Part 2: • Snow on Going to Jail ...
--------
Snow came through for his first-ever VladTV interview, and he started off speaking about growing up in Toronto in the projects with his mother, and he later added that he comes from a "gangster family." During the conversation, Snow spoke about dropping out of high school and not being able to fully read or write, which he says didn't hold him back in life. This led to him speaking about his legal troubles, which started when he was first arrested at 14, and Snow added that he was facing two attempted murder charges a few years later. To hear more, including Snow speaking about his friend confessing to the crime during his trial, hit the above clip.

swear to god i had a anxiety attack hoping that girl wasnt going to do the interview. once i heard vlads voice all was well
Same here
Y’all be dragging Shirley. 🤣🤣🤣
@@mistersippiburning shes terrible 🤦♂️
Shirley does soun' like she always fanning out. In spite of this, she still managed to make a career on RUclips. Very popular channel at that so there ya go
Same here same here!!! "Damn" "oh my god"
I remember as a kid everyone thought this dude was some soft guy, like an industry plant but they didn't know this dude was living that life 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know right that's what I said.😂
This who Drake tries to be
Right? He is harder than some Gangster Rappers I know!
Same exept I read this in a article in the 90s and was like dam snow really more gangster than the gangster rappers of his era.
Nah the real ones knew he from allensbury
This should be a good one. Glad to hear you are doing this interview Vlad.
I cannot sit through any of the other not-vlads...might be my favorite artist of all time but if its the Kardashian steelo vocal fry botch I can only do 5 minutes max
Didn’t know I needed this interview but I’m locked in 4 it!!!
I'm on my break saying the same dam yo 🤣🤣
@SVNOFAGVN KINGOFAMAN then y comment lmao
Haha for real! This dude is an anomaly
Didn't know his life was so entertaining
Damn he aged into Robert De Niro!!
Vlad: So, born and raised in Toronto?
Snow: Born in Etobicoke-whatchafiknow
Vlad: Okay.
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Would of broke my laptop and phone if that girl was doing the interview
You on a 💻 lol
She pisses me off
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love when someone tells whole stories thru sound effects lol
And hella hand movements..
😂 he makes so many nonsense noises, it makes Informer make sense now. Wonder if he that’s what he see when he tries to read
👍🏿😂😂🤣
Lack of education and broken families, 2 big factors
This dude lived his life. In Europe Informer was huge. Bought the cassette in 94. Still got it
Bruh his wife is fuuuuuuucking hot. Unreal
You boom boom down
Damn he had a childhood like Ricky from trailer park boys 🤣🤣🤣
Bubbles was in his "Legal" video back in 02.
I never knew Snow was that raw, I knew he was a Toronto OG and had dope Dancehall tunes but wow, that blew my mind!
Everyone from Toronto knows Snow was a roughneck. He actually hurt his career cause he was always getting into bar fights and getting himself kicked out of different countries while on tour. Meanwhile most of his songs weren't about street or gangster stuff except for Informer. Also it was hilarious how Informer went mainstream when it was basically a jailhouse bullpen holding cell hand-beating-on-the-wall song about murdering rats.
Never heard of this mans
@@dabunwin442 he blew up in the early 90s
Everyone except Jim Carrey..
Somebody with poor reading comprehension sent me a comment saying: "Nobody knew it cuz it's nonsense he's not gangster at all".
Yeah, that's why I used the word ROUGHNECK and not "gangster". That was a deliberate word choice, not an accident.
Gangster IMO = shooting and killing people, especially in connection to drug, gang, or organized crime activities. So Sammy the Bull, Birdman's brother Terrance, Wayne Perry, Lester Lloyd, etc. were gangsters.
But the guys punching guys in the face or brawling in bars - that's what I call roughnecks. That's why I called Snow a roughneck. He was always fighting in bars and getting charges.
There can be overlap between the drunken bar brawlers and the shooters/gangsters/killers/mobsters in some cases. But I've never heard of Snow shooting or killing people over gangs or drugs or mob stuff, so I didn't call him a gangster. And he said he wasn't a gangster himself.
@@dabunwin442 broooo how do u not know informer?! Respectfully
Bro, he had the early 90’s lit!!!!!! Brings back good times and memories. 😢
Man I thought that was Al Bundy lol
The deep Irish/Jamaican connection is a phenomenon that should receive way more attention. From music to accents to colonialism.. Incredibly influential on western culture and not talked about nearly as much as it should be.
Crazy ,but I just heard Tariq nasheed just talked about the comparison
The Irish were slaves in Barbados and Carribean
is there any documentary on the connection . I know montreal has a huge tie into the irish mob and italian but i would to learn about the Jamaican connection
What Jamaican Irish connection 😂😂
@@Jameel3DN there is, actually check it
Wow that was awesome interview can’t wait for part two!
Damn Snow was more hood than most rappers back than....thats crazy🤣🤣🤣
This guy vlad doesn’t stop round of applause for Super Vlad 👏🏾
Well damn. This dude had one of the greatest songs of the 90’s. Forgot all about this dude, and here he is on VLAD.
Facts!!
what song is that? I kind of remember him but not really, I'm born 86
@@mikelac2 Informer.
Jim Carrey’s skit made me piss my pants laughing so hard
Imposter 😆 that was a classic
The informer with the informant!
LOL!
I had no idea Snow was a savage. Who woulda thought the realest rapper of the 90's was Canadian 🤣 🤣 🤣
Canadians, British people, Australians, etc. are all wannabe Americans. All they do is copy off of Americans. Ain't no such thing asva Canadian gangster. They ride horses and keep their doors unlocked in Canada, foh.
Damn this dude is a gangster
I thought this fool was from Jamaica.
He’s the one who put a hit on Wheel Chair Jimmy.
He was a reggae artist not a rapper..lol.I was shocked,too.
Wow, I never thought the "Licky Boom Boom Down" MC would appear on VLAD TV.
Lookin' at his background, Snow definitely had street credibility that Vanilla Ice never had.
Damn , Who Would’ve Known Back In The Early 90’s HipHop Scene That Snow “Informer” Was One Of The Most Street Official Gangsters In The Whole Rap HipHop Scene? 😂😂😂 Salute To Snow 💯
A lot of ppl knew if u were actaully from Toronto..
Just like people didn't know Hammer was gangster
@You're Dumb He’s Actually Titled A Reggie Rapper So Your Name Matches 👍🏼
I knew snow was gangster but damn if all that happened under 21 that's a life right there
He’s definitely harder than 6ix9ine’s pusy ass.
They claim he's a one-hit wonder, although he had other smash songs besides "Informer" including "Runaway," "Girl I've Been Hurt," "Anything for You," "Lonely Monday Morning," and three major albums full of bangers. He also had a clash with Ninjaman, something he could not have done if he was not well-respected in the dancehall scene. Snow has definitely come a long way.
DAMN, he clashed wit Ninja? Didnt know. Was it at Sunsplash?
Informer is his best known song that’s why he is considered a one hit wonder because he never saw the same success
Wheeeennnnnn??????
How come I’m just hearing this. And now ninja man in jail
@@lethal5flow679 he didn't clash with Ninja, man please. Ninja did what he did to everybody. they performed together and eventually Ninja threw some friendly fire. I'm pretty sure at least one of their performances with Snow, Ninja and Baby Wayne is on RUclips.
And the only reason he was a "one hit wonder" is because he was in prison in Canada and therefore was banned from entry to the US as well as UK and Japan. That's why radio in the US stopped playing him because he couldn't do shows or appearances. Nevertheless, he still managed to have like 3 or 4 big songs after that even if they didn't chart like "Informer" did in the major markets.
I'm from Scarborough east Toronto real talk Snow's name was legit in the streets back in the day...we knew Catz he knew that was on that real type time....salute to snow the original Toronto legend
💯💯💯💯💯
Always thought he was from Ajax
@@terrenceabate1116 no he from Toronto....spent alot of time in Scarborough and west end...even did a bit of time in the east detention center if I remember correctly
Some of my boys went to Borden with him back in the day. He's a real one.
Scarborough still guy 🇨🇦
Just when I thought this channel couldn’t get more interesting… I’m hooked.
Still lmao at Jim Carey doing the parody of Imformer called "Impostor" 😆 on In Living Color
Ion member that, I member when he did Vanilla Ice‼️😂🤣
Yeah that pissed us off at the time ... cause we knew bettee...he'd kick Carey and ILC ass.. fact is they were being straight up hypocritical racists..
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I STILL bump Snow's music to this day! I think it's sad that his sophomore album "Murder Love" didn't get much play. It's a pretty good record.
Wait. Snow was really about that life. Not going to lie. Use to think Toronto was sweet but definitely got humbled when I heard about Houdini. That sent me down the rabbit hole finding out Toronto had savages.
Nah there are lots of homicides in Toronto. 90-100 a year on average. If Toronto were in the US, it would be in the top 100 worst cities with a homicide rate of 2.0. It's no Chicago, Detroit or Philly but if you're in the streets there you can definitely get killed. Most rappers out of Toronto get murdered.
Who would think snow was a gangsta this going be a dope interview
Girl I’ve been hurt is still one of my favorite songs ever! Salute Snow🍾
Decades before drake Toronto had this legend
Started getting into Snow's music last month, great to see this interview happen! And for those who just know him for "Informer", just know he has a lot of other bangers, especially on his debut
Damn you like 20+ years late my dude hahha
@@sourdiesel681 I am VERY late to snow, considering I'm in my 30's lol
@@sourdiesel681 try 30 years late
Better late than never!!
It's all relevant stuff too. Sample heaven.
Geeez.... Being from Toronto n being a 90's baby , hearing that " Informer " chores playing on the radio was a daily thing lol
Completely forgot bout this guy , I had no idea he's so entertaining lol His energy n storytelling be funny n dope . Glad ur doing this Vlad
Ya s/o to snow being solid reppin tdot. He a rude boi fr
Ya me too! ( on fm 108 lol)
He learned the art of storytelling from Jamaicans you can tell by the sound effects "I kicked him *bodobodun*"
This dude is the exact clown I always though he was , good song tho
@@moer2489 you sound more like a 🤡 getting all in your feelings about an artist on some strangers comment 🤣🤦🏽♂️
Thank you Vlad for this interview!!! As a Canadian I've always wanted to know more about Snow
I'm from New Zealand and can't belaave vlad finally got snow on here 💯
Him and his mom robbed the shoe store 😂
The family business 😂
Aldo's at Sheridan mall lololol
Vlad always pulls u back in with these interviews. Vlad knows how to find these cats.
just when you think his channel starting to suck , he gets you snow, terrence williams and math hoffa.
Nice
Can somebody please tell me what was said after "born and raised" he turned into an auctioneer mid sentence🤣
Right🤣🤣🤣
"Born and raised in the ghetto, me na want you fi know" I think.
YOU DONT KNOW THE TORONTO LINGO 🤣
@@essgee4225 THATS WHY HE ASKED😂
"Wow" Snow is a real hood O.G. Gangster much respect to Danchal & Reggae from Toronto Canada .
He belongs in prison
It’s good to hear the story behind the artist. I grew up in Kenya in the 90’s n informer was in heavy rotation on radio n tv. I remember the video had the lyrics in the bottom but still had no clue what’s mans was talking about
You were in Massachusetts
This is gonna be a cool interview
Respect to VLADTV this interview as caused the internet algorithm to throwback some old hits and interviews about SNOW all over RUclips...
Great interview
Omg, I remember this guy. My wife and I put his music on, started dancing. Our generation had the best music. Rakim and Eric B, they don’t make music like that anymore!
You put snow and Eric B. & Rakim in the same comment as our generation had the best music?? 👌🤦♂️
@@johnsmith-zh1iv, it’s all good, I’m damn near 60 now. N, it’s all good. I completely forgot about Snow, he had his moment to shine, I give him his props. I just pumped up Rakim and Eric B. as well. I need a memory lane, every once in awhile.
Informer is still fire 🔥 even after a few decades, never understood what he was saying but sounded amazing especially in the early 90's!
Damn interesting interview get Vlad. Good one for sure
is this the "I'll lick your boom boom down guy?"
Yo I see you vlad. This gon be a good one. My jam was 'girl I been hurt'
That was better than Informer IMO
Im jamaican and till this day i can't even catch what he said in that song.
thank you for this vlad
Lol! Ya gotta love the scatting and sound effects snow throws in as he is telling the crowbar story he has a tongue like a machine gun!!
Don Mills and Sheppard on Vladtv!? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥BIG UP Toronto
I was 8-9 when informer dropped we loved it. A class of kids singing it & laughing
"If this 🌎 were mine" is my favorite song👍❄️
Solid interview..real Toronto legend
I come home from work, sit and eat while watching all of vlads upload for the day then repeat.
Vlad you have a good one here! Can’t wait to hear his history and his point of view.
Lady with the red dress was hype too
I can't wait for vlad's interview with Color Me Badd
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stop it!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Infaaaaaammah ....the days of annoying my older brothers with that "boom boom down" line when I was in grade 1🤣😭...the last time I saw Snow, was on queen east, at the real jerk and his song started playing. It was an odd moment - considering the screwfaced vibe was real at that point in Toronto. Thanks for the nostalgia Vlad 🥂
Snow!!!!! A real Ledgen 👍🏼 ( All Love from oakland California )
Whoooooa this gon be a gooood one.
big up to the abg family!!! big hammer in the house..... abg 4 life!!!
Snow has to be one of the top "one hit wonders" of all time his song "Informer" went number 1 in America on the music charts while he was sitting in jail in 1993, even Mona Scott who owns the "Love and Hip-hop" franchises on TV was a dancer in Snow's "Informer" music video.
Really Mona Scott was a dancer
He had many hits especially in Jamaica where he was literally praised
@@danieladusei1993 yes she was right befor she started Violator entertainment.
@@tonyoliver5537 Damn, trippy fact. Respect.
He wasn’t a one hit wonder. He had several big hits especially in the Caribbean scene
If he told me he was a part time hitman I'd believe him.
Anything for you. Classic tune still gets played til this day.
This man is legit. Beautiful music, left for us to enjoy!
I wonder if vlad is gonna bring up when Jim carrey did a parody on snow
Snow one of the most overlooked authentic G’s to ever do it!
Elaborate
Anything for you was a great selection and my favorite Snow song!
We grew up wid this man’s voice in Toronto shout out!!
"I almost beat a guy to death with a crow bar"
"I got locked up because the police don't like my family"
😆
Snow secretly the most gangster artist of the 90s
I met this guy once, mad humble 💯🇨🇦
HELL YEAH! ITS ABOUT TIME!
Man this is so weird. I have been listening to him a lot again lately. Actually been looking up old interviews the last few days. And boom all of a sudden a new interview! Or should I say a licky boom boom a new interview!
U are just tapped into the universal energy
@@jamaicanbkslimaz if that's what you want to call it I guess LOL but weird stuff like this happens with me all the time. My friend just called me a psychic LOL
@@JoshPoor-Big_Josh_P everything is connected…..ppl just gotta tap in….it’s far from weird lol.
Snow + MC Shan = 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Legend, love that you did this Vlad
Love this guy. Does he have any new music ?
I remember reading this in the 90s somewhere thinking dam snow actually more gangster than most of the gangster rappers of the era 🤣 🤣 🤣
This guy certified legend actual talent and definitely deserves to be recognized. Who raps faster?
twista tech n9ne and marshall off the top
@@DjBallcan’t forget prime busta rhymes
This is one for the older heads even I remember this artist. Catchy songs.
This is pretty cool. Shout out to those who knew the Informer lyrics and chorus from the jump! I wonder if clad is going to ask him about them….
This is a cool booking. Respect
Never judge a book by its cover.
Yeah I wouldn’t be going around saying the only credit I earned was from Mr. Thrust…
🤣
🤣🤣
When I was in the Recieving Unit in Shelton Washington prison they would wake us up in the morning, playing Informer as loud as they could, 1993.
the ony thing i have ever heard about this dude was that he was an official G and thorough AF
As a teenager in the 90s he was one of few, who introduced me to hip hop/rap to my life and it's been there for over 30 years. Informer was the shit back then
Informer was released August 20th 1992 so it hasn't been over 30 years.
@@wesleyparker6045 Can you read and understand what you are reading or you are here only to prove something which feeds your ego? I wrote "one of few" , not "the first". How about - you smart ass - Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby", tell me when that joint was first released? Was it over 30 years ago? What is your point? I was born in 1980, my country was communistic until 1989, but since about 1990-91 I could watch MTV and was able to find out what is "Yo Raps" by Ed Lover and the other Dr Dre. Also that was the time I got to see NBA and seing MJ win his titles so stop with your mockery
Informer was my shit in junior high
Yo, I haven't seen him in years, good look VladTv ✊🏾
I was blasting informer recently. Seen that Jim Carey skit so had to go back and listen to it. It was on the radio all the time over here back in the day.
I played pool with him 8 ball and snooker at don valley billiards back in the day at peanutplaza this guy was super famous but super humble to us young guys gave me respect in the hood there going to school at vanier . I used bump his music in my caddy all the time . Great to watch him in this interview as far as i know he was the first rapper that can spit a rhyme and verse the fastest .
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Damn Snow wasn’t as pure as I thought he was. 😂😂😂This man was a pit there whipping ppl’s asses
Stops himself from naming names like mid syllable. Gotta respect the loyalty
