    He's actually talking about getting rid of the snitch who put him in prison. "I licky boom boom dem" means taking care of the rat, shooting the informer down. And this is a true story, he was sent to jail for a crime he didn't commit because someone threw him under the bus.
    And nothing like a white canadian reggae rapper to break the stereotypes 🤣

    "lick your bum bum down" is a Caribbean term for I'm going to knock you off the planet ...or get rid of you .....to knock somebody down. He doesn't look like it but he was the real deal Gangsta in the day. He recorded this, but was actually in the can on an assault charge when it blew up and started getting airplay! Snow was charged and imprisoned for attempted murder but was later released.
    He grew up in a mostly Jamaican neighborhood. He's not putting on an act, this is what he listened to and was around all the time!

      Yeah, he had to go back to Toronto after meeting Shan to answer a charge for beating (I think it was a rival) gang member with a crowbar. It was that aggravated assault charge he was doing time for when the song hit number 1

  • @Zentron
    @Zentron 3 года назад +72

    He's from Canada, lived in one of Toronto's Jamaican projects, there he picked up the Jamaican language and slang.
    This song was about when he was sent to prison for double murder for a year, falsely accused of course and he got freed. The video for this song was made just before he went in prison for about 6 or 8 months for assault, it premiered when he was part way through his sentence and when he got released, he got picked up by a stretched limo to the shocked faces of the prison guards.

    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.

    Literally the refrain is "took man to city imma stomach stab somewhere down the lane i licky boom boom down" It's about murdering ops/snitches/informers. so funny cos people thought this was a chill party song until they knew someone who spoke patois. and then they partied anyway, cos it's a banger.
