@@lightlantern I mean that is cool, I was born in Toronto at St. Michael's hospital. I did not know how you meant it sorry, but I understand now - how you handled your liquor in a victory over Snow, a fun anecdote.
That’s what’s up because back in the gap when we were called the N-word we flipped the script and say it to each other but it’s not used to down each other and we spells it NIGGAZ and not the way the foolish milkshakes spells it out and some of them feels that if we can express it to each other they feels that they can express it to us and some of them gets their lights put out and some brothers and sisters lets it slide but I don’t let it pass when they gets bold enough to say it and I’ve knocked out more teeth and broken a whole lot of jaws and have went to jail for doing so and at the age of 56 with a loving white wife I would still get down the same damn way; but it haven’t been said to me by a white person since I was about 22 or 23.😎
as others stated he was raised in a jamaican neighborhood in toronto. the "lickey boom boom" refers to knocking someone out. I'll pass to the island ppl that can explain this expression better. but basically snitches get stitches
That’s what every generation said about what the next generation was doing. Nothing really changed except that people became less uptight about certain things. At one time, Elvis’ hips were going to destroy the moral fabric of society. Only the most insane people believe that now. When people say things were better in “their day,” I say, sure. For you.
@@christhornycroft3686 there is a before and after internet, and so there can only be one before generation. I get they all say theirs was better, but internet did have an impact on how we socialize. Even needing to look something up or do a paper you visited the library which had you interacting with others to from and there , and we were outside talking face to face everyday.

Girl…..this was everywhere…people came together with music in 80sand 90s…..it was so fun….we had house parties had everyone every color person…it’s so bad now…we had fun then
When the pandemic is over get down to the islands. Jamaica, Barbados, Grenada, St Lucia, Dominica, St Vincent, St Kits& Nevis, And many many more. Good food, good tunes, good vibes. 😁 Get y'all ears tuned in, then listen to Snow again.
That is that Jamaican voice he's singing reggae but old school rap style and music is hot that song is very hot I'm 64 years old but I love that s*** is on the party is on
Considering this is the song about Snow being arrested for two murders (he was found NG), I find it ironic that you mentioned people having to be shot, stabbed and whatnot.
"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!
I have no idea now where I got 'Etobicoke' - I probably meant Scarborough ... ! Edit: I guess when he says he was 'raised in the ghetto', I must have heard that as 'raised in Etobicoke' LOL!
Have you heard Jim Carrey's Snow and Vanilla Ice parodies ? They're hilarious ! Ps in Birmingham UK a white man singing reggae isn't unusual considering we have UB40 and Apache Indian, and Musical Youth please check them out.

One of the few white hip hop artists to get a pass. Right there with Serch, B-real, Eminem, Aesop Rock, EL-P, Despot Macklemore and so many (but too few) others. Drop ya color shades folks.
It's because back then it was about love and when you make the music about love instead of fighting instead of killing you cannot dance today but when it's about love you dance today that's why when he says I'll lick your boom boom that's love

Never happened.
I went to Highschool with him in Scarboro. He got picked on for being white and rapping. Bullies called him 'Snow' as a diss. He owned it.

I mean it sounds believable so who am I to say otherwise? Wonder if he's still around in the GTA :S
😎 ******NOTHING BREAKS STEREOTYPES, LIKE A WHITE, CANADIAN, REGGAE, HIP HOP, RAPPER****** 😎
Soooo many bangers on this album, I'm still bumping it almost 30 years later. The daddy Yanke remix is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Katy perry did her thing on the remix
2:29 “You can’t be doing all that… like, you can do that… like, do it again.”
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
“Why the music back then so free? No shots or stabs”
Might wanna look up what the song is about lol …
as others stated he was raised in a jamaican neighborhood in toronto. the "lickey boom boom" refers to knocking someone out. I'll pass to the island ppl that can explain this expression better. but basically snitches get stitches
It’s about putting 2 in the informers head. Boom boom down.
yankees29 yep. Informer told detective he saw snow stab someone in an alley. Snow’s gonna pop a cap in the informer because of it.
ALREADY! That’s damn skippy.😎✊🏿
leaky (bleeding) boom boom (gunshots 2) down (your dead)
Everything in the 80's and 90's seemed easier. Social media destroyed the youth. Things were better without it.
So sad but true.
I mean...the song is about shooting snitches😂

Das facts
He is saying .. "a licky boom boom dem." Licky boom boom is Jamaican slang for putting a beat down or a hit on someone and "dem" is slang for them.

I thought he said Eglington ave Toronto
Born and raised in Allanbury Gardens in North York near what is now don mills station

He says he's from "Etobicoke" (pronounced "Etobicoe"), a suburb of Toronto. Apparently, he grew up in the Jamaican immigrant community.
No, Scarborough. East side, not West side. But yes, a Jamaican neighbourhood
I have no idea now where I got 'Etobicoke' - I probably meant Scarborough ... ! Edit: I guess when he says he was 'raised in the ghetto', I must have heard that as 'raised in Etobicoke' LOL!

Informer the one who came from Jamaica
She wasn’t suspecting that. 😂
5th grade i bought this on cassette. Snow was bout that life. Licky boom boom down = take out a snitch. Snow was in prison for homicide
So many people miss when he says The one Toronto
He said people say i born in Jamaica
From the one Toronto!
I’ve heard it from back in the gap in the year of 1992 and it was off the chain then and it’s still off the chain now.😎

Love the faces! You seem like you'd be fun to hang with!
I'm heading back to Jamaica for a lil vacation. I'm going to hit up the locals and find out if they ever heard of this guy
I think he lives down there now and has a radio show. Last I knew.
It was the biggest selling single in dancehall history. Snow is huge in Jamaica.

Snow will give Eminem a run for his money!
