Snow Tha Product spoke with VladTV and discussed how she started rapping. She says Eminem had a big impact on her life.
“I just so happened to get into Eminem right around when I was going through a lot of stuff,” she says, “so the way that he made me feel or like Lauryn Hill or Big Pun or Missy [Elliott], the way they made me feel, like I wanted to do that.”
She explains that she wants to especially reach Latinas who Snow says don’t have anybody in the mainstream to look up to.
“I noticed that there was no Mexican chick that was rapping that I could be like, ‘Wow, I can relate to that,’” she says. “There’s a lot of stuff that goes on with being first generation Latino that nobody’s really expressing at least in the way I think it really should be expressed. So I’m kinda filling the void for now.”
The Atlantic Records rapper also says that she changed her initial stage name from Snow White to just Snow because of Disney. She expresses frustration over the company’s control over intellectual property even though the Disney movie is based on a Grimm fairy tale.
“To me, it’s like how are you gonna just steal a story or whatever I don’t know,” she says. “Probably paid like 20 pesos for it, whatever happened, and then blame people when they also want to use it? … You’re not that nice, Disney. You’re not that nice fucking Mickey.”

You can tell. She has that kind of lyricism. Put her on the right beats and she’ll take off in this game. I hope she becomes a artist that speaks on the issues of that first gen immigrant in a storytelling fashion over beats that I like but everything isn’t about me so she should just do her thing. She’ll break through.
She said 1st gen latino, not immigrant. That’s a terrible mistake, that could be a totally different thing. IDK
Shes fine and natural as fuck and she got flows. Minaj washed up ass better look out
at first I thought, oh yeah, that makes sense, you can’t just rip off a movie character like that. but then she made the good point that they didn’t create that shit. she should be able to use it, fuck them
I hope Snow hits it big. I want Nicki Minaj and that twitter cunt Azaelia Banks to get envious and bitter, which will give Snow even more exposure.
I like her music, I wish her luck in the business
Ugly girl, but she has some good songs.
Ugly girl? STFU you fucking clown. You couldn’t get a chick like that in your lifetime. Sad internet fucking nerd.
Who cares what she looks like dickhead. You must be new to music.
Yeah who ever try to say Snow the Product is ugly is a Hater and don’t know what a Good looking Woman is.
she’s got a great body the face look like a duck
I hope shorty gets good tracks and the right promotion because she has been dope! I may not be latino but I can understand her need to represent for her people.
Snow is a HUMAN, so judging her strictly upon her looks is an utter representation of archaic misogyny. She’s a gorgeous human being.
Eminem Inspired me to rap, but i am not very good
