His rise is about as organic as it can be.

“A person put in a position to look and perform like a star, that wasn’t here last year,” - Guapdad 4000

“They get to cut almost every corner because they know one person who just runs everything in some spectrum of the industry and then everyone else under that person has to go to bat for the artist,” - Guapdad 4000

"“It’s like if I’m a crip and I’ve been crippin’. Then someone comes in and I’ve never seen them over here, but they’re saying that they’re the same as me. I’m finna trip on that,” - Guapdad 4000

"“I used to feel really strongly about artists who were like, ‘I’m independent. I’m doing this all by myself. Look at me, I’m shooting DIY videos and mixing music in my bedroom,’ she says. “But they were actually signed the entire time. That s*** used to really bug me, but now the lines are so blurred between independent and signed artists, that I don’t know if it really matters.” - Kari Faux

Faux personally defines an industry plant as “an artist who is being groomed and developed away from the public eye by a label,” only to be placed in the spotlight inorganically with a hit song or a viral moment. To her though, that initial moment doesn’t mean much unless the artist has some staying power or broader appeal, because “people are always expecting that follow-up. When that comes it’s the real determining factor in whether or not you’re going to last.” - Kari Faux

"Your favorite rapper is probably not an industry plant, but your 14th favorite rapper probably is. An industry plant is when a major label or well-connected managers and freelance A&Rs pluck an otherwise obscure artist from the lower depths of SoundCloud or YouTube and use their vast network to procure them co-signs, big budget producers, expensive guest features, expansive profiles in mainstream publications, and lucrative playlist placements. Meanwhile, their industry Medicis downplay any affiliation. The ascent has to appear organic and strictly off 'the music,' even though no one in their hometown has ever heard of them. They've never played tiny club shows or paid dues of any sort. They are rap's silver spoons. The ones who often don't have any interest in rap: who consider themselves pop, who want to do fashion, appear in the second largest font on the Coachella poster, be in Virgil Abloh’s Instagram. The same types that WC mocked over 30 years ago: suckers who never paid dues." - Jeff Weiss
