See, this is why the plant talk is such contrived bullshyt. Its just used to fit peoples already jealous perceptions of artists they don't care for, because I could easily contrive a perspective where the Migos and Future are "industry plants". Future was connected to Dungeon Family early on, but that's not an industry plant to yall huh? Migos had one project out and were virtually unknown before they were getting cosigns from Zaytoven and Drake. Yall probably didn't hear about RHQ until he was Rich Gang and fukkin with Birdman. Everyone you speak of you can pinpoint a moment where they got a "push", but its never said about certain people whether its "organic" or not. Cause its largely irrelevant.Work that nobody cared about until the forced push,not even Section 80. And he was signed to Aftermath before Section 80. But more narratives,placements,and torches had to be handed out to move the needle.
I'm not downplaying his success if I acknowledge he delivered on the forced push. He just happens to be a forced push that we can look back on favorably,and in retrospect say he deserved it and the label was right. I just think they are about to go 2 for 3 with Doechi. But I was wrong the other two times so maybe she will make the same leap
Is saying they needed help and development a nicer way to put it for you?
Its a good chance they wasn't listening to Kendrick back then.
And Atlanta wasn't bumping Future when he was "Meathead" (
) he had to get a "push" from somewhere, even tho he was putting in the work.

. Then he started making noise and putting out his own hits.

This is just a gotdamn rebrand
. But he was already on Aftermath before Section 80. As for the rest of what you said. People can take whatever path they want to,what matters is the result. But why do y'all have an issue with people pointing out it wasn't organic if ultimately it doesn't matter? When you start comparing goats these things do matter though. I only bought it up in here because it's relevant to the topic,and shows a pattern. It's not like I randomly bought it up out the blue to dismiss Kendrick. That's just how y'all took it,because in y'alls hearts y'all know in hip-hop "getting it out the mud" hits different. Being self made with zero cosigns holds a different type of weight. Biggie had Puffy and has an asterisk. Biggie and Pac died,so Nas and Jay have that asterisk. Hate it or love it,Kendricks career path will be held against him. For the forced push he received that greatly benefited him. And there's no evidence he could've garnered buzz from a large audience without it. It's even questionable locally if he could've locked the city up. Could he have locked up the internet? There's no evidence to say yes because he never did in any regard.
