We need a coli definition of what a plant is.

It's very simple and all in the name... The MUSIC INDUSTRY has PLANTED you in a position, instead of actual fans
So you have a guy like Chance, getting rapper of the year awards and front covers of magazine and late night talk shows, BEFORE he ever released an album... Straight mixtape rapper status, GIVEN publicity, paid for by favors and friends in power, rather than actual great music, big fanbase, sales, etc...
Whoever said Slim is a fukking idiot... But there's plenty of NOBODIES, who came out of nowhere, made famous by only connections of other people... To flip it, think Cardi B... Grinding and performed music for years... Saw her come up from a dusty broad, watched her get on tv, watched women love her ghetto style, heard the hit, saw the hit move, now she on top for females
Another female might pop out of nowhere, and be standing right next to Cardi, and nobody even bumps her shyt, but Rolling Stone calling her the best female rapper alive... Nah that's an industry favor
Back to Chance.... The confusion comes when you think as a fan vs an artist.. As a fan, yea I want things to be great music, then great career.... But if you got the cheat code, as an artist, why not call up pops and ask him to get you into this show or that show... Why not have CAA pull favors to have you on rolling stone when nobody knows you? Why wait and work it the long way when your man's is Jay-Z or some shyt like that.....
So yea... There's plants.. But can anyone say if they had the hookup, they wouldn't take it?
