The thing about Snow is that he blew up just after Vanilla Ice had. People thought he was another 'imposter' but he actually was from the street, and, had skill. This man needs respect.
@@djdarq6311 There's a massive difference. As you can clearly see from this video, Snow was embraced by his counterparts as well as the core fans in the genre. Vanilla Ice was not.
Out of all non Jamaican artists to me snow always got the purest love from Jamaica..his Melodie’s were just so natural and A small but interesting fact almost all non Jamaican artists will talk in a patois even in their interviews where snow sang the music with a patois vibe but he never seemed like a try hard In interviews trynna force a patios accent, he’d sprinkle in some for exclamation but never was too phoney about it like all the rest..this dude was so much more than the 1 hit most of the world knows him by..he’s gonna make a comeback mark my words
I have mad respect for this dude, keeps it true to himself and is a true reggae artist who spreads positivity. He has also worked with credible Jamaican reggae and dance hall artists, earning himself his own credibility in Jamaica. Murder Love is my favourite album from him.
cartoonworld1000 i agree bro...more pure reggae based than his other albums,recorded in jamaica and it shows,he always gives a mixture but i love that raw reggae sound
Cartoonworld! I believe he is a sincere white man who loves the culture, if he didn't, I wouldn't like him as a Bumping rapper( bumping means badd,,as in Goood)
Here’s what makes all that your saying fit in that it sounds about white category. The guy made the song and got a pass on it from a label that was not ok with anti cop music and held that standing for awhile even today. But they promoted this song with open arms because some white dude song it. He took on an accent and took it to a level no one truly born with it could without dying. Over night bro got a straight pass and Elvis his career.
People on here like "what a great guy" when he really just went from a guy that assaults people to a guy who threatens people 😂. Dude has charisma but was learning baseline civility through trial and error...
Even though he’s from Canada, he’s been through some shit, and he never claims to be a Jamaican he jus fell in love with Jamaican music I always like Snow. No matter if he was making money, fame or whatever he always stayed humble
Nothing but pure respect for this Irish Legend... Fan of him since 1992 when his first Album was released 12 inches of snow My all time classic from him is Certainly "Hey pretty love"..... He definitely was a jamisson 🥃 drinker But not no more... Can't wait for his next release

His answer on the last question regarding his color and longevity is awesome. It's all about good music made and performed from the heart regardless of color!
As an American, I was a kid while Snow became a think on American airwaves. Me and my siblings got hooked immediately. The general consensus from people here was “oh that white guy who made that one catchy song that one time”. People didn’t take him seriously here because the vanilla ice craze had just died down. And here, if an artist was white they were automatically considered “a joke” act. We didn’t have RUclips at the time so you couldn’t see interviews like this on a wide scale. No one here knew he got banned from America and Japan. Man I’m in my 30s and I’m still learning stuff about Snow. But one thing is for sure: Snow is way bigger than most people here in America ever learned to appreciate.
@@m16fermy and to think people clown on this man. I always laugh thinking what would have happened had snow got jim carrey in a room alone back in the day. We wouldnt have had such gems as Ace Ventura 2, ill tell you that.
Snow was never a culture vulture. He never claimed to be Jamaican and he was actually about “that” life compared to some rappers. He just loved the music
This white boy is more gangster than most of these rappers out there mad respect I used to hate on him until I actually did my research Bone Thugs-N-Harmony fake gangsters Snoop Dogg fake gangster NWA most of them fake gangsters this dude is f****** legit
~ He's pushing 50 omg, but the 90s seem like yesterday! He should be touring with Eminem and be bringing some woke reality Stateside ~ So miss 1993 L.O.L. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
@@wilsonfisk4741 All I know is he had the hardest verse on the Anything for you (remix) lol I was proud that he held his own with the giants and he's from Toronto
Snow is awesome and a real genuine Artistic singer who can actually sing, not to mention he's a normal nice person despite all the things that have happened throughout his life.
His talent broke through all his troubles in his life. That's how we got Informer which everyone knows. He might have given us more but unfortunately things didn't go that way.
Maritza Piccarillo Its more of the African-Americans who hate on white people like Snow for doing a style music that is mostly made up of Black Artist. The Jamaicans and Canadian-Jamaicans at least gave him the support and he deserved.
He had a good point about putting out good music. What be didn't factor in was that he would continue to keep getting in trouble with the law. That killed his career
Snow is dancehall/ragga who's a MC. MC is rapping. Look at the Jamaican MC from old schools back in the 1970s, 80s, 90s and early 2000s. Eminem rap Hip Hop songs. MC/Rap are the same in the way the words are spoken not singing.
@@serene1275 In the real Hip Hop Culture, Mcing and rapping are not the same. Nelly was a rapper who sang. Drake is a rapper who sings. Queen Latifah was a rapper who sang. Hip Hop MCs are defined by lyical content and complexity, ability to move the crowd, ability to hype and showcase the DJ. Dancehall is not built on the Hip Hop CULTURE established in the 60's and 70's; a part of Hip Hop was taken from Dancehall and expanded. Snow is Dancehall and you cannot compare him to one of the greatest rappers and lyricists of our time. The comparison starts and stops with skin color. Snow is a credit to his genre, but to compare him to Em is like comparing a Camaro to an Enzo. Not in the same class.
The thing about Snow is that he blew up just after Vanilla Ice had. People thought he was another 'imposter' but he actually was from the street, and, had skill. This man needs respect.
Agreed
I just watched his vlad interview I was shocked
There is no difference

They need to make a movie about this dude’s life
I never thought of him as subject matter for a docu, I am now. Dang, Id watch that.
100%
Yeah I’ll watch it for sure this man has been through some shit. More than what people may know
Facts!!

See him on vlad TV? He's a old Irish man still doing the damn thing. I think he's cool 😎

Dominic was the original

I only knew this dude from informer but that Vlad interview turned me into a huge fan. I love the love and respect he has for the music
He what sublime was tryin to become and its no diss to sublime.
Same I never knew he was this cool 😎
Vlad is a Informer so it's ironic how you heard about him from 2 sets of informers 😂
This man has some of the most purely undeniable talent I’ve ever heard in music. It’s as if he came out the womb singing those melodies.
Very Talented
It's funny how in the comments people are finding out that " that fake white white boy " Snow is actually a real G.
Snow had legit street cred..Facts
Wtf are you talking about. Sounds like you made up a comment you never read
Going from attempted murder to threats to kill is definitely progress 🤣😂🤣
Big up snow 👊

Nothing but pure respect for this Irish

Fan of him since 1992 when his first

My all time classic from him is
Certainly "Hey pretty love".....
He definitely was a jamisson 🥃 drinker
But not no more...
Can't wait for his next release

Snow put in his work
which part of london

The line of the interview .."Yeah I never got caught stealing.. Just for attempt murders" lol
His answer on the last question regarding his color and longevity is awesome. It's all about good music made and performed from the heart regardless of color!
Truth
I finally understand why he didn't get more famous. He goes to jail too much.
🤣🤣
Loved SNOW in 1993 and still in 2022.
Yes good artist
anybody here after watching the Vlad interview mad respect

Most Americans wouldn't know he's not the original either.. There was a British reggae artist called Dominic before him.
Underrated, no doubt.
Love love snow we love you from Jamaica 🇯🇲 ❤
This is a type of real in the music industry that rarely exists anymore.
Truth
Very charismatic man. Nadine is gorgeous
In the last week I've, for some reason, started listening to him and I've got mad respect for him
American would say he's trying too hard, Jamaicans have more respect for him. That is awesome
Real awesome
ABSOLUTE FUCKING LEGEND MISS THE 90’s this is my childhood, guy was completely underrated
#JULY2018
Look him up now. Especially his song from 6y ago, SHAME featuring Mykal Rose.
Almost from 80's.Early 90's I think.

Looks like a young robert deniro
Yeah, that's right😁! Now put him, the color me badd singer and vanilla ice in a mix and then you can see Snow again😁
“It’s big progress!” 😂
my part too
Damn, they need to find a time machine and find 23 year old Robert Deniro to play Snow in his biopic.
No way!! RDN doesn't fit the part.
Look alot alike!!! Must be Bobby's Irish side showing.
Ooh Elvis... not Robert Deniro, now,,I like Robert Deniro, but not to play Snow! But Damn, Snow is Bumping!
Hell yeah, he got the look
Isn't Snow both Irish and Italian?
Gotta say, he's got something about him.
I hope he stays out of trouble and has another hit or two up his sleeve.
True talk
DJ Vlad interview brought me here! New respect for Snow!
Like this video got revived
Snow. A real dude.
Big up Junior Ried! His music studio was near my old High School in Jamaica. Dunrobin High.
yes indeed
Use to remember he had the night club upstairs...them time de did nice
Junior Reid got some tuff songs
Imitation is the highest form of flattery.
Snow is awesome and a real genuine Artistic singer who can actually sing, not to mention he's a normal nice person despite all the things that have happened throughout his life.
I followed his carreer untill Justuss. Murder love is a true classic, super album. Keep it up Snow. We need a nice come back track.
he was hot, really humble too which I wasnt expecting
A licky boom-boom down.
snowman since the 90's best mc ! big ups!
He is even cuter here than in the informer video.
yeah, he sure was handsome. reminds me of robert deniro when he was really young
His talent broke through all his troubles in his life. That's how we got Informer which everyone knows. He might have given us more but unfortunately things didn't go that way.
rich rich culture right there!
The difference between him singing, and him talking about killing is polar opposite haha
Lol
Music brings black and whites together....so they hate on hiphop and raggae music...
