Did Chingy Predict 2020 in 2003?

Yes.


As you will see in the below manifesto, the song “Holidae Inn” by Chingy is absolutely riddled with symbolism and links to COVID-19, The Illuminati, Satan and Tom Brady. For the sake of keeping this relatively short, I will limit my comments to select lines the first verse of the 2003 Billboard Top 10 All-Time song (as voted on by me). 


What you thought Chingy meant: Holidae Inn - Party at the local British owned American hotel chain Holiday Inn founded in 1952 by Kemmons Wilson
What Chingy actually meant: everyone will go on a government-mandated extended HOLIDAY, IN their own homes. 

While originally founded in Memphis, Tennessee, Holiday Inn is now headquartered in Dedham, Buckinghamshire (England). Here is why this fact is important: England under rule of Queen Elizabeth II who, according to multiple sources on Facebook from my hometown, is a Satanist and also part of the Illuminati (!!!!!). It is also worth mentioning that Dedham, Buckinghamshire was listed in the “Doomsday Book” written in 1086 (!!!!!!!!!). Sounds pretty ominous to me however in the interest of full disclosure, I did not click the Wikipedia link for Doomsday Book in the article while I was doing the research for this project. 

Holidae Inn = 10 characters (including spaces) - why else would he change the spelling?
Nostradamus = 10 letters

What Chingy said: “Get a 12 pack of Corona plus an ounce of ‘dro, ya know?”
What Chingy meant: The number 12 refers to Tom Brady and the fact that he will be leaving the Patriots. “‘Dro” refers to marijuana grown by way of hydroponics using water instead of soil. Tom Brady went to Tampa Bay, which is conveniently located next to water!
Chingy’s outwardly use of the word “Corona” (which is street slang for COVID-19) is interesting in a sense that he very obviously knows exactly what is about to happen in 13 years after the release of his song. How I did not pick up on this in the 7th grade is baffling. 

What Chingy said: “Pull up, stop park, rims still spinnin”
What Chingy meant
Stop park: Stop going to parks and other public spaces, they will be closed and off limits - this is a clear warning for us to stay home and #FlattenTheCurve.
Rims still spinnin: Chingy isn’t stupid, car rims cannot continue to spin after you stop, that is an absolute impossibility. He meant REMs! (Rapid Eye Movement ) We will be at home with nothing to do so your REM cycles will continue to spin past your normal wake up time. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

What Chingy said: “Now I’m on Highway 2-7, need a natural graze road”
What Chingy meant: The angel number 27 “encourages you to listen to your intuition because it is your best guide (Internet, et al.).” Chingy is telling us to listen to our hearts and not the information being provided to us by reporters, doctors and experts alike. 

What Chingy said: “To room four-nine-O I'm headed; on my way up
There's three girls on the elevator like ‘wassup?’”
What Chingy meant: Another angel number - Angel number 490 “relates to the field of work and personal development and says that the time has come for your professional grown (also got this from the internet).” While the number 3 has a ton of meaning, most notably it is a prime number and a triangle number. You know who else likes triangles? THE ILLUMINATI. 

What Chingy said: “Yeah, that’s me, Ching-a-ling equipped with much ding-a-ling”
What Chingy meant: Nothing that has to do with 2020 or the end of days, just an absolute iconic line that deserves more attention and possibly a Nobel Prize. 

What Chingy said: “There’s some pretty girls in here: I heard ‘em whisperin. Talkin ‘bout that’s that dude that sing ‘Right Thurr’; he glistenin.”
What Chingy meant: “Glistening” refers to vampires (Twilight vampires not Blade vampires, very important distinction) and vampires symbolize the end of days and sucking the blood out of, and eliminating, all humans.  

In conclusion: Chingstradamus was right.

A Definitive Ranking of Steven Seagal Movies From a Guy Who has Definitley Seen More than One Steven Seagal Movie


*SPOILERS AHEAD*

(We should start by this disclaimer of that is such: Steven is currently ALLEGEDLY involved in some shady stuff of which I do not condone, however I do condone kicking bad guys in the face and pony tails on dudes over the age of 40.) 

The following is a definitive ranking of the top 5 Steven Seagal movies based on a few very important parameters that I have set as the foremost expert on movies of this generation, and honestly, quite possibly the next. I have watched well over 75 movies in my lifetime and have also watched The Office and Parks and Rec a combined 5 times through (excluding Scott’s Tots for obvious reasons). 

The scoring will go as followed:
How badass is the cover - 5 points
How badass are the glasses Steven Seagal is wearing on the cover - 7 points
Have I seen the movie - 10 points
How many bad guys get killed (based off of my estimation of either watching the movie or reading a brief summary of said movie) - 12 points


5. Into the Sun (2005)
Cover - 5 points: This cover is SUPER badass. Tons of flames and explosions. Sensi Seagal has what would appear to be an M-16 with a friggin GRENADE LAUNCHER strapped to his back (would probably explain the explosions). The tag line reads “Only one man can stop the Yakuza” and if that’s true, I’m glad he’s on our side. 
Glasses - 0 points: Not even wearing any. Honestly should get negative points IMO. Probably lost them in the explosions though. 
Seen the movie - 0 points: Didn’t even read a summary. 
Bad guys killed - 1 point: Probably like 3 and one of them is just playing dead. 
Final thoughts: 6 points: This movie kind of sucks, don’t waste your time. Does not live up to the hype of the cover. Truly disappointing. 


4. Under Siege 2 (1995)

Cover - 4 points: Ol buddy is literally riding the side of a flaming train, doesn’t get much more badass than that (unless maybe if you were walking away from an exploding train wearing a leather duster ((see above)). 
Glasses - 4 points: Given my limited research on the subject, 1995 was before he started wearing glasses. Could be wrong though honestly. However, he gets 4 points because his eyes in the photo are piercing yet so calming in this seemingly triumphant moment in the movie. Seagal has the look of a guy who is about to save the girl and do what grown-ups do.
Seen the movie - 5.5 points: Have not seen the movie but I think I have seen the original Under Siege and I can infer what happens from there.  
Bad Guys Killed - 9 Points: At least 30 bad guys were on that train. That train looks pretty evil.
Final thoughts - 22.5 points: A major step up from Into the Sun but still not one of Seagal’s strongest performances. As a movie buff, Under Siege 1 is much better. 


3. Code of Honor (2016)

Cover - 5 points: Backwards hat, check. Fire and explosions, check. Large gun, check. Our first look at Steve with a goatee, CHECK. 
Glasses - 7 points: Red oval lenses with wire frames were all the rage in 2016 and we owe it all to one man, Mr. Steven Seagal. Not only is he from Lansing, Michigan and a naturalized citizen of Russia, Steven Seagal is a Kanye-esque trend setter and he does not get enough credit for that. 
Seen the movie - 2 points: This is where this movie gets hurt in the scoring however I have read the first paragraph of the movie’s Wikipedia page. Colonel Robert Sikes appears to be a one man wrecking crew/vigilante. Sikes is fighting against the man (his former protégé and local authorities). This movie is 106 minutes long and had a budget of $8 million. 
Bad Guys Killed - 0 points: Its hard to tell from the first paragraph if he’s killing good guys or bad guys or bad buys who hide behind the veil of being a good guy? So I’m going to play it safe and award him 0 points. 
Final thoughts - 14 points: This movie has it all: a cool cover, red oval glasses, a man who has been wronged (I think?) and Steven Seagal. Definitely worth a watch if you can find yourself a copy at your local pawn shop. 


2. Machete (2010)

Cover - 5 points: Wow. Talk about a star studded cast! Danny Trejo holding, you guessed it, a friggin machete. Jessica Alba is there, remember her? Robert DeNiro of Dirty Grandpa fame. The chick from Fast and Furious! And last but certainly not least, Steven Seagal wielding a very large katana sword. 
Glasses - 5 points: I know he’s not wearing them on the cover but I think he wears them at some point in the movie? Don’t fact check me.
Seen the movie - 10 points: I have seen the movie and I can confidently say its a great rainy day watch or any day watch for that matter. Machete is a masterpiece and the plot is so crazy you wouldn’t believe me if I told you. I don’t want to give anything away but the good guys win and its freakin sweet. 
Bad Guys Killed - 11 points (would have been 12 but had to pour one out for the homie S. Seagal): Kind of a good news/bad news situation here, you guys. Seagal (Rogelio Torres) is a bad guy and he meets his death, however he does it in the most traditional way possible for a guy who was born in Michigan and is playing a man of Spanish descent but now lives in Russia and is obsessed with martial arts and Asian culture (I’m talkin’ seppuku, you guys). 
Final thoughts - 31 points: This movie should have swept the 2010 Academy Awards. 


1. Exit Wounds (2001)

Cover - 5 points: Steven Seagal and DMX photoshopped onto a gun in the foreground of an ominous background? This poster is still widely considered the most creative and thought provoking movie poster of all time. Entire masters-level graphic design class curriculums are based solely on this poster alone. I wish I could give it more than just 5 measly points. 
Glasses - 7 points: I know Steven Seagal isn’t wearing his patented round wire framed glasses but honestly how many chances do we get to see DMX in Steven Seagal’s glasses? Have to take and cherish those opportunities when they present themselves. 
Seen the movie - 10 points: I remember watching this exquisite film in my buddy David’s basement (David does CrossFit now but we remain close) and it has lived with me ever since; mostly just the scene where the fat guy tries to follow DMX over the fence but steps into the box and doesn’t make it. Come to think of it, that’s pretty much all I remember about the movie outside of DMX and Steven Seagal putting on a performance that unofficially inspired Prince’s smash hit, “When Doves Cry.”
Bad Guys Killed - 12 points: If my memory serves me correctly from high school, a LOT of bad guys get killed in this movie and it comes in a myriad of forms. Guns, kicks, stabs, punches and swords (probably) are all used to defeat evil.
Final thoughts - 36 points: A perfect score for perfect film. Two noted all-around good guys (Steven Seagal and DMX) will bring you to tears and have you on the edge of your seat for the duration of it’s 102 minutes of run time. You’ll also get to watch a portly man fall though a box and its funnier than it sounds, I swear.
