I'm trying to find out too
What's the success rate on "industry plants"??? doesn't seem too profitable.
- Thread starter RichYung
- Start date
So it's not even worth "planting" correct?
Great post also
The industry plant label on this forum has been run into the ground. Every artist these dudes might not like or can't explain their success is a freaking plant
We gotta break this shyt down. Tired of mafukkas just throwing it out there

You're a fukken idiot.
Mandarin Duck
Majestic and Highfalutin
A rapper that the Coli doesn't like and is successful.
The artist pretends that they are not backed by any label.
The article is about anything recorded, in any format. Singles, albums, streams, Itunes, anything.
So if the record industry is the lowest it's been in decades....that means one of two things:
1. The profits from concerts aren't enough to offset the losses in other areas.
2. Concerts have jack shyt to do with the profits of the recording industry.
Either way, you're wrong.
Or, since you seem a bit slow, here's a nice picture to break it down:
The music industry has hit its rock bottom
I swear the more someone stans Drake, the lower their IQ is.

Cut in half. But nah, the industry is doing "very well" due to singles and concerts.

This article is about the selling of music and that chart you posted.

I don't see why an artist being a "plant" matters if the artist is making dope music

A Drake stans, ladies and gentlemen.

I will give you an example.
Wu-Tang pooled together a bit of money, pressed up their own vinyl and ran up on DJs in person, asking them to play their shyt. It got played, NY was feeling it, the rest is history.
Imagine a scenario where Wu-Tang was already signed to....let's say Def Jam....pretended to be indie....and the "we pressed our own vinyl and did all our own leg work" story was completely fabricated.
One built it's buzz naturally. A grass roots approach. One pretended to, with the exact same help as any other big budget artist.
At face value, no, there isn't much difference if the music is dope. But some people like to hop on a bandwagon, say they were an "early adopter" of a new artist, whatever. The plant shyt is a marketing tool created to lure in those people.
Hell, I remember people were saying Drake was indie, a new artist, completely outside of "the industry" etc. when "Room For Improvement" and "Comeback Season" were out. In reality he was already at Aftermath a year before his "indie" debut, and a part of the industry.
