  • @drrockkso8882
    @drrockkso8882 Před 4 lety +7283

    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.

    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.

      (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.

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.
