gave me a hug gave me his autograph and was so nice to me. He was honestly just a such a nice guy. Watching this he seems like such a great guy! I still listen to Pulling me back it’s one of my fav songs!
Sweetest story ever 😭❤️
Wow he went to Scotland
One call away is a forever classic tho
For real! My favorite song by him actually. And literally was listening to it some days ago.
I personally wouldn’t call it a classic but it definitely is a timeless song with a memorable beat and hook. It never sounds “old”.
Just listening today....
Clofic C Yes ! Jason Weaver does not get the credit he deserves. Even for his acting roles.
@@SLAYLORDFOCKER 💯
Chingy had some really good songs back then boy.
Right thurr
Yesss.
YES & balla baby!☺
Facts! He was like another Ja Rule
High School Days for me.
Sometimes you have to sit back and appreciate just how good music was in the late 90's / 2000's
15 years later Pulling me back still sliding🔥
I knew all the words to that jam. Summer of 2006. Hell Yeah😎
I can’t lie. This made me like Chingy again. He needed this. It’s a bit late but he definitely needed this. Appreciate that BET.
King Slim202 look at trump, it’s never to late
He's cool af, my perception of him were really different.
The media always like to turn everything inside out. I been stopped listening to them.
I am pissed that an individual can lie on a person ruin this man's career without any consequences
@Bobby Knuckles so you're were just as bad and judgmental and homophobic as they were. Thanks for your honesty though.
You know your iconic if you were on 106 while aj and free were hosting
Yeah aight
And old asf
Don’t let bow wow see this comment 😂😂...
@@RaleighSoldier being in your 30s isn't old asf
Yup every host after them was trash I never watched after free & aj was gone
To me Chingy is a real dude. Jealous mf's would do anything to tear someone's life down. He's evolved in to a good man and I hope he's happy in life regardless!!
Brilliant man and is caring and humble
Right like 50 did to Jarule
I can't believe the 2000s was so long ago I miss that era
Yeah so do I
Tbh It Wasn’t that long Ago
Finally the heavens have answered a documentary on chingy thank you bet🤘
kiara stay blessed IKR!! 😂
Seems like they all from st Louis
😂😂😂
They need to do Rich Boy

Pulling Me Back has N.E.V.E.R left my rotation...E.V.E.R
Sandra Brown PERIODTTT ❗️
It has aged well
That song always stuck in my head
BIG FACTS
That's my joint! Still listening in 2019! 🔥🔥🔥
The way they mixed “Pulling me back” and merged it into “One Call Away” though! 😍🙌🏼🖤✨🙏🏼 Damn. 🎶 These favez still hit hard nearly 20 years later.
Pure Fuego
Chingy still goes hard AF. I miss rap and R&B from the late 90's & early 00's. Music AND musicians have changed so much. Gimmicks are big now. There are people who are famous...I have no clue how they got a deal!
Chingy is a class act. Honest and humble. I wish him well.
Yes I was thinkin the same. I really enjoyed this interview with his fine self still 🤷😂
amalia5699 I agree
He's so humble. He has a beautiful spirit.
Lord Scorpio's Universal Tarot he so FINE😍😍😍
Yes and he is woke
Lord Scorpio's Universal Tarot he really does 💜
@@nisha5168 What makes him woke? Genuine question
@@rossonerodiavolo8074 teachings he said he got into
Dang was 2000 really 21 YEARS AGO?! Mad respect he is in tuned humble and forgiving 💗✨
After all the brother has seen an experienced, he still maintains a positive attitude. That in itself should be celebrated. Zalute Chingy ✊🏾
Chingy has a great attitude for all he been through.
yup
He does have a great attitude I pray he has success in all his future endeavors
He comes across very humbled
@@storm_boston life will do that to you

One call away video was the first time we saw Rudy Huxtable all grown up! Classic moment in black history
Facts I remember everybody in school talking about "Did you see Rudy? She all grown up now" couldn't get enough of her 😅
Yaass...we were all like 😲😲😲😲
Facts everyone was talking about that!
Oh yeah 💕♥️🍫 & they allegedly dated too
THICK Rudy
CHINGY STILL FINE PLUS NOW HE TALKS LIKE HE GOT SOME SENSE.
Lolita Garcia and he’s not doing that gangsta mumble like he can’t be bothered talking
Well he’s like near 20 years older so everybody should be matured from their 20s by then
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it was the “talk like he got some sense for me”🤣💀
He look like he got darker I think I did too forced out in he sun for the last 9 years but yeah he must have had some defamination campaign against him or something it happens to the best of us incase we become to big like Obamma or something because it's true if black people are no wrongfully stopped then we end up being presidents and Kings and queen 👊 it's not your fault Chingy
@@cocochanel773 😂😂😂
Chingy, your downfall in your celebrity life is your comeup in your spiritual life! Im listening to Chingy today 2020
You’re hot baby
💯💯
💯💯
Well said guapa
This interview made me value his music more than I ever did.
Whoever did the editing and mixing his songs in the intro, needs a raise. They are a quality content creator 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 BET should be proud to have them on their team
💯
You probly know em
💯had me vibin and taking me back to my middle school days..loved the mix
Since you said so. They should do it. I mean your definitely overqualified to make that assessment
I noticed that too. Great job. I’ve edited (“attempted”) music for my girls ballet, jazz and cheer and it’s excruciatingly difficult.
Kudos.
Dude was putting out hits back in the day. Miss the early 2000s.
Same!
Those songs was some of the soundtracks to my highschool years.
I remember the highschool band used to play some of his instrumentals at the ball games and pep rallys
You Like!? Me to
You Like!? Omg sameeee no bills no stress just school and food! I was soooo in love with 2000’s
You Like!? I miss all the 2000’s hits
Always loved Chingy's music. Seems like a good guy that took the high road and didn't let the system bring him down.
Chingy had bangers during my high school days!!! Hitsssss early 2000’s was great
Chingy was a lot better than people thought as an artist
artist gay but a truther hes woke he understand semetics and greek and roman theology along with talmudic sudies on the torah
Harvey Jennings way better than nelly
@@raymondflores5176 tf dat gotta do wit anything?
@Thors Domenech fuk u shrew get an education biotch
He was light skin back then but now he's dark skin. Confused??
Y’all make better shows for UA-cam than the actual network. 🙄
Jessica B. No 🧢
💯
Truth
😂😂😂
National tv got too much rules "Free Is When The Tv Aint Controlling What We See"
Chingy matured into a fine respectable man🙌🏼
THAT he did!!!!😍😋🤭
Thank you BET for putting this video together. There’s a lot of artist from back then that we all wonder what happened to them & where they are now. Interesting to hear details during his run I didn’t know before. A lot of stories of former entertainers usually end in a tragic way. Inspiring to hear Chingy today look back & share what he’s learn from his experience & how’s he’s grown as a man from it.
Chingy has Jason Weaver and Rudy in the same video...that was the most talked about music video when it debuted
and he don't seem bitter at all. I wish him the best
Much respect to this brother. He seems to have positive laid back energy. And I remember the MANIA that “Right Thurr” caused on the dance floor at parties. People would go insane with that dance. It’s like the frequency took over their mind and body. They’d be dancing so hard. Lol.
“Don’t Worry” ft Janet Jackson was so underrated!!!! I still Jam it to this day
After watching this interview Chingy just earned my utmost respect. My mans got tricked by a fake lawyer while some ppl were spreading false rumors... The fact that he got betrayed and robbed yet he forgave all these ppl, not for them but in order to find peace, that is GROWTH. He seems wiser and clearly more aware of what truly matter in life.
Well said. Hit it right on the money.
The MOST HIGH removed him from those situation for a reason!! Continue being Blessed Chingy!
That was a horrible lie to falsify. Even if true why are you telling everyone private intimate stories 🤔
They still dont credit my man "J weave" for that PHENOMENAL TIMELESS ass hook! 🙏🎯💪💯 S/O Jason weaver frfr
They do lol everyone lovesss him, as they should
I thought that was him!!!
Right! I love Jason Weaver❤❤
Dammmn
Facts
Probably a lot of men jealous of him in the industry that’s why he got done dirty. As he was /is very good looking and had a lot of potential
Becuz he good looking ????so every good looking rapper dont stand a chance right lol u sound dumb af
@@cartersports1 yeah I’ve seen a few people comment the same thing, hella dumb lol
You'd be surprised how many people hate hard because someone else is attractive. It really makes no sense, but it happens, especially worse when that attractive person is a actually very talented at what they do.
You would be surprised how petty people can be.
@@cartersports1 if a man is good looking
He tends to get more attention
Chingy outshined luda on holiday inn, he was more attractive, new fresh face .
106 was seriously so important for black artists. They need to bring something like that back
Mecca Johnson they tried but bow wow fucked it up
That style of show is dead mainly because the music industry isn’t what is was. They had a formula of giving artists exposure before the internet blew up. Now, artist can drop and promo their own stuff, making a show like 106 irrelevant. You could drop a single on UA-cam and get a few million clicks overnight, 106 was great for that time, but it just doesn’t have a place today.
They tried to water it down and no one was feeling it, bowwow wanted to be “mr 106 and park” so bad and made it corny
@@unoaceo not necessarily- the model just needs to be updated for the new generation- like bring back 106 but have it on TV and UA-cam
Facts!
Wow people did Chingy so wrong; yet he's still so humble and carried himself so professionally through all that mess.
@Young CA damn she ugly cuhh
@@f20b94 Shin me she looks beautiful
Love that dude
@@calvinwatts5627 Definitely!!
That adds so much to his character 💖
I love how he respected Sidney even after she did him like that...that's true class
Moral of the story:
Always get a second opinion.
Learn the business you’re apart of.
Never take any pictures ever!!! I mean ever!!! Smh
Right Thurr
One Call Away
Holidae Inn
Pullin Me Back
Say what you want Chingy was dropping hits back to back to back to back...
U forgot Balla Baby
Dont forget he was on that song with that singer Houston & Nate dogg,I-20...I like that was the song
Balla baby was dooe and also the chicken head went with all dem🤣🤣🤣
@Souljah Chris exactly Dem jeans is 🔥🔥🔥
Classicks too
One Call Away always slips back into rotation. Jason Weaver killed that hook.
Always_Serpico facts 🔥💯
Always_Serpico I love love love Jason Weaver!!
I swear he Murdered that hook
Thats that guy from the show smart guy, when i saw the video i was surprised he was a singer also lol
A catch 22 damned if you do damned if you don't.
Chingy was so underrated. His cuts be STILL hitting in the Jeep like it ain't nothing. I wish he had better management to keep albums coming. He made serious music! Had good stories and chill vibes...cool as hell, always.
He's one of my fave. Still rockin his music this moment.
He is a cutie, I miss these days..Tyrese killed that hook and Jason Weaver!
FACTS!!!
That song was a hit
For real! Missed those days.
kieona allen Facts I love both those songs and he still cutie 🥰
Right on
We just gonna overlook the fact that Jason Weaver killed it. So underrated.
Right👏👏👏u know how long he been in entertainment business?????
Way underrated.
Right! The industry does true talent so wrong. 😞
Yes I'm glad u said his name
I always loved his voice that’s still one of my fav songs by Chingy ❤️
I liked his music he didnt rap excessively about killing, drugs and degradation of women and still had bops
Nah F that his type of music is why solja boy got big bunch of lame azz hooks not enough lyrics
@@j2323j i feel you..if you want real lyrics you won't find it in mainstream music as much anymore. Music been on a decline for at least a decade
@@shanelledavis2607 2 decades,
Content been gone for a while
🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣.
He seems real chill & down to earth,I’m glad he’s doing well!
I love his accent lol. I’m dating a guy from St.Louis & that’s exactly how my boo sounds it’s adorable
He still is sooo down to earth and able to smile, despite, despite all that was formed against him...salute
He’s such a positive dude!! We want more from him.
Jo Money not in this day and age😴
Ludacris looked uncomfortable sitting with chingy. Think luda didn't want him to blow like nelly did to take the light away from luda first time I've seen it like that
You could tell by his face in the interview with shaka Zulu and also in the part where they do a interview together . Where he just announces " there will be nee Artis coming out in 2008 " . like ulghh
He aged so beautifully 😍
Chingy is a genuine dude. Seen bro getting his hair cut in the shop and he spoke back and dapped me up and everything. I was kinda expecting him to kinda standoffish since he is a celebrity but nope he was a real dude, made me respect em even more
U lieing
@@youngking2128 why he got to be lying
He's not lying St Louis is a small i see Chingy all the times he like a regular person he really is a cool down-to-earth dude
I can sense that he is a genuine dude. Really seem like good people.
@@youngking2128 bro why would I lie? Well I guess this is the internet so anything is possible. But I don’t have anything to gain from lying. As a matter of fact bro had on designer tennis shoes that had leopard print on em
He seems so jolly. I feel like he probably has a great spirit!
He does and didn't deserve what happened.
All this songs of chinggy ..never lost in my playlist every time I spin ..
He's Always Stayed on My Mind.. From Time to Time...I'm Glad This Crossed My Phone & To See He's Still Doing His Thing...I've ALWAYS FELT HE DIDN'T GET THE EXPOSURE HE DESERVED... CONTINUOUS BLESSINGS..🙏🙏🙏🥂😊
Nelly made it Popular. I made it FAMOUS.
I Like that. 💯
Man he was raised right. Real man right thurrrr!
Danielle Jones Yup they don’t make em like Chingy no more.
😑
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for seeing and honoring a real man, Queen.
Best thing, he said he father still hurrrr
Such a humble man 🖤 thankyou for having Respect for yourself & knowing YOUR WORTH✨ I’m glad your still making 🎶 😆
Chingy is a good dude glad to see him... glad he is still out there putting out songs still he’s one of my favorites
I really like his personality...very humble and mature, good spirit, great artist, still handsome!
One of the most underrated rappers of the 00’s! Homie was a hit maker!
Real talk. Labels always searching for the next hitmaker, hell they had one.
I always thought he was overrated until watching this and realizing which songs were actually his lol. So I wouldn’t say underrated, he had tons of hits and platinum records.
He was not underrated. He was very big
Chingy look so young he could rerelease stuff and look like a brand new artist 👌
I met him once in Atlanta. Very cool, humble, respectful and down to earth guy.
Chingy for sure for sure had a good 3 albums that was fire, glad he getting his roses while he can smell em
Wow 3 albums?!!??? I didn't even know he had more than one
Most real music fans knew
@@Br99klynINg24_8 most real hip hop heads , don't know!!!
k c they stank
A lot of people tell their sides to stories but for some reason I believe everything Chingy says. Seems so genuine.
I feel the same way.. 💯 He's very humble about it..!
Amen
Truth
They robbed the success he should have gotten, and it must be painful for him to be backstabbed and being wrongly accused and interpreted. Feels so sad for Chingy, he has gone through a lot in life.
This my first time watching this interview about Chingy I’m so glad he’s doing well I like how he didn’t bash or talk trash about anyone he kept it 100 and moved on he talk like he got some sense and he’s very articulate I’m always gone bump his music like it’s 2004
Now where's chamillionaire, Mike Jones, Paul Wall, lil Flip and Twista?
Chamillionaire is an investor now. But yes, I would love to see the others!
yessss!!!
Chamillionaire said he doesn't want to be 40+ rapping his life away he make banger music but end of the day he needed to do something else for his future.
Twista made music in the last few years. It was fire but it didn't get promoted.
Ryan cham made a app he in a different industry
Chingy was underrated. Right thurr still bang in Oct 2019
facts
NBA LIVE 2004
Chingy was not underrated. He was one of the biggest stars of the 2000s.
ibn1989 Yeah AT THAT TIME. when your not put into the same sentence as guys like 2 Pac , BIG , Jay Z , guys who always in the GREATEST OF ALL TIME convos by everybody , then that’s what makes you underrated honestly but that’s how I see it
I love Chingy sooo much! He seems incredibly down to earth and humble with such a positive, happy attitude
Im from st louis but a little bit older and i NEVER realized how many good songs he had and the famous artists that he has worked with over the years he did good for himself snd his family my cousin works with him now hope they continue to do well i wish them all the success go st louis!!!!!
Now we need a "Finding : Ying Yang Twins" or a "Finding : YoungBloodz" documentary next.
Joseph Felton yeah bruh
YoungBloodz
Bloodz yea, the twins, naw
Factss
Oooo yes total throw backs!
I feel like Chingy can make a comeback. His style can still fit right in today's music
impossible, music industry dont work like that. if he get a big record deal, then maybe and by that time they would kill him.
@@applecandyfolks7979 you sound so stupid lol
Country Grammer tht summer was EVERYWHERE, tht was a dope ALBULM....... Chingy was Too Fine, bck then ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
@@cryosteam3944 lol im not gone lie, it does seem like he doesn't know how music work these days, Record deals aren't as powerful or dominant.
@@applecandyfolks7979 wtf you talking about lol
I love how respectful and spiritually grown he is. Sure, Sydney was ruthless in wanting to achieve fame and popularity. But so was everyone else, who cancelled him in the wake of it. I hope nowadays, any association with a person of trans experience, even by merely taking a picture with them - because they too can be lovers of music -, will not lead to imminent career death. But I think this experience was necessary for him, for his spiritual growth, seeing the bigger picture and finding true independence form the requirements of the herd/masses. A lesson more valuable than 10 No.1 albums.
I miss music like this !! Just brings a smile to myself when I think about music like this 🤎🤎♥️
I'm so proud to see he's still doing positive things.
Chingy had the whole package, he had the looks, the swag and the gift of gab. I really think Luda Chris and Nelly was for sure threated by Chingy, no doubt in my mind !
Huh
... Nelly went diamond 3 times only on to do it off double disk
true
J KING What are u talking about??
Luda was featured in Chingys songs!!
From what I've read Ludacris had a problem with Chingy because his debut album sold more than his album which was Chicken &Beer at the time
J KING FACTS
I glad this interview was done! Thanks!
I love the fact that he spoke on his growth process as he got a close connection with the higher power he is better off now then he would have ever been as a Rapper God got other plans to prosper Chingy i love his truth God bless you always young King🙏🏾❤🙏🏾
Chingy lowkey had the best Club Bangers.
marlon harrison *high key
Fym “lowkey “
He still does !!!
Mane had The Who fedex forum in Memphis turnt on the tour
Low key??? Wtf
That track with him and tyrese is timeless
1 of my all time favorites.. you killed it & hope you continue to be you
He’s a humble person! I love this 💯❤️🙏🏿
So since y'all brought him up, can we get a petition started to have him added to the millennium tour please???
janisa reeves he is already on it
Yesss 😇🙌🏽🙏🏽
Yassss
No.......
4 real though 👍🏾
What Sydney Star did to Chingy was horrible. I can only imagine how he felt going through those accusations and lies. And to think that people are actually giving that liar time. I wish Chingy much success.
He took a L & turned it into a W. People kno his name regardless 🤷
Great interview.
Good to see his perspective on his life and career.
His thoughts on the so-called "Beefs" should be seen by everyone in the entertainment industry, as well as all these folks with guns and knives in their hands as a means to solve their problems.
Those Tyrese and JWeav hooks...classic!
Still 🔥 in 2019!
"Pulling me back" with Tyrese is still my jam
Aqui do 🇧🇷 para dizer que Chingy é um grande artista seus fãs sempre estarão aqui para apoiar você 👊🏿
Very handsome man and seems like he's come along way. Loved his music back in the day and you can still catch me bumping "Right Thurr" every now and again. Just sad how many artists have had a short lived career because of the lack of knowledge of the business.
If u were in high school in early 2000s you are blessed to know how really fun things were at that time 💯
I said the same thing everyone really misses the 2000s I was born in January ofn 94 couldn't be happier with that I miss growing up then the generation after Y is truly missing out
@@tylercouture216 but you weren't in high school at this time then.🤔 Unless you was like the dude in Smart Guy.🤣💯
Hell yeah
@@D_J_313 Just noticed he said he was born in 94...so he understands but doesnt know the true experience of that time
03 riite HURR! SDHS
I honestly love this Finding series especially all the clearing up of rumors/drama/beef from the 2000's.
Man Chingy made timeless music. He really could slide a banger in now if he tried.
What a coincidence , I played Right Thurr recently hanging out with my friends and we couldn't get enough of it.
