Both of the biggest rappers in the game (K Dot and Drake) are technically (or, if you want to split hairs, outright) industry plants. So it seems to be working well.

If true .... What's the success rate? Two out of how many?
I guess I'm kinda confused what your point is. If (hypothetically speaking) it worked to cement the two biggest rappers, how many failed doesn't matter. They will throw 1000 more guys at the wall to see if they can get another Drake or K Dot. It's not as if it takes much effort to do, anyway.
