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.
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
Drake is a perfect example of industry plant, or t least as industry as it gets now that he's signed to unviersal that want 2 albums a year, an artist that owns himself can disappear for years if they feel like it, like Kendrick and Baby keem
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.
Its called NEPOTISM, NOT industry plant. If that was the case Natalie Cole, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Luther Vandross are all Industry Plants because It was their Family Members who opened the doors for them. Which I don't mind If its Nepotism to a certain degree because their family members introduced us to Music Geniuses, besides when 1 family member make it out the HOOD like Kendrick its only right for them to Look out for his family members who are worthy of the cosign.
I've been listening to Keem since 2018 and he keeps getting better. Idc if he had help from Kendrick or labels that saw a future in him. The man puts out food music period.
He produced beats for Kendrick, Jay Rock and Schoolboy from 18/19 so I wouldn't be surprised that he got some hookups from Kendrick. But it doesn't really matter, he is really talented.
@@kim-robinsylow3486 I mean I can't knock Kendrick for helping him and doing whatever he could. I'm not rich and I still try my best to put my people on when I can
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.
If you make good music and a really talented it doesnt matter where you come from or how you got there. Keem isnt a true plant. Kdot noticed how good he was helped plan out keem discography from the beginning. Hes is very lucky to have kdot in his corner and we shouldn’t shame him for using such a great artist as help.
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.
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.
Keem has been in the industry for a minute. I’m sure being Kendrick’s cousin has been super helpful in his career, and I’m sure you could argue that it’s then my reason that he got the fame he did, but he’s been working for the industry for a minute. Helping other artists write, and making reference tracks. I think the reason people tend to support Keem, despite having Plant allegations is that his music bops, and there is so much potential observed in his Hillbillies project with Kendrick. Keem has struggled, and there is a story to tell, and people want to see that story, he may be a plant, but this is one plant that has won over the people, and not just sold out for the money. Though no matter how far he goes, he’ll always be my favorite Minecraft CZcamsr
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?
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
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…
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.
even if he is, i think theres a massive difference between being planted by sony or umg executives and being panted by goated artists. For me it's cool and i think with Kendrick's mentorship he'll go on to make amazing music for years.
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,
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????? If yu find out this mans career is basically fabricated off kdots unreleased cuts & kdot living thru him vicariously....is keem a good artist or a good puppet? 🤔 Y'all let niggas like him, drake, yeat, & uzi slide den b surprised & hurt dat music is n da state dats its in 🤦🏾♂️ U let 1 bug in...next thing u know u have a infestation on yur hands 🤷🏾♂️
Honestly I think this shows KDOT is not just the goat of rap, but the goat cousin. I don't feel any type of way about this, I have mad respect for anyone who takes care of their family like this.
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.
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.
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🤷♂️
Sure keem got help from kdot on some songs but that doesn’t define him is what i admire about keem. Keem's feature with Don Toliver's OUTERSPACE was insanely good and even Cocoa on keems album was amazing and as far as we know keem WROTE those lyrics. Keem is definitely a great writer can’t wait to see what he drops next 🔥
As long as Baby Keem don't act like he had to struggle to get where he at I won't have no issue with him being a industry plant. Because honestly if the music is good it's good. Which his music is good. There's some industry plants who are obviously not talented at all and then there are some that are. so if it's good it's good but again at the same time none of them needs to act like they had to struggle to get where they are That's my only thing that bothers me about industry plants mostly.
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.
The man said he didn’t know Kendrick was his cousin at first. He said he felt awkward having the thought of being put on by Kendrick and Dot helped him reach his best potential before working together with him.
He is kendricks cousin and they really liked each other. Then after som time baby keem showed kendrick his Music, which impressed kendrick heavily. Kendrick gave him Huge oputunities with other Big artists. I dont see any problems with that. Like why shouldent kendrick give him those chances? Keem is obviously mad talented
Okay, I feel like people discredit Baby Keem as an artist a lot and act like he is basically a Kendrick Lamar alt account, which, in all due respect, is dumb and very disrespectful to Keem. Kendrick didn’t just straight up write all of Keem's catalog, and this post is basically saying that he did. Kendrick probably helped Keem write a couple songs, but acting like Kendrick has the time to run two careers is just unrealistic. They definitely help each other. I’m writing songs, and Kendrick possibly even has given Keem songs, and as much as y’all will hate to hear this and deny it, it is also likely that Keem has even given Kendrick songs, especially from the amount of rumors there are that he does. So basically, they probably ghostwrite for each other at times, but by no means in Keem some alt Kendrick account or some shit, like, don’t discredit Keem's artistry like that; he is his own artist, and y’all gotta treat him as it. (Also, there have also been things like Keem ghostwriting for various other rappers, so he can definitely write.)
I would say Kendrick Lamar gave him a oppurtunity, and baby keem took that oppurtunity and then kept going on his own. Most of his success is by himself.
If he acknowledged that Kendrick was his cousin from the start, it would’ve had made him blow up quick, but also die as quick (look at mr. Bro for example). So I think he just did it correctly, acknowledging that Kendrick was his cousin till he was somewhat popular. Plus his songs are actually really good, and some of my favorite Kendrick songs are in collab with keem
We wouldn’t care if instead Kendrick owned a business and when his cousin said they wanted to join the business Kendrick made him the manager. It’s literally just nepotism and it’s perfectly fine and respectful to bring your family to the top and pass the wealth forward .
I feel like it’s different when a family member genuinely wants to put you on and see you succeed. Rather than a major company forcing the artist to cut off all their ties and DSPs are forcing their music on us.
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
Don’t forget baby keem has wrote songs for famous rappers so I don’t think he’s a plant specially the fact he tried to hide he wrote music to Kendrick for long time until he felt like he was ready and was taking it seriously
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.

Pretty wild that Nick young the nba player are their cousins as well. I think there’s another cousin in nba now. Talented family for sure.
Keem is different but he’s fire as hell. He would have a fanbase no matter what
He kind of gets a pass bc he has some good shit, and his success mostly came from his connections then him being a industry plant
He was buzzing before dot linked up with him.
Keem has production creds on the Black Panther Album (2018), he blew up with orange soda, then people realized he was kendrick's cousin
range brothers is the only evidence you need to tell if kendrick ever wrote for BK that whole song sounds like one verse
Who cares if he’s an industry plant if he actually has talent? Keem hard!
Yall keep using the term industry plant and not agreeing on what it means.
KEEM THE NEXT DRAKE
He may be a industry plant, but the melodic blue is an amazing album
Crazy how people don't research like how on 16 is Keems that was given to him by kendrick even a reference track to it.
Plant or not. Melodic Blue was on repeat when it came out and I still listen to it heavily
idc if he a plant, nobody sounds like him and the music is amazing
Don’t forget baby keem has wrote songs for famous rappers so I don’t think he’s a plant specially the fact he tried to hide he wrote music to Kendrick for long time until he felt like he was ready and was taking it seriously
Maybe he didn't want to be known for just being his cousin.
keem fire asf so ion reallyy gaf this time
