With that being said, lets get into Big Sean's HALL OF FAME for a minute, lemme share my thought and bless your minds with some rare insight and knowledge and all that good shit.
1. Nothing Is Stopping You
This track IN MY OPINION is the best insight into Sean's personality ive ever heard him put on wax. The messge behind the record is phenomenal. Sean basically recounted his leap of faith to go to a radio station and spit a freestyle to Kanye, which got him signed to GOOD Music, and then flipped the story with his own account of a young rapper from Detroit who he let spit some bars for him at a radio, station. Sean really is just telling everyone to just follow your dream and never give up on shit, Great Song.
2. Fire
This is supposedly the REAL first single off the album (Guap was more like a street single that eventually only made the bonus cuts). It's VERY radio friendly, i like the way the sample on the chorus is blended into the beat, the track very upbeat which is a good change of pace form the solemn beginning of the album. It was aite, i like it i ain't even gon front.
3. 10 2 10
The song is bittersweet to me. Sweet because i love the trap sound he invokes in the record, but bitter because ohhh myy worrrrddd when is voice stretches out in the latter part of the song and on the hook, fuccckkk that shit mad annoyin to me, but unno... it is what it is. This is a hit/miss fo rme. Like if i'm in my room gettin ready to go like, a fuckin rally or a football game where the stadium is packed or to war or some shit, this would be like illmatic to me, other than that, i might skip this shit everytime.
4. Toyota Music
This track is mediocre mayne... it seems like an album filler to me... like what the fuck did you think about this record? cuz i aint know myself, so go start a blog n lemme get some insite into this record here b.
5. You Don't Know
This song was cool, Sean does show his songmaking ability A LOT on this album, i like the beat n shit, bar-wise Sean was just aite. I'm not gon bash this record one bit, but at the same time, not much praise can be given either b.
6. Beware ft. Lil wayne & Jhene Aiko
THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE REALEST RECORD I HEARD IN A MINUTEEEE..... now wait wait wait UNDERSTAND WHAT IM SAYIN. The lyrics to this shit, is superrrrr accurate from any male's perspective, that is what i mean by real. It's like Sean is just talkin, he did it so effortless mayne idk bout y'all but this my favourite record off the fuckin album, i played this shit like 900 times already b. Wayne actually did NOT dissappoint me, which is a first ina while yo. I HOPE ALL FEMALES EVERYWHERE LISTENED CAREFULLY TO THIS RECORD gotdamnit!
(btw if u seen the video that jhene aiko bitch is a walkin truck load of sex appeal dawg FUCK)
7. First Chain ft. NaS an Kid Cudi
I love it when one great song is followed by another one, oh yesss that shit refreshing. This record is sean basically comparing the feeling u get when you achieve a goal, to when you got your first big chain. Which in the world of rap is like the equivalent of "fuck it, i'm here, look at me" NaS, aka Esco aka Nasty NaS aka Half Man Half Amazing aka the Rap Gawd aka the GOAT DEMOLISHED this record b, best verse on the album hands down. Nobody touchin the kid and his flow was sooo fresh. Cudi that nigga too, first time he came in and actually spit bars ona record in a while. Much props to that classic Cudi style singing at the end too. This like top 5 on the album fuhsure.
8. Mona Lisa
Since that Detroit mixtape's huge success, Sean really been on his trap shit and it is workin great. Mona Lisa is another one of these records and Sean sounds comfortable on it. He on his ignant shit too tlkin bout threesomes n shit. This song aite.
9. Freaky
I ain't gon front as a GREAT SUPPORTER AND INDULGER of MILF and Cougars alike, this skit right here kina made my dick hard. That woman moanin n talkin nasty n shit, this kina reminded me of the infamous Biggie Skit where he was fuckin that girl in the studio lmaooo. Good shit here Seany.
10. MILF ft. Juicy J and Nicki Minaj
"man not my momma, man not my momma, man not my momma... you messin with my momma!" This is the funniest song you gon here in a minutteeee b, the lyrics to this shit is sooo fuckin clever and real, i could see myself sayin and doin dat shit lmaoo. AND THE SONG GOES HARRRRDDDDD crazzzyy ass beat. I fuck wit this a lotttt, my second fav song on the album for sure. Juicy J was in his comfort zone, Nicki was trasshhhhhhh.
11. Sierra Leone/Greedy Ho's
Sierra Leone was meehh, i dnt really like sean singin like that. This was kina dwn the Drake road too... soo... unno. The metaphor of the record was cool though, comparin the luxurious shit in Seans life to diamonds and gold from Sierra Leone, but i aint really like how it "sound" dig me?
12. It's Time ft, Jeezy & Payroll
This sing confused the shit outta me. Apparently it was supposed to be some deep shit about the realities of Detroit and shit, but to me Sean n Jeezy was rappin some ignant shit. Only the hook really mention anything about the city, but maybe i ain't really fuckin dissect that shit idk. Jeezy spit a aite verse, i fuck wit it but that Payroll nigga sound like a Young Money throw away artist, fuckoutta here b.
13. World Ablaze ft James Fauntleroy
This record was great song writing skills from the kid Sean Don. I was impressed. The message here really fuckin touched the MINUTE soft side of my heart b. James Fountleroy was good stuff too. Not my favourite somg, but great record, one of Sean;s better work.
14. Ashley ft. Miguel
MAAAYNNNEEEEEE when Miguel start to sing, i just fuck with the record wayy more than i normally would(no homo) He got a a classic voice, and it compliments hiphop records like this sooo well. Sean's song writing skillz was excellent here too yo. WE ALL HAVE?HAD AN "ASHLEY" in our lives, I know i fuckin do. This was Sean gettin real introspective about the relationship he ACTUALLY had with his ex Ashley (his highschool sweetheart). This was some grown man shit. DRAKE TAKE FUCKIN NOTE
15. All Figured Out
This was ite. Typical album closer. Real somber and cool beat... Sean kina gives a cool message at the end about being remembered for being good, despite your mistakes. He kina lost me a bit in the monologue at the end but... waeva unno.
BONUS CUTS
16. Mula Remix ft Meek Mill, 2 Chainz & Early Mac
THE TRACK IS A BANGERRRRRRRRR. The Ignant level on this one are critical. If you into slappin niggaz or tryna sum up the courage to slap a muhfucker, spin this like 3 times. I lost like 10 pounds dancin to this record in my room, no bs. This BLEW the original away dawg.
17. Switch Up
At this point you prolly realize that Sean put al the BEST radio singles on the bonus cut to make niggaz spen that extra 2 or 3 USD. Its all good tho. this record was cool, Common was a breath of fresh air too , very different to see him on this kina record but he did his thing.
18. Guap
FIREEEEEEE, I fuckin love this record. Just such a fun semi-hype song to bump. Fun lyrics just fun mayne aite, i like to fuckin have fun sometimes.
CONCLUSION
Let's be really real here Big Sean is and average/little above average rapper. BUT what he lack in lyrics, he makes up for in flow ad libs and song making/writing ability. THAT BEING SAID, he make good music(pun intended) and i appreciate that. If you something fun to listen to while you on ur way to work in the AM, this is your shit. THIS IS A HUGEEEEE STEP UP FROM THAT FINALLY FAMOUS BULLSHIT
My raiting, 7-7.25 outta 10
GOOD Music, for life.
