Jim Carrey’s savage AF critique of mass market rap in the early 90s

I, by coincidence, listened to Snows Informer earlier today as its part of a How I met Your Mother joke and I like that joke.
So that why Im here right now. The song is really good and pretty tight (am 19 btw) so I already think its a bad choice to choose it to riff on it as it is an artisticly solid product and not gibberish as Jim Carrey here trys to portait it.
But futrthermore Jim Carrey try’s to make the point of “culturael appropiation” which just hasn’t aged well with our time as I think it’s fair to say that we are the point where we say that genereally the sharing of culture is a good thing. We especially wouldn’t condem someone purely on their skincolor, with real ties to that culture, like Snow is.
Lonely Island did a similar [version](https://youtu.be/TcK0MYgnHjo?si=riLzt2GpUGqsWQpR), even make the same cool runnings joke.
Wow, this is Pre Ace Ventura, cast on In Living Color Jim Carrey.
Damn talented.
Seeing an In Living Color parody of Informer called a ”critique of mass market rap “ is technically correct but makes me feel very very old.
You’re gonna love Homie The Clown.
The white 90s version of *Dumb It Down* lol
No he’s just making fun of Snow
Bro rocks the circle glasses incredibly well
Would love to see him roast Chet Hanks!
[He of course had already slammed Vanilla Ice](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BTJ_n9Oqs0)
In living color was money
That scream as the black guys walk up to him 🤣
Snow was actually the real deal though. Got caught up in the Vanilla Ice hate though because he was a white boy.
are we not giving In Living Color credit for this?
since we’re on the subject of Informer by Snow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNpRMfiwwlM
Informer is actually a dope song and I’ll die on that hill.
He sounds so much like Weird Al here, it’s kinda uncanny
J Lo!
I had a fucking shit ass day…from wake till home from work…horrid. I’ve never seen this, and (spelling my age) used to watch ILC all the time, but yet have never seen this…thank you for a literal lol, and better end to my day and (maybe) start to one tomorrow…thanks again OP, have a great one
I fucking loved in living color
Snow would beat your ass with a tire iron.
lol all you Canadians getting mad
I feel like it’s underappreciated how great In Living Color was.
Snow was a real one though.
There was a word that was really common in the 90’s and I’m too afraid to ask.
Seth Green played one in Cant Hardly Wait.
Are people even allowed to say that now or do you get cancelled?
Kids and teens of today will never understand how amazing it was to grow up in the 90s to witness things like this.
Oh man so savage. Savage to nth degree.
*sees Jim Carrey wearing a question mark*
The thing is that Snow is from a predominately Jamaican neighborhood in Toronto, his accent is real, he grew up with all Jamaican people. He also was falsely accused of murder which is what the song is about. Anyone from the rap scene back then will tell you snow was a real one. He’s nothing like Jim Carrey is describing.
The Popeye part killed me. So real.
