Amazing how few reviews this has gotten? Not a bit.

"Jibbs brings us Jibbs Feat Jibbs. One may wonder if Jibbs is presenting us another artist named Jibbs, who happens to have a partner in rhyme also coincidentally named Jibbs; at the very least, that'd be interesting. More interesting than Jibbs' psuedo-eponymous debut.



He's from St. Louis, so already, he's going to draw immediate comparisons to Nelly and Chingy. That's kinda unfair to compare him to both of those artists, however; Nelly, at least, has a polished flow, and as for Chingy, he's at least slightly interesting, if only for his annoying qualities. He at least has a personality; Jibbs is like a clone of these two evils, with less personality, less experience, and amazingly, less talent.



If you loved Chain Hang Low, then you're probably not going to like this review. I'm sorry, but I call artists as I see them. Although Chain Hang Low is catchy in its simplicity, it's only one of two intriguing songs on this album(the other being King Kong, if only for Chamillionaire's guest appearance, and the Screwed-up hook), while the rest of this album falls well below the line of mediocrity. Download those two tracks if you must, but leave this on the shelves with the rest of the garbage."

Again with this?

"I told you, you can't bring SNAFS down.



Jibbs? What the _________ kind of name is that? YOu th ought Chingy was a horrible name? Try Jibbs. It makes Nelly look like The Beatles (name-wise).



Worse, this idiot can't rap, and the only way to make a good chorus is to rip it off of, Do you ears hang low? When I heard this, I though it was a sick joke, but this guy thinks he's making music! Comedy at it's finest!



Don't bother, anybody named Jibbs isn't worth this time. ALso, the music is _____ to, that is what matters the most. And it is grade-A ____.

Sounds a little rushed

"I remember that when I first heard "Chain Hang Low", I thought it was annoying for two reasons: 1) it uses the music from the kiddie song "Do Your Ears Hang Low" (or as I like to call it, the ice cream truck theme song -- at least, here in Milwaukee) and 2) it's another one of those rap songs with a chorus sung by kids (in R&B songs that sounds all right, but in rap songs it never works). Still, I decided to check out 16-year-old Jibbs and his album, Jibbs featuring Jibbs (whatever THAT'S supposed to mean).



Actually, maybe that's supposed to refer to some sort of alter-ego, because Jibbs' voice sounds completely different on every song on here. And while none of the songs are really TERRIBLE, they're really nothing to write home about either. To be honest, this album sounds like Jibbs made it in a week. The first four songs just have him talking about his bling; and some songs make no sense at all, particularly "I'm a Rhino" and the Chamillionaire-assisted "King Kong".



Jibbs also has a habit of boringly using similes; the lowest point of which is "Bring It Back", when telling a girl to dance, he instructs: "It's time for you to hit a home run like a bat". Did we really need the "like a bat" part? Was someone having trouble understanding what he meant? Anyway, that song is passable, but another song in the same vein, "Go Gurl", is pretty average.



One interesting thing about this album is the lack of profanity: there's only about one "n" or "b" word to be found (although the latter refers to a guy). This is probably in keeping with his age, which might also explain the hard-to-get-into abstinence ode "Go Too Far", which is an update of Janet Jackson's "Let's Wait Awhile" featuring Melody Thornton of the Pussycat Dolls (you know, the black one; I say that because most people probably don't know the names of any of the girls not named Nicole Scherzinger).



Right now, it's too soon to say whether or not Jibbs will have a lasting run in the rap game. Considering this album came out in October and this is only the sixth review for it, most people would probably say no, but we'll just have to wait and see what the future holds (if there IS one).
