ITT: Painfully obvious industry plants

please explain why the industry would plant this fuck

>>71033436
death grips

>>71033436
is that grimes

Peep is an anti-plant bro

>>71033436
papa johns misty

>>71033436
but he switches lane's with gucci mane

>>71033486
I hear this a lot and it makes zero sense because he's been in the industry for a goddamn while

>everyone who builds an audience without a major label in the internet age is an industry plant
yes good goys, only trust the labels, unsigned artists cannot be trusted!

>>71033486
How can someone on a well known label be an "industry plant?" At that point you're just openly a part of the industry, there's no "plant" aspect to it.

>>71034954
He purposefully self-reinvented to sellout.

Probably the most obvious industry plant of this era.

>>71035248

Imagine falling off at age 20

>>71035248
Industry plant no, political plant, yes. Guess what his dad does?

going back in time The Strokes

but they were good, i was conflicted about that

>>71034909
Not true

>>71035248
How most people don't see this is beyond me.

>>71035301
Yeah I know his dad has some political/government job in Chicago and his uncle is Spike Lee. Shit, Spike Lee just being his uncle just kicked down so many music industry doors for him and he hardly had to try.

>I WISH THAT I COULD BE LIKE THE COOL KIDS
>LIKE THE KOOL CIDS

>>71035317
this

the strokes are an industry plant like a rollercoaster is fake danger. who cares, it's still fun. i should hope every industry plant would be actually interesting and show actual professional fucking ability.

Mac demarco is a cigarette industry plant

>>71033459
no way on that one and i thnk you'd have to be a little bit stupid to honestly believe that.

"zach hill rap project" was enough to get attention, and the crazy internet shit helped.

this, and there is an important difference between the two.

Chance was pretty popular with his Acid Rap mixtape but he started receiving major attention when the powers that be decided they could use him as a political shill.

Hi /tv/

>>71033451
to make genuine shit rappers seem better by comparison

>>71033436
the beatles

>>71033451
appeals to a very particular, big demographic AND promotes hardcore drug use/general laziness, all for "anti establishment" AKA controlled opposition.

>>71035301
Actually thinking about that now, I feel like Vic Mensa would've been more of a political plant...that's kind of a tough call between the two though. Then again they could both be.

Vic Mensa representing the more rebellious/protesting aspect of it. Chance representing the "Let's all work together for equality and democracy guys!" aspect.

Vic Mensa represents all that is cheesy.

>>71035301
mmm yes the jews did this...makes sense

>>71035728
such a goofball

Lol guys leave Vic alone, he's actually a really cool and nice guy. I met him last summer

>>71035839

Lil Peep is too dumb to be a plant

>>71035924
>too dumb to be a plant
thats literally the point

>>71035937
Why would you plant a guy unless he can do something for your group?

>>71035924
>>71036002

>what is the "useful idiot"

Fucking dumbass.

>>71036002
>he can do something for your group?
they do what they're told. be stupid or (atleast the persona) is easier. I bet even kendrick is (((directed))) on things.

>>71036043
My point is he's too much of an idiot to be a useful idiot. He's drugged out all the time, no way Peep can focus on whatever grand scheme the Zionist lizard wizards have for him

>>71035248
He's selling out, but I wouldn't say he's an industry plant. Had talent, plus came from a wealthy family to grant him better opportunities than most. His meteoric rise is very interesting though

>>71036106
>no way Peep can focus on whatever grand scheme the Zionist lizard wizards have for him
thats literally his point. to glamorize the drugged out life, same with keef and all the others.

If you don't think Robin got to where he is through sheer talent alone...

whats her point? She makes the least accessible and non-radio friendly music?

>>71036106
his role is being high all the time and spewing out bullshit
>faggot teens love that shit

>>71036219
>would want their labor base to get hooked on drugs
jesus /mu/ is so stupid.
thats EXACTLY what they want.
drugs nurture apathy

>>71036256
He'd be fulfilling that role whether or not he was a plant. That's not even a useful role either

PEEP USED TO BE TIGHT BUT I THINK HE DROPPED TOO MANY XANS. CRYBABY WAS SIIICCCCC BUT HELLBOY SUCKED. ANYONE AGREE?

>>71036278
Apathy nurtures shit employees. Would you want guys showing up to work baked and messing around on the clock all day?

>>71036337
they dont want good workers who strive for goals. they want bear minimum pissants who are interchangeable .

>>71036405
that would be a great plan if every business was McDonald's

>>71036427
>if every business was McDonald's
which is exactly where they want people working.

I always see these "Industry Plant" threads, and they make no sense. Can you retards even give an example of a REAL PROVEN plant is or is it just another "something I don't like boogeyman"? Do you seriously think a label would go through the trouble of secretly signing someone and paying people to act as fans for an artist so they can have someone pretend to be an independant artist?

>>71036457
What's the point of taking control of only the bottom rung of the economy

>>71036622
>An industry plant is an artist who has Major/Indie Label backing their movement but presents themselves as a "home grown start up" label to create a pseudo organic following. They act as if things are miraculously happening for them based on their talent (via blog coverage, media coverage, mtv playing their vids, etc.) The reality is a low risk/high reward situation for labels looking to build the next "new star"

>>71036622
desiigner is exactly that idiot

i always thought it meant "someone planted by the industry" to trick the public

but it actually means like them growing a plant (in artist form)??

>>71036624
>only the bottom rung of the economy
They have the bottom and middle.
Taking control of the top is often risky and filled with tedious caveats.

The middle-class has the most money willing to throw at products or people in this case.

>>71036278
And keep incarceration rates high

>>71036689
Desiigner only has 3 songs and everyone realized he was shit after Timmy Turner, if he was a plant he would have put out an album in 2016 after Panda to capitalize on his popularity but now the public has largely forgot about him.

>>71036808
why would he need to put out an album
he made his team plenty of money with panda
have you heard of one hit wonders?

>>71033436
literally PewDePie with tatoos

>>71036735
Middle class people aren't drug addicted fast food workers though

>>71036854
Many are.
And the line between lower and middle is pretty blurry.

>>71036427
we need idiots working shitty jobs, we cant afford anyone being a manager or similar shit like that

>>71033436
literally who

>>71036854
Do you actually think that's the bottom-rung of society?

>>71036179
>joanna newsom
yea nah, just cause you can't into wacky harp lady doesn't mean she's bad

>>71036166
>occams razor, son
ykno you're actually making some pretty big assumptions so i don't think that applies here

>>71036715
no, you had it right the first time

>>71037433
more like can't into autistic screeching because I'm not deaf

Beyonce
didn't get a grammy? much racism

>>71034997
????

What if he was planted BY that label?

>>71036179
Nah not XXXtentacion. He's actually been around for 3 years now and he kept up a fanbase of people who would listen to SpaceGhostPurrp, Pouya, Denzel Curry, Robb Banks, etc. All of whom also supported him and spread the news about him going to jail for assaulting his girlfriend. Which started this #FreeX shit, also feminists ended up making him famous too by spreading his name out there.
