New Artist Jibbs' Single "Chain Hang Low". A History behind the nusery rhyme that the song is biting off of .


Recently there is a new artist out of Saint Louis that goes by the name JIBBS. Jibbs debut single "Chain hang low" has a history that most people are not aware of. The particular nusery rhyme that the song mimics is "Ears Hang Low" The history behind this song is that during the civil war Confererate soldiers would remove certain body parts (primarily ears and testicles) from the deceased corpses of freed slaves who were fighting as Northern (Yankee) soldiers after their battles. These "trinkets" were then placed on a rope necklace and worn as a trophy piece. As the lyrics to the nusery rhyme state "do your ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro... etc" "Can you throw them over your shoulder like a (Continental) soldier". This word (Continental) took this nursery rhyme from racist jargon to playful melody. The word that filled this space was (Confederate) as in Confederate soldier. Other nursery rhymes have done the same i.e. Eenie, Meenie, Minee, Moe catch a Ni**er by his toe. Not Tiger. My question to young people black and white is that "Does knowing the history of the nursery rhyme change your opinion of the New single by Jibbs. " Personnally knowing this myself I can't stand to hear the song. It seems to advertise our ignorance as a people. I wrote this note to inform people of this. Knowledge is power and Ignorance IS NOT BLISS; its SUICIDE. If you don't know, you can't change. So black, white, indifferent tell me how you feel about this now that you've attained knowledge

Why in the Texas hell am I sitting here watching A Nightmare On Elm Street? If there is one horror movie that will give me nightmares, that's the one. Now I'm gonna swear Freddy Kruegers in my closet all night.

BooBoo left this evening. I miss his messy ass already. He's going to have to pack his shit and move..lol. Yeah I doubt that's going to happen. Wonder where that'll leave us. We had a good time though, didn't even have one "disagreement" while he was here. That's rare.

Glad I had the week off to spend with him. Wait did I have the week off? I guess it counts as a week off considering I wasn't working but I still had to go get stuff done on that base. You would think they would kind of leave you alone when they're about to send you out the country. Not here. I have medical appointments, repetitive training to do, equipment to pick up and it just goes on and on.

To answer a question from my last post. The little brother with the sex questions is the straight one. He's just weird like that. I call him the Kappa. The gay lil brother and I don't really talk. My relationship with him is a casualty of my relationship with our father. We have been communicating on Myspace though.

Ran-dumbness

-As I type this I'm at work slowly nearing the end of my shift. I pretty much worked 7 days this week. Never again.
-I'm off for the next seven days though. Hallelujah!!!
-BooBoo will be here Wednesday afternoon. Damn, it's been like a month and half. Probably gonna take another month to recover. Heh Heh.
-I'm in charge of a shift full of young white males.
- Why are they always talking bout sucking each others dicks and calling each other fags and carrying on. I don't understand that fraternity behavior.
- There's an article about AJ and Free of 106th & Park fame in this months Vibe. Why is it sooo unrevealing.
- Why is everytime you try to approach a gay male on a friendship level they always assume you trying to get with them?
- I got my official RIP for my deployment a couple days ago. January 20th baby. LJ takes on Baghdad......LOL
- Why is my younger brother always asking me about sex? He asked if I trimmed my secret garden tonight. That boy is weird.
- I get the feeling Monica has lived a hard life from listening to her new CD. Sideline Ho is one of the best songs I've heard in a minute.
- I tried really hard to not like Justin Timberlakes new CD but I got to admit most of it is pretty tight. I wish I liked Janets more.
- Why am I just now discovering that show The Wire? Good stuff.
- I need a hair cut so bad. It's curling up all over the place. I got I cow lick.

My Moms is Krazy

So my mother cussed me out today because I wasn't returning her phone calls and them immediately reinforced my reasons for not returning her phone calls. I just prefer not to deal with her much. She thinks I'm still angry about things that happened when I was a kid but I'm not. I'm just detached, almost completely, from her and her drama. She believes we should this beautiful mother-son relationship that just aint happening.
I mean, I hated this woman at 14 years old, pitied her after I left home and now I'm just kinda annoyed. I can hear the "that's the only mother you're ever gonna haves" out there. So, I'll just say I love the lady. I just don't like the person that she is.

I just found out my little brother( half-brother)Darnell is gay. I haven't seen this dude since he was about seven, he's 16 now. My other little brother(Pierce) works in admissions at Berkeley University and had to do a presentation at Darnells school. Pierce said he was leaving the school and heard some Queen calling his name. He said he was surprised as hell to find out it was his little brother. That shit was hilarious. It funny to me because we have almost the same name too. I'm Larry Darnell Minor he's Darnell Larry Minor. The two Gay Minor boys....LOL. Dad should be so proud.
