Talk:Snow (musician)

replies: text: It's very suspicious that this part was left out. Or was it even deleted? I remember reading an article about his crime and thought it was here on Wikipedia.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.253.186.62 (talk) 19:50, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

message: I've tried to confirm the claim that "Informer" holds some kind of sales record but I can't. I don't think it is true and I can't find anything to back it up so maybe it should be removed?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.158.28.28 (talk) 21:46, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Guinness Claims 

message: The article does not at present mention (not even indirectly) the song "Informer" -- Snow's major, if not his only, hit and claim to fame -- there are external links related to it, but nothing in the main text.  Can someone please add something? Thanks... --Cotoco 10:45, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks to user 66.36.149.132 for fixing this; apparently the song was previously mentioned, but someone changed the title to "Bulger". 66.36.149.132 reverted it to "Informer". --Cotoco 17:35, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  No mention of "Informer" 

message: I've had to revert entirely too many people who added :Category:White rappers to this article, so I'm going to clarify this again: Snow is not a rapper, he's a reggae singer. I know "Informer" was done in a kind of speak-singing style that some people parsed as rap, but it wasn't rap; that's a normal reggae style. It's no more correct to classify Snow as a rapper than it would be to classify Buju Banton, Shaggy or Beenie Man that way. Bearcat 18:24, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Other than the fact they are both from Toronto and are professional recording artists, I question the relationship of Darren O'Brien to Steven Page of Barenaked Ladies. Can anyone provide a reliable reference?--SidP 20:22, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Snow music.jpg

message: Well, I tried linking to a vid of the parody and that was reverted by a robot (wtf), and now I'm getting shit because someone wants a source.  Nice Catch-22 as always, wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by  129.71.73.243 (talk • contribs)  01:15, 14 December 2008 
: The disputed text is, in part, "Snow faced criticism from many of the blacker aspects of the American community". Sourcing this to a single sketch on In Living Color is not sufficient for the purposes of Wikipedia's policies of verifiability and no original research, especially when a biography of a living person is involved.
