Big Sean - I Go Hard (ft. Pat Piff)


Big Sean - What I Do

One thing I can never deny about Big Sean is that he's damn near impossible to not nod your head to the GOOD Music member. His rhymes roll of his tongue well and he can ride a beat as well as anyone of the young bucks in the game. I'll admit I slept on Sean, though sometimes he can get more repetitive than Waka Flocka's ad-libs. Finally Famous Vol. 3 is upcoming, but without a release date at this moment. I can't say whether I'm going to like the third and final installment on the interweb-loved mixtape series. Yet, Sean's charisma and trademark slow-flow pique the ears' interest more and more. These are the newest leaks from the tape, with the Pat Piff-assisted track boasting a bass-heavy beat and Sean waxing prophetic about how good he is. You can say the exact thing about the second one. I guess if hip-hop has to evolve into a huge boasting contest, the way rappers do it should set them apart. Sean might not be Wordsworth, but he'll be able to (relatively) hold his own against his labelmates Cudder and Ye, come September...

BONUS: Completely forgot to post this up, but Sean's trailer for Finally Famous: Volume 3 is definitely worth seeing...

Big Sean - High Rise

Sometimes you have to just accept rappers for what they are. There has never and will never be anything wrong with swag-raps. They're essentially where hip-hop started, and ironically, where we are now again (more proof that hip-hop is cyclical). Big Sean is the progeny of such a movement, and though at times I've been critical of him, dude can actually spit. 'High Rise' is the first track off his new mixtape 'Finally Famous: Volume 3'. Sean has a punchline for every breath you take while listening to it, and I, for one, can't be mad at the man. In fact, I'm actually looking forward to the new mixtape. Consider me a fan, Big Sean. Not a stan, but as far as swag-raps go, Big Sean is on a level few are. Guess that's why the track is called 'High Rise'...

Big Sean - What U Doin? (Bull$#!@ting)

A little late on this one.. Sue me. Anyways, Big Sean has slowly been gaining a little favor in my eyes, just because he's working on that ultra-lazy flow and supplementing it with good beat selection. I guess that's what happens when you have GOOD Music and Def Jam in your corner. The Olympicks did a number on the instrumental. On the first track from his debut album 'Finally Famous', Sean pays tribute to the timeless art that everyone and their momma has partaken in at one point or another. Some call it procrastinating, my DC folk call it loafin' (#shoutout to @AKZionz), but most people can recognize bull$#!tting a mile away. Hopefully, the rest of the album doesn't take after this title. Sean, you're gaining some steam, so let's hope you've got enough to last you at least 12 tracks. Whatever the case, check out the first single...
