A song he Made to make a beat.

[@griffpaint]

interviewer is so bad holy

[@misterIceymusik]

he laughs every time toro y moi says something

[@mimiLaPinkyest]

honestly red bull music doesn't have good quality of interviewers.

[@mattbogenschultz9771]

Kinda cringed when he said, “French touch”.

[@MOABeats92]

Is there an audience or did he kidnap Toro at gunpoint for this?

[@okonkwo94]

[@filmfanman65]

the interviewer writes for pitchfork --so basically the most insufferable type of person.

[@jpg963]

[@jaimerodriguez3096]

[@LarcTald]

worst interviewer of the decade.

[@GloriaSilerio12]

[@visible7044]

this sucks because this is like the only long form interview with toro and the interview guy is asking bad questions and doesn't get anything out of him.

[@kimyusaf9589]

The real interviewer is dead... This interviewer is just an awkward murderous fan,
He has been planning on switching places with the original interviewer ..for months

[@kevinpatel1143]

[@jpg963]

[@shmeek8937]

Terrible interviewer

[@lisetttapia3961]
