Is Kendrick Lamar the best execution of an industry plant in the history of music?

[SunZoo]

His music is devoid of testosterone.

His voice makes him sound like a little dog barking when he tries to diss or prove a point.

He sounds like a little geek who raps to himself at night in his basement when nobody's around.

Oh and if I want to listen to some eclectic jazzy music I'll listen to some eclectic jazzy music cause there are plenty of this shyt. I don't need a rap album for that, talkin about oh my god he's bringing jazz music to hip hop again, THIS IS SO DEEP.

You sound like an herb.

 

[The Plug]

The Beatles, Elvis, Michael Jackson

Ironic cause that's who Lamar's fans are.

rosenbergs won't directly respond to any of this. They love to pretend like people don't have legitimate reasons to call Kendrick's music trash

nah but Strange Music CEO (the person who gave Jay Rock his debut) already explained it.

Its fact. Kendrick is a plant.



and to answer the OP yes...next to Drake.

They called this artist development in the 90's homeboi.

He's been given a platform...put all the record industry hype and bullshyt to the left. Is he making good with his platform? Is he displaying skill, is he expressing himself honestly? I say he is. If you mad at him being compared to XYZ or for being overrated most of that blame can go to the label. It's not like he's a fraud and not writing his shyt...but I digress.

All that is just Interscope being good at selling records...has nothing to do with you actually thinking he's dope or not. But the majority of all don't even get into that. You weave this complex web of...stuff and that anybody with a brain or familiarity with this shyt would call obvious..it's almost like there's an agenda that comes along with all this that has very little to do with Kendrick or his artistry. (or lack thereof, what do I know.)

Y'all get mad but in 2010-12 I had him in that "yea yea this big tittied real hip hop head only gassin him like dom kennedy" on twitter. Years later still never listened to Dom but copped "DAMN." & streamed the hell outta UM wit a couple TPAB songs sandwiched in.

Even if they did "plant" him it wasn't as obvious like Drake or Chance.

 

[Kaypain]

How can anybody hate on Kendrick's come up is beyond me...

This industry plant shyt been debunked

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Discuss.

him and drake

 

[gluvnast]

Nope. This guy is.

Came in to say this.

 

[Monsanto]

The thing about Drake is, he was going to be big regardless. He is a Canadian artist, radio regulations state we have to play a certain amount of Canadian songs no matter the station.

Him getting the Ymcmb and other labels touching his pocket helped him in the global market.

 

[gluvnast]

nah breh aint go plat like K dot.

Hard to plat when your music is "free".

 

[scorpino]

Kendrick, Cole, and Chance are all industry plants. Kendrick is the best of the group though.

 

[gluvnast]

How J. Cole is an industry plant when he REJECTS the industry????

that's only in Canada, that doesn't mean shyt in US.

Dre gave his co-sign bacc when everybody was talking bout The New West. Almost like he hand picked him to be the next. I thought this was common knowledge. Still doesn't guarantee success.

A whole lot of cats been up in that Interscope building where are they now?

All the rappers Shady brought in could fill up a whole column on Jeopardy...
