Lanez is still dat Nigga

Yall act like u never been blackout drunk b4

They did tory dirty

2013-2015 that tape with shlohmo and those weekly tracks with play Picasso

He seemed like the perfect successor for Drake to sign to OVO

I think it would have been better for both of them if he did but I guess they were beefing back then

Would have given Drake a protege to creatively build off of that could also actually rap and Tory Lanez would have had more "prestige" to his brand

He was known as a super biter of Drake and Weeknd but around 2015 he started gaining momentum, I remember he had a few decent moments on some Meek tapes then he had the play Picasso weekly/nostalgic jams YouTube channel tracks and then once he got that deal and came out with those first major label songs niggas kinda forgot he had the biter persona lol

No.

Like this era of Tory I feel like was lost when he signed his deal and came out with that song sampling the reggae joint or whatever it was

This version of him was way more interesting to me, like a hybrid of Drake, Weeknd and Future back in 2015 when you still kinda had to have a lil sauce to even come up with and execute that combination lol

These little moments/dynamics are what make 2015 >>> 2016 before everything jumped the shark and 2016 XXL freshman made all these tropes kinda common

Niggas had to be there, glad I'm not the only one who remembers

Shame niggas only know him for the Chixtape flips and Meg situation now

Sidenote I wonder if niggas used to pay for those nostalgic jams and majestic casual uploads bc those could kinda jumpstart your career back then lol

We need new versions of those but everything oversaturated now and it would just instantly become a label/collective vs an actual tastemaking platform

I almost got tory on a beat once

Tory Lanez was actually very tapped in to that scene at the time. He was working with Cashmere Cat and Shlomo and of course Benny Blanco

Damn. He never should have stopped working with them and play picasso, they should have been his 40/T-Minus/vinylz/boi 1da etc

Especially cashmere cat and shlohmo. I think cashmere cat hasn't posted or dropped anything since 2017

always a terrible artist

i got tricked into listening to that prom night project he made before he went to jail and its seriously one of the worst things ive ever had the displeasure of listening to

Tory and Uzi's invocation of prom late into their 20s was...interesting.

my intro to tory was his first album where he was copying drake/kendrick so blatantly it was a joke

every song was a banger, he was in f***ing flow state on all that s*** blacking out on everything

betrayed himself for nothing award

had some cool mixtapes and I Told You is kind of a guilty pleasure but everything after 2020 is either mid or terrible

Nope

For sure people paid for them, majestic casual also offered me a terrible record deal in 2020 that I turned down lol

controlla remix>>

Banger

In for it will always be my going out song

I can't say that word but I agree with this post

Bowel movement

Cashmere Cat has been on a ton of records over the past few years he’s just quiet lol
