Big up Leon's! I worked with Prince in the carpet department. I had just bought my 1200's and was trying to mix New Edition with Planet rock. I learned a lot from Marvin, he was very generous to me. Even spent some time spinning at his place off Dawes Rd. Rob "Thee Controller" worked there at the time too. We went to DMC Canada1989 (I have the VHS somewhere). Prince was constantly talking Snow in those days. All he would do was promote him. We'd even call him from Leon's while Snow was in jail. I wish he called me to testify. I would have paid my own way. This was a great interview and it's nice to see my old friend hasn't changed over the last 30+ years. Looking good bro, class act. Chinese Laundry and Manifest Destiny changed my life. Prince you still have those mix tapes? I can't find mine...
Maybe someone should post those old videos of him and Snow working out his style and the songs etc? Sounds like Marvin should be paid for all of his work!!!!
Sounds like Marvin is a lil sourpuss b*tch - if he was worth a dollar, he'd capitalize on it as he went forward. This man wanted a cut from a one hit wonder, that's all.
@@SR-te2db lol he was only the guy who gave SNOW a name. but he had nothing to do with Informer Song..the one who made the money out of that 8 million sold worldwide (informer)...were the label Eastwest..the only connection they have is friendship..the Labels destroyed their friendship, separate em both.
Excellent interview. Interviewer did a very thorough job, perfect mix of listening, questioning, reacting, adding insight. Guest was a fountain of information. Intelligent, measured, great recollection. Very engaging..
Prince don't never leave your heart 💚at home dem heart is life and reason everything happpen in first place ..just make sure next time don't let nobody f u
Amazing interview.. I grow up listen Snow and Prince 1 Album... a big piece and my life, A Classic ,but "Murder Love"Album was good but , they miss the Prince Vibe and flava Soul. My first Song i heard was "Runaway" What a memories!!!!🎧🍷🎶🥥💔
20,000 advancement aint shit , what does Marvin really want when its said & done . Yes he helped Snow but the talent is what got them both there , Snow is still working till this day trying to make good music , while Marvin is still living in the past , talking about the would ofs , should ofs , could ofs
Well, it he own damn fault for make Darrin O’Brien into an artist. That Darrin didn’t really want at all as it also Marvin Prince, leaving Darrin with someone who going to screw him over. So, it he fault make someone. Who never wanted to be a star in the first place.
I see you like the fact that a white person who sings reggae (Snow) ripped of a black man who is Jamaican, this is so racist, this man needs JUSTICE a movie needs to be made about this.
@@videoschistosos7077 you are right but he needs to be compensated for all he's done for Snow thats not a informer you used informer in the wrong context
...i don't like these type of stories...people let money f up friendships..u could tell prince hurt but worst part is how snow mom lied on the stand...I think there were other forces behind it besides snow ..like the labels and Mc shan ...shoulda sued the labels instead of snow personally ..they was both kidz and snow was literally in jail most of time neither 1 of them had a clue how dirty the industry is..interviewer did good job asked all right questions
Well that took the shine off my Informer reminiscing, just wonder why lawyer didn't offer a no win no fee with unlawful judgements, possession of indisputable facts
@@whythatspreposterous If his lawyer didn't enforce the ruling the lawyers an idiot, his fee depends on doing so, then it's the Repo man, never heard such rubbish
Its very sad money separated Snow and Dj Marvin Prince . It sounds like they were both young and didnt know the buisness but Snow was tooken care of and Marvin wasnt . I dont put the complete blame on Snow , ignorance sometimes is at fault . Im Sure Snow wish things could be better . I dont even think Snow got millions himself , yet prince just wants what he thinks he deserves.
Plz make it up wi Darrin Marvin especially the way things are now life really is too short and money is the route to all evil love and good memories override everything in the end plz put the animosity to bed if for nothing or nobody do it for me as I have learned forgiveness is the key to happiness and peace! Love to u both X
Snow needs to do whats right and pay Prince, from what i've seen from the interviews if it was not for Prince there would be no Snow, Snow is very ungrateful no wonder Snow fell off & Daddy Yankee remake of Informer couldn't revive Snow career.......he's still a one hit wigger

What a memory, super smart dude
Maybe someone should post those old videos of him and Snow working out his style and the songs etc? Sounds like Marvin should be paid for all of his work!!!!
Yep! But those unfair judges thought otherwise...
@@rihannadiamonds2504 he did get paid for the touring its not like he made no money
@@videoschistosos7077 According to Prince, he was only given per diems while on tour.
Sounds like Marvin is a lil sourpuss b*tch - if he was worth a dollar, he'd capitalize on it as he went forward. This man wanted a cut from a one hit wonder, that's all.

Marvin you should write a book or something man this stories are craazy
I av zero clue who Marvin Prince is... But all I know is, he is looking dammmn fine!!
They need to make a movie about this and call it "RETRIBUTION" this story is crazy
Excellent interview. Interviewer did a very thorough job, perfect mix of listening, questioning, reacting, adding insight. Guest was a fountain of information. Intelligent, measured, great recollection.
Very engaging..
Much appreciated!
Appreciate the feed back
yes...Great Job ....both of u Gentlemen
Agreed
God Bless you Prince! Thank you for sharing your story
Your blessed man! Life is not all about money… you have given back so much more!
Respect for telling the story. As you said; I heard you won the case but never knew you never got the money. Snow a real snake
I’ll never forget informer was a hit!
Thank you for sharing your story Marvin
Prince don't never leave your heart 💚at home dem heart is life and reason everything happpen in first place ..just make sure next time don't let nobody f u
wow thats some crazy story. its always money that turns things sour
A fantastic and informative interview!
I lived there back in the day (1971) and DJ plus live music......
Amazing interview.. I grow up listen Snow and Prince 1 Album... a big piece and my life, A Classic ,but "Murder Love"Album was good but , they miss the Prince Vibe and flava Soul.
My first Song i heard was "Runaway"
What a memories!!!!🎧🍷🎶🥥💔
OMG...what a story, can't believe that almost the same thing happened to me 10 y ago with a singer...🙁
This is a major education.
Respect!
20,000 advancement aint shit , what does Marvin really want when its said & done . Yes he helped Snow but the talent is what got them both there , Snow is still working till this day trying to make good music , while Marvin is still living in the past , talking about the would ofs , should ofs , could ofs
So why didnt prince just get his publishing from the records he worked on.
Regarding the $1 dollar in the contract, I saw in a movie (so it may also be inaccurate) but that this was done to make a contract legally binding.
Thank you Sir Prince 👑 ! Dope
Interesting. Members of Onyx were barbers b4 they got known and there actually is a barber shop called Onyx in Toronto
Look at that. Onyx was on Math Hoffa podcast the other day talking about how they used to cut hair.
Brother looks young still
This host is amazing listener and knowledgeable about the topic and guest
Well, it he own damn fault for make Darrin O’Brien into an artist.
That Darrin didn’t really want at all as it also Marvin Prince, leaving Darrin with someone who going to screw him over.
So, it he fault make someone. Who never wanted to be a star in the first place.
this brethren seems like a informer
I see you like the fact that a white person who sings reggae (Snow) ripped of a black man who is Jamaican, this is so racist, this man needs JUSTICE a movie needs to be made about this.
@@blisseso6601 yeah i get what u saying but if its not on paper legaly its hard
@@videoschistosos7077 you are right but he needs to be compensated for all he's done for Snow thats not a informer you used informer in the wrong context
@@blisseso6601 yeah...he definitely should...but probably won't saddly
Snow was in jail, how was snow suppose to know anything about paperwork
@djvlad Snow got a lot of explaining to do, I believe dude
Wow this is crazy price a real man nothing put respect u beleaved in a friend and they shit on u like snow did
No Mention Of MC Shan ?

Nah one still has to stand on all 10
Well that took the shine off my Informer reminiscing, just wonder why lawyer didn't offer a no win no fee with unlawful judgements, possession of indisputable facts
He did win, he just didn't see any of the money.
@@whythatspreposterous If his lawyer didn't enforce the ruling the lawyers an idiot, his fee depends on doing so, then it's the Repo man, never heard such rubbish
@@marcot5386 Verdict was overturned after Snow appealed

Nuff man forget bout Shine head! When Drake buss I used to remind people about Shine head.
This isn't about money this is about character which buddy lacked from the beginning.
YHWH'S GOT YOUR MONEY, PRINCE... PERFECT LOVE.
Snow needs to do whats right and pay Prince, from what i've seen from the interviews if it was not for Prince there would be no Snow, Snow is very ungrateful no wonder Snow fell off & Daddy Yankee remake of Informer couldn't revive Snow career.......he's still a one hit wigger
This story needs to hit Jamaica and when it does Snow is finished!!!
Haters

Marv..how much you figure snow made????
Why can't you go after him in canada??
Snow had the talent and the street cred
And this dude was????
Big up Chinese Laundry and Dr Hyde

Very unfortunate situation. Snow will suffer
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🔥🔥🔥
Does Micheal Jordan basketball high school b ball couch go on podcasts and say Micheal Jordan is who he is because of him lol smh

Marvin has zero tallent. it was *ALL* snow. this guy is lame for wanting any money
🤣

@@ThaDirence exactly!!! He's the One that believed in Snow and put him on the map!!!!!
Individuals don’t win, teams do. But often one individual gets all the credit and spotlight.
Prince put him on, bottom line
