ok but to be fair, you gotta put in perspective how these guys pop out of nowhere. like the only music I've ever heard from bryson is trapsoul and post that, it's weird because he did pop outta nowhere.

"People confuse having connections with being a plant"

for real. don't be mad someone had good connections that got them in. low key screams jealousy tbh

Travis isn't a plant

just cuz you pop up out of "nowhere" doesn't make you an industry plant lol. there are several artists who knocked it out the park with their debut album/first project and were super popular from the jump

yup. great example of industry plant is macklemore when he first came out

pushed this super independent organic image and aesthetic when in reality he was signed

I stand corrected then

industry plant not a KTT term. Go outside

I'm not saying it does, but isn't it weird when a random artist just suddenly gets hyped outta nowhere then suddenly they have 1 million to 30 million youtube video views in a month

not a ktt term. people just started using it on music forums and now we all know it

He actually wasn’t signed when Don’t blew up

It blew up on SoundCloud partly because Drake and others shared it

It’s wild if someone from here really invented that and didn’t copyright it

Someone gon use that title for a movie Or some s*** one day. Lol think about it

it’s a unique situation for sure. He really was technically “independent” by definition though, and since there was no major label involved he cant be a plant

so co-signing a bit different.

it's been used since the 50's actually.

Macklemore and lana

nope that was apple’s doing, he didnt lie about anything either

i remember the race to sign him lol, thought for sure ovo would get him

Yep

taz was on KTT1 too so that s*** Wild it came full circle

But I can see a full fledged Hollywood comedy with that industry plant concept lol. Especially as ppl from our generation get into position to make those type movies over next decade

reread op, i feel like you still aren’t understand what the term means

I think people have a problem with artists fabricated by a label rather than actual industry plants

Co-signing usually either means the artist who co-signed genuinely f***ed w it
Or the artist is connected to the co-signer via the label or via family or whatever

For example Keem blew up partly because he had co-signs from TDE and Kevin Durant and stuff

Co-signs can be a sign of the artist being a plant though but in Tillers case I’m pretty sure he just had a hit song

That being said it’s almost impossible to prove someone’s a plant because by nature a plant is hiding that they have backing

gotcha

Yea 100% and music movies have been doing really well box office wise
