I said its safe to say that some of them MAY have been plants due to the similar roll out they had... and I said many times that I don't care and have never cared

Wtf is an industry plant anyway? Seems like it's just a phrase that means "rapper that is popular that I don't like "

:ohhh: Kendrick was signed to signed to Def Jam when Jay was there. K dot was only 17. this puts a new light on it all

12 Things About Your Favorite Rappers You Probably Don’t Know

Years before Kendrick Lamar was discovered by Dr. Dre, he almost had the backing of another rap titan. As a 17-year-old, circa 2006, Lamar was signed to the Jay Z-run Def Jam. The future star even ran into Jay briefly in a meeting.

"I remember was Jay walking in the room, 'Yo, what’s up?' And walked back to the elevator and we was like 'Damn, that’s Jay,'" Lamar told MTV. "So he doubles back, goes back to his office next door and he’s playing my music. Put me in the studio and that was just one of those situations where I wasn’t ready."

Kendrick had a development deal at Def Jam. He did NOT have an artist deal. He was ghostwriting.
