I think that is really cool, but sad for snow if it was the other side of 2000 he would have been shot..I'm glad his big mouth didn't get him killed when I was a kid..
Guys the 90's were crazy!!! We had so many different textures and sounds when it came to rappers and voices. I miss this kind of diversity in music lately.
I think rap and music in general is more diverse than ever, you just gotta be willing to find it. Ski Mask the Slump God, J.I.D, JPEGMAFIA, Zillakami, Trippie Redd. None of these rappers sound alike. I could go on and on.
Thats a true story. Hes been busted a few times. He also did 2 yrs in prison. He aquited for attempted murder on another case. When the video actually dropped and wad aired on TV, he was in jail. That's a true story. He didnt see the finished video until when he was in jail and it came on the tv in there. @@HolyShnikeez_1975
@@dannonyogurt98grew up in the projects with Jamaicans, they encouraged him To make music like this. He was facing an attempted murder when this dropped talking about “informers”, that’s how it’s not an act. He was in jail pending serious charges, when a song dropped about informers…. There’s white g’s too
@@dannonyogurt98 all you white saviour wannabes come in and defend any race and commending them from mixing and combining cultures. Yet when whites grow up around and influenced by what they become and its primarily associated with other races cultures you become pure vile hate filled vultures ready to pick apart dismiss them and call them a racist. So what's the difference? 100% guarentee they adore him and his music. Learn to live in love for once and become a human being
Dude was casually roller skating down the street earlier today with this song bumping on the speaker hanging off his shoulder. Pure vibes. Listened to it like 10 times since.
There are tons of White Jamaicans. That's like saying even though Drake is Jewish and Black, Canadians still love Drake 🤣. Jamaicans come in every race, just like Canadians. I mean look at Tesanne Chin, winner of the "The Voice" - she is Chinese Jamaican and was a national hero when she won that. Jamaicans claim her as one of their own, race has nothing to do with it. People get ethnicity and nationality mixed up so much. Nationality has nothing to do with your race.
The 90s were a crazy time. Middle class blacks, with intact families, belting out Gangsta Rap. White guys from the projects rapping in Jamaican slang. Indian dude from the Carribean calling himself Apache. An Austrian who couldn't really speak English was the biggest star in Hollywood. A black dude was the best golfer in the world. I miss the 90s
People call Snow a poser but he grew up in a Toronto housing project where most all of the other residents were Jamaican immigrants who organically influenced his cultural upbringing. He was surrounded by Jamaican people, music, slang, and accents growing up. And he also spent time in prison early in his career. The stuff he raps about isn't bullshit, it really happened. Snow may be a white, nerdy-looking Canadian dude but his music genuinely reflects his actual life experience. It's ironic because some of the black icons of 90s gangsta rap like Ice Cube and Puff Daddy actually grew up in middle class families, attended mostly-white suburban private high schools, went to college, and weren't involved in crime or gangs. Snow has way more legit street cred than those guys do but he's forever stuck with the "poser" label simply because he's white and Canadian.
I was in Jamaica a couple of years ago. They love him there. One of my favorite artists. Even back then. You got always a strange look when you say you are a fan.
You dont just learn to speak jamaican out of nowhere, I think it's one of the most fascinating things to listen to, I used to listen to jamaicans talk in prison and get so lost in them talking lol
He makes it seem so easy to perform this kind of songs, but I hardly can follow the lyrics right in front of me. Now all these decades later, you really appreciate what you took for granted back then.
Daddy Yankee did a Spanish version of this song featuring Snow back in 2019, it was a big hit. The video is pretty cool. Katy Perry also covered the song. And back in the 90s "In Living Color" spoofed the song in a hilarious skit with Jim Carrey.

This is a classic. I grew up in Mumbai, India. We were in high school when this came out and was all the rage. I learnt the rap bit and was good at it. When I broke that out at parties, I got all the attention from the girls! :))
@@ani_n01 lol yeah I can. I got the chorus just be listening and being aware of Jamaican patios. Then just get on Google, once you've read the lyrics once whilst listening it's easy. It's basically a story of someone informing the police that snow stabbed someone. So he is threatening to hurt/kill the informer. Lick his bumbum down.

I'm glad it came out when it did. I think the soft minded fools of today would scream cultural appropriation. Such a good tune, also what an album name 12 Inches of snow. Pure genius. Weather report, the size of his vinyl record and erm... Well.
Hey you... don't laugh, not just anyone can speak english like Motherlanguich. Try to learn French or German in Europe, they are at home and show you who's the loser.
Spend a second researching this guy. His upbringing and background in music is legit. No one made him like a boy band. He actually worked pretty hard to achieve what he has.
there are idiots in this world who think people need to get permission from them to make music or grow up in or grow to love a certain culture... the question whether he was legit was itself never legit to begin with.
Vanilla Ice killed the chance Snow had to completely cross over in here the States. Plus Darien was on probation on a Weapon’s charge in Toronto. It’s a damn shame really. Snow had TONS of Street Cred while Vanilla Ice had NONE.
In 1994 he came to Rome to do a show. I was only 14 years old and I didn't know him and his work. At that time I was working in a CD store and I used to go there after classes. He walked in with two other guys and asked to see his own CD. When I handed it over, I realized it was his face on the cover. He laughed, bought the CD and gave it to me!
Some fun facts for the younglings here: Snow,grew up in a housing project in Toronto/Canada and used to hang out with a Jamaican crew,who tought him to speak padois and gave him the nickname "Snow White" that later became "Snow". The guy was a proper gangsta,he was actually in jail,for attempted murder,when the song was first released and became a local hit in Canada. After he got out,the song went huge in the charts it was practically everywhere back in 1993,there´s even a parody by Jim Carrey from "In Living Color". He could never repeat the success of "Informer" but is still performing as a MC and DJ and he also does lots of charity work in his old hood.
He looks like that one friend that always download some games, had all the cracks and fixes for your computer and basically was a older nerd that used to talk more with your older brother and then you hearing he is in jail for attempting murder and rolling with thugs xD
At the age of 43 finally this song makes 5% more sense than it did when I was 14. Edit: Thank you for all the likes and comments, I'm apperaciatevice that I'm not alone, we are in this together Gen X, much love.

@@mcgavinclapping9490 Since when is reggae something you can "steal"? If we're talking about the song, snow didn't steal it from anybody, it's an original song.

he was confused for the police with an informer because his skin color he say he grown in the getto with black people for that he say he isnt an informer.. at least i understand that.. (sorry if my english is not good enough.. im spanish speaker..)
Music is amazing. I hear this song and it's 1993 all over again. 22 years old, recently arrived in Japan, nothing on the agenda other than making a few yen and going out at night. Pretty sure I met my wife with this thumping in the background. 30 years, 3 kids later and I can still feel it all like yesterday.
I got to Japan in 1991. Was there for 8 years the first time. All these years and a couple of kids later. Such a good time. The music around the clubs at the time is still some of the best.

My first ever solo CD and the most insane masterpiece ever. It really is INSANE lol. Let's write a song and make it almost impossible to understand but not completely impossible.
(From memory. MTV put the lyrics up back in '93 or so) _Informer, you know say daddy me Snow me_ _I go blam._ _A licky boom-down._ _'Tective man he say say daddy me Snow stab._ _Someone down the lane._ _A licky boom-boom down._ Moving lyrics indeed. Up there with Simon & Garfunkel.
@@lewis72 "from memory" ...right😂 its not much work to type in snow informer lyrics. For u to memorise tht for over 20 yrs is very unlikely cause most of the sentences make no sense in real patwah (jamaican english dialect) he just adds some unnecesary "me's" , distorts the sentence structure and calls it jamaican.
@@FlashxSounds 😆 Are you now telling me what I do and don't know ! It's not as though I haven't heard that track in 20 years and it didn't just come back to me hearing it just then. I don't even know if what I typed matches what the internet gives.
I was living in a hostel in mid 90s and my friend had this album and we used to play it end to end at the highest volume. I miss those crazy times. 90s forever...

Funny thing is I know all the words and I'm not Jamaican or anything I'm from California. Back in the 90s they used to have a version of this video that ran captions at the bottom. I studied that version until I could understand everything he's saying lol
I can understand because my dad is from the Caribbean Jamaica, I've been there four times and I can speak patois which is Jamaican language, its like broken English and my mum is British and can speak it too I was born here in the UK!!
@@irishcountrygirl78 I guess been from the Caribbean I always heard: "Informer, You know say that a me a Snow, ah go Blame, I lick ya boom boom down." Basically somebody snitched and he's gonna get them. Lyrics I read online are wild! 😆 🤣 I'm not so sure though
Fuvk my comment was deleted cause i skipped the ad was sth neurotic bout them old times for me theyll be always 10 years ago afterwards everything went shit crisis and panic and crippling the basic rights no one nowadays it seems is open minded and can take a joke dang these generations after 2000 are complete under control and have an egoist object and worldly outlook only focused on papers called cash. Backthen we hung out with everybody groups of people ages from 12 to 25 all sharing booze. It was mostly pressureless living and really connect with all people today people meet and text while sitting infront of each that lil handy computer that helps them to hide in every situation thats mildly uncomfortable. I hope 2090 will be a reloaded version of the 90's careless party times
@Congolese Capitalist It was meant as a joke/half-sarcasm. I'm not familiar with too many Canadian rappers. I am not fond of Drake, however. Snow might be a one-hit-wonder, but Informer is absolutely fire.

for those that think this is fast English.. He's speaking Jamaican patois.. he grew up in public housing when Jamaicans were coming in. he gained quite a reputation to say the least
@@LimeyLassen the word patois works well for some "dialects" in France. It's kind of an universal definition for the language spoken in each region. For example in the North thei have the CH'TIS, in the East something else, the Bretons etc.
One of the most improbable things is that snow is as legit as they come. He did a lot of time for not rolling on his friends, even was facing life for two murders he didn’t commit but didn’t snitch and was ultimately acquitted. He was also friends with MC Shan who basically created rap music and who produced this track.
This song is a classic! I grew up in the 90s when this was on the radio every day . My 10-year-old daughter has this thing where she likes to ask me to play songs from my childhood because she’s interested in hearing the music that I grew up on. And more often than not she can’t stand the songs that I grew up on but the minute I played this song for her it’s been on her playlist ever since.

I wasn’t necessarily a fan of snow, but I’m from Toronto, born and raised…. And I have mad respect for him. This is how the 90’s were in Toronto. Everyone hung out together and for the most part got along. Those really were the best times!
Take me back to the 90s any fucking day when racism didn't exist because demokkkrats wasn't trying to devide everyone to devide and conquer for a fact .I would live the rest of my life happily in the 90s
@@Koschei_ The funny thing is in a way he kinda STILL about that life because he took the path that most gangsters old enough to retire do- Philanthropy. Man lives in Jamaca and helps build (in terms of money and physical labor) houses with modern infrastructrure, especially in regions that often get hit by hurricanes, now. He's basically beloved in the community because they already fucked with him heavy and now he's paying it forward.
My husband and I danced to this in Malta on honeymoon in 1993. Brilliant holiday. Still married beautiful daughter and celebrating our 30th anniversary next yr
Snow is one of those cases you don't judge something by the cover, he wrote this when he was in prison after someone snitched on him, because he participated in a knife fight, after he got out, some time later he returned to prison, because he assaulted someone with a bat.

That's exactly how we non-English speakers feel everytime we hear a song in Emglish but can't look it up simply because we don't know the words.
I think that is really cool, but sad for snow if it was the other side of 2000 he would have been shot..I'm glad his big mouth didn't get him killed when I was a kid..
I can't wait until the english version comes out!

Guys the 90's were crazy!!! We had so many different textures and sounds when it came to rappers and voices. I miss this kind of diversity in music lately.
I think rap and music in general is more diverse than ever, you just gotta be willing to find it. Ski Mask the Slump God, J.I.D, JPEGMAFIA, Zillakami, Trippie Redd. None of these rappers sound alike. I could go on and on.
I'm 43 and so happy I grew up in the 90 s. We had rap rock grunge cars were still cheap. Trucks were tuff.

Everything pretty much was better in the 90's.
It’s out there just gotta find it ! 💯🏆👏🏽

Thats a true story. Hes been busted a few times. He also did 2 yrs in prison. He aquited for attempted murder on another case. When the video actually dropped and wad aired on TV, he was in jail.

There are tons of White Jamaicans. That's like saying even though Drake is Jewish and Black, Canadians still love Drake 🤣. Jamaicans come in every race, just like Canadians. I mean look at Tesanne Chin, winner of the "The Voice" - she is Chinese Jamaican and was a national hero when she won that. Jamaicans claim her as one of their own, race has nothing to do with it. People get ethnicity and nationality mixed up so much. Nationality has nothing to do with your race.
I don't see why race plays a role in Jamaica. I honestly met. Chinese Jamaicans
Because bro was spitting straight 🔥
This man's flow was sicker than most rappers today 😎
I don’t think I’ve heard much in awhile that’s as catchy and got some technique.

There was a hip hop group from New York called Young Black Teenagers. They were young, but not black. The 90s were definitely a weird time.
The fact that Daddy Yankee got a hit from making a glorified cover of this theme, just proves how Informer is a timeless classic.
right
Daddy yankee its garbage
And now that version is plain dead and probably this will still trascend another 30 years.
thats right, for the record, Snow's participated in Daddy Yankee last version song, which achieved great success

People call Snow a poser but he grew up in a Toronto housing project where most all of the other residents were Jamaican immigrants who organically influenced his cultural upbringing. He was surrounded by Jamaican people, music, slang, and accents growing up. And he also spent time in prison early in his career. The stuff he raps about isn't bullshit, it really happened. Snow may be a white, nerdy-looking Canadian dude but his music genuinely reflects his actual life experience.
It's ironic because some of the black icons of 90s gangsta rap like Ice Cube and Puff Daddy actually grew up in middle class families, attended mostly-white suburban private high schools, went to college, and weren't involved in crime or gangs. Snow has way more legit street cred than those guys do but he's forever stuck with the "poser" label simply because he's white and Canadian.
These are facts. Toronto also has the largest housing project on the planet.
I was in Jamaica a couple of years ago. They love him there.
One of my favorite artists. Even back then. You got always a strange look when you say you are a fan.
You dont just learn to speak jamaican out of nowhere, I think it's one of the most fascinating things to listen to, I used to listen to jamaicans talk in prison and get so lost in them talking lol
I think he was a casualty of Vanilla Ice by proxy. Ice was a fraud, Snow wasn't, but no was about to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Truth Is stranger than fiction. Eminem and Drake prolly softer than Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer when push comes to shove.
Snow was a wicked lyrical genius the speed, the flow and defying the naysayers on his Jamaican flow....no words, bro you did us proud!!❤❤

Daddy Yankee did a Spanish version of this song featuring Snow back in 2019, it was a big hit. The video is pretty cool. Katy Perry also covered the song. And back in the 90s "In Living Color" spoofed the song in a hilarious skit with Jim Carrey.

Or, they know Jamaican lingo...licky boom boom down means to beat or shoot someone. That is what the song is about, putting down an informer.
“I have been accused of stabbing somebody, and now I’m in jail! Whoever told the police that I did this is going to get it, whenever I get out!”

Word!
This comment is genuinely hilarious. Nice one.
The fact that literally no one can understand the lyrics and yet people are still listening to it shows just how good of a song this is
1. It's a legitimate dialect
2. Many of us who don't speak that dialect are aware of it from the media
So yeah, many people can understand him
@@ani_n01 lol yeah I can. I got the chorus just be listening and being aware of Jamaican patios. Then just get on Google, once you've read the lyrics once whilst listening it's easy. It's basically a story of someone informing the police that snow stabbed someone. So he is threatening to hurt/kill the informer. Lick his bumbum down.
@@ani_n01 It's a legit dialect, sure, but he is spitting those words out fast.
@@ani_n01 from where?
@TheAllSeeing8Ball it's in patios, from Jamaica
He speaks the way doctors write
If you weren’t from this time I can’t explain how absolutely hot this track was back in the day 💯

How about Mc Shan.... Is wack 😴
This so was crazy popular when I was in grade 6
Dude actually grew up in a Jamaican community, they even encouraged him to persue his dream of being a reggae artist
That is very cool! I still like this song!

That's no reason to stop trying.

Big masterpiece actually. We will never forget this gem.
It really is. This and Jump Around by House Of Pain.
I'm glad it came out when it did. I think the soft minded fools of today would scream cultural appropriation. Such a good tune, also what an album name 12 Inches of snow.
Pure genius. Weather report, the size of his vinyl record and erm... Well.
back when memes werent called memes yet
Song is a banger but snow is underrated everyone appreciate informer but ignore his other songs
2021 Mar 13 - still rocking to this round da house
The way he says informer sounds like the italian word "INFAME" which also means snitch, it makes it even funnier
Masterpiece, so much nostalgia, 90s was truly a golden era
It certainly delivers the nostalgia punch. "Masterpiece" is a stretch, though. Snow is no Scatman John.
Best era
We had THE BEST damn music!!! 😎 These kids just don't know ...
Thanks God I grew up in the 90's. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Spend a second researching this guy. His upbringing and background in music is legit. No one made him like a boy band. He actually worked pretty hard to achieve what he has.
Had 😔
Went to jail before he could ride the hype train I heard.
there are idiots in this world who think people need to get permission from them to make music or grow up in or grow to love a certain culture... the question whether he was legit was itself never legit to begin with.
Vanilla Ice killed the chance Snow had to completely cross over in here the States. Plus Darien was on probation on a Weapon’s charge in Toronto.
It’s a damn shame really. Snow had TONS of Street Cred while Vanilla Ice had NONE.
@@Tornado1994 well EUROPE embraced him, open arms, but then he disappeared.
I love how the music video's director clearly took the "licky bum bum down" line literally
E.t.
You would
Yeah, it's supposed to mean, "I'll kick your ass for ratting on me," lol, but Mr. Music Video took it in an entirely sexual direction.
Lick means to hit someone
I'll LICK U! BOOM!! BOOM down.
This is the song, what wasn’t recommended. Let’s be honest. We found it.
And this is brilliant
No, I don't think so. You know or you don't. Simple as that.

Heard it as a "In Living Color" parody and wanted to see the source. Confused as all hell, but not disappointed. 😅
Lmmfao!!! Born in the 80s raised in the 90s. I got popped for saying "licky boom boom down"😂🤣
In 1994 he came to Rome to do a show. I was only 14 years old and I didn't know him and his work. At that time I was working in a CD store and I used to go there after classes. He walked in with two other guys and asked to see his own CD. When I handed it over, I realized it was his face on the cover. He laughed, bought the CD and gave it to me!
Good story
Amazing story😊

That's a pretty awesome flex.
Bet you don't still have it
Some fun facts for the younglings here:
Snow,grew up in a housing project in Toronto/Canada and used to hang out with a Jamaican crew,who tought him to speak padois and gave him the nickname "Snow White" that later became "Snow".
The guy was a proper gangsta,he was actually in jail,for attempted murder,when the song was first released and became a local hit in Canada.
After he got out,the song went huge in the charts it was practically everywhere back in 1993,there´s even a parody by Jim Carrey from "In Living Color".
He could never repeat the success of "Informer" but is still performing as a MC and DJ and he also does lots of charity work in his old hood.
He looks like that one friend that always download some games, had all the cracks and fixes for your computer and basically was a older nerd that used to talk more with your older brother and then you hearing he is in jail for attempting murder and rolling with thugs xD
Yeah, and he got respect with the mandem in Jamaica too
Jamaicans never forget 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Nice
fun fact: he was born and raised in North York, where I currently live
At the age of 43 finally this song makes 5% more sense than it did when I was 14.
Edit:
Thank you for all the likes and comments, I'm apperaciatevice that I'm not alone, we are in this together Gen X, much love.

Amazing!!
Music is amazing. I hear this song and it's 1993 all over again. 22 years old, recently arrived in Japan, nothing on the agenda other than making a few yen and going out at night. Pretty sure I met my wife with this thumping in the background. 30 years, 3 kids later and I can still feel it all like yesterday.
I got to Japan in 1991. Was there for 8 years the first time. All these years and a couple of kids later. Such a good time. The music around the clubs at the time is still some of the best.

I know the real lyrics now 😄
Its honestly impressive how fast he can rap, that's a significant word count for a 4 minute song
My first ever solo CD and the most insane masterpiece ever. It really is INSANE lol. Let's write a song and make it almost impossible to understand but not completely impossible.
This song was stuck in my head for 20 years until I finally found it here on TH-cam and it almost feels like I have attained salvation
That is a very high respect to God😊😊😊

He did prison for sure.

@@lewis72 "from memory" ...right😂 its not much work to type in snow informer lyrics. For u to memorise tht for over 20 yrs is very unlikely cause most of the sentences make no sense in real patwah (jamaican english dialect) he just adds some unnecesary "me's" , distorts the sentence structure and calls it jamaican.

Are you now telling me what I do and don't know !

Vanilla Thunder brought me here and even though I don't understand a word, I licky boom-boom down!
I was living in a hostel in mid 90s and my friend had this album and we used to play it end to end at the highest volume. I miss those crazy times. 90s forever...

Shame on me I've heard only Daddy Yankee's version and never knew that it was just a remake. This Irish singer is a great one! 😎
There’s a handful of songs that are seriously the 90’s and this is one of them. Can’t understand a word but still a classic hit
I remember this song rocking our summer sometimes in the early 90s...we were in high school...
Jamaican patois & added syllables.
Funny thing is I know all the words and I'm not Jamaican or anything I'm from California. Back in the 90s they used to have a version of this video that ran captions at the bottom. I studied that version until I could understand everything he's saying lol
...."pull down me pants look up me bottom"...is 1 line I can just about make out 🤣
@@paulgarner3507 😂😂😂
This jam is still fire 🔥 after a few decades, takes me right back to the early 90's!
Jam, de Jamelgo.
This song spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 back in 1992
And we couldn't google the lyrics back then.
I loved the track so much when i was a child and i still do
My dad just showed me this song it’s so weird how a song can be stuck in your head without understanding a single word😂 it’s great
Exact same my dads got a good taste in music
When we were teens we would sing "l licky boom boom down" lol 😆 🤣 😄. We loved the tune, he was ruling the charts in Ireland in the 90's...
I can understand because my dad is from the Caribbean Jamaica, I've been there four times and I can speak patois which is Jamaican language, its like broken English and my mum is British and can speak it too I was born here in the UK!!
Oo ok i'm very happy for You
@@irishcountrygirl78 I guess been from the Caribbean I always heard: "Informer, You know say that a me a Snow, ah go Blame, I lick ya boom boom down." Basically somebody snitched and he's gonna get them. Lyrics I read online are wild! 😆 🤣 I'm not so sure though
30 years later, this is a timeless classic from the early 90's 🙌🇧🇷
Fuvk my comment was deleted cause i skipped the ad was sth neurotic bout them old times for me theyll be always 10 years ago afterwards everything went shit crisis and panic and crippling the basic rights no one nowadays it seems is open minded and can take a joke dang these generations after 2000 are complete under control and have an egoist object and worldly outlook only focused on papers called cash. Backthen we hung out with everybody groups of people ages from 12 to 25 all sharing booze. It was mostly pressureless living and really connect with all people today people meet and text while sitting infront of each that lil handy computer that helps them to hide in every situation thats mildly uncomfortable.
I hope 2090 will be a reloaded version of the 90's careless party times

Thank you for the lyrics
Would you be willing to do a Patois version of these lyrics?
for those that think this is fast English.. He's speaking Jamaican patois.. he grew up in public housing when Jamaicans were coming in. he gained quite a reputation to say the least
Never knew that wow
It makes sense cause Patois is partly Irish.
In Canada!
People just rolled with that “fast English” joke and only know him for this song and nothing else
@@LimeyLassen the word patois works well for some "dialects" in France. It's kind of an universal definition for the language spoken in each region. For example in the North thei have the CH'TIS, in the East something else, the Bretons etc.
One of the most improbable things is that snow is as legit as they come. He did a lot of time for not rolling on his friends, even was facing life for two murders he didn’t commit but didn’t snitch and was ultimately acquitted. He was also friends with MC Shan who basically created rap music and who produced this track.
This song is a classic! I grew up in the 90s when this was on the radio every day . My 10-year-old daughter has this thing where she likes to ask me to play songs from my childhood because she’s interested in hearing the music that I grew up on. And more often than not she can’t stand the songs that I grew up on but the minute I played this song for her it’s been on her playlist ever since.

I wasn’t necessarily a fan of snow, but I’m from Toronto, born and raised…. And I have mad respect for him. This is how the 90’s were in Toronto. Everyone hung out together and for the most part got along. Those really were the best times!
Same, just south in Wisconsin.

The same in CR🇨🇷
It was a natural sense at the 90s.

He's basically beloved in the community because they already fucked with him heavy and now he's paying it forward.
Damn apparently this song is about 2 murder attempts he did time for, and refused to snitch on his mates.

he sounds like he dipped his tongue in cocaine

Sounds like New Yorkian slang but without the words being seperated
Jamaican dialect is terrible and horrible...
"English"...heh

One of the catchiest tracks ever written! Also he gives off the vibe that he’d be everyone’s favourite music teacher in school 😂
yeah just dont snitch on him
He's your fave teacher until he stabs you 😂
Snow is one of those cases you don't judge something by the cover, he wrote this when he was in prison after someone snitched on him, because he participated in a knife fight, after he got out, some time later he returned to prison, because he assaulted someone with a bat.
i'm getting more of a "take a sit over there" vibe from him
no need to snitch if he hasn't done something illegal@@drizzypizzman5849
