Rob: Tory man I know you play ball. I see you on the court a lot but did you get into
2K?
Tory: Of course. You get into taking Ls?
Rob: Oh my god. He's already starting with the talk.
Tory: Get off me. Get off me, son.
Rob: What's up? This is Rob Markman and I'm here with my guy, Tory Lanez. Now he's been
talking that talk like he really really nice in the NBA 2K19 on the Xbox. I got to show
him what I'm made of okay? He about to get this work on the big screen.
Tory: I'm going to turn him into Rob Lossman on Twitter.
Rob: You about to take this L dog.
Rob: Tory Lanez. Come out to play!
Tory: Rob Lossman on Twitter. He already took an L, already took a loss. We'll call him
Rob Lossman for the day. You ready? I'm gonna put the popcorn there, you ready?
Rob: I been ready.
Tory: All right.
Rob: What team?
Tory: Cool. I was just about to ask, like what team you about to use?
Tory: I want you to pick the best team.
Rob: I'm going to vibe off of you.
Tory: These my guys right here. I don't even be playing no games with nobody else. You
know what I'm saying? If it's not the Bucks it ain't nothing.
Rob: I'll start with the Celts. Why not?
Tory: Pick anybody. Don't matter.
Rob: There it go.
Tory: So this the new one, too, right?
Rob: Yeah, this is 2K19. So.
Tory: Yeah.
Rob: I know you heavy into basketball. You see your social media. You playing against
all the rappers. I see you play against Quevo. I see you and Drake on the court together.
You and Tekashi 69.
Rob: Every time you're on the court it go viral, man, no matter which way it go.
Tory: Nah, for real. I think to some extent I think all rappers want to be ballers. And
all ballers kind of want to be rappers on the super low.
Rob: Right.
Tory: You know?
Tory: Come on. That's what I'm doin to you first ... Don't let this be
that type of game dawg.
Rob: Come on man, We're just warming up, what are you doing?
Tory: Don't let this be this type of game where we just get draining from the top.
Tory: Alright alright.
Rob: I was going to be super humble, man.
Tory: Me, too. I was going to be super humble, too. I was going to be super humble, too.
Tory: But you know what I'm saying? But I
see it's not going to be one of them type of games. Like, give me that.
Rob: Who's the baller that you most identify with in the league?
Tory: Probably Westbrook.
Rob: I mean he averages a triple double, so he can score, he can rebound, he can assist.
And it kind of reminds me of you because you can rap, you can sing, you can dance hall.
You've got the Spanish joint coming out. You really kind of push the limits of if music
was a game there's a lot of aspects to your game.
Tory: Yeah exactly. You know I always tell people one day I'm going be the biggest artist
in the world. Because of that I know I got to do different things. I got to be versatile
in so many other ways. You feel me? I got to continually make these records and make
music that can touch everybody. You know what I'm saying?
Rob: Do you speak Spanish? Like how do you converse?
Tory: I'm not fluent. I'm learning on an app called Duo Lingo. That's why the record, "Pa Mi"
with Ozuna, that's why that record sounds like that because those are like the first
couple words that I learned off the app. Lo Siento, you know, esta noche, you know what
I mean? So, like, these were like the first couple words that I learned -
Rob: You just said I gotta make a song about that.
Tory: Yeah. I was just like you know what I know these five words. I'm going to make
something lit out of this.
Rob: How do you like that? Huh?
Tory: Alright Alright! You brought yourself back. You brought yourself back.
Tory: You was falling off for a second. You was falling way off.
Tory: This is one of those you just gotta stay like -
Rob: You trapped me.
Tory: Dunked on him!
Rob: I'll just do the same against you on the other side. Man, you just gave it right
back. Tory: I'm out here just banging on everything.
It's lit. It's lit. Hug your Xbox controller tight. Hug it tight! Hug that controller tight!
Rob: You know man you kind of at a point in your career and we were talking about this
a little bit. You addressed it on the last album I hate to say it, when everything starts
to become a story. Everything in your life, whether it's the issue with you and Drake
or you and Travis or you spending 35K at the store.
Tory: Yeah, it's always something.
Rob: When did you first notice that change, like was there a shift when you like oh wow
they care about more, they care about the music but now they care about everything that
I do.
Tory: I think probably when I got signed at Interscope and then like I think at that point
in social media like the memes were like just becoming super popular, like to have unlimited
memes on one thing but it's always a story into everything no matter, you know what you
got going on. So you just gotta kinda let it be.
Rob: Nah, what does matter is this new project "Love me now?" .
Tory: Yeah it's called "Love me now?" With a question mark because I feel like I did
everything as far as like you know the videos, the features ... and things that people wanted
me to do and just things I wanted to give my fans and so I called it "Love me now?".
Tory: What's up? What's up? Ain't nobody scared of you bro.
What's really good? What's good? What's good? What's sup? What's up where you going?
Rob: Ah.
Rob: What you left your feet for? Why you scared?
Rob: Why you jumping for? You feelin froggy?
Tory: I'm hitting you with the buzzer beater right now.
Rob: Look Look Look!
Rob: I was up four, you down played that, that four times six at half time. These are
scary hours right here.
Tory: I don't know man.
Rob: I just want you to know man.
Tory: The three points isn't really classified as scary hours. You gotta be like double digits
or something like -
Rob: Okay. Chris Brown is on the album right? Trey Songs, PnB Rock
Tory: Yeah, yeah you got ...
Rob: 2 Chainz
Tory: Gunna, Lil Baby, Bryson Tiller. It's more of a not really just like "Memories Don't Die"
or an "I Told You", it's more like a mix tape. More like a new Toronto or something like
that where all your favorite artists that you been wanted me to work on but they weren't
on any other albums.
Rob: Right.
Tory: Stuff like that you know? I'm not overthinking nothing this time. Just if it works, it works.
If it doesn't, I don't care. I just want my fans to have it.
Rob: "Keep in Touch" with Bryson Tiller.
Tory: Yeah.
Rob: I gotta know the story around this one. 'Cause I feel like when you two first came
out, it was around the same time that y'all ascension started. So it was a lot of comparisons.
Was it really competition between you and Bryson at the time or was it just a media
thing?
Tory: I wasn't in competition with Bryson Tiller, at all. Honestly when it comes to
new age R&B, that's probably like one of my favorite artists. I didn't look at myself
in competition with anybody. I think the only closest thing at that time that people would
say at that time was like you guys are actually competing ... or not competing against each
other but actually had some sort of feud that the world knew about was me and Drake but-
Tory: That wasn't, you know? We were just ... we had our own issues and then we realized
later on it wasn't really about the music. You know?
Rob: Man, I definitely hope we get to hear more from you and Bryson 'cause just that
... dope chemistry. I know he a gamer too. We should've invited him out too man. Maybe
he can get this work too.
Tory: He really enjoys video games. That's one thing I know about the kid.
Rob: Alright man look. Man enough talking man. I know halftime man. Your thumbs alright?
Tory: My thumbs is hurting a lil' bit, I ain't gonna lie.
Rob: Halftime we going 3rd quarter. Let's go son.
Tory: Let's get it. Let's get it. Let's get it.
Rob: Make 'em dance.
Tory: Give me that. Alright, let me turn it up on you bro.
Rob: Please?
Tory: I'm over here just letting you be.
Rob: Oh that's what it is?
Tory: No let me try turning it up. All jokes aside. I can't ... I'm not gon' let you.
Rob: We ain't on 10 yet?
Tory: Yeah I ain't gonna let you do this bro. I'm gonna try.
Rob: No, nothing no way. Akademiks if you listening, you need to cover this. I wanna
see this on your Twitter.
Tory: You wanna see that on your Twitter?
Rob: Yeah go head. You still down 10.
Tory: I'm down 8, alright?
Rob: My bad.
Drake Video: You see me and this guy right here? We had problems with each other. We
have never even met each other. I've met the man and he's a great dude. So I want you to
make some noise for somebody that's carrying this city on his back, all across the mother
f----ing world, a young king. He goes by the name of Tory Lanez. This is that real city
Rob: When you and Drake had got past y'all issue, you said that you and Drake coming
together was a big moment for music.
Tory: Yeah definitely.
Rob: So the number one question is, when we gonna get that music?
Tory: We gotta lock in. We gotta lock in. We've been in the studio before once, just
like listening and hearing stuff and hearing vibes and just experiment and listen to the
vibes and stuff like that. But we gotta just lock in.
Rob: You refused to be stopped. Don't let anybody stop you.
Tory: Facts.
Rob: And it kinda makes me think about the way you grew up. I mean you overcame a lot.
Your mom passed away when you were very young. A lot of people kinda counted you out early.
Tory: A lot of people just kind of left me for dead. When my mom passed away and I was
like 11 years old. I'm the baby of six kids, I was just by myself. So I was taught to do
certain things a certain way and like you literally can do anything that ... like anything!
I swear on my record, I have 133 suspensions and I've been expelled from every single school
that I've went to from grade six up. I never finished. I just dropped out.
Rob: So the sixth grade ... tenth grade?
Tory: I dropped out in 10th grade. It's so many things that people told me that I was
never gonna do. Like look me in my face, crushed my dreams and like gave me the facts on why
I couldn't do this and that.
Rob: The things that you're doing right now.
Tory: I didn't think I was gonna be able to do this. But it shows me that if I put my
mind to something, I can.
Rob: What's your prediction? We going into the fourth quarter man.
Tory: I'm winning this.
Tory: Come on, why do you even play with me bro?
Rob: I like to win
Tory: You was talking it the whole game. Bout to bring him back down to size.
Tory: AHHH! Why you do this to him Tory?
Tory: I ain't playing no games with nobody. We in the league! We in the house!
Rob: This is the blasphemous
Tory: For all of my exes out there, I just want y'all to understand that this is a learning
experience that no matter what happens in life, you left me and I'm still gonna win
at everything. You feel? Like that's how I'm feeling right now. You know what I mean?
Rob: You giving the speech already?
Tory: Yeah my speech has been like I been had this prepared. I was writing this on the
plane.
Tory: Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Now it's getting crazy. Oh give me that.
Tory: Blowed it. Ah you blew it.
Tory: OHHHH!
Tory: Ariba!
Tory: Can you get a zoom in on his face?
Rob: Ahhh.
Tory: Yo for the rest of this game, I'm gonna look this way.
Rob: Cut it out.
Tory: I'm gonna look this way for the rest of the game.
Rob: Oh my God. You're the worst!
Tory: To all of my good friends at Xbox, 2K thank you for making this moment happen. Oh
it's done? Oh I'm sorry I was too busy saying my-
Rob: It's in his contract we had to let him win.
Rob: Good game bro.
Tory: You can't count the underdog out man. As y'all can see, I'm gonna pull this out
of my pocket. It's very rare. This is the L that I just gave ... I'm sorry, it's supposed
to be this way? This is the L that I just gave to Rob Markman. Rob Markman on Twitter.
This is the L I just gave him today. He is not a genius 'cause he thought he could come
and rock with me in 2K and got his hat handed to him. It's lit! Hey!
Rob: Run that back.
