In my opinion, a plant is someone that comes out of no where and pays no underground dues. Comes out of no where and just exists on a mainstream stage. Just on day you start to hear their name every where and there’s no record of their history.
Jack Harlow, Logic, Macklemore,
Those are industry plants, same time, the industry can grab someone who has momentum and use them for a purpose, spring board them to a position they aren’t ready for and it show cause they have no media training
Cardi B or CTG ain’t industry plants like Kanye said cause you seen their growth, Cardi got her teeth fixed on a public stage, CTG used to cover his face with a hoodie at all times, you seen them low class and broke, you see them climb.
they might be used by the industry but they weren’t just planted in their positions. There’s not an industry person that would have bet on Bodack Yellow or whatever prior to it doing what it do.
