Music video

"Right Thurr" (Remix) on YouTube

"Right Thurr" is the debut single of American rapper Chingy. Written alongside The Trak Starz. It was released on April 14, 2003, by Capitol Records, Priority Records, and Disturbing tha Peace as the lead single from his debut album, Jackpot (2003). The song received positive reviews from critics, who praised the production and Chingy's addictive delivery.

"Right Thurr" stayed at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 for five non-consecutive weeks, giving Chingy his first of three top-five hits on that chart. It also became a number-one hit on the Hot Rap Songs chart for four weeks and peaked at numbers two and five on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Mainstream Top 40 charts, respectively. The song reached number one in New Zealand and peaked within the top 20 in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Norway, and the United Kingdom. It was certified gold in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

An accompanying music video for the song, directed by Jessy Terrero, takes place in Chingy's birthplace of St. Louis. An official remix for the song was made as a bonus track on the album that featured rappers Jermaine Dupri and Trina. A music video for the remix, directed by Jeremy Rall, features all three artists dancing on an all-white backdrop.

Critical reception

Matt Cibula of PopMatters liked Chingy's choice of playing a pimp-like character for the song, saying "there’s something to his voice, a certain awed respect for the absolutely amazing qualities of southern women, that puts the song over the top."^[2] Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic called it an "instant party rap classic".^[3] John Mulvey of NME gave a mixed review of the song, noticing the imitation Neptunes beat from the Trak Starz and Chingy's limitation as a rapper, but still found it to be "utterly irresistible" concluding that "It's all terribly Dirty South, as you'd imagine, but Chingy's soft and compelling way with the letter 'r' is weirdly Devonian, too. Which isn't something you can say about most potty-mouthed hip-hop prodigies these days. Nice wurrk."^[1]

"Right Thurr" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of May 17, 2003, at number 97.^[4] Six weeks later, it moved ten spots from number 31 to 21 the week of June 28, 2003.^[5] It moved six spots to number 15 the week of July 5, 2003.^[6] It entered the top 10 on the week of July 12, 2003, by moving six spots to number nine.^[7] It reached the top five by moving five spots to number four the week of July 19, 2003.^[8] It peaked at number two for five non-consecutive weeks, starting on the week of August 9, 2003.^[9]^[10] It stayed on the chart for thirty-three weeks.^[11]

Music video

Directed by Jessy Terrero,^[12] the video takes place at Beacon Ave. in Walnut Park East, St. Louis where Chingy is with his friends outside the porch of his house and is attracted by several women walking past his house. It moves to a club run where DJ Quik DJs, where Chingy is performing on stage and partying with his friends while throwing money in the air, and at Courtesy Diner where Chingy is hanging out inside and outside of the diner. It ends with a late-night shot of the Gateway Arch intercut with fade shots of Chingy at the club. Ludacris, Murphy Lee, Kyjuan, The Trak Starz and Tity Boi make cameo appearances in the video.^{[citation needed]}

An uncut version of the video featured extended scenes from the club of various women in bras and thongs doing suggestive dances on the people and/or each other. It was only shown at late-night on BET: Uncut and on the enhanced CD/DVD version of the album.
