Snow - Informer (Official Music Video) [4K Remaster] 

finally i found this song.......can you imagine the struggle when you don't know a single word of the song and only know how it sound.

I can't wait until the english version comes out!

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.

I love how the music video's director clearly took the "licky bum bum down" line literally

This is the final boss for people who are learning English lol.

I'm 40 and I tell you when I first heard this song as a kid it was the coolest sounding thing ever. Still slaps to this day.

Snow never informed, true story. If you know, you know. Straight G.

if you thing about it people would laugh at him , but really thing about he has more talent then 80% of singers today

Expectation: A Jamaican gangster Reality: John from accounting

The fact that Daddy Yankee got a hit from making a glorified cover of this theme, just proves how Informer is a timeless classic.

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...

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!

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.

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.

This is the song, what wasn’t recommended. Let’s be honest. We found it. And this is brilliant

He makes it seam 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.

Drake: "I'm Canada's best rapper" Snow: "Hold my cocaine"

“What’s the password?” “It’s on the back of the router.” Back of the router:

This song is absolute fire. Snow is just fire in general. Love his new records too. Absolute beast

I believe this is the only guy who can stand toe to toe with eminem respectfully

Can't wait for the English version

Girl: Why don't you understand my signals? The signals:

I don't care what anyone says, I love this song!

watched this at 50% speed to process all the hot fire he's spitting at us mortals. Now I just need to learn patois and this song will finally make sense to me.

when snow said "disjfhsdiufhsfhsdfudsfsdf" i felt that

Whoever can decipher the lyrics is a genius, this is one of those songs that is timeless and never gets old

Still vibing to this in 2024

He isnt even Jamaican, he learned to speak Patois while hanging out with Jamaican people and listening to Raggae music

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.

When you studied a foreign language by a textbook for a whole year and finally met a native speaker.

They should've cast Snow as Bob Marley in that biopic.

Anyone in 2024 ?

Dude actually grew up in a Jamaican community, they even encouraged him to persue his dream of being a reggae artist

I'm an old man of 73 but I still love this. It's "dope", is that the right word?

It was 1994 and had a cassette of this song ❤

I'm absolutly in love of how we mixxed up reggae and rap, banger

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

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.

Still a banger. I remember being a kid hearing this. Just trying to record it off the radio 😂

Canada's greatest achievement.

I don’t care what anyone says, this song still goes hard.

I love that Daddy Yankee brought this back and had Snow sing and appear in the video. Shows he has respect for the classics.

Wow! Bringz back memoriez! It's been 40 yrs still don't understand a word he's spitting....Lol😲 Though still the mover of bases!☝

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

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!

Snow and Sean Paul should do a collab and our minds would go crazy like literally crazy trying to understand what they're saying. 😆🤣

This is not what all Canadians sound like. He's actually been in prison so more than most American rappers claim

I can still hear my dad yelling down the hall “ if I hear a licky moo moo cow one more time “” 😂😂 oh the good old days

All jokes aside,, this song is dope .

I remember this track was number one for weeks in 1993

Anyone listening in 2024?? 🧡 This was a huge hit in Budapest/Hungary back in the day, lol!

Early 90's was the best time to be growing up in my opinion. So glad I was part of that generation who are now 40 plus years old. Great times

Gonna try to learn this during the quarantine. Try.

The thumbnail gets me every time. 😂

Snow is more gangsta than drake and he rlly b white like dat

the lyrics:Informer You know say daddy me snow me I'll go blame A licky boom boom down Detective man said daddy snow I stabbed someone down the lane A licky boom boom down Informer You know say daddy me snow me I'll go blame A licky boom boom down Detective man said daddy snow I stabbed someone down the lane A licky boom boom down Police-a them-a they come and-a they blow down me door Break in an' crawl through, through my window So they put me in the back the car at the station From that point on I reach my destination Well the destination reached in down-a East detention Where they whip down me pants look up me bottom So Informer You know say daddy me snow me I'll go blame A licky boom boom down Detective man said daddy snow I stabbed someone down the lane A licky boom boom down Informer You know say daddy me snow me I'll go blame A licky boom boom down Detective man said daddy snow I stabbed someone down the lane A licky boom boom down So Bigger they are they think they have more power There on the phone me say that on every hour Me for want to use it once and-a me call me lover Lover who me callin'-a the one Tammy And me love her in my heart down to my belly-a Yes say Daddy Me Snow me I feel cool and deadly Yes the one MC Shan and the one Daddy Snow Together we-a love 'em as a tornado Informer You know say daddy me snow me I'll go blame A licky boom boom down Detective man said daddy snow I stabbed someone down the lane A licky boom boom down Informer You know say daddy me snow me I'll go blame A licky boom boom down Detective man said daddy snow I stabbed someone down the lane A licky boom boom down So Listen for me, ya better listen for me now Listen for me, ya better listen for me now When-a me rock-a the microphone, me rock on steady-a Yes-a Daddy Me Snow me are the article don But when i'm-a at a dance an they say, "Where ya come from?"

If you weren’t from this time I can’t explain how absolutely hot this track was back in the day 💯

Thanks to Daddy Yankee for the Remaking. Otherwise i would have never know this masterpiece ❤

Snow is like 50 times the actual gangsta that Eminem is, yet he gets mocked.

*Most important American Informers:* 1992 - Snow 2013 - Snowden

“The WiFi password is on the back of the router” The back of the router:

Heard this when I was 12 and after a while got hooked on it. 32 years later I'm still hooked on it and I don't think that will stop anytime soon.

From interviews and what I heard SNOW was actually a bad ass!

His singing sounds like a doctor's handwriting.

Almost 30 years... and still slamming!

I thought as I got older, I would have figured out the lyrics by now through some magic form of growing up. Turns out, I will never figure out anything from this.

Canadian Jamaican with a hard edge. Now that is the way

A Canadian white, Jamaican rapper. Lol never gets old

Bout 35 yrs now.. This is the first english song i heard as a kid back in 93 or 94 and was instantly a fan.. Such a precious childhood memory

US Billboard Hot 100 #1 - 7 wks (Mar 13, 1993) | the Best Music Video!

Rappers eminem was too afraid to diss. 1. Snow

This guy broke music barriers like no other.

I remember when this was playing everyfuckinwhere in the 90s. Im a metalhead, the 90s was hands down the best decade of music.

Jim Carrey did a hilarious parody on In Living Color.

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.

Big masterpiece actually. We will never forget this gem.

He’s doing Ok ✅ In 2024 🔥

He's speaking the language of the Gods.

Me: Yo dude, what's your Wi-Fi password? My friend: It's on the back of the router The back of the router:

Product of a jamaican nanny

Finally found it

30 years later, this is a timeless classic from the early 90's 🙌🇧🇷

@Rhino bro you must have made a fortune by uploading a 30 year old song 4 years ago and getting 48 Million views. I salute you! 😂😎

This is lagend!... 90's

Expectation: Lost son of Bob Marley Reality: Harry Potter using magic for rapping at 32 years old

I thought Sean Pauls english is complicated, but Snows english is on another level.

Real one. ❤😊

Banger. Can't wait for the English version!

"The listening portion of the exam is simple, don't worry!" The listening portion of the exam:

This song: exists Daddy yankee: *HHMMMMM*

Happily found this/ Have the 12" single. Maxi Cassette and CD! Who says being high is ... words.... Damn...58 years old...Still Feeling the Yougstah!

My wife thought till this day that he was saying "I'm a farmer". Have to laugh so hard every time I hear this song 😅

Such relatable lyrics. No wonder this was a hit.

Awesome from generation x

I can perhaps guess the lyrics: goes like this Informer.....plsreadthetermsandconditionsbeforesigningthedocument... and so on..

This would fit perfectly in GTA San Andreas on Playback FM.
