Really, you just have to sit back and say to yourself, “I lick he bum bum down.” It truly was the “C’est La Vie” of 1993. The rest of “Informer” is a word cloud-esque collage of musings about his girl, stories about his upbringing and one or two other examples of police up in dude’s business. Snow isn’t going to elaborate anymore, either, though, especially when it comes to his time behind bars. It’s more of a gripe.īut Snow isn’t going to cooperate like that! Especially not with the cops!
Although, currently, Snow’s beef is that they won’t let him call his lady friend, the one “me callin’ a the one Tammy.” To be fair, all things considered, that’s not much of a legitimate beef. Seems like it’s not just an American problem.
“So, bigger they are they think they have more power/There on the phone me say that on every hour/Me for want to use it once and-a me call me lover/Lover who me callin’-a the one Tammy”īeef with the cops. And they crawled through the window? What the heck, is the SWAT team present, too? What did you do, Snow? I’m thinking you might have done more than just “stab someone down the lane.” You, sir, have some explaining to do and please, if it could be even slightly coherent, that would be great. They blew down your door, Snow? I would have expected more from Canadian cops based solely on Kids in the Hall skits. “Police-a them-a they come and-a they blow down me door/Break in an’ crawl through, through my window/So they put me in the back the car at the station/From that point on I reach my destination/Well the destination reached in down-a East detention/Where they whip down me pants look up me bottom” Alright, seems like a roundabout way to get there, but moving on. I still don’t know what he means by “I lick he bum bum down,” but upon further investigation, it means he’s gonna kick your ass (give your bum some licks). I now regret using the phrase “let me take a stab at this” and, once again, I apologize to Snow. Let me take a stab at this and say that it seems like our friend Snow has been blamed for something, specifically stabbing someone down the street. “You no say “Daddy Me Snow” me-a gon’ blam/I lick he bum bum down/’tective man they say, say “Daddy Me Snow” me stab someone down the lane/I lick he bum bum down” Can we get some clarification on the rest of the song’s lyrics? I bet Avery, too, would like “a likka boom boom down.”Īnd speaking of that, what the hell is Snow saying there? I bet you can’t guess where he got the inspiration for “Informer?” Yeah, seems like Steven Avery isn’t the only one out there who feels he’s been done dirty by the justice system. Should I have mentioned that? Well, now you know. Wait, I skipped over Snow being thrown in jail for allegedly trying to kill someone. A few years later, 12 Inches of Snow was released, an album that included “Informer,” and would go on to sell more than a million copies. Well, actually, the legend was born when Snow hooked up with a Jamaican-born DJ, Marvin Prince, who began working with the rapper/singer. This family introduced a young O’Brien to reggae and bestowed upon him the nickname “Snow.” A legend was born. In said neighbourhood, there was a large population of Jamaicans due to the immigration policies of then Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, and O’Brien’s neighbors were a Jamaican family. Snow happened because a white Canadian fella named Darrin O’Brien grew up in a housing project outside of Toronto, meaning that he was exposed to what sociologists call a “diverse neighborhood” or because it’s Canada, a “diverse neighbo urhood.” (You can’t sleep on those “u’s” when talking about Canada.)
