Not exactly, because outside of him how many white reggae rappers have you seen since him and how many is the world turning out right now? There is always at least one or more white person who latches on to the music culture of a group and becomes known within it, but that doesn't always translate to cred as being totally style legit. White people within groups be it the one white guy who can dunk on all the Black guys playing at a street court, to this white guy who can reggae rap are anomalies that don't disprove the overall stereotype which reveals a rather true lack of inclusion picture. Don't pretend that minority race communities and their music cultures don't have many who treat an emerging white boy talent as token pet poser trying to style and profile within "their" racial community art form. btw.. Snow ended up no lifetime career superstar within the genre from this one catchy song.

@@five5x WTF! Dude gotta be a Yankee to be so cranky

@@maxpeck7382 Eminem is the rap God though.

@@cherylbohlender7341 I assumed he was a degenerate confederate.

Actually he grew up in Scarborough/North York a borough just north of Toronto. Neighborhood was an area just south of Fairview Mall. Allendale. When he’s rhyming about east detention it’s a local jail located at Birchmount Rd. & Eglinton Ave. in which he had been incarcerated.

@@johnreilly5600 Okay

@@mikelucas3072 there's nothing that will get Torontonians more riled up than talking about the pre-amalgamation cities

thanks bro. great info.

He grew up in a multicultural and very diverse community

We are creatures of community, not race.

@@georgehenry76 Indeed we are. Though it's always more complex than that alone, community does tend to define us more than race.

@@Avrysatos true true.. stay safe out there!

It's also an example of why multiculturalism works and is awesome. It scares a lot of white Americans, but here in Canada, I love it. A short 3 or 4 minute drive and I'm within striking distance of almost any cuisine on earth - and I'm not talking Taco Bell. I mean authentic food. I grew up a South Asian community as a white guy and I can't go too long without a vindaloo, pakoras, biryani or butter chicken. I knew people like Ms Marvel in high school. Full of personality. Must be the amazing food that actually has flavour.

@@christhornycroft3686 food with spices and flavor... so wonderful.

Yep, true story! He was in prison for attempted murder charges when he saw his video on TV for the first time. His inability to travel outside Canada-and therefore his inability to tour much- was a big hindrance for him.

Damn is he I didn't know that, I did know that he was the cousin of bubbles from the trailer park boys

Yep, and grew up around Jamaicans!

Yep. Shabba, Shaggy and Snow were always playing in the clubs and we danced our butts off. But I can guarantee, not one of us had any idea he was a white Canadian. lol

SHABBA!!!

@@rowanmayfair9249 lol.

Thanks for typing that in! I don't think he's saying 'in the ghetto' (tho that works 😎). He's from a Jamaican community in Toronto called Ekitakobe or something like that. ?

Everyone was trying to figure out why he was saying.🤣

Vancouver is close.

@JD YUP! NEVER ended up getting paid for it neither. He went on to influence so many in the future. So proud to say that he was one of us out here and then I got to grow up listen to his music! #BrooklynBorn #LongIslandRaised

Take off that stupid mask.

Congratulations

🤣😂😅

that was funny

Thats a classic was big here in UK.

He's a teacher and every so often his students figure out who he is. He also revisited this song not too long ago
