“I lick he boom-boom down” can mean “I’ll beat him down” or “I’ll gun him down” depending on how you interpret the Jamaican Patois. In Patois “lick” means to beat, hit or to shoot.
Yep! MC Shan also uses the term during his part (the police "licked up my pal", meaning they smacked up the girl he was with when they broke into his house to arrest him). Snow was actually arrested for a stabbing, the song even came out while he was in lockup for it.
We use that word the same way in the US South culture. To overcome someone, something, a hard job, a problem, an enemy etc
He wrote the song after he was arrested for attempted murder.... he hadn't done it but he knew who had but he REFUSED TO BE AN INFORMER. He got into a lot of fights and that particular night (it was outside a Toronto club I believe) I think he had a knife and someone who didn't like him told he police he had done it. He went to jail and was in there for awhile until he was cleared. That's what he wrote the song about. He was incarcerated when the song hit the radio. :) He was arrested something like 20+ times through the years till he stopped drinking...he's Irish-Canadian.... said he was quite a drinker and brawler in his youth.
No one is good at catching these lyrics the first time, man. Or the one hundred and first time either. lol
lol okay good I thought I was the only one at first
@MAJreactions This was a huge hit, and we loved it, but no one knew what he was talking about.
I've seen Jamaicans that have no idea what he's saying lol, as a whiteboy growing up in toronto in 90s I had to at least understand patois lol
@guestuser2373 those of us that grew up in certain areas had to understand patois to get by lol
He was in prison for attempted murder. licky boom boom means he gonna shoot you.
Actually snow was born and raised in Toronto in the hood with a lot of Jamaicans and this is how he sings he's talking about an Informer and he actually was in a correctional facility just outside Toronto while my ex was a correctional officer there😮😮😮😮 and believe me he had lots of problems because of his music❤❤❤❤
Yep. Snow got teased back in the early 90s for being white and yet most black rappers back then were middle class Clarences from nice homes playing studio gangstas when Snow was actually in jail and lived what they wanted to be.
@@wonderfullymade425 because that informationa bout him has been well known for over 30 years. Do your homework.
@@wonderfullymade425 well why would I tell you it otherwise LOL
@@DannyP-dm1pw LOL I love the reference to 8 Mile I watch the ending rap battles on the regular and I'm a senior citizen LOL
❤
That feature was the legendary MC Shan
"licky boomboom" = "click clack boom boom", basically pop the informant
Oh lol I was way off
Snow was the real deal, even being in jail on attempted murder charges when this song got to #1!!
Snow was the first thing I saw on MTV which was also the first thing I saw on Sky TV in 1993, while I was on holiday (vacation).
Less than 1 minute in and I'm cracking UP!!! Your facial expressions are GOLD!
So weird to see someone who has never heard this song. It was all over for a time.
Yeah ...but that was 30 years ago!
😂
He's from Toronto, and he's speaking in Patois. He grew up in the projects in Scarborough. Unfortunately, he showed up about the same time as Vanilla Ice, and was labelled a fake. He's genuine.
'Licky boom boom down' is Jamaican slang for 'I'm going to shoot you'. Snow was in prison for attempted murder when this song was released. The first time he saw the video was from his jail cell.
We didn't know what he saying 30 years ago and we still don't...its part of the charm. lmao
I can’t listen to this song without hearing Jim Carrey’s version from in living color. Makes me laugh every time 😂
EXACTLY WHAT I SAID WHEN I FIRST CLICKED ON THIS💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀(Bless you for remembering)💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
He's not talking about booty he's talking about killing someone because they informed you also have to check out his other song legal❤❤❤❤
Who hasn't heared this? A Classic.
He is Snow. He's Canadian. Fell in love with Reggae and was good enough to earn respect in the Jamaican Reggae scene and have a bunch of hits. Think Eminem and Dr. Dre Informer was the only one that reached commercial success in the U.S.
He grew up in the hood in Toronto with all the Jamaicans, like for real
This song had a bouncing white ball as the lyrics scrolled the bottom of them screen on MTV.
I love Snow's music - this was his big hit but I prefer others of his songs. The album 12 Inches of Snow is chock full of no skips. Lady With The Red Dress, Lonely Monday Morning are 2 faves, Girl I've Been Hurt, and Hey Pretty Love are also great. Later on he had Everybody Wants To Be Like You (personal favourite overall) and Legal (the mv features Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys and is very entertaining). He definitely has the hybrid tropical/Jamaican/Caribbean sound and is great company when you're just relaxing.
~FM :)
This song killed RUclips's closed captioning program. I tried using it just to see how they'd interpret the lyrics and closed captioning said, "Fuck it, I don't even.", and only puts words for half of the song.
Snow ain't no Vanilla Ice. His background story is wild. Check out his DJ Vlad interview.
MC Shan is a feature. He came out in the 80s.
He's talking about making a snitch pay!!
This is my home boy from Canada
He's from Toronto but he grew up in a Jamaican neighborhood.
It's actually a Reggae song, so yes, it most definately has a Caribbean vibe, lol.
Great video.
He's saying if the informer says the name snow he's gonna beat him down
hes got a song called shame thats really good.
Was in jail when he wrote this for 2 murder charges or attempt murder from Toronto. Canada, actually really respected in the reggae community did a lot of mixes with some big artists. You should check out some of his other tunes. They’re all bangers.
This song came out when I was like 11 or 12. He wrote it while in jail charged with dbl attempted murder. Informer = snitch…so in Jamaican “a licky boom 💥 boom 💥 🔫 down 🩸 “ means he’s gonna get cha! Snow is the white guy singing the song, MC Shen is the black dude. Nobody got the lyrics at first.
I love that you don’t know anything about this and are vibing it. I was 11 when this came out and it was HUGE! Like huge! Lick you boom boom down . He is talking about knocking out a snitch. Snow is the real deal
He says Etobicoke, not Connecticut. *🤣* It’s a Jamaican neighborhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
He is from Don Mills not Etobicoke
@@user-hj5gj4ul8z He literally says he’s from Etobicoke, but if you ever meet him in person, go right ahead and try telling him he’s a liar and that he’s from a different Toronto ’hood. I’m sure he would laugh in your face for 10 minutes straight.
I actually remember where it happened
He's talking about being booked in the Toronto east detention centet
He’s like Canadian reggae Eminem
Like your reaction a lot! you love music I can tell! Subscribed!
Teacher: do you know english?
Student: i do, its my native language.
Teacher: oh really???
Ha! This brings me back to the Tdot days back in the 1900's.
Tdot 💯
1900s 😂😂
You can pause, we all rewound more than once.
This is so nostalgic. Brings back childhood memories 😊
Irish Canadian.. form Toronto
That bassline in this is killer
Hey baby how are you blessings from Toronto and I'm really anxious to see your reaction to snow because most people don't know how to react😂😂😂😂
"People them say u come from jamaica, but me born and raised in the ghetto that i want u to know, pure black people is all i man know and my shoes used to teared up and my toes used to show, the one me a born is the one Toronto"
Thats about what he says.
I must be old...I have this cd that I bought when I was about 19 years of age. Great album and I think after Snow made this, there was a story about him going to jail or something.
Dude... I bought the cassette. I was probably around 10 and my folks didn't have a cd player back then.
This guy is a huge "what if" to me. He's talented AF, and he's as real as it gets, he wrote the song in Jail. But I think the "in living colour" parody pretty much ended him in the US. He's recorded music in Jamaica since and lived in Thailand for a while.
LOL such a fun song 💜
Aww, was expecting you to break down the lyrics at the end... as you only got one word correct which is 'informer' and then the rest was downhill. :D
Nice reaction. Very good effort to understand it. After decades of the CIA's top cryptographers attempting to crack the code, it is now believed the legendary Snow is from Toronto.
Daddy Yankee con calma , it's the same renewed, snow appears in the video
It’s dancehall/hip hop merge. A lot of it in early 90s. Check out Mad Lion
Snow grew up in Canada in little Jamaica in Toronto. Glad tou listened cause its a sin not to hear him . Top played Reggae song in Jamaica still to this date...."A licky, boom boom down! " is a snitch I believe .
DANCEHALL! 😎
raggamuffin
Snow runaway, lonley monday morning those two same level
Leaking means bleeding And book mean gun shot
I licky boom boom down, means he will beat up or shoot the informer.
😎 ****NOTHING BREAKS STEREOTYPES, LIKE A WHITE, CANADIAN, REGGAE, HIP HOP, RAPPER (LOL)**** 😎
Watch Jim Carrey from In Living Color .... Snow🤣🤣🤣

IN LIVING COLOR💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀(Jim Carrey)💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀👊🏿👊🏿
Snow is from Toronto Canada...
Hea white… hes canadian… he rapped faux reggae… and yet… dude is legit gangster in real life… he first saw his video while in jail
“Licky boom boom down” means “take out an informer”… basically… dont be a snitch
Recommend his vlad tv interviews
He is from Toronto Canada
Patois is difficult to catch
LMAO!!!
Research first is key, you might look smarter, God damn brother, I likey boom, boom now! He's from Canada! You look as sharp as a bowling ball! Sold millions! When MTV played music!!
Union!
That's his rapp name !! Come on man, get a clue!! Boom boom now!!!!
Ok old people like me dont gwt mad but most those ladies in the video are moms and grandmoms now. Dang this vid makes me feel old

🇨🇦
Lol literally no-one understood a thing he said. Not even after 5 straight months of radio play.
Ok so having grown up in the same area i remember the stabbing this was about.hes from Toronto.
He said hes from canada toronto
Subtitles are a good thing.
WHY DON'T THEY PLAY THIS FOR PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND PATTWA??!!!
No one knows what the lyrics are. lol
His not new.
Jim Carrey did it better
😂
YES (as I said first coming here)😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂
No
Snow is so cringe, which is probably why he disappeared so fast. Less Snow White and more Snow Shite.
Thank you barry evans for the clueless take
@@lovezatla You are welcome :)
Yeh Barry Evans go back to EastEnders
@@ayaanbretmitchell9830 I can't, some b1tch pushed me off a cliff.
It's your comment that's cringe mate. And you're not even smart enough to know it
