As a precocious 7 year old, I often had crazy and slightly
eccentric dreams and ambitions. Whilst my peers were content
to pick their nose and play hopscotch, I was preparing to launch
my music career as a pretend emcee who rapped in a quasi-Jamaican
accent in such a way that made it difficult to understand
what I was actually saying.
Of course, my dreams of global stardom died the day Snow
emerged with his one and only hit single, Informer.
Snow - Killing Shaun's Dream.
This music video is noted for the dodgy early 90's fashion, which
consisted of overly large shirts and tortoise shelled spectacles,
which were all the rage at the time. Also notice the obligatory
cool black friends for street cred purposes, although
they seem to be drinking champagne in what looks to be a tiny broom
closet, so the budget for this music video must have been fairly
smallish. No Malibu mansion this time around Snow, maybe for your
next hit single. Oh, wait.
To this day no one really knows what the f**k Snow is actually saying.
Judging by the video, I believe it has something to do with jail
time and sleeping with lycra-wearing large black women.
But I could be wrong.
Strangely enough, Snow never quite reached the heights of his first
single, and went on to make mediocre pop music in the Canadian market,
where he can still be found to this day.
