Produced by MC Shan, who also contributed a verse, the single was a chart-topping hit, spending seven consecutive weeks at number-one on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. It was his biggest hit in the United Kingdom, where it reached Number 2, behind two different number one singles. In 2007, the song was ranked No. 84 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90s.〔(100 Greatest Songs of the '90s )〕 Conversely, the song was included in Pitchfork Media's 2010 list of "the seven worst U.S. No. 1 singles of the 90s".〔http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/7856-a-feature-about-nothing-the-1990s-in-lists/2/〕
==History and content==
In 1992, while on vacation in Queens, New York, Snow met MC Shan, and the pair produced a four-song demo. MC Shan then introduced Snow to producer–managers Steve Salem and David Eng, who signed him to their Motor Jam Records company, and licensed the music to East West Records.〔 Shortly thereafter, Snow began serving an eight-month sentence in Toronto for assault.〔 "Informer" began getting radio and MuchMusic airplay while he was incarcerated.〔
The song is based on a separate 1989 incident when Snow was charged with two counts of attempted murder.〔 At the time, he was detained for a year in Toronto before the charges were reduced to aggravated assault, and he was eventually acquitted and freed.〔
In a 1999 interview, he referred to his criminal history as "a couple of bar fights."〔
