"Chain Hang Low"
Song

"Chain Hang Low" is the debut single by Jibbs from his debut album Jibbs featuring Jibbs. The song went on to rack up more than 20,000 ringtone downloads in a span of two weeks. The video shows adolescents doing the snap dance. "Chain Hang Low" reached #7 on Billboard Hot 100.

The Source magazine and XXL blogger Byron Crawford have classified this song in a genre of music called "minstrel show rap", because the chorus's melody is taken from the minstrel show song "Zip Coon." Jibbs claims he didn't know the origins of the song and used the melody as a reference to the children's song "Do Your Ears Hang Low?"

Lil' Mama has made a similar song to this called G-Slide (Tour Bus)", both choruses sample a nursery rhyme and the verses have a very rap-influenced beat.

There was an official remix released which had a verse by Lil Wayne. The song was used during opening credits for the movie Drillbit Taylor.
