As a Jamaican Canadian living in Toronto and was around and into dance hall when this song came out, I can't emphasize how big this tune was when it came out! Snow was just an around the way guy and he was like most white people in the 90s who has Jamaican friends and just appreciated the culture. So fun to watch these reactions 30 years later and the memories but seriously when this song came out, if you had ears you were hearing it no less than twice a day 7 days a week🤣

Eminem or beastie boys or RA or Brother Ali are different, when you look like an outsider to any scene roots you've to embrace the culture not just cash a hit record and outsell legends with a gimmick and then disappear from the scene because you're not really part of it.

The song is based on a separate 1989 incident when Snow was charged with two counts of attempted murder. At the time, he was detained for a year in Toronto before the charges were reduced to aggravated assault, and he was eventually acquitted and freed. In a 1999 interview, he referred to his criminal history as "a couple of bar fights." In 2019, Puerto Rican singer, songwriter and rapper Daddy Yankee released a reimagination of "Informer" as "Con Calma" together with Snow, who recorded new parts. The Spanish-language remake topped the charts of 20 countries and reached the top 10 of 10 others.

@Patrick-857 Жыл бұрын

@Billy Bob The attempted murder was his friend, they were jumped by a large group. Snow was no snitch so he did 12 months awaiting trial, and it took his friend getting in the witness box to beat the charge. Then he did this record and went back and copped another 12 months for assault and battery. He came from a serious crime family and grew up "boosting". He's got a pretty impressive rap sheet, but music got him out of it. So he's not a fake by any means.

@DarkVeghetta Жыл бұрын

@@Patrick-857 He even got himself banned from the US and Japan... for life. I'm not even sure what for (probably fighting - he did a lot of that back then), but Snow's legit af - he ain't posing. Seems like a fun and humble guy as well, if quite bad with alcohol and the law - he did an interview on VladTV 10 months ago; was really good.

@Patrick-857 Жыл бұрын

@DarkVeghetta Yeah I saw the interview 2 days ago. He's led a very interesting life, and he's definitely authentic and down to earth. One thing I find really interesting is the Jamaicans accepted him while people in the US think he's another white guy "stealing" a black artform. Goes to show the differences in attitude. Jamaicans think anyone who wants to participate in their music is welcome and they like people being a part of it, as long as they pay their respects to the greats, which of course Snow has always done. He's kind of ashamed that one song sold more than anything Bob Marley did, because obviously he's no Bob Marley. It's a funny world now. Art and culture have always been something that spreads and influences people from other cultures. It's not stealing to be so appreciative of the art from another culture that you incorporate it into your own cultural tapestry. It just means the art was good enough to cross cultural divides. BB King got his first standing ovation from an all white audience. These guys all suddenly went from very underground club musicians to household names because of rock n roll, and almost all the white guys doing rock n roll name dropped the old guard bluesmen they took influence from. They gave back to the artform and they grew it. In my view everyone benefitted, although sadly some never lived to see what their art had become. The idea that only certain races can do certain artforms is itself extremely racist. As long as you do it with respect and authenticity, you can be a part of it.

Notice how they never mocked any black rappers in that era where everyone was trying to cultivate a "street" image? He idea that was unique to white rapper is laughable. The gangsta rap era is fortunately relegated to history, but it was ridiculous to be in the middle of it when it was the "thing," and the gatekeeping was just a small part of the ridiculousness.

I’m glad they got rid of that bad idea! As far as “Black rappers”, you don’t remember the sketches of MC Hammer, Salt n Pepa, Sir Mix-a-Lot, LL Cool J (just to name a few)? Were you even a fan of the show or are you just here to bash it lol...or be negative on this thread maybe 🤷🏾‍♀️ And I know you weren’t trying to play the “token white guy” card after ALL THE YEARS of playing “token black ppl” on everything!!

You know a lot of people fail to realize that when you grow up in a different country, you tend to pick up and speak like locals do. People will call it appropriation, but it has nothing to do with it and that's one of the reasons why I hate when people bitch about cultural appropriation. Especially in a multi-diverse country like U.S. To me, the U.S. is one country made up of different cultures that have now become one. You can not be united as one country if you continue to not accept all its cultural aspects as one.

@TrueSkeptic77 3 жыл бұрын

Appropriation is just retarded from the start, should all white people be angry with using typical white clotches, hairstyles or what have you, or Japaneese angry at every one intrerrested in their culture or me as a swede, I would be offended every day over some one watched vikings and now think they are a actual viking.

Controversial but yeah, I get where you're coming from. When I see 'reaction' videos being surprised that singers are white or black, I'm like - why? what does colour have to do with good music?! This tune was amazing, I had no idea what the guy was singing but it was so good. The who/why/where is just window dressing. The song was / is good! Cultural appropriation is another discussion, but good music is good music.

Welcome to the 90s music scene! We were absolutely the MOST diverse group. If you were an older teen or college aged from like 1990- 1995 you know what I mean. For a brief moment in time it seems like there was just nothing that mattered to us- we just let go and followed our paths and they always crossed other diverse groups in the most positive of ways. If you lived it, you feel it and know what Im saying. It was an energy!😊

the had the lyrics for all his songs on 12 inches of Snow in the liner notes. and this 12-13 year old learned real quick not only the lyrics, but what they meant. for example, licky boom boom down.......that is an ass whooping. licks - blows, shots, strikes, punches, kicks, etc. boom boom - obviously ass, butt, whatever. Informer is a fun track to dance to of course, nostagia. But he is telling his tale in that joint. Much respect to the legend, Snow. The fact that to this day, he still gets plenty of love and respect from Toronto to Jamaica and every Caribbean festival in between, should tell you plenty.
