@@roxxy1 well yeah, u could say that about anyone who blew 3 months after, the whole start of this video shows he actually had a discography before blowing, disproving the point that he isnt a industry plant
@@OfficialYeat You realize all industry plants have been putting out music right? They dont pick up random pedestrians on the street 💀 he is clearly a plant , Columbia records was credited on his spotify since the start 💀
ian is yeat sounding but quite the opposite with his lyrics and especially his cadence on social media, very active not being mysterious etc, people rush to say industry plant, this dude been producing for some years now
wouldnt say hes an industry plant because he has been making music for so long he just has a better marketing strategy now (if you look at 4batz there isn't really any old music like ian and he's def an industry plant)
u can make that argument, but then it’s really up to ur interpretation of an industry plant it, there r a ton of industry plants who were grinding for years. he wouldn’t have this success if it weren’t for a label. tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if they start hiding is old music
@@6ixStoriesnot even lil baby himself would have success without his first label deal, he’d still be underground, same as any artist that there is, has been and will be
Thans for actually making a video on the backstory of Ian and not just putting out the same old slop about how he's an "industry plant" and nothing else 🎉
I think a lot of people are confused on what an industry plant is, he has ties to Columbia and other music people in the industry, his overnight success is not organic and is being pushed heavily. Just because you make music for years doesn't make you immune to being an industry plant. Shit aint even that serious to him and its probably more of an experiment than trying to be an actual artist, hence why he just does the laziest thing possible and bites off yeat. His mixes are objectively really bad too, buddy needs to get a different engineer.
No, he’s been dropping for years and just recently got picked up by Columbia records and Akon’s little brother (ian manager) and they invested in his music and marketing
because the videos research isnt well done. pretending his old music was "drowsy mellow yeat" and not ambient music inspired by izaya. like no mention of iokera? the figurehead of that whole scene lol
@@robinyourhood76 I think it's obvious "who cares"... people who care about authenticity. It's fine if you don't care about it, we don't have to all like the same stuff.
this vid is probably clickbait tbf but i believe ian is not an industry plant but rather the consequental success of someone who is 1. good at marketing, 2. wider audience appeal due to him being white and not associated with gang violence or life. 3. good beat selection and hooks. 4. familiarity in his sound (somewhat similar to yeat, gucci mane), but with a new unique style over it.
5. Started getting financial and marketing backing from Akon’s brother and started appearing everywhere on social media and was followed by Drake, endorsed by Lil Yatchy, VonOf1700 (who is also a plant) before he even had 400k followers on instagram. If you can’t see the random , incredible, 0 to hero come lately, your in denial.
0:43 one thing I wanna say and I know you probably know this. But he ain’t even get a Cole Bennett video, he got a lyrical lemonade video done by one of their new video directors.
"Mysterious gay playboi Carti vampire"? Lmfaooooo He said that like he was serious, and that's how everyone refers to Playboi Carti lmfao smh bro I'm dead, might just be the comment of the year right there! We'll see tho...it's only July haha
quick question to all my underground fans I've been making music for 5 years producing my own beats engineering etc. and just got shit on, every post i made and im even a 6'5 skinny white boy lol i was just being my self to i dont get it
ion care about all that "ohhhh iannnn he's an industry plant" or "ohhh iannnn he's capping in his lyrics", i just hate him because his old music was so much more original and better
Cause this is what sells. A yt dude on a hard beat rapping especially being a "Yeat" archetype is what the current gen likes. Shi also look at Mabu, he wouldn't have been known if not for the drill music. It's all about marketing the game.
@@will_9910 facts people just don't understand that mocking black culture sales, its really us black people who make white people who act black famous, people don't understand that black people are dramatic and blow anything up. you can go on a social media and get famous for saying the n word cause your white shi crazy its nothing new tho people like whoa Vicky and bhad babie mocked black people and its got so much attention cause black people were dramatic and don't realize that racism and black mockery is gonna happen no matter what.
i was listening to soundcloud like 3 weeks ago and heard a leaked snippet, then a week later I saw him on lyrical lemonade and then this week he released a mixtape and everyones talking about him. I would like to think im pretty tapped in with the underground but I had never heard of him up until 3 weeks ago.
@171m fair, I just find it crazy that nobody was talking about him and I never saw his name up until a few weeks ago. that being said, i do like his music and I don't think hes an industry plant.
@@sith6375if u just found out about him three weeks ago u not as tapped in as u think. The last 2-4 months his insta posts/snippets were getting more and more likes. About three months ago I saw his first viral post at like 20k likes and every post after the likes went up and up. Bro just kept posting quality snippets and the algorithm did the rest
@@sith6375 He only started popping up on my YT a few weeks ago. Until he's trending on the main YT page, we can then say he's known. If I showed his music to anyone, no one would know who he is lmao I don't get the hype with his music. No hate at all. The younger crowd loves it I'm sure.
Ok so we have to be honest here.. If you respect a culture respect it.. Rap isn’t a thing based on numbers and it’s a lot of falsifying going on.. Ian is LITERALLY a mockery of the culture itself.. He’s not a “passionate” Artist, he’s an opportunist, which is ok but at this point we just stopped even using TRUE meanings to “distort” what the truth…. And truthfully Ian hasn’t been an underground artist most of his career.. Underground means UNSIGNED… You CANNOT be apart of a major label AND be an underground artist… He’s what Batz is and honestly ALOT of rap now.. People put there to push a specific message.. Ian’s a mockery of black culture in terms of he’s rapping like he had a struggle while showing he’s had none.. Then if they can make him SOUND black enough he sells.. He like most of the “underground’s” now are signed to majors and in HONESTY couldnt and never would be looked at as above or even in comparison to the underground artist ACTUALLY talented enough to gain traction without marketing stats that match album budget…
@@6ixStories Him be true to himself cause THATS what hip hop and rap is… We don’t rap about the trap and stuff “cause it’s cool” it’s most of our daily experiences we SEE even if we don’t do it ourselves as Black Americans.. If you’ve never heard of him look up Marlon Craft.. He’s a PRIME example of how you should correctly approach rap if you’re not actually from the streets… Display your TALENT.. Music can be GREAT without a SINGLE word on drugs OR struggles and even today while we can say “The lil baby’s and Moneybagg Yos ARE popular” they STILL say the Big 3 is Dot Cole Kendrick.. Because they BARELY rap the bs the industry would like to sell to people as “the black life”, cause we ARE more than that.. Another good person I LOVE to point out is Mac Miller who when he first came out make “cool funny frat songs” with like Asher Roth, one day he asked Snoop “I really respect rap and I just want to understand why people don’t respect me in the culture”.. Snoop told him “Cause you’re making music not made for hip hop and calling it rap.. This music is a historic record of Black American struggles, and while you may hear it and just said that’s catchy ima rock to it, for blacks it NEEDS a TRUE message”… If all artist understood that they’d last and make it.. But that’s why MAJORITY of rappers don’t even have 5 years runs.. And cause CONSTANTLY hearing stuff of no substance minus “it’s catchy and makes me move” Will fade..
@@6ixStories As Mac Miller did.. Just change his sound into what’s TRUE to himself.. What people HONESTLY don’t want to admit is people (outside of the black race) TRULY want ALL parts of us BUT the struggles… And musically well that’s where the BEST comes from.. If he could just focus on things like “I was tryna do stuff to be cool even if it wasn’t true” well even that in itself is better than rapping about a struggle you don’t have..
This is click bait and bs lol. He went viral way back during covid from a Meme. then created music for soundcloud, and used his clout from the meme to be put into the algorithm. Not a plant, just a normal guy who actually made it lol. Weird ass click bait video.

it all starts with his ability to play those keys fluently

Are you going to do a vid on Tommy Richman? Hes also supposedly an industry plant.
didn’t mention how he sounded like izaya before yeat

"yes ian" they say in unison
