I feel like I have wronged this man for all these years. I never realized how humble and real this cat is. I thought he was just a poser who had a couple hits. Great interview. I'm going to give his albums another listen with new perspective now.
You heard and saw him on Anything For You and you considered him a poser ? Really??? What about Hootie And The Blowfish ? Come on man … anyone can sing anything ! Girl I Been Hurt is a big chune ( tune )
@@romankats-kagan3968 Because while anyone can come from Jamaica, I had a hard time thinking this guy who looked like he was in Color Me Badd was a legitimate rapper from Jamaica
You have to give it to him, he shows respect to all the artist that came before him and says he directly got his style from some of these Big Time Legends.
@@demetriusevans4139 yeah but em pays homage even in his shit albums he shouts out x clan probably the most pro black group ever. Its not ems fault his fans are dumb caaaarnts
Best dancehall remix ever...that song had the clubs going crazy from NYC to Miami from Maine to Seattle.. still hits u hard till this day....in my opinion he definitely held his own Bec beenie Man and buju banton ..hell everyone on that track went hard ...
Talk about never judging a book by its cover. I remember being a teenager and informer came out. Dope song for sure, but growing up in Cali listening to 90’s gangsta rap, I thought this dude was just another vanilla ice one hit wonder type rapper, not knowing this guy was crazier than all of NWA. Lol
There’s an interview he did at a Jamaican radio station a few years ago. He talk about his history with the law and one of the jokingly said something like "oh, that’s cause you grew up with Jamaicans" and Snow set him straight immediately, saying "naah. Remember that I’m Irish. If anything, I was the one getting my Jamaican friends in some shit" for some reason, I liked that he did that
Jamaica embraced him. They're the final arbiters of what's reggae and what's not. Not us English, Americans, Arabs etc. The tune Informer is pure foolishness but he's known beyond that in Jamaica. Fair play to him. I always like to see working class man make paper.
@@crocop4life please I know Dancehall way better then you could even begin to imagine. 5 legends in their prime all on one track and snow and kulture held their own too. That’s a legendary tune. You don’t know dancehall.
I'm 40. Most black people I know my age our parents were born in the islands. Even people my age were. Some africans too but mostly west indian/carribean. Immigration in Toronto started in the 70's big time. My generation are the first born here. My kids 2nd. Reggae arguably is just as big here as hip hop. In early hip hop you here reggae music from rappers in New york because they had Immigration in the 80s. If you go back to early hip hop from Toronto it sounds like new York hip hop/rap. Only lake ontario separates the two cities. I heard new york rap before west coast. Shout out Detroit too again not that far.
Liquor causes a lot of problems. I thought casual drinking a few nights a week was too much. But this guy and the Kurupt interview let’s me alcoholism is a real disease.
@@809Mornelle Yeah a lot of 13 year old white girls love him. That's pretty much his whole fan base besides feminine males who carry purses. What a accomplishment.
Informer and Monday morning were good but Anything for you is a classic. Jamaicans have an effect on people that change their lives. Snow being white helped him with sales and crossover because other white folks can relate IMO but that song is still a 90’s classic 🔥🔥🔥
I loved informer .... but anything for you with everyone else on that track was dope asf --- that era saw a lot of talents and smash hits across the board in all genres
The reason that he catches on to different styles and languages so quickly and effortlessly, is that he's not proficient in reading and writing. He makes up for it by having a good ear. His mind is like a recorder, simply because he can't read it or write it.
Great interview. Patt of my childhood. I never knew he really was a gangster type who could actually talk the talk. I always thought he was another Vanilla Ice...squeeky clean.good boy.
and I still blast “Anything for You” til this day! It deh pon heavy rotation when mi deh pon di road! Tun di Freightliner and Volva truck inna one dancehall!!!
This is one of the best interviews you did Snow a real Humble Guy

Listen to his 12 inches of snow record.all the songs are great.. seriously
You heard and saw him on Anything For You and you considered him a poser ? Really???
What about Hootie And The Blowfish ?
Come on man … anyone can sing anything !

Love his respect for the culture!!

He has respect for the art and the culture. Unlike Eminem fans who think lyrical skill began with him.

Great interview. Listening to Snow in a completely different light now.
No matter what era, cd, mp3, or right off my iTunes, “anything for you” will always be on a playlist.
This guy is Uber gifted, what a humble and genuine guy, best interview
Snow is straight up Canadian, listening to this brings me back to my days of living of the 416. Great interview.

He definitely got hurt by Vanilla Ice, but he was dope and he had more of a street rep.

I don't care what anyone says, I'm from Detroit and Snow's album was 🔥🔥🔥
Snow started rapping in Thai ".....yo dude is mad talented..... his first album is pure Dopeness...
Anything Just For You... greatest dancehall collaboration EVER!!!
he could tour today in uk n Europe and would sell out instantly. we need him in the city splash festival line up next year. 🙏🏽 Someone hit him up
Straight up
WE NEED THE YOUTH TO GET BACK INTO THAT ROOTS REGGAE MUSIC 🇬🇳
Dub reggae is where its at the heavier the better. Rest easy Lee 'Scratch' Perry

u must be new 😆
Facts!
He still got the voice!
Im sure somebody gonna reach out to him for hooks!
His Sound Effects And BoomRatttt Are Epic 😀
Snow needs to write a memoir. It would be a best seller
Definitely
It would be about his ages 13-23 then blank for 30 years, then calm calma, then blank for 3 years, then vlad interview.
He can’t read and write well tho
This guy is very very talented. Also multi lingual, amazing.
This guys humility is contagious! Like a zen master 🧘♂️
Snow one of the greatest Dancehall artists of all time this guy a for real
No he's not. Just saying that is a disrespect to all the excellent dancehall artists. But he had a good run. But to call him the greatest is hyperbole
Lol not really.
Okay now that’s not even close to factual 😂
Wtf 😳!!!! am 29 years old and am just now knowing this completely blown away by this info wow 😯 bless up Snow one love big man
Bigger gangster than Drake 💯💯💯
Dude was on degrassi
Who cares about being a gangster look at his life now , look what not being a gangster has gotten Drake lol

heard that last part dancehall turned into fuckry now dancehall stray from the heart beat 💯
Informer and Monday morning were good but Anything for you is a classic. Jamaicans have an effect on people that change their lives. Snow being white helped him with sales and crossover because other white folks can relate IMO but that song is still a 90’s classic 🔥🔥🔥

Great interview. Patt of my childhood. I never knew he really was a gangster type who could actually talk the talk. I always thought he was another Vanilla Ice...squeeky clean.good boy.
Lesson being never judge a book by its cover

Yo Snow you deserve some flowers my G
This Guy's life is entertaining as hell.
Cool dude thanks 😊 😎 👍
Yooo but what did he get kicked out of America & Japan *for* ??
For real! How he just gloss over that 🤦♂️
Often due to having a criminal record. And then the severity of those crimes. Likely kicked out at the border
Criminal record . All it takes
Such a humble dude..
Had no idea he sang that song 🤦🏾♂️
Vlad dj'd for Barrington Levy ? New to me bruv. Much respect tho for reppin our culture. Nd I do enjoy the interviews 🎯
That song was epic... a classic
I remember seeing this guy in ocho Rios in the 90s a real humble guy
One of the classic dancehall tunes was made because Snow was an alcoholic That's crazy
does your dad drink
Girl I’ve been hurt is one my faves too.
Jamaica loves snow
That’s crazy… that’s song 🎶 made after liquor 🍸 🤣🤣
Snow a legend!
Big ups to Snow linkin up wit d other OG culture vulture DJ Vlad
CHET HANKS TAKING NOTES🤣🤣
If you pause at 5:09 and look at his camouflage hat and see the brown in the center it looks like the map of Jamaica 🇯🇲
I here snow it takes me back in time
Jamaica 🇯🇲👑
Vlad had some 🔥reggae mixtapes for real
Vlad you should interview David Rodigan 👌🏼 sound clash legend 🔥🔥
vlad this interview made me realize you need to do an interview with chip-fu
Did Vlad bother to ask why or how did he get kicked out of the states or Japan??
I remember going to a dancehall party and that song came on and they pulled it up 20 times and dudes was shooting in the air
I was 11 lol
