What the **** is an industry plant???

[JayYoung314]

Someone please come in here and explain this shyt. So youre saying if a person gets a record deal and becomes successful, they are a plant, or are you saying the industry FORCES them to become successful outside of people actually liking them.

it's a term to describe people with suspect come-up stories meaning they were artificially planted as a "hot new underground artist on the come up" by industry people

red flags include coming up way too fast or getting major looks from other artists or the media before accomplishing anything with their music yet

it's also suspect if you're supposedly a locally rooted artist but your own hood never fukked with you until the white media started supporting you out of nowhere

It's someone who blows up and some haters just invented a term to disguise their denial.
But nah really I think it's when you are signed on the low and you're grinding like you're unsigned until you blow up then you sign your deal in public. Like 2 Chainz who has been signed to Def Jam for like 10 years or Wiz Khalifa who went from WMG to their subsidiary Atlantic. Those two dudes are the only ones I can think of, cause labels will rarely just release someone. Still don't see the conspiracy in it, signed or not it's hard as fukk to blow up.

It's obviously a dumb idea and word cause if it was so easy for labels they would have a factory of industry plants.

Ace Hood never really blew up
Khaled put him on but that's not the same as giving him a fake indie buzz

Think Duke was being facetious.


None on that list are industry plants.

rappers who I don't personally like or listen to, who achieve some type of success
