    Nothing breaks stereotypes like a white Canadian reggae rapper

    • @maxpeck7382
      @maxpeck7382 3 роки тому +2

      Not exactly, because outside of him how many white reggae rappers have you seen since him and how many is the world turning out right now? There is always at least one or more white person who latches on to the music culture of a group and becomes known within it, but that doesn't always translate to cred as being totally style legit.
      White people within groups be it the one white guy who can dunk on all the Black guys playing at a street court, to this white guy who can reggae rap are anomalies that don't disprove the overall stereotype which reveals a rather true lack of inclusion picture. Don't pretend that minority race communities and their music cultures don't have many who treat an emerging white boy talent as token pet poser trying to style and profile within "their" racial community art form. btw.. Snow ended up no lifetime career superstar within the genre from this one catchy song.

      Actually he grew up in Scarborough/North York a borough just north of Toronto. Neighborhood was an area just south of Fairview Mall. Allendale. When he’s rhyming about east detention it’s a local jail located at Birchmount Rd. & Eglinton Ave. in which he had been incarcerated.

    It’s kind of hard to catch but Snow addresses in the seventh verse where he’s from-
    “But the in an a-out a dance an they say where you come from-a?
    People dem say ya come from Jamaica
    But me born an' raised in the ghetto that I want ya to know-a
    Pure black people man that's all I man know
    Yeah me shoes are a-tear up an'a me toes just a show-a
    Where me-a born in are de one Toronto”
    What a fever dream of a time to experience music, I was living in England when this song came out and it was insane how much it was played on the radio ❤️

    "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!

      It's also an example of why multiculturalism works and is awesome. It scares a lot of white Americans, but here in Canada, I love it. A short 3 or 4 minute drive and I'm within striking distance of almost any cuisine on earth - and I'm not talking Taco Bell. I mean authentic food. I grew up a South Asian community as a white guy and I can't go too long without a vindaloo, pakoras, biryani or butter chicken. I knew people like Ms Marvel in high school. Full of personality. Must be the amazing food that actually has flavour.

    He's Canadian. The cultural diversity on offer in Toronto is off the charts. Snow is a product of the collision of cultures that exists there. He grew up in a heavily Jamaican-Canadian section of town. This song is a fusion of reggae, dancehall, rap, rock, and pop.

    He is not from Jamaica. He's actually from Toronto. Toronto has quite a big Jamaican population that has gone on to influence Toronto street culture. Much of Toronto slang is a mixture Jamaican and Canadian English. Snow grew up with many Jamaican friends and that's how he became a reggae rapper.
