As long as someone's music is good enough, I don’t mind someone being an industry plant or whatever.

[@paulomunozartavia2282]

Fr. If it’s good, it’s good. Idk why people make such a big deal out of it

Agreed

[@disrespectful-gtax-7500]

who?

[@oxiclean4972]

Idk about industry plant, but he definitely became mainstream famous due to everyone realizing he was Kendrick’s cousin on Family Ties. He still had some buzz tho because of Orange Soda and Moshpit, and kinda disappeared for a year or 2 after that. If he was an industry plant, I feel like the label would want to keep his buzz going instead going away until family ties like he did.

[@JakeSeal22]

Before I rlly started to fw music i got put on to baby keem without knowing anything I Lowk think without Kendrick l he wld still be rlly big def not as big tho

[@dunderzubbi5663]

he's Kendrick Lamar's cousin ofc Kendrick would put him on and Kendrick is anti-industry

It’s not what you know it’s who you know. When family looks out for family that’s a blessing. Family usually takes out one another for fame and fortune so to see family watching out for each other is a great thing. People get signed a lot and barely any get signed because they’re family. Every now and then so nothing wrong with it. Help a family member catch a bag why not. Better then let a family member catch a hot one to the chest. Family’s don’t move like they used to so it’s nice to see a change.

[@Ewoof]

Also it is funny to me how the 3 greats right now of hip hop were handpicked by the best from the previous generation. J.Cole with Jay Z, Drake with Lil Wayne, Kendrick with Dr. Dre. Heck, Tyler the Creator and Pharrell have a similar relationship as Pharrell opened up some doors for him. This is like having a champion dad who’s gonna help his son not make the same mistakes as him and there is nothing wrong with that ngl. Because if you are not good enough you will not last long regardless of whoever you know.

I mean, bro is literally Kendricks cousin, but he has the talent and dedication for his craft and thats shows more than what traditional industry plants have shown.

[@Ewoof]

I was observing him so closely before people were talking about Kendrick. Because I was like wow. The way he was moving was different from his peers I didn’t know why. I was like what label was he using, who made this video etc and yeah I found out about Kendrick because I observe him too. I was pissed a little when I heard the references but I stoppped caring because the potential was there and Kendrick was helping him like Dr. Dre did. But what it taught me was how fast and calculated you have to be to make it especially when you start buzzing. PGLang was so calculated it was not even funny. Showed me that’s the only way to reach the top: timing and execution and packaging,

[@kiloundacova3014]

Mayb im jus a hater but i cant look past that. Thats y drake is on "the throne" now. Since when did a artists merit not acrually matter?????

[@zoejackson4999]

Thought that too

[@natb9919]

It can be both lmao. His come up is the literal definition of industry plant and they legit tried to lie and act like they weren't related so if anything he's primarily an industry plant with a nepo advantage. None of this changes the quality of his music btw but we don't need to deny the literal facts. He can be an industry plant and make good music lol.

I still love how people keep thinking that nepotism is new or wrong. Would you not help your blood relatives succeed, if yall are on good terms with them?

[@reiNe__]

i feel like people that complain about it are nameless who's that are mad because they feel entitled to success.

[@randam1005]

I only think it's wrong if the relative is trash and taking opportunities away from actually talented people. Hip hop is such a big genre it doesn't really matter since the talented will rise up above the trash eventually whereas actors can get denied projects over someone's awful child and never get a chance to shine since that's just how the film industry works

[@Kudejikashi]

Regardless if he is a plant or not, it's about the quality of their music if it was bad, he wouldn't stick around but obviously that's not the case.

[@user-ee4ze1kv5m]

his flow and lyrics are so bad on a lot of his songs tho?? He wouldn't be where he is without all the help he's gotten. He'd prob have a fan base of like 20-30k monthly listeners which is still good but bro is not that talented be fr.

[@Kudejikashi]

@@user-ee4ze1kv5m okay user a bunch of letter and numbers

[@waltergutierrez1395]

I dunno man; music can be high quality AND bad. The same way $200 million dollar movies suck sometimes. Baby Keem to me has great production value; videos and beats, but his lyricism is kinda trash in my opinion.

[@sicklad9798]

To be completely honest who cares if hes an industry plant or not he makes good music and thats all that matters

[@natb9919]

So why did they need to lie and pretend they didn't know each other, why not just let his music speak for itself if that's all that matters?

[@angelinaoliver5587]

It’s funny how when I first started listening to his music I didn’t know him and Kendrick Lamar were related but there’s this one song of his I listened to and I thought to myself “this kid sounds like Kendrick here” later on is when I found out him and K dot were related and then it all made sense why he low key sounds like Kendrick at times…

[@DatBoiGloomy]

I was bumping orange soda, stats, rockstar p, honest as soon as i found the album in 2019. Im an early keem fan and its kinda dope

[@bubbagc859]

Being an industry plant isn’t always a bad thing, obviously…but this whole situation just reaffirms that knowing someone is the best knowledge you can have🤷‍♂️

[@gabrielmalta1962]

If Keem sucked, Kendrick wouldn't have picked him up. Keem does indeed not suck, and thus he got his flowers. Like, Knowing they're family and also knowing it's Kendrick rather than Sony, UMG or whoever, I think its okay.

[@timmy5876]

an artist having a platform isn’t a bad thing for me unless u start seeing stuff about them when u don’t go out of ur way to see it or when radios play songs regardless of how bad a song is just cus they have a lot of money or respect. I only knew about orange soda until 2022 and then i heard family ties and thought it was great so listened to his catalogue, i like how i’d never heard about him even tho his cousin is who he is. So it’s not one of those industry plants where someone just wants to put a family member on and they’re actually not talented, keem is talented and made his own way. His cousin might’ve helped him financially and gave him a great couple songs and i’ll get hate for this but i actually like more keem songs than kendrick songs which is great for keem cus it shows people aren’t just listening for him cus of who he is

[@goonjar34]

Baby Keem has the music to back up and overwrite his come up. Something not a lot of artists. Instead of being a clear juice world clone or something, he actually makes his own good music.

[@stokeleyg115]

There is a difference between an industry plant and having connections in the industry. Would you not be proud of your brother or cousin if you hear they now make music like you and it is pretty damn good. Also do we just forget that people like Drake got Lil Wayne’s attention real early in his career. We never call him an industry plant. Stop calling everyone that blows up an industry plant, especially when you don’t know what it means.

[@gr8_fortune]

Hakeem 'Carter' i guess that's what's up with the picture with Shawn Carter. Hopefully they'll make a track titled Mr Carter 2 with Lil Wayne. As for the Kendrick ties, he's always wanted to keep it a secret. "I hope Hakeem make you proud, cos you ain't die in vain"... I think he was the lil kid in that 'ALRIGHT' video too.

[@always_serpico]

You really can’t win in this situation. Had he said they are cousins, he would “only be famous because of his cousin”. He hid it, now he’s “only famous because of his cousin”. I still think his music is pretty bad, but I hope he can continue to grow as an artist.

So you have some facts wrong. He didn’t release his first ep through Sony, he signed with them after orange soda started gaining traction two projects later and they got his previous catalog which is why you see their name on the project now.

[@Dont-Ask-Me-My-Name]

Every rapper in history has always tried to put on their crew or their family, Eminem, Lil Wayne & Jay Z all wrote for their people &helped them get on. It seems clear that Keem got talent or Kendrick wouldn't waste his time w/ with dude. Even if it is Kendrick's alter ego or he writes most of Keem's shit so what, most fans today don't care bout ghostwriters &I've never heard people complain about Dr Dre. He had NWA write his raps &then Snoop, Eminem and 50-Cent. Young Thug & Durk both helped their people write songs &when they get the recipe down they do it themselves that's all this is, it's just a bigger deal cuz of Kendrick
