I told you

"As a reviewer of contemporary hip-hop and R&B music, I've been a bit hard on Tory Lanez. In a number of reviews, I've used him as an example of the most insidious and generic form of modern hip-hop. And to this point, his music has largely inhabited the space between Future, Travis Scott, and The Weeknd (which is to say, an increasingly narrow space). This being the case, I was curious to see how a Tory Lanez full-length would look to distinguish itself from an album by, say, dvsn or Roy Woods. I Told You answers that question very simply: it doesn't. Surprisingly enough though, that may be its saving grace".

"On his debut album, the Toronto artist provides his origin story, and proves just how hard it is to escape from the long shadow of Drake ... Tory Lanez is a promising talent who has a long way to go before he can be considered Drake's peer, but he's already nailed at least one Drake-ism: the bloated, overwrought album".
