Yes! Dancehall parodies are a thing! Of them, my favourite is Fake Jeans Admit It.

So, Vybez Kartel is kind of known for singing about clothes. For other things too, but singing about clothes is one of the things he does. Of those songs, the most well-known is the one where he fangirls super hard about how much he loves his shoes.

De ledda hard // De suede sof
Tootbrush get out the dus fas
Everybody ha’fi ask where mi get mi Clarks
Everybody ha’fi ask where mi get mi Clarks

However, this isn’t his only song about how great his clothes are! No, he has another one which is a more general exploration of his style and how #quality it is.

Straight jeans and fitted
Inna white t-shirt we did it
We rock dose shades to di limit
(Uptown, uptown)
Same so wi dweet, wi dweet ah portmoooore (OH)

Mi gucci belt ah di realest
Mi rosary chain ah di purest
Mi G-shock watch: Timeless
Same so wi dweet, wi dweet ah portmoooore (OH)

But, if you think that looks silly, then you’re not alone. It was ripe for parody from the start. Enter DJ Bambino, who’s here to sing about his own style – and how to look fly on a budget.

Fake jeans – admit it!
Knock off T-shirts – we did it!
We rock wannabe Clarks to di limits
(Downtown, downtown)
Cyah shop uptown cuz we too poooor

Mi grocery belt a di realest
Mi clothes knock off – but ah di cleanest!
Got nuh G-shock watch, so mi timeless
Cyah shop uptown cuz we so poooor

I love my culture
