4.0 out of 5 stars This was a hot album back then!, September 19, 2004
Snow's 1993 album was very good, and funky on many levels! His merging of rap with reggae is very well done here. I still like Informer and Girl I've Been Hurt. But one of my favorites here is the ballad Hey Pretty Love, with its smooth sounds. Champion Sound and Lonely Sunday Morning are easily influenced by Bob Marley a little bit. This was a very addictive and catchy record back then and I'd still hear it again today!

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME ALBUM!!! MUST HAVE!!!, August 31, 2003
By A Customer
Snow is the greatest artist in the world. I love every track on this album. To me it seems like he wrote every song with his heart and not just to complete the CD. I have my favorites on this album. They are 1. Lady With A Red Dress 2. Ease Up 3. Informer 4. Hey, Pretty Love and all the rest are almost as good. This is the only album I have because I don't have money and most stores around here don't have his CD's. His songs are songs that I love to get up and dance to. I try my best to sing along but nope. If your a snow fan then this album should definitely be in your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please Listen, November 14, 2002
By A Customer
First off, Snow does not try to copy Vanilla Ice. Snow was given the name by MC Shan. If you know anything about him, it stands for Superb.Notorious.Outrageous.Whiteboy. So don't try to compare him with Vanilla Ice just because you think the names are similar!

Second, as far as him singing the lyrics "dibby-dibby", you should also know that it is not Snow that sings those lyrics. If you would have seen the video for Informer, you would have have noticed that. While Snow was in prison, the lyrics were added to it. He didn't know until after he got out and the single was already in circulation.

Now for the review. . . This CD has some of the best influential reggae stylings of that time. Because of Snow, the door was blown wide open for alot of other Reggae artists to make it to the main stream. It's got a good old "hip-hop, reggae, jazzy, kinda funky" feel to it! Snow was definitely ahead of his time. If you want a great CD to jam out to, this is the one to get!

People dislike SNOW because they think he is a wannabe. I think it is just jealousy. You try adapting R&B and reggae and pop all into 1 style. I think his music is ingenious. Read more

"Snow" is a joke. First of all, he pretends to be a big black Jamacian, but he's actually pure whitebread. Snow, your photo on the cover of the album tipped us off, buddy. Read more
