Whether you're a rapper or not....?!
Question: Answer me these two questions. Which rapper would you love to be discovered by, and which record label would you want to be signed to?
For me, I'd like to be recognized by the BKMC, Talib Kweli, and (yea, you guessed it) be signed to the Blacksmith label, which gives me the chance to work with the Strong Arm Steady and Jean Grae.
Blacksmith is the movement man!

if i was a rapper, it would be great to be discovered by someone like talib, as you said, because he's a respected artist that can relate to the mainstream, while still staying dope. but it would also be pretty cool for me to be discovered by this guy son of ran, because he's local, so it would be pretty dope to get recognition in your own city.
as for a label, its pretty easy for me, id say stones throw no doubt. they offer complete artistic freedom, and they have great producers such as madlib and pb wolf, and j dilla was signed with them, so it would also be an honor to be recognized as a labelmate of a legend (also id be able to use his amazing beats). another plus is that i could blaze up the ganja with madlib, who im sure has the bombest herb on the planet. lol.
I'd have to say Kanye West because he's also a producer and I would love to learn from him.
dr. dre/ aftermath
either
Dr. Dre/ Aftermath or Jay-Z/ Roca Fella
i think it would be cool to get put on by kid rock but someone more straight up hiphop id say redman or ras kass and then get a deal with koch or another little known label. nothing big cause im in it for the music.
talib kweli/ blacksmith
kanye west/ roca fella
lil wayne/ cash money
tha sickest rappers in tha game
i would want to be discovered by "the world". i dont want to be signed to a major label. i would want to be responsible for helping a brand new label come up and get major label type exposure. if i HAD to choose... i would WANT to be discovered by KRS-ONE or COMMON.. and signed to BLACKSMITH or whatever label BLU (Blu & Exile) is signed to
Jay-z....signed to Rocafella
or
Kanye signed to G.O.O.D.
Under 9th Wonder's label, even though he doesn't have one
