Kendrick grinded and wasn't a plant but he def was fake independent around 2011 or so. And had backing before that.
Tony Yayo Says Ja Rule Was A Industry Plant
- Thread starter BK The Great
- Start date
What backing? Tech n9ne introduced kendrick to Dr Dre in 2009, before that it was just TDE.
Were they actually backing him? I remember him mentioning that but he was supposedly dropped before he started buzzing.
Why even bring up Ja name anyway
U could have easily just name 10 queens rappers/groups and let it go..
Without 50, yayo would still be in the streets

So like Kendrick Lamar from 2005 to 2010
I fukk with Ja but he did kinda come outta nowhere I don't remember any real build up or buzz on a organic street level
he really didn't. no one was really checking for him, so i get what you're saying. he was definitely overshadowed by his peers initially (mic geronimo, hov, x), and i dont think he makes it to def jam without irv. but irv helped bring jay and x to def jam too.
so now arguably the greatest/most impactful mixtape run of all-time is some plant shyt... because 50 is unlikeable?
lol. wtf are we really doing.
Most the biggest 90s rappers would be called industry plants by today's standards. The whole plant thing is corny.
Yeah you had regional independent labels like No Limit, Cash Money, Rap-A-Lot, Sick Wid It that built a big grass roots following they got their national distribution deals.
But by today's logic anyone who debut album was on a major label and got a push was a plant. That's just how it was. Labels actually invested in and developed the artists. Nobody was crying about Snoop being an industry plant in 1993

Something about the thumbnail being "Tony Yayo part 30" has me 
Vlad interviews is pretty much a full time job at this point. Bruh might as well learn how to work the camera

No. Hell no. After he got shot nobody wanted to f*ck with him. He was ice cold.
After that he started making noise with mixtapes. There was a bidding war which was kicked into high gear when Em showed interest. The rest is history.
"50 Cent was a plant" is one of the most bizarre things I've read on this site. I got old mags in storage, if I can track it down Blaze did an interview with him and his career had zero traction after the shooting. The industry shut him out.
EDIT:
Maybe one of these NY cats @spliz @Pop123 @FreshAIG can give their version of what happened, I'm in the midwest. But that's what I remember.

Not sure tbh. Thats pretty much all i know
