We just came across this song, "Close Fit", by dancehall dudes Delly Ranx and Esco, which informs the world that "badmen" aren't allowed to wear skinny jeans, but close fit ones are fine. If by "badmen" they mean "guys with fat legs" then we totally agree. Oi, chubby thighs, leave the skinny jeans to My Chemical Romance fans, OK?Anyway, the song got us thinking about our pal Gabriel's Badman Commandments column in dancehall, dubstep and grime fanzine Woofah in which he reveals some of the more ridiculous things "badmen" have been, in the past, told they are not permitted to do.Read some of the best ones after you click the link."Badman don't drink Snapple."
(Mr Easy - "Feel Alright")"Sensible badman nuh par with idiot."
(Beenie Man - "Real Badman")"Badman nuh go watch Brokeback Mountain."
(Elephant Man - "Nuh Bruck Back Mountain")"Badman nuh like Tom Sawyers."
(Wayne Wonder - "Tom Sawyer") "Badman nuh inna the Boyz II Men ting."
(Cojo Banton - "Check Yu Self Out") "Badman nuh wear horse hair."
(Merciless, live at Sting 2001) "Badman nuh follow girl go bathroom go pee pee."
(Busy Signal - "PPPPP")"Badman nuh bleach or shave them eyebrow."
(Munga - "Na Hear")
