Channel: unknown
[2]
by now
[4]
rap fans that feel energized and
[6]
inspired by the backstory of their
[8]
favorite artist evolving out of their
[9]
humble beginnings with nothing but
[11]
supreme hustle and sheer talent are
[14]
understandably disturbed when they hear
[16]
a term such as industry plant used to
[19]
describe an artist who has exaggerated
[21]
about their rags to riches rise among
[23]
the ranks to the rap elite let's get
[26]
clear on what exactly we're talking
[28]
about when we say the phrase an industry
[30]
plant is an artist who has a record
[33]
label or power player backing their
[35]
movement but represent themselves
[37]
publicly as an entity that organically
[40]
created their own buzz in the
[41]
entertainment industry being called out
[43]
as an industry plant is definitely not
[46]
flattering because who wants to be
[48]
revealed as a liar who got a leg up over
[50]
their competition based on secretly
[52]
being signed to a record label already
[54]
while pretending to be on the individual
[56]
indie grind now it is understood that an
[59]
industry plant is actually deceiving
[61]
their audience in order to bank on their
[63]
sympathy for someone struggling and
[65]
succeed without any privileges or cheat
[67]
codes and the question arises how can
[70]
you spot an industry plant and is your
[72]
favorite rapper been an artificial
[74]
industry plant instead of authentic with
[76]
homegrown roots
[77]
what do members that a music industry
[79]
have to say about the evolution of this
[82]
ultra odd phenomenon rapper Russ the
[85]
rapper who became famous for writing
[86]
producing mixing and recording his own
[89]
songs week after week has been accused
[91]
of really being an industry plant all
[93]
along but he has been quick to defend
[95]
his independence
[96]
I'm 103 percent independent literally no
[99]
one but me doing everything I just like
[101]
to create I get to do whatever I want
[103]
when I want I think I would have to
[105]
answer to people that I wouldn't want to
[107]
I couldn't be happier about having a
[109]
cult following honestly because it's
[111]
real people so many artists don't have
[113]
real people that actually with them I'm
[116]
gonna be here for a long time because
[118]
I'm not an industry plan I'm a real
[120]
human with other real humans that put me
[122]
all over the world

the Chicago taste maker and fake Shore
[126]
Drive founder Andrew barber feels that
[128]
one streaming began
[130]
as a preferred way of consuming music it
[132]
gave way for the industry plans to
[134]
sprout out all over the field of music
[136]
Andrew barber explains our industry
[139]
plants are now able to pop up out of
[140]
nowhere some artists could come from
[143]
absolutely nothing one week you've never
[145]
even heard of them ten days after you
[147]
first heard their name their songs are
[149]
charting and they're the talk of social
[151]
media like a Blueface guy comes out of
[153]
nowhere next thing you know it's all you
[155]
see on your timeline the ability to spot
[158]
an industry plant can come from having
[159]
their name mean absolutely nothing to
[162]
anyone today and have it be launched
[164]
into music charting positions and listed
[166]
beside gigantic stars the same week
[168]
canadian youtuber named john who runs a
[171]
channel under the moniker progress
[172]
defines an industry plant as being a
[175]
young musician who get snatched up by a
[177]
record label before even having a
[179]
solidified identity or any commitment to
[181]
artistic integrity
[182]
speaking of industry plant style
[184]
situations trippy Reds mixtape a love
[187]
letter to you
[188]
featured named baby God and who sign a
[190]
Republic a label form within the
[192]
Universal Music Group family come to
[194]
find out she had no other baby goth
[197]
music at the time but at once released
[199]
songs briefly under the stage name
[201]
riobueno but to make the story weirder
[203]
riobueno wasn't a rapper she was pushing
[206]
herself as a pop singer going it alone
[208]
even using indiegogo for crowdfunding
[211]
what conclusion that progress come to on
[213]
his baby goth riobueno character
[215]
progress figured that a label republic
[217]
remakes her with a new image sound and
[220]
genre it also must have made waves for
[222]
baby Garth who seemingly try to get in
[224]
front of this controversy with a quick
[226]
response interview on no jumper podcast
[228]
with Adam 22 in fact Adam 22 himself has
[232]
been accused of using his influence as a
[234]
platform for pushing instant plants his
[237]
opinion on his everything you ever
[239]
wanted to know about industry plants
[240]
video is he has many relationships with
[243]
rappers and that it has never been
[244]
uncommon for record labels to use their
[246]
resources to make money off of artists
[249]
Adam 22 stated this is a new thing that
[252]
we expect artists to get hot on their
[254]
own because that wasn't even possible
[256]
until like 10 years ago and now what's
[258]
happened to be honest is that the labels
[260]
have gotten so much smarter than now the
[262]
label
[263]
are able to sort of manipulate the
[265]
system and they are so in tune with
[267]
what's going on online that they can
[269]
find somebody really really early on
[270]
which is kind of what happened with baby
[272]
goth in jumex
[273]
the labels can find them when they are
[275]
putting stuff online before the fans can
[277]
find them and labels can find them and
[279]
sort of like bring them in work on their
[281]
sound work on their visual aesthetic
[283]
where they are going and everything and
[285]
then they can sort of release that
[286]
content to the public once they feel
[288]
that it is ready another sign that there
[291]
is an industry plan in your midst is
[293]
often when there are way too many
[294]
copycats of popular trends how many
[297]
brightly dyed hair light skinned rappers
[300]
are seemingly trying to be the next
[302]
little punk kid buu and skinny from the
[304]
nine both of that profile and to make
[306]
matters worse they have both been
[308]
accused of being industry plants not
[310]
every artist is honest about their
[312]
background especially if they're selling
[314]
an image that they never lived there for
[316]
getting caught in lies about their
[318]
origin can be a clear red flag that
[320]
they're an industry plan take the many
[322]
different forms of fact-checking that of
[324]
discredited kyboot the biggest fear is
[326]
that he's a clone maybe he was shocked
[328]
that people actually believed it but kid
[330]
buu admits himself that everything he
[332]
does is strategically planned to promote
[334]
his brand in his music even after the
[336]
flat-out voice robotic I'm a clone DJ
[339]
flat interview in 2018
[341]
Anthony Fantana from the needle drop had
[343]
a very interesting and understandable
[345]
take on the industry plant controversy
[347]
even on how it specifically applies to
[350]
teenage singer and songwriter Billy
[352]
Eilish the label is most likely going to
[354]
make more money off you if they can hand
[356]
you a dinky contract before you are
[358]
famous before you are popular and they
[360]
can essentially control your ascent
[362]
upward on the ladder of popularity and
[364]
basically own you right from the start
[366]
so is Billy Eilish an industry plant if
[369]
we were to go strictly by the kind of
[371]
vague standards for what being an
[372]
industry plant is yeah pretty much but
[375]
still by those very same standards you
[377]
Columb the Beatles or The Clash into
[379]
that same category because they as well
[381]
we're very heavily groomed on their way
[383]
up the ladder by the music industry if
[386]
this industry plant thing continues to
[387]
be rewarding financially so we just
[390]
assume that every rapper NSYNC
[391]
is flat-out lying to us about everything
[393]
pertaining to their life and will we see
[395]
a music industry that has zero artists
[397]
of any integrity left whatsoever I guess
[400]
we'll have to find out this has been a
[402]
hip-hop man it's original make sure to
