'Dumplin Shop' Lovindeer's Cover of Rampin Shop

Lovindeer can be crowned the Al Yankovic of dancehall music, as the man who takes serious 'serious tunes' and turn them into a fun filled package. The latest work of art from Lovindeer is a tune called 'Dumplin Shop' a spin off from the controversial tune 'Rampin Shop' done by Kartel and Spice. Rampin Shop was draped up internationally by officials from the Ne-Yo camp due the use of the 'miss independent riddim' and then the song further triggered actions on the local level causing the Broadcasting Commission (BC) in Jamaica to ban on all lewd music on radio and television, edited or not edited, slightly suggestive even. Since then 'Rampin Shop' have been redone twice, once for the riddim to be edited and then edited to remove bleeps and the suggestive content.

The tune by Lovindeer, as ususal, grabs the opportunity of popularity of the song and the need for witty creativity that the BC has now forced the artiste to produce due to the ban on the
edited lewd lyrics.

Lovinder's version have been criticised, mostly on a low keyed level, of its suggestive nature of oral sex in particular. I am not sure why the BC has not picked up on that one yet .. perhaps its not lewd enough.
Its gives chuckles if you are that jovial .. and as with most of Lovindeer cover songs you cant take them too seriously. But no doubt this ought to be found funny...
