He's only like 24, he'll transition into Politics eventuallyidk why i have this irrational hate for chance/
i feel like he's wasting his time in music, should be working on a political career
we need smart black men like him in positions of power
Is Kendrick Lamar the best execution of an industry plant in the history of music?
Jack Skellington
yes indeed family
that title belongs to Chance

Failure is not a option
My dispensary just got in this half tea half THC lemonade.
Another circle-jerk thread between a bunch of Kendrick haters 
And no, he's not an "Industry-plant"
If it takes a decade for you to blow fully, you're not a plant, you're a long-running artist peeking.
I guess Lupe Fiasco is a plant too

Who hid Top Dawg signing a joint venture with Interscope?
shyt was announced on MTV, the biggest news channel in the US
Are you serious?
The problem isn't that info being public....it obviously is. The problem is that joint venture happened a long time before it was officially announced.
Fred.
It happened before he released his "debut" album GKMC.

Unless you have legitimate information about the deal happening before Section.80?
Top Dawg Entertainment, Kendrick Lamar and Black Hippy Close Deal with Aftermath and Interscope
The legitimate info has already been posted. Where have you been?
Travis O'Guin, the CEO of Strange Music (Tech N9ne's label) was going to sign TDE....after he turned them down he still had right of first refusal on any of their projects....meaning the option to pass/sign them at a future date. So Interscope had to talk to him first....and O'Guin point blank said that deal went through a long ass time before it was officially announced. It was around the time Jay Rock was doing songs with Strange Music....so 2010....2 years before the article you posted and roughly a year before "Section.80".

Thread is trash
why exactly are you quoting me? For the attention?

Drake is the most successful pop rap plant
Kendrick is the most successful "conscious" plant
Kendrick's whole story is perfect
-From Compton, a city with a lot of hip hop history behind it, as well as being known as a rough city to grow up in
-Got a Dre cosign
-"goes against the grain" of the mainstream while simultaneously being a part of it
-"Gets signed" after being indie when in reality he's been signed for years
-Critically acclaimed no matter what he does, like Kanye, even for subpar records like Section.80
-Section.80 his breakout record received shyt tons of critical acclaim at a perfect time
-Major label backing
-Massive debut of GKMC (which is really a good record), tons of guests from the industry, Dre cosign
-Critically acclaimed crew when they're all pretty subpar, Ab-Soul especially
-Schoolboy Q receiving critical acclaim for not good records
-came from a group that was buzzing in the undergound, likely completely manufactured as a group
-Released hipster bait "jazz" hip hop and some kind of overarching concept that people can't seem to agree on
-Make it slightly more difficult and inaccessible so people can pat themselves on the back for liking it
-Enlist industry legends such as George Clinton
-Got more critical acclaim
-Connected himself to 2pac in one of the most corny moves in hip hop history, trying to solidify his "GOAT" narrative
-Buzz over an alright verse in Control simply because he called people out
-Conveniently connected to interscope and aftermath, a group known for manufacturing "GOATs" (Eminem anyone?)
And does Kendrick ever really say anything controversial? Is anyone paying attention to what Kendrick is saying besides the fans? I doubt it. He's no household name.
To me this is like Eminem's story. They just made a pop star into a GOAT rapper by having a dude with some talent. Em has no real classics, Kendrick, well time will tell. TPAB is damn sure no 9/10 though. It's all marketing, and you know they're invested heavily into Kenny and the whole narrative they have going. They have SO much money in this. It's not Drake vs Kenny and the people, it's Drake's McDonald's vs Kendrick's Burger King. Two manufactured icons.

I mean we're supposed to believe him because? Sounds like word of mouth shyt to me. And how does this make one a "industry plant?". Why is that a problem? To whom does it affect? People listen to music and either fukk with or don't. Besides...The legitimate info has already been posted. Where have you been?
