“Informer” spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the US Billboard 100. The record this song debuted on, “12 inches of Snow” sold over 8 million copies worldwide, so there certainly was some success. Back then, if you’d not seen the video and instead heard this for the first time on the radio, you’d have had a hard time believing that this fast flowing Jamaican patois dialect was being performed by a white guy from the North York dist. of Toronto.
Woke up, 7 AM on a cool Ontario morning. waited in line for three hours @ RadioShack to open up , Almonte 🏴 Ontario , too obtain. get my little paws on this album. It’s right up there with Snoop Dogg. What’s my name release? Or more over , Nothing but a G thang Dre release. , to which I always enjoyed .incredible piece of hip-hop, history. Shan!!! I believe made this possible for us guys. However , Don’t ever quote me, Uncle Shan, or the Snowman regarding the Lyrical content folks , if this songs not played at my funeral? I’ll roll in my grave! FULL STOP.
Another touch in this track. , you could LL cool J directly in the middle of this track for some reason 🤔. Some would wonder why. Just such an astute! Delivery. Shan that that rhyme skill and set to Kats like LL. Smooth as high end glass… Queens I think?? Correct me if I’m wrong please. ..
I’ll add to this… Cool story. While doing time in Edmonton, met this Cool kat from Montreal , Jamaican 🇯🇲 immigrant.. 2004. Filled me in as to what the snow man was delivering. caught celly one day singing it! I asked! He broke down the particulars of the track I so very much loved for so many years. Respect 🫡.

If Rockstar Games makes a Grand theft Auto that takes place in 1993 this should be the main theme and featured on one of the radio stations.
They should start making rap records like this.
