By Snow? What happened to that guy? Did he have any other hits or did he just fall off the face of the earth?

hehe, he released an album last year I think... Man on the Moon I beleive was the title... pissed everyone off as he changed his "style" dramtically from rapper to pseudo-singer to rapper to reggae guy....

Snow
Informer

What's up man hey yo what's up
Yeah what's goin' on here
Sick an' tired of five-oh runnin' up on the block here
You know what I'm sayin'
Yo Snow they came around here lookin' for you the other day
Word word bust it

CHORUS:
Informer you no say daddy me Snow me I'll go blame
A licky boom boom down
Detective mon said daddy me Snow me st@b someone down the lane
A licky Boom Boom Down.

CHORUS.

Police them come an' now they blow down me door
One him come crawl through through my window
So then they put me in the back the car at the station
From that point on me reach my destination
When the destination reached it was the east detention
Where them whipped down me pants looked up me bottom so

CHORUS.

Bigger they are they think they have more power
They're on the phone me say that on (every) hour
Me for want to use it once an' now me call me lover
Lover who I'll be callin is the one Tammy
An' me love her in me heart down to my belly
Yes me daddy me Snow me I feel cool an' deadly
As the one MC Shan an' the one daddy Snow
Together we-a love 'em as a Tor-Na-Do

CHORUS.

Listen for me you better listen for me now (x2)
When me rockin' the microphone me rock it steady
Yes sir daddy me Snow me are the article don
But in the in an' the out of a dance them they say where you come from
People them say you come from Jamaica
But me born an' raised in the ghetto that's the one I want you to know
Pure black people mon that's all I mon know
Yeah me shoes are tear up an' me toes used to show
Where me born in on the one Toronto so

CHORUS.

Come with a nice young lady.
Intelligent yes she's gentle an' irie
Everywhere me go me never left her at all
Yes its daddy Snow me are the roam dance mon
Roam between a dancin' in a in a nation-a
You never know say daddy me Snow me are the Boom Shakata
Me never lay-a down flat in that one cardboard box
Yes say me Daddy me Snow me I'll go reachin' at the top so

CHORUS.

Why would he (x2)

Me sittin' 'round cool with my dibbie dibbie girl
Police knock my door lick up my pal
Rough me up an' I can't do a thing
Pick up my line when my telephone ring
Take me to the station black up my hands
Trail me down 'cuz I'm hangin' with the Snowman
What I'm gonna do I'm backed an' I'm trapped
Slap me in the face an' took all o' my gap
They have no clues an' they wanna get warmer
But Shan won't turn informer

CHORUS.

Ah yes, Snow. The no-talent (other than rapping really fast) from Canada.

Sometimes I think that there is some sort of quota imposed by Canada. The U.S. must admit one crappy act for every good one (e.g. Cowboy Junkies).

Actually, he is well respected by other reggae artists. (FYI)

I think black people have no business to be rapping either.

In '93 on July 1st, Canada day, I went to the UBC Thunder bird stadium to watch a concert. It was with a bunch of Canadian bands, I can't remeber all of them now, but Bare Naked Ladies was the main act. Snow was 2nd to last before them. He came out and basically said that although he had nothing against the rest of the performers, he wished more Canadians would get into the rap scene and stop with all this other crap they were singing. Then he said that he was ashamed to be Canadian 'cause Canadians know nothing about rap music. (Probably not the best thing to say on CANADA DAY). Well he starts singing and someone hucks a cup on stage so he hucks it back hitting someone in the head. During all of this he's been using the F word every other word (It was a family affair). He did'nt even finish his first song...which was Informer... before he was booed off the stage.

Actually the album he released last year had a couple of good songs on it. I like the Plum Song to name one of them. (no I'm not kidding)
