Talk:Chain Hang Low

Turkey in the Straw?!?!?!
This song is a much stronger reference to "Do your ears hang low?" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Your_Ears_Hang_Low%3F 96.41.10.91 (talk) 03:21, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Citation for Minstrel show origins

It's an article from The Source magazine, the one with Xzibit or Jim Jones on the cover (there were two covers for that issue). Brad T. Cordeiro 01:14, 20 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Crawford, Byron (2006-09-22). "Minstrel show rap". XXL Magazine. Retrieved 2007-01-03.

And that's the reference for Byron Crawford. - Brad T. Cordeiro 20:27, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Lil Mont's version
Lil Mont's "Chain Hang Low" came out in 2002, was produced by DJ Beats from Da Beatstaz (same producer as Jibbs version) and 11-year-old Jibbs was one of the kids chanting the chorus on the original song. In fact, a very young Jibbs rapped a verse on the remix along with Murphy Lee of the St. Lunatics. 4 years later he would come out with his own version, also produced by DJ Beats, and would feature Lil Mont on the remix. So it is not a controversial "bite" but rather a throwback to the "old" song from the same people involved. I have no sources to cite other than my own memory so I'm putting this in talk.

Perhaps a rebellion song?
According to the article, children are stealing ice cream while singing. Perhaps Do your Chain Hang Low is their rebellion song, used to represent a rebellion against adult superiors? GrinningIodize (talk) 17:28, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
