Chingy, that dude that brought us the iconic hits Right Thurr and Holidae In, has been named one of the worst rappers of all time and he has a few things to say about that particular list.
The American rapper - real name Howard Earl Bailey Jr - sat down for an interview with YouTube's VladTV to chat about his inclusion on the '50 worst rappers of all time' list.
"People kill me," Chingy told the YouTube channel.
"[They] have nothing to do. They sit around, I don't know if they're just watching videos or something, and then somebody just writes down some names."

He lashed out at the 'worst rapper of all time' list that has been circulating online, branding it as 'absurd and needs to be done away with'.
"Somebody's got too much time on their hands," he said.
"They [are going to] sit there and disrespect these people by trying to say they're the 'worst rapper'? Well, I'm going to say this: It means nothing to me. Nothing at all."
The Holidae In rapper added: "I know me, and I know I'm not one of the worst.
"I can't be one of the worst rappers when I have these hit records and when I have all of these fans and these people who love me and tell me everyday."
The 42-year-old rapper went on to say that he first heard about the list on a podcast.
"[The podcast host] was like this rapper is one of the worst uh, maybe," Chingy said, revealing that the podcaster went on to name him as one of the worst in between 'ums' and 'ahs'.
"So he wasn't even sure that I was the worst rapper," Chingy said to VladTV.
"It's subjective. There's seven billion people in existence."
The Right Thurr rapper then went on to list his accolades in the face of the 'worst rapper' list.
"I've sold over 50 million records worldwide. I still have success. I have people that love me," he said.
He added: "I had someone tell me this the other day [that I am their favourite rapper]."
Chingy went on to say that it doesn't matter what some list says.
"That's just those people's perception. They have nothing else to do except talk [about] others," he said.
The rap star went on to say that he had been listening to his own music earlier in the day and had noted to himself that one of his lyrics was 'real tight'.
"I was like 'damn, how could that be one of the worst rappers? That verse was hot," Chingy said as he chuckled at himself.
