Every artist is an “industry plant” to a certain extent

A bunch of big time label guys in suits plan out a marketing strategy and image for the artist, all based on how much of a ROI they’ll get, and the artist works within that framework until a more profitable artist comes along

No different from the bloods propping up 6ix9ine to fund their business

Lmaoo wow

😂😂 @ those replies

Ok now this u may not be wrong about

Edit: nevermind I can’t agree with your edit

Bc I don’t even think they are the same timeframe...I was in HS for Cinco, I was almost done with college when Baby came out...baby was still firmly doing whatever he was doing outside of music in the process of Cinco never taking off

And they had plenty of other attempted artists in that in between time frame

Coach K and P both said they groomed him to be a rapper

First of all weird

Second of all @user never said he didn’t start rapping in 2017, he said he wasn’t signed initially

how many of his fans can really relate to lil baby

Cinco buzz firmly dead with QC by 2015

Baby doesn’t pop up until spring 2017 and the type of s*** they rap about beyond the surface comparison of street s*** is totally different

Baby moreso melodic war stories and Cinco is generic flexing that just sounds hard and sum s*** to get dressed to lol

Dudes get put on late to artists and start throwing around “industry plant” claims

Maybe fall 16? That’s not that big of a gap? He starts recording fall 16 and drops perfect timing or whatever that first tape was in January 17

I don’t get the contradiction ur tryna expose here

😂😂😂

If you take away all the street anecdotes with name dropping and free this guy and whatnot it’s basically just motivation music

That’s the appeal of all street music to non street niggas

Lol nah

He was already solid foundation according to this video and this s*** didn’t do nowhere near the impact of my dawg

He got a few other videos like this

It took off fast bc of who he was in Atlanta not because they forced him on the world

By this logic Migos are plants bc there was never a time where QC P, Coach K or Gucci wasn’t involved

Lil Wayne is an industry plant

Industry Plant: signed to a label but pretending not to be signed and the come up to be organic

Industry Pushed: getting a strong push from the label via playlists and radio - think Khalid

Industry Connected - family/connections in the industry - think Clairo

3 different things
industry plants are not common

K didn't find baby .. he was running w thug b4 he signed to qc .. just offered the most $

N really props is owed to P not K he the street brain behind qc

Lmao my nigga I’m pretty sure they recorded this in a QC studio

They broke down the whole process in interviews too lazy to look it up might be wrong tho

I don’t think QC was a thing before they got Migos

So basically he's the most generic rapper of all time?
