Dude comes across as the archetypal clown whose image is an embarrassingly forced response to growing up a lame. Nothing about this dude comes across as genuine, his persona a mishmashed concoction of multiple trends he’s adopted and distilled into his own identity. I know I’m coming across as a hater, but I can’t help but look at this dude and wish failure upon him. :yeshrug:
fukk out my forum fakkit. :camby:

i guess. I just think real dudes see through cats like Tory immediately, without second of hesitation. He’s not even a square, which I would respect him for, since even Styles P raps about being a square dude who went street. If Tory had the honesty of a Styles P, I’d respect him, but he parades himself as this street dude when it’s so transparently untrue. :mjgrin:

That’s entertainment though. It’s hard to know who is real unless you are around them in different situations.

All these entertainers are selling a version of themselves with their content.

I'm from Canada and still didn't like him

Until I saw he could actually spit on Sway



Now I'll check for him on occasion

If he embraced his true self (cornyness) he could be as big as Travis, maybe not Drake but hed be up there.

He insists on being this Ali G character tho
