Tory Lanez sampled a lot of old songs on his Chixtape series and he believes it led to many others doing the same.

Of course, Tory's career still hasn't recovered after being accused of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. But his social media presence has kept his name in the press, which could be why he sends these kinds of tweets.
Would you say that he's influenced others to sample older songs?
