It's MUCH harder than people think, if you know Jamaican slang. That dude had the balls to call himself out as "The Article Don" on a track! People in that scene have been MURDERED for lesser shit! 💯 And the scene let him roll with that, because they respected his skills and knew he was for REAL! And that is both crazy and real! 💯 In the Dancehall scene, that dude was Eminem when Eminem was like 5 yrras old.
Same as with Vanilla Ice, as hard as people find it to believe he was already in the scene for 2 years before Ice ice baby. Dude had plenty cred as did Snow but the media just fucking made a mockery of them.
'A licky boom-boom down' means, like, I'll hit down the informer; I'll knock the informer out a guy Rated him out and he went to jail for boosting cars this song made it on the Air when he was in jail
He went to jail while awaiting trial for attempted murder...he did go for boosting cars also but when song released he was in on murder charges he was acquitted
Legal is another great song by Snow and features Canadian comic legends The Trailer Park Boys. Snow was huge in Canada in the 90s. Girl I’ve Been Hurt is a slow jam by Snow from the same era as Informer. He grew up in Toronto in a mostly Jamaican neighbourhood, hence the style. Canada is very multicultural, so it’s not uncommon to see something like this.
Snow is Canadian. He's pretty good with the Patois, he grew up with in a Jamacain community. " Lickie boom, boom .." means he's going to take the informer down.
Yep, alot of folks think it about a sexual, but its not, Lickey or hit a lick means to attack or defend yourself rather it be fist or clips, boom boom suggest you you shooting down mean ya body gonna drop to the ground
I was just thinking of requesting this one! Good song request Doug! This song is catchy and it will be stuck in my head all night but that's OK because this song is amazing!
He's from Toronto, and he's speaking in Patois. He grew up in the projects in Scarborough. Unfortunately, he showed up about the same time as Vanilla Ice, and was labelled a fake. He's genuine. 'Licky boom boom down' is Jamaican slang for 'I'm going to shoot you'. Snow was in prison for attempted murder when this song was released. The first time he saw the video was from his jail cell.
I had the meaning all wrong back in the day, i told so many females that I would lickie boom boom down. Only to find out years later that it meant something COMPLETELY different lmao. Still a great hit though.
I wish u would react to steel heart song I’ll never let u go. It is a great rock song to react to both great vocals and if u want another one with great vocals it would be journeys when u love a woman

this was such a good song. It was ahead of it's time. People weren't ready. I still know EVERY word.

Anything for you - Remix a collab with top ragga artists is a classic.

I was in high school when this came out and I think every teenage boy tried, and failed, to adopt this style.
It is catchy as hell though.
The bass line is infectious.
Great now I have to go watch the Jimmy Carry Parody.
many hits from those years are totally forgotten, but not this one.
Daddy Yankee did a remix called Con Calma and features Snow on it, it's 🔥
I remember looking up the hook to see what he was saying and yes he not Jamaican he says it in thr song
This is a bop 😂… so sick! Enjoy 🙏
👏👏👏👏👏 Great video and song 🔥
Had this on cassette lol showing my age now😮
I have this on tape 2
Same hear lol and it still remember all the words much to my grandchildrens surprise.
Had the Biggest Crush on Him! I was so Boy Crazy back in the day.🤣
Hey Rick, check out Imposter (Snow) Jim Carey 😂
Don't lose a shoe....
Highest charting reggae song in history
😎 ******NOTHING BREAKS STEREOTYPES, LIKE A WHITE, CANADIAN, REGGAE, HIP HOP, RAPPER****** 😎
Licky boom boom means to knock someone out

Track about taking out a snitch essentially
Lighter shade of brown - homies reaction
Google the song meaning. He was acquitted of murder. Lick the boom boom down means knowing off or taking out the snitch
He was in jail when this was relased too
You didn't understand a thing, did you?😂
I'm sorry but every time I see the video in the background I think of Jim Carrey. Lol
I wish u would react to steel heart song I’ll never let u go. It is a great rock song to react to both great vocals and if u want another one with great vocals it would be journeys when u love a woman
You do know he's threatening to kill somebody right?
Yankee? Insulting
yelling JAMAICA doesn't make you understand the lyrics lol.
This is the time music started to decline with this type of so called music
Everyone is entitled to their opinions even if they are wrong
