The Biggest Thing out the D since Kwame....Big Sean!!


I was just recently put on game to this rapper named Big Sean and I realized we have alot in common...
1.) He's from the D. (So am I)
2.) He went to Cass Tech High School (I wanted to go to there but the parents exhibited their UMC on me)
3.)He's signed to GOOD music (What a coincidence!! Since I ALWAYS wanted to be signed to GOOD music for my impecable 80's style flow)

But back to the lesson @ hand:

Big Sean is the newest young MC to come to out with more of that refreshing, upbeat, just plain fun, hip hop that I've come to fall in love with. (See Pac Div and The Cool Kids) The type of music that is more than gun toting, gangsta, "I'm a bust a nigga in the head" boo boo, which is spreading like herpes in the D (sidebar: see T-baby, Tone Tone, and various local garbage)(Protect yourself people!!) The type of music where I don't feel worse (and angrier) after listening to it. People are calling him Baby Kanye (well just my one friend) but I think that 's a compliment considering that Kanye's one of the most influential hip hop artists of our time (and no, I'm not bias). Big Sean's delivery might be similar but his flow is his own. Its homegrown and you can here it in his rhymes. Its mainly sounds like he's just having fun in the studio and the tracks just fall into place.

I first heard this dude on the "Can't Tell Me Nothing" mixtape on his song "Gone Getcha Some", which in my opinion doesn't fully display his talents. Peep the track "Supa Dupa", FYI: Nice Production, which is from the infamous BOBO tape where he KILLS the metaphors: "So I'm on my grind, skateboard or scooter, til I am the king of my castle, Kupa" (lol)

I really enjoy listening to Big Sean. His subject matter is diverse but still relatable. He'll talk about his paper on "Rolling in the Doe", "When you see what my bank receipts is , you gonna want to be on top of my sheets like lines to looseleaf" to his version of Big's "Story to Tell" where he talks about a chick trying to run that raw bone game on him. Although 2 different stories from Big and Big Sean, points still taken, indeed. Stay away from grimey chicks.

Big Sean used to be known around the local party promoter circuit and after a rhyme session in front of Mr. West, he was signed to GOOD music. Just like Kanye talks about, in the "Dreams DO come true" fashion, he recognized the talent of Big Sean and made it happen and now the masses (us) can enjoy the dope music he has to offer.

My fav track include "Mr. T", "You" and "A Million Dollars"

"Never did anything illegal for the pesos so w/o Cane, I was always Able"

Download the mixtape and tell me what you think.
