Dem Bow Tee
Note: This is mostly El Chombo's research. I am condensing this for people that are curious about the history of the "genre." You can find him on YouTube. You need to know Spanish to learn from him. Dembow (correctly written as "Dem Bow") is not a genre of music but a song and a colloquial slang from Jamaica. It means "them bow." The name was popularized by a song called "Dem Bow" by Shabba Ranks that was released in 1990. In Shabba Ranks song, he brings up a couple of social issues in Jamaica. "Dem Bow" has a racist and homophobic meaning. 1) "Them bow" means one bows to the white man. 2) "Them bow" means one bows as a way to have sexual intercourse with another man. Jamaica was an English colonized territory from 1655 until 1962 when they got their independence. Jamaica's society in the 80's and 90's and before was homophobic. This song presented these issues. Shabba Ranks didn't popularize the famous (or infamous) "Tumpa-Tumpa" rhythm, that came after. The rhythm doesn't come from Jamaica, but Africa; as do the vast majority of latin rhythms. The "Tumpa-Tumpa" rhythm was actually popularized from a song produced by Dennis "The Menace" Thompson and the singer Nando Boom. "Pounder" is actually what the rhythm is called.

Fun and soft.
Good stuff! Although, I do have a sneaking suspicion that this is cursed. You see, whenever i dawn this top-teir, soft, stylish shirt - I proceed to pass out within 46 seconds. The mere act of making contact with the material insues the process of this countdown starting. If I do not quit contact, i will lose conciousness the exact moment the countown hits 0. And when I regain clarity, I find myself in a bathtub - never mine, but a bathtub nevertheless. In the bathtub, there is always various colours of hairdye. I then have to go back home, shirt stained with dye. Very fashionable though! 10/10
Smooth transaction and nice product, shipping was quick!

Got it for a friend! He loved it
Size was accurate, and printed text was as displayed online. Doesn't hurt that the material is pretty soft either.
mine says "ass" on it lol
Good Decent, comfortable by all means
My wife bought this for me, my only thing about the shirt, is the big Vernon on the front. I think I would prefer it situated and smaller type as if overva pocket. Other than that I love it. Seems to be of good quality and easy wearability, but I have only tried it on, so am uncertain. Thank you for making my day
