[ice.]

Gotta bring this thread back because...

Chance The Rapper....boi.


That nikka is never gonna make it; the very definition of internet famous.

KRIT is J Cole without the Jay-Z cosign

Any west coast rapper in the 2000s besides game

??? No matter how much you like Game, he kinda was a plant. From what I remember, Interscope had signed him and was trying to figure out a way to market him, so they pushed him on 50 Cent & G-Unit. Doesn't mean he's wack, but he didn't come with the G-Unit crew and get a deal because he was the next to blow out of the clique. He was PLANTED there.

Rita Ora.
She is successful overseas, but the plan was to make her a successor to Rihanna and it didn't work. Last December she was fighting to get out of her Roc Nation deal, pretty much because they've stopped trying to push her on the US audience.

Game, like Kendrick, is the epitome of leafy

I think it was pretty obvious from the start that it was the plan. Sometime things are too obvious.

any 'plant' discussion on the coli is automatically hilarious cuz yall talk about the randomest cats being plants, but when an actual plant shows up you dont even realize it, and usually just dikkride the nikka into the ground

a lot of nikkas are really not understanding what an industry PLANT is.... it simply means, you are out in the world TELLING people you are independent.. acting like you have no deals signed.. giving off the appearance that you are where you are, simply because of great music and hard work and loving fans


BUT in reality, you have multimillionaires behind you, calling in favors and pushing your product. you are out here lying about your grind, so you can seem grassroots, when in reality, you are no different than any other major label star



see macklemore.. "oh he's independent" then come to find out, his "indy" label is being pushed by a major label the entire time


see kendrick.. "oh section 80 was hot then interscope grabbed him up" then come to find out, he was already signed before section 80


see chance.. "oh he had a hot mixtape and he doesn't even have a deal" then come to find out, he's under CAA


see drake and nicki... "oh they on multiplat singles with no deal" then come to find out they was signed to wayne and cash money the entire time



game being signed to interscope and dre and openly going to gunit isn't a plant... french montana grinding on the mixtape circuit and openly signing to puff isn't a plant


like Bill said.. if it was a real plant.. you wouldn't even know it unless you really went digging for the info and started seeing who was signed to who and when

I gotta at the Tink situation for a minute. The other day I was watching MTV Jams and one of her videos came on. This chick was doing her best Azaelia Banks impression. I just laughed thinking about how Charlagmagne was saying she was going to make an impact and those two months of hype she had last summer.

Not true. The term industry plant doesn't strictly refer to "a signed artist fronting as independent". It also can include a "record label puppet" (CHECK) and "an artist with a fabricated backstory" (CHECK).

that doesn't make any damn sense breh

every artist on a label is a record label puppet.. the MOMENT you sign, they own your fukking ass.. eminem sold 10 million albums and told the story of jimmy iovine refusing to put out MM unless he had a catchy bullshyt single.. so if that's the case, everybody is a damn plant


game grinded on mixtapes for YEARS with JT the bigga figga... he was actually signed to him first.. also big fase don't even like that nikka, but vouched for his story.. i mean it's public record he got shot while serving out of his crack spot... i'm not sure what part of his story is made up by interscope... i mean they all hype up what they did... see nas... but he wasn't some kid from wyoming they found and made up an entire story about hood life like vanilla ice did

She really is one of the more talented artists in the game male or female. It's just unfortunate that the black female music industry right now seems to be in a slump. Unless you're Beyonce or Rihanna who were established over a decade ago.
