Remember how J Cole was the first rapper to be called an industry plant more or less on Sohh?

[CrimsonTider]

This was before industry plant became a buzz word...

He was on some reality show like " pimp my ride"

He was at Diggy or someone 16th bday party

It was a few other things

The thread was " how did J Cole get to all these places before anyone knew who he was"

It's funny because no one associates with being a plant on here because he is marketed as an anti hero or some shyt

I made the first J. Cole thread on sohh

 

[DrunkerThanAMotherfucker]

How can Cole be a plant if he garnered his buzz through mixtapes that were mostly self-produced? I know he signed to the Roc 2009-2010, but he already had a legit legion of fans then.

Aren't plants supposed to be dudes already in those inner circles who pop up out of nowhere due to strong financing and promo?
