Sway's 5 Fingers of Death Freestyle Challenge is a grueling exercise where visiting rappers must spit over five beats. The beats come at random, and several rappers have failed while attempting to conquer each finger of the challenge. Torey Lanez is not one of those rappers.
The Canadian singer and rapper ascended to fame off the strength of his R&B singles. Many people only associate Lanez with his R&B persona, and he took time out to remind people that he can rap too. Sway showed Lanez undying admiration as he introduced the rapper, and the first beat that drops in is "Welcome to New York City" by Cam'ron and Jay-Z.
Lanez drops crazy bars on the first beat, "Have it look like a dinner when I'm driving/ my grip like my d*ck, it gets bigger when I slide in/ 45th skipping like flipper on the glide in/coming through the spot, jewels dripping like Poseidon.
The Biggie, Puff Daddy, The LOX, and Lil' Kim classic "All About The Benjamins," beat drops next. "21 guns like, I'm a d*mn savage/with two of them I can make both ya mans catch it/then pay a donation, pay both ya mans caskets," raps Lanez. He continues on to slaughter Jadakiss' "Still Feel Me," 50 Cent's "50 Shot Ya," and Cam'ron's "Down and Out." The entire freestyle lasts about nine minutes.
