Chingy (born Howard Bailey, Jr. on March 9, 1980, in St. Louis, Missouri) is
an African American hip-hop artist.
A former member of the Disturbing Tha Peace collective with Ludacris, Chingy
came into the spotlight on his own with his single "Right Thurr" (which has
become a popularly used phrase world wide, despite being grammatically
incorrect and coined by Nelly previously) from his album, Jackpot. After the
success of "Right Thurr", "Holidae Inn", featuring Snoop Dogg and Ludacris,
climbed the charts, followed by "One Call Away" featuring J-Weav.

Despite his commercial success, Chingy has been frequently criticized by the
hip-hop community for unoriginal lyrics and rhyme flows.
In 2004, he released a new album entitled Powerballin', featuring the single
"Balla Baby". He was also featured in the hit song "I Like That" by Houston.
Chingy has a well-documented ongoing feud with local rapper Nelly, who is
also from his hometown of St. Louis (University City, MO). Chingy has
claimed that Nelly has stole his signature lines and placed them in his
albums. Chingy frequently mentions St. Louis in his music and sees himself
as representing his hometown. His play on words like "there [thurr], and "here"
[hurr] is actually a common accent in St. Louis's black community. |
