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

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

He is, he literally was throwing money around paying for relationships and linking up with already established artists.

Then he was acting like he was independent by the time so far gone came out

Both are plants in a way but kendricks come up is more organic

Cost money to make songs.

Oh, and ask Trey Songz to tell the story.

 

[DPresidential]

according to thecoli anyone with some kind of relevance is a plant

Yea,
This shyt and flat earth need to make a best of both colis album.

Essentially, if you're successful, you're a "plant."

Apparently, "they" who are the planters some how know good music better than anyone else and consistently put out "plants" who's albums people buy.

Let me guess, these planters are also purchasing half of Kendrick's albums, too, right? And they were the one's who told him to include audio of his family regarding their belief that they are Israelites, right?

shyt is bizarre as shyt.

 

[DPresidential]

Typical contrarian I hate shyt others like because they like it.

In a genre full of mush mouth mumble rap the nikka that enunciates got you heated

You'd rather hear a dude that sound like he fumbling with balls in his mouth cuz that's real manly and full of that testosterone you need so much in your music. I wonder what your dumb ass would have done if rap was never invented.

*Doesn't listen to music because it's all soft ass singing n shyt.

Cosign.

Who the fukk looks through a music library and says...

Hmm....

I want my artists to sound...

hmm...

to sound MANLY!

Weirdos.

 

[CrimsonTider]

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

What are you taking about? J Cole is the industry

 

[Mowgli]

Best execution of a neg in coli history

I'm going to be real, Drake's come-up in the game was better than Kendrick's

Nobody was checking for K-Dot back in his Black Wall Street days like that

But Drake had fans going back to Replacement Girl

And people were fukking with Drake's music off top, Drake was dropping dope shyt but Kendrick? Not so much

It wasn't until Section.80 dropped that people started to fukk with Kendrick for real







Still Kendrick>>>>>Drake in terms of rap skills


Drake could never do what Kendrick does rap-wise

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

Drake had the biggest buzz in your lifetimes. Easily the most anticipated act of the last decade plus.

nikka, by the time Drake's "buzz" was happening he was already signed to Cash Money

He had people fukking with him, but it was mostly Canadians and people who recognized him Degrassi

nikkas didn't start fukking with Drake like that until around the time Stunt Hard and the original Forever dropped




It was clear then that Cash Money/Universal was pushing him.
It wasn't until So Far Gone dropped that it was discovered that Rap-A-Lot had their money in also

 

[SirBiatch]

rosenbergs got furious and played dumb as expected

Be mad that your favorite subpar rapper has been selling you ducktales since OD, brehs.

Bu-bu-but ASAP Rocky isn't going to cut it either Flacko not about that gardening life and not surprisingly has led to more creative and honest music

 

[mr.africa]

summary of thread - everyone is a plant!!
it is all relative - i'm making no sense!!

 

[SunZoo]

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

This industry plant shyt been debunked

The "industry plant" shyt in general is just

nikka, by the time Drake's "buzz" was happening he was already signed to Cash Money

He had people fukking with him, but it was mostly Canadians and people who recognized him Degrassi

nikkas didn't start fukking with Drake like that until around the time Stunt Hard and the original Forever dropped




It was clear then that Cash Money/Universal was pushing him.
It wasn't until So Far Gone dropped that it was discovered that Rap-A-Lot had their money in also

So what?

You wanna make a skill based argument against Drake I'm with it...da fukk any of that got to do with anything? Mobb Deep had industry connects before they popped, the music industry pays attention to what stupid muthafukkas do/say/react to and they adjust their game plan, seems like some people are just happy that they figured some shyt out.

 

[Mowgli]

Cac opinions.

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

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.

His bars are fragmented.Subject matter nonlinear.Combined with his prepubescent voice, a hard listen.

A bunch of mumbo-jumbo, abstract gibberish.

His fans look up at the clouds and see Pablo Picasso drawings.

I just see clouds of smoke.


His marketing presentation's "artistic" and creative, tho.I gotta give him that one.

If you don't know any better, you'd think he's really dropping some heavy shyt.

That Don Cheadle stuff in his latest vid......get's you lost in the sauce.

Clever

nikka's first mixtape came out when he was a teenager in 2003

This thread is classic coli ... Do complete 180s and reverse both tone and message towards the evil corporate music industry based not on principle, but PURELY whether the artist being discussed is an internet bad guy or babyface


But yeah Interscope (rumors of their demise in the wake of the decline of the shady/aftermath era were greatly exaggerated) has done a masterful job with Kendrick no doubt...They knew Rap smarks get moist for shyt like the "omg they're independent and free of the machine... It makes the music so much realer " narrative and worked it perfection in the Section 80 era... And had effectively cornered the market for "conscious rap for mainstream listeners" by the time gkmc dropped... Was afraid they were reaching too far and was gonna corn him out when that wack ass I single dropped...And never really got into TPAB.... But Damn. is just right... Will probably be my most listened to Kendrick project
